I was recently at a get-together dinner for my sister-in-law's family, who are of German descent. At the dinner table one of them offered me sauerkraut, which I don't like. I really didn't think through my response: "No thanks, I'm not a kraut person."     

There's a place in Cleveland that's been making an Avocado-Vanilla vegan ice cream for a few years now.

Ice cream now has a new flavor.

Try Reaper's Chronoscope line. Hasslefree Miniatures may also have what you're looking for. 

Younger boy's Lego robotics league involves a field of simple devices (which changes every year) that the robot must go out and manipulate.  Lift this lever, push this object to that part of the table, spin that wheel, raise that flag, and so on.  It's all point scored so there's no direct head to head.
 
 

Everything is coming up pomegranates!

I remember her from many years at ABC News. A true product of the journalistic tradition of presenting verifiable fact as objectively as possible. Too many of those have left us.

The Sep. 14, 2019 issue of The Economist has a brief article on exoplanet K2-a8b. It explains briefly how Dr Tsiara &co. spectroscopically detected water in the exoplanet's atmosphere (while admitting that, alone, did not reveal what form the water was in). They also found evidence for lots of hydrogen and helium, which emphasizes that the "Most Earthlike Planet Yet" description is very much grading on a curve.
 
The issue also has articles about a new forensic technique for identifying the source of sand (sand theft is a big thing -- take note, Dark Champions GMs!) and a study proposing that Neanderthals were dangerously prone to ear infections. Because The Economist likes to report on the stranger sides of science to which most mass market publications pay little attention. The sand science article is titled, "Name That Dune."

My sister once bit a moose. She was reeeally irate at the time, I mean, more than usual.

Ever notice that on just about every crucifix Jesus has a six-pack? I can only surmise, the walk to Golgotha was the original crossfit. 

I don't think they'll ever know who, but it was almost certainly a sub....
