Also optisch würde es schon passen. Aber ja, am gängigsten sind vermutlich die klassischen W6 oder W20, vll noch W100. Ab und an gibt es auch Systeme mit "Steigerung der Würfel", aber da ist ein W12 auch nicht sooo oft wichtig. Aber für Schadenswürfe oder so in einigen Systemen. Aber mir fällt tatsächlich kein System ein, bei dem ein W12 der "Hauptwürfel" ist.
Was halt für einen W20 spricht, um viele Rollenspielis anzusprechen, ist, wie wichtig die bei Dungeons and Dragons und Das schwarze Auge sind. Und von vielen sind sie glaube auch die Lieblungswürfel.
Yes, that is *exactly* the attraction point.
Unfortunately, it is probably attracting a zillion other sailing-involved ND environmentalist anti-social old people.
Maybe I should go check it out, just to be sure…

De Tweede Kamer kwam vandaag in spoedzitting terug van reces. Wat was er aan de hand? Geen plek meer in de zorg? De genocide in Gaza?
Nee, er moest 270 miljoen euro aan staatssteun voor de waarschijnlijk frauduleuze marine-scheepsbouwer Damen Nava beschikbaar gesteld worden.
De stemming duurde 4 minuten en er was geen debat.

Kansas City bus service is even worse in the suburbs. Leaders hope to stop the ‘death spiral’
Most Kansas City suburbs have stopped their transit funding in recent years, ending many of the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority’s suburban bus routes. Experts say that’s put the area into a transit death spiral.Savannah Hawley-Bates (KCUR)
During an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, former CIA officer John Kiriakou described convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as a “textbook example of an access agent.”
“The issue,” Kiriakou added, “is that the accusation is he was an access agent for the Israelis, and that’s something the intelligence community really doesn’t like to talk about.”

in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Farm fact 1: the South makes biscuits because low-protein, high-starch wheats grow better here.
Bread & pasta need more protein (gluten) to get their shape. And high-protein wheat does NOT like it down here
Oblomov reshared this.
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Farm fact 2: plant breeders are working on it!
They're breeding wheats that are high in protein, AND can handle swampy weather.
Appalachian Hard White is a new variety that's getting there- it did really well when I grew this test batch back in '22/23. Bc we happened to have a hot dry spring that year.
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •THE easiest fruit tree in east NC is figs.
I know we all think fig = desert but turns out they also love swamp weather.
Hardy Chicago's worked out really well in Fayetteville, plus it tastes REAL GOOD. (There are other good varieties for here, that's just the one I know best.)
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Another A+ fruit for very part-time growers: ground cherries.
These little guys are like sweet pineapple-y tomatoes.
Since they come in their own biodegradable packaging, you can put them in a bowl on the table & they'll stay fresh for a WEEK
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Something you would THINK would be good to grow in the South: water buffalo. They're from hot, steamy places. So they should love it here, right?
Yeah turns out not so much. They get overheated pretty easily. That's why they're always hanging out in the water 🥲
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •(Yes they can live in the South just fine. As long as they've got a swimming hole or sprinklers to cool off in.)
(relatable)
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •A crop that hasn't really made it to the South, even though it loves it [the weather] hot & sloppy: taro.
We grow it as an ornamental instead. You might know it as elephant ears?
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •The roots are a staple starch that makes good chips, iced teas, ice cream, & baked goods.
And taro leaves make good pot greens in the summer, when collards are on hiatus.
Taro ought to get along just fine in the US South in my humble opinion
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Kudzu isn't THAT extreme of an invasive plant.
It doesn't "swallow forest," it just likes to grow along roadsides. Kudzu doesn't compete with live forest well at all.
smithsonianmag.com/science-nat…
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •"Kudzu's taking over everything!" is a sure sign of someone who's mostly taking in the landscape by car. : /
It's kinda like riding a train through a state & concluding that the entire state is poverty stricken. Nope...that's just the block or two next to railroad tracks.
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Couple more farm facts!
ICE has been doing a lot of raids in Oxnard, Camarillo, & the general Ventura Co area in CA.
Not clear why they're focusing on this area, but Ventura Co is the first ring of farmland on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Maybe just conveniently located.
nbclosangeles.com/news/local/f…
Federal agents conducting apparent immigration enforcement operations near Camarillo
Helen Jeong, Jonathan Lloyd (NBC Southern California)Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •Ventura Co is one of the US's biggest farm producers, cranking out 1.5B worth of fruits & nuts alone in 2022.
Over 1/5 of the US's strawberry acreage, and 1/3 of all US acreage of lemons & avocados, are in Ventura Co.
Sarah Taber
in reply to Sarah Taber • • •And a little at odds with the "California agribusiness giant" image, nearly 3/4 of the farms in Ventura Co are under 50 acres.
One-fifth of the farmers- not farm workers, FARMERS- in Ventura Co are Latino.
