Probably need more crossbows because the Romans sorta forgot, according to Emperor Leo VI The Wise

The fact that archery has been completely neglected and fallen into disuse among the Romans has caused a great deal of harm nowadays.

Please tell me this is the German word for wielding a tire iron 🙏

Finally, a chance to talk about Michael the Deacon! I mean there’s not a lot to say but it’s really interesting that an Ethiopian deacon befriended Martin Luther and demonstrated to him there’s valid Christianity beyond the pope’s clutches.

Edit: and for extra Star Trek fun Ferengi and Negus are Ethiopian words for foreigner and king 🤓

it hasn’t been totally frustrating and time-consuming, so far

If you like the taste I encourage you to try a batch using a tortilla press with smaller pieces of parchment. Should give you the same effect, but faster and without large unwieldy sheets. It’s what I do when I make corn tortillas, it’s way faster than mastering the hydration and finesse required for making them by hand. Plus you can prep an entire stack layered between parchments and then cook them all in one go.

As for me, having to wash that pan every time isn’t sustainable. I’m just too lazy haha.

Don't you get it? You cocksucker! I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He's the Number Two Guy at OCP. OCP runs the cops.

I really like this, strong abuela energy 👍

Tortillas look especially crunchy. FWIW, when I make tacos I like to fry the corn tortillas and toss them in Parmesan cheese (shamelessly stole that from Jimboy’s Tacos).

Do you make the beans or buy them refried from the nearby Vallarta or whatever?

it seems like Trip Tucker was one of the three main characters, Phlox was a constant presence even if rarely the main character, and then Mayweather and Hoshi got like one episode a season in which they were even involved.

Nailed it I’m afraid.

One the plus side, all episodes with Phlox are better for having him, except when he’s clearly pushing the awkward romance plots along.

The real tragedy is Travis and Hoshi; at least they finally get to shine (a little) on the mirror universe episode 😎

My brief experience with night reign

New Star Trek movie you say?

Is O’Brien is faking transporter mishaps so he can sacrifice them to the void and keep the writhing eldritch horrors from swallowing the galaxy? I want to say yes.

My man was a high school dropout turned noble slayer turned selllout emperor. What a life 😎

 

I really like the beginning, but it’s all downhill from there

 

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!

 

Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

 

The movie’s still great, but the book was really that amazing.

 

Possibly unpopular opinion: Harbinger is one of the absolute best episodes of Enterprise

 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.
