    Anybody interested in taking down the dragon sometime soon? What time would work best for people?

    Edit: we are set up to trade for full diamond gear (and most all enchantments) in the trade hall, providing you have a bit of time and patience to do so.

    Edit 2: how do people feel about tomorrow morning (Saturday circa 8-9AM EST)?

    Edit 3: never mind on Saturday; we'll figure out another day

    If you're up for doing some trading, we have full diamond gear (and enchantments) available at the trade depot now.

    I think we're still missing a few enchantments for things like crossbows and tridents but (I believe; haven't really had enough time to make sure) everything for tools, armor, and swords is available

    Try ginger pills! My wife gets motion sick and, so far, they seem to be the cure for her!

    Is there a way to get DH to generate distant builds in "real time"? I was operating on the assumption that distant builds only update when I'm physically close enough for DH to update.

    I thought that women just find every guy attractive when they're ovulating. My wife told me once that she had a few "wow, body. Really? We're all hot and bothered because we saw the greasy convenience store janitor? Calm down" moments when she was still single.

    Maybe a bit out of left field, but two movies I watched expecting nothing and leaving pleasantly surprised recently are Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022) and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)

    I will allow that Captain Underpants had a bit of a nostalgia factor in my enjoyment, but I still would recommend the watch.

    I feel like I shouldn't really get a vote considering how hard I fell off the Minecraft server but I'd be down for that

    I have a buddy that grows his own and one summer he had to leave for a job and left his cultures at my house and gave me detailed instructions on how to take care of them.

    I did a good job of taking care of them.....for about a week, and then I forgot about them. Remembered a couple weeks later and went into the (otherwise unused) room to check and....full harvest all ready for me to take. So I take that harvest and leave the room and promptly forget they're there again.

    This happened like 3 or 4 times. I somehow managed to be wildly successful at growing "my own" mushrooms despite putting in effectively zero effort. I don't think my buddy ever managed to reach that level of success....

    I don't have much going on at work right now so I decided to go check out the numbers on total watch time by phase so here goes:

    I'm using this thread as a source. If I'm honest, I didn't do any further research to confirm if these are the perfectly accurate numbers or not but I'm assuming they're at worst close to reality.

    Phase 1: 12h 24m

    Phase 2: 12h 37m, a 1.75% increase from phase 1

    Phase 3: 24h 55m, 97.5% increase from Phase 2. At least there are only a couple movies that are somewhat painful to sit through. The rest are kind of all bangers

    Phase 4: 57h 42m, 131.6% increase from phase 3. JESUS that's a spike. Not to mention, as someone who (regrettably) watched most of phase 4, I'd say there are maybe 5 projects (of EIGHTEEN) worth watching in phase 4. Everything else is forgettable at best (name one thing that happened in the Hawkeye show other than the cringe worthy musical number, I dare you) and downright painful at worst. (Looking at you, Black Widow and Eternals)

    Realistically speaking, ain't nobody got time for all that. I watched most of Phase 4 more as a result of excessive boredom than actual interest in the MCU. It really seemed like the floodgates opened after Phase 3 and suddenly MCU was the new 2018 era Netflix where any idea got greenlit, no matter how terrible or boring or pointless.

    Wasn't me; or if it was I don't remember doing it. I'm fairly confident most of my early farms that I built eventually became obsolete as people built bigger and better farms anyway.

    The only places I really have any kind of personal attachment to on the server are the trading hall and my...truly hideous hovel shoved into the side of the mountain above Gravy's house. Anything else I built, feel free to destroy lol.
