Some apple juices contain an ingredient called isinglass which is made from dried fish bladders. And some apples may be waxed with beeswax (from bees) or shellac (from bugs) before being juiced.

Polyporus squamosus. Looks like it from the top. I'd wanna see the underside to see the pores not gills, just to be sure.

Yeah, we've already seen she is willing to take action against Dawn and Dusk, as she's more loyal to Day. She's also clearly pissed at Day for using her religion for his benefit and forcing her to kill that religious leader. I think her ultimate allegiance is to the genetic dynasty itself, so Day moving to end it is what forces her to act against him.

I was hooked by episode 4 when Bunk and McNulty are at the crime scene

Going in to season 2 can feel a bit jarring if you were expecting it to continue to be about the drug trade, but the show is about Baltimore and each season shows different aspects of the city. The police/drug trade, the docks, government bureaucracy, school system, and the media. For me it's what makes the wire stand out.

I think they mean the American office. Which gets significantly better after the first season, when they stop trying to just copy the original and do their own thing.

It's like reading dystopian sci-fi

Quite a lot of horny though... 😳

I'll admit. The empire stuff is what is keeping me in the show. Lee Pace is excellent!

True, but from a storytelling perspective, it doesn't make sense to me to bring him back without explanation just to kill him off the next episode. Its jarring

Great minds think alike it seems 😆. Thanks

It's nice to get that context for Seldon, but the whole 'life flashing before their eyes, deathbed flashback' trope took me out of the episode.

Getting whiplash with how many times Seldon is dying and being resurrected ATM. Even if this is a fake out, it's getting a bit much

Good idea. Any suggestions from your search?

I hate it when they kill a character just to develop another, it's so lazy and cliché. Definitely one of my pet peeves in media, along with 'the plot only works because characters refuse to communicate'.

I do hear very good things. I'm a big fan of co-ops with hidden traitor mechanics, and of the early Alien films (which Nemesis is in no way affiliated with, honest), so this looks right up my street.

I'm going to be playing Nemesis tomorrow with some friends. I've not played it before and I'm rather looking forward to it

That's good to hear. I absolutely loved Time but didn't enjoy Ruin anywhere near as much, so I didn't read Memory. Might have to get on that

Thanks!

And I believe there are more players than ever right now due to the event. P.s. is there a fedi Hunt community? I've not seen one yet
