        Saaaame.

        Also, trebuchets, siege weapons, how to build, how long fire can last on something flying through the air, what to use to make fire on what things to fling, etc.

        Probably not worrisome to governments but perhaps to my HOA is the aerodynamics of cows.

          Comparisons between plastic explosives and commercial explosives/high-speed explosives and lower-speed explosives.

          Which does more damage to structures, which is more likely to work as an IED, which is more likely to do more as an improvised claymore… yeeeeeah.

          Formerly known as Seraphim73 (he/him)

                  We need some good crossover with 1930s pulp novels so my obscure and otherwise useless knowledge of mummy tattoos can come into play at exactly the right moment.

                    I’ve googled much worse things as a librarian than for RP. I did once research medieval instruments for a ridiculous scene with @helvetica involving a sackbut and a lot of miming.

                    as previously stated, good day.

                                The most specific thing I’ve researched for RP was “the application process for a library card in the Grand County Library District in Colorado and the necessary forms of identification.”

                                  Double post to add that I was aware at this point that @Tat is a librarian and I was worried I’d get it wrong and look like a fool in front of her.

                                  There is a reason a lot of my poses at that time were rolls Library Science, “Jonathan does library stuff.”

                                    Spirit Lake was non-stop Googling small town infrastructure and businesses in Grand Lake, CO. I sometimes wonder if any tech people in that little town were ever like ‘Where the hell are these website hits coming from and why do they care about the high school marching band?’

                                    I want something else to get me through this
                                    Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
                                    I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                                        Yearly corn crop rotations and how that affects the surrounding wildlife during colder winter months.

                                        Also, and anyone who knew me on the my turn while playing Magnus on Arx, I got really into being as oddly specific about wild animal herd cultivation, harvesting, and protections as it relates to mammoths.

                                        Some of my fellow players, oddly, thought this was weird sticking point to me, to which I would reply, “THEY ARE CULTUALLY SIGNIFIGANT.”

                                            Me. You mean me, with the number of times I went “Angel, if you want to bother staff about things that might help get the House more active, ask about plot. Please don’t send Apostate another 14 pages on the meticulous management of shaggy elephant herds to approve. He does not care.”
