    Don't be silly, it's not D&D, it's Feast of Legends, the Wendy's RPG.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    There's a combo Long John Silver's and A&W near me. I'm not big on LJS, but the A&W shares friers and oil with them so their fries wind up with a hint of the fish/chicken batter flavor and are an amazing accompaniment to a bacon cheeseburger and root beer float.

    We used to have two of those but they both closed.

    I mourn their loss.

    There used to be a ton of Yum-brand combo restaurants in my area, KFC/Taco Bell, KFC/A&W, and KFC/Long John Silver. Only one left is a KFC/A&W and they've been scaling back the A&W menu for a long time, I imagine it probably has to with A&W and LJS not being owned by Yum anymore. They were all great, though, sharing fryers and cooking surfaces made for some delicious cross contamination, their food was just different enough to stand out from either single brand.

    Edit: Google tells me Wing Street is a separate chain from Pizza Hut? I've never actually seen one without the other.

    According to wikipedia there's only ever been one Wing Street that wasn't connected to a Pizza Hut and it bombed badly and was closed down. All other Wing Streets are connected to Pizza Huts.

    It really is surprisingly good. I absolutely love how they worked snarking on other fast food into the actual game mechanics. Like if your character eats a sub sandwich, they have -2 on strength rolls for the day

    Ars says it's somewhere between 4th and 5th edition rulesets, which doesn't really narrow it down. There's no character building; the classes come preloaded with abilities and powers.

    https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/10/first-tool-use-pigs-visayan-endangered/
    Pigs recorded using tools for the first time
    One of the Visayan warty pigs—a critically endangered species native to the Philippines—picked up a piece of bark in its mouth and started digging with it, pushing the soil around. “I said, Whoa, that’s pretty cool,” says Root-Bernstein, a visiting researcher at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris and a National Geographic Explorer. “When I looked up tool use in pigs, there was nothing.”

    Intrigued, the scientist returned to the menagerie at the Jardin des Plantes frequently over the following months to try to observe the behavior again, to no avail. She hypothesized that what she’d seen was related to nest-building, which Visayans generally do every six months to prepare for the arrival of piglets. Sure enough, the next spring, a colleague returned to the warty pig enclosure and recorded three of the four animals using tools to complete their nest, an earthen pit filled with leaves. (Learn more about the Visayan and its rockstar mohawk.)
    It’s very possible that wild Visayans use tools, too, she adds. Fernando “Dino” Gutierrez, president of the Philippine conservation nonprofit Talarak Foundation, Inc., which works to protect warty pigs, agrees.

    A few years ago, Gutierrez witnessed a group of wild Visayans pushing rocks toward an electric fence to test it. “As soon as they push and the rocks make contact, they would wait for the clicking sound or absence thereof,” he said by email. “Clicking means the wires are hot, and they will back off and not cross; no sounds mean it is safe to investigate what’s beyond the wire.”
    Well, we should be fine as long as they don't learn how to use AK-47s and maybe gather in a group of 30-50.

    As much as I love meat, the more we learn how intelligent many of our food animals are the more difficult it is to not feel hypocritical. I am fortunate to have the means to go vegetarian if I wanted but damn so bacon cheeseburgers taste amazing. I am trying to eat less meat though, especially pig and cow.

    Same, though I was bad at the grocery store today and picked up 1/2lb of Columbus Roast Pork and some fresh muenster for sandwiches to take to work this week. I'd been focusing on finding local cage-free poultry that isn't too outrageously expensive for my carnivorous needs.

    Honestly I don't find it that arbitrary. Humans often think of intelligence as our "special thing", and to eat something that shares our special thing is kind of like eating us. Since we have a strong taboo against cannibalism it we don't like to think that we're eating something similar to us.

    A male cat has been left needing a glucose drip after it mated with at least five females in one night when he was let out of his cage by pet hotel staff.

    Xiaopi, a Russian Blue, was left at the pet hotel by his owners, Mr and Mrs Zhao, in Guangdong Province in South China.

    Mr Zhao said he had specifically told the business that Xiaopi had not been neutered.

    "I thought they'd be professional, but the staff member didn't feed Xiaopi during the day and let him out to roam freely at night," the cat owner posted on social media.

    "That's right, all the cats were free to walk around the shop and then the employee went home.

    "Between around 10.40pm and 5am, my cat mated with five female cats. And those are only the ones I could see in the CCTV footage."

    The rabbits were wimpy non-fighters as opposed to the poshboy hares, so they weren't given much focus

    Also yes, I've eaten rabbit and squirrel and hedgehog (flavoured crisps, which I suspect are a novelty and contain no hedgehog)
