Pwns now owes a pick, but, Bolt can post whenever

I'll go with dumplings, which is somewhat vague, the wiki page shows toasted ravioli!

Basically dough wrapped around filling often steamed but sometimes fried with some sort of dipping sauce. Specifically soup dumplings if I have to pick one. I'll add a bit in the next post.

Here's a video about them, the thumbnail is the best picture I've been able to find that makes you want to eat it right now but a dumpling filled with a gelatin soup unami bomb with ground pork etc filling.



They are pretty much all great though and honestly a perfectly steamed (or boiled) dumpling texture is amazing, not sure why they are ever fried.

I've owned 2 Montblanc pens. One of them was ****ing awesome until it got stolen, and then I was in a foul mood for days because of it. The other one I still have. It's a really nice pen, but the cartridges cost a boatload and they don't last nearly long enough. I guess if you're a sports agent or a high-powered attorney, and impressing people is part of your deal, then you carry a pen around that costs more than most people pay in rent (or monthly mortgage).

And pencils? They're good for crossword puzzles and sukokus. But nobody actually writes with a pencil once they're out of grade school.

What do people actually want to carry around in their pocket/purse? A good, dependable, affordable, blue pen. The Pilot G-2 07 in blue.



This pen rocks. One of the earliest gel pens that I can ever remember taking for a drive. The 7 mm width is perfect. No blots, no bubbles. You don't have to shake it to get it going.

The weight of the pen is nice and solid. The rubber grip makes it a pleasure to hold while you're taking notes. If you've ever owned one of these pens, then you're nodding your head in agreement with me. And if you haven't try one out and you'll be a fan.

If someone steals your Pilot G2? No worries. You can buy them by the dozen for under $1 a pen.

This isn't the pen that you wish you had. This is the pen that you're glad you have.

Damn bolt went hard in that submission. I’m not mad about it.

Also Bolt, you gotta get a converter for that Mont Blanc and just reload the ink! It’s fun

I’m gonna pick a whiteboard with dry erase markers for writing

I’ll figure out brand in a bit but don’t wanna hold up the draft


Nothing beats a whiteboard for writing, diagraming, drawing, brainstorming, collaborating, or just plain getting an idea out of your head.

Damn thought that would drop to me as last pick.

Soup dumplings are a gift from the divine.

is it my pick?

Yep!

you're up deli

Oldest living former U.S. Cabinet member and the last surviving member of Nixon's Cabinet, Henry Kissinger, for birth prevention. Architect of genocide in Cambodia & orchestrator of propaganda leading to the Vietnam war. Living war criminal with a Nobel peace prize.

This category feels icky regardless.

deli, i'd be totally down for you to not pick my category in protest

I've got a ball point, and I just get the Mont Blanc refills. Now I'm looking online and I'm wondering if I can't get the rollerball refills instead for the same pen.

Interesting, I don’t think you can but you might be able to hack it. I know you can put Mont Blanc rollerball refills in the Pilot G-2 with some knife work on the hollow plastic end. I’m not sure what the point of that would be though, since the Mont Blanc barrel gives the prestige :P

The biggest scam is alternative medicine.

A multi-billion dollar industry based on pseudoscience and lies. And since there is almost no regulation, people can say pretty much whatever they want with no proof whatsoever, and nobody can really stop them. So when you have people like Dr Oz and a whole host of celebrities endorsing this ****, people are going to listen.

But this scam is not just fleecing people out of a whole bunch of money - when people with serious illnesses turn to alternative therapies over proper medical care, they often end up in a much worse situation, or even die unnecessarily. Even Steve Jobs got duped and paid the ultimate price for it.

Can't do writeups as away with work and no pc.

English Monarch - Henry VIII

OK for best console game, I'll go for the Switch version of Civilisation 6 (if that's allowed given there is a computer version.)

An immersive 4X game where you take a society from inception through to the future building up culture, military, science and religion at your behest. Combining environmental, societal and tactical game mechanics, it's a real thinker that has given me >200 hours of joy over the last year.

Also, the soundtrack's are insane

Oh man people live that game. Every time I think about trying it I think about how much I'd have to learn to play good

Civ 6 is the worst of the civ games, and is still amazing.

I think I spent about 2 years playing Civ 2. As in 17,000 total hours at the computer.

I'm doing a very fun viking game pillaging the world atm. Storming round in permanent war.

On Zs point- have you got all the DLCs now? The latest releases have really brought balance to it and I'd say its up there now, catching my beloved civ 4.

Civ 2 is how I got in to it though bolt. We used to do multilayer on family holidays when it rained. Such good memories

sorry, aware I owe writeups but work has been mad and I want to keep the draft moving, will add writeups as soon as I'm able

Most useless thing that most people own/have
