They never actually traveled by balloon in the book, so I don't know if this is written by someone that never read the book, or if its written by someone that saw a book with a balloon on the cover and then got really confused because it never happens. Judging by this being Macanudo and the typical twee bullshit happening, I'm guessing the former.
Liniers is absolutely one of those people who fetishise books but never actually read anything. They'll have extremely strong (negative) feelings about ebooks and book art and proudly tell you that they reread Little Women or Lord of the Rings at least once a year. I have known a number of these people and they are exactly Macanudo's target audience.

That's a bow tie. The best kind of tie.
That's what "black tie" requires.

Wikipedia posted:

Black tie is a semi-formal Western dress code for evening events, originating in British and North American conventions for attire in the 19th century. In British English, the dress code is often referred to synecdochically by its principal element for men, the dinner suit or dinner jacket. In American English, the equivalent term tuxedo (or tux) is common. The dinner suit is a black, midnight blue or white two- or three-piece suit, distinguished by satin or grosgrain jacket lapels and similar stripes along the outseam of the trousers. It is worn with a white dress shirt with standing or turndown collar and link cuffs, a black bow tie, typically an evening waistcoat or a cummerbund, and black patent leather dress shoes or court pumps. Accessories may include a semi-formal homburg, bowler, or boater hat. For women, an evening gown or other fashionable evening attire may be worn.

"Well, kids, Wildcard won out, and we drew Blasted from the hat. I guess next year we'll specify 'chosen from the three above' but for now it's probably best if your parents sit this one out."
It occurs to me that the wildcard is a really bad option to have in this poll. The people who vote for it presumably have no strong preference and should just not vote because if it wins it's got a two in three chance of making a lot of people very angry and potentially only pleasing a small minority.

It actually stands out as unusual in Baldur's Gate 3 that, once you get to the city, there are a bunch of NPCs standing around in the streets having conversations and the vast majority of them have no interest in talking to you or giving you any tasks or letting you help them solve their problems. It's actually kind of annoying how much time you can waste trying to start quests with NPCs who only exist to add detail and colour to the world.

It's not something I've really heard people say but I've certainly noticed it about myself. In summer I'll be happy with something like salad and a bit of fish for dinner, whereas in winter I'll want a good solid meal.

I am confused by the dialogue in the first panel here. "If the men get their money back they'll quit... but I doubt it." Doubt what? That they'll get their money back? That they'll quit if they do? I doubt they'll quit just as they start winning, too, if that's what she means. But it doesn't seem to be or why would she go ahead with the plan?

Is this true? Surely the liquid itself would "push down" (ie. be drawn downward by gravity) regardless of whether there was any air in the enclosure or not? Can someone explain this to me?

Tendales posted:

Pressure from gravity depends only on height, not surface area. The liquid inside the straw is pushing just as hard as the liquid outside the straw, so there needs to be a difference in air pressure to break that equilibrium. If it's just vacuum on both sides, there's nothing to disturb the liquid position.

I AM GRANDO posted:

Air pressure pushes the liquid up the straw when your mouth draws in the air inside the straw to create a vacuum. The solution is badly phrased, but the liquid in a straw moves up because the air in the room pushes down on it to cause it to fill the space created by the vacuum inside the straw. If Count Weirdly were in a vacuum, his straw wouldn’t work.
