This might need some tweaking:

* If you succeed and you have more matching pairs of dice than the opposing roll, extraordinary success / "Yes, and"

* If you succeed and the opposing roll has more matching pairs of dice than yours, marginal success / "Yes, but"

* If you succeed and neither of the above two things are true, usual success / "Yes".

It works the same way if you fail, with "No, but", "No, and", and "No".

The Carrington Skatepark has some of that sort of stuff, at 14th St and 140th Ave NW.

Park in front of a gym, try asking the biggest guys before they go in.

Technically an 'infusion' is for alcohol-soluble molecules, and 'fat-washing' is for fat-soluble molecules. Practically they're very similar. I cooked the bacon first and that seems to be the usual process.

It was rendered bacon fat from a pound that I had fried up.

Very interesting version of orgeat; I'm almost certainly too lazy to do all this, but I'll keep it somewhere in the back of my mind. Thanks for sharing!

Costco has some pretty good discounts on legit protein powders, sometimes.

Very good write-up -- thanks for sharing it! Reality TV is such a rich vein.

Coincidentally, someone(s) shot at Drake's house and hit one of his security guards. That's some spicy beef.

I've always believed it's a reference to Wilhelm Reich's cloudbuster device, although I don't really have any grounds for this belief.

I'd stick with it for at least a week or two, to give it enough time to get itself together. There's always enough time later to start over.

Here's the full orgeat recipe that I use:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup almond milk

scant 1/8-th tsp each of orange water and rose water

Adjust sugar amount for your personal preferred sweetness

It's easy to overdo the flower-water so try to be careful.

Store in fridge.

Wonderful drink, love it to bits.

Homemade orgeat involving almond milk and sugar is quite easy and entirely serviceable.

I also like it with a gin/tequila split base, but that might just be me.

That giant slip-and-slide thing they had going turned out to make a lot of people really angry, I seem to recall. But that's about the only thing I remember about it.

This isn't a completely-baked idea, but maybe you could do something with it:

​

Whenever one of the Chosen pushes a Charm, Fast Talk, or Persuade roll, they use Intimidate instead. It's not a conscious decision on their part, and even the target might not immediately realize that the feel threatened on some level. When the Agent realizes this is happening, it's probably a SAN check. Their words and actions have taken on a constant undercurrent of implied violence.

​

Possibly this could advance as far as replacing all those rolls with Intimidate all the time, but that seems a bit extreme, even for this investigation.
