Just checking in quick with either the SKA or SVA to ensure this doesn't get forgotten. :)

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 20, 2026, 03:36:56 PMOne other suggestion for the Baron: roast vegetable salad. Diced sweet potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli on a tray in the oven, toss with mixed greens. Use the leftover vegetables with eggs in a hash for breakfast one day on the weekend. Simple, versatile, tasty.

We do the roast vegetables and will often have them with eggs, although I'm not sure we ever have had them in a salad.  I wouldn't have thought of that -- I'd guess you have to dice them pretty small so that big chunks of veggies don't overwhelm your lettuce?

The general rule of thumb that we use is "cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise, then size the sweet potato and onion to match". SP cubes end up being about 3/4" - 1" on a side. The broccoli florets are basically just left as they are, lol.

Congratulations and welcome, No·ac'h! Since you're not just a Talossan, but a Belacostan (congrats on that by the way), as the Governadeir I thought I should probably let you know of a few things:

- New Belacostans who immigrate during the middle of a Provincial Assembly session have the right to claim a seat.
- You can also pick a canton and sextieir of the province to be assigned to (or have one assigned to you). This doesn't really do anything, apart from encourage you to look into local landmarks/features.

Azul all! As Talossa prepares to wrap up the second season of our fantasy hockey league, it seems fair to assert that ice hockey has become one of our more popular national sports (after cycling and of course Talossan football).

But what about playing it a bit more immersively, instead of just numbers and stats on a screen? There's a game for that. It's called Puck, and it's free on Steam.

It's pretty straightforward: first-person view, you use WASD to move around, and your mouse controls your stick. It's the finessing that makes it tough. You can play a private practice session on your own computer, or hop in to someone's server to get some experience. I would definitely recommend practicing shooting a bit if you want to be accurate. On the other hand, if we're all roughly equally bad, then the games should be entertainingly close, right?


I was thinking we could try and do a game of 3-on-3. Maybe if we get really lucky, there could be a three-team round-robin deal? It depends on when people are free and how many are interested. This is just to gauge initial interest, put a feeler out there.

Perhaps if all finals is a bit much you can start by voting on the category(ies) that interests you most?

Marcus, if you like Close Encounters I hope you plan to check out Spielberg's next alien flick, Disclosure Day. Comes out in June in North America, not sure if release delayed internationally.

Yep, I definitely plan to do that.

I watched Project Hail Mary over the weekend and it was good. Was faithful to the book, with a couple of notable departures (both for the purpose of humor.)

I only speak English. I wanted to learn the language of my ancestors (German) but I could never find the time. I also wanted to learn Talossan!

I'm curious as to why you want to learn German.
