No, the farmers design bridges and dams.
The engineers work in hospitals.
The doctors we shoot for being nerds.
Perfect society.
Edit: we also kill all the sparrows for some reason.

Growing up, we had a game called "fight the tide" where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.

Ebb is the state of the tide going out, Flow is coming in.
Intertidal is an interesting thought, but isn't it already taken by the area that is covered by high tide and exposed at low.

I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.

Isn't that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)

Never liked the way half-tide sounded, I think I'm liking Mean-Tide, or Median-Tide if I'm feeling fancy.

Mean Tide?

I think you're right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it's usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don't know which way it's going.

I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I'm never quite sure what to say when it's in the middle.

As good a selection as any
Half-tide doesn't sound right to me, slack-tide is something else entirely, my google-fu has failed me.

For the Rèmy, Jaime hard at work.
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while. Just some nip, a new box and a sunbeam.
Recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe . It cooks a bit like a Dutch baby, but you have to soak the flour longer and it doesn't puff up. Left is with onions and herb de province, right is artichokes and dill, both were tasty.
Please excuse it's dirty, dull, and scratched state. It doesn't look like much, but the unique opening motion where you [push and pull the right scale ](https://imgur.com/a/v0cgkgN)will stump your friends. Not pocket EDC for me, it's really heavy, and the jimping is too sharp. Also, I hated the pocket clip, it rides too high for my taste, cut up my jeans, and the opening got caught on everything I walked near. It makes a great car knife though. Easy to open with gloves on, big enough to be easy to find in the cup holder, and great to fidget with.
Both directly under the ceiling fan though.
(optional)Toss tofu cubes in corn starch and spices, fry, set aside. In a large pan, Stir fry vegetables (carrots, onions, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, zucchini, chili to taste,) and some green (or red or something else, I'm not the boss of you) curry paste until they get a little wok hay. Add some water and soy sauce to deglaze, then add one can of coconut milk, one can of pumpkin puree, one glob of creamy peanut butter and some more curry paste, simmer until vegetables are almost done. Add tofu cubes (pro-tip put the block of tofu on a cutting board in the sink, put another cutting board on top, then put a couple of cans on top of that. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.) and simmer to warm through. Serve over rice. En guete!

So I recently started re-watching Babylon5 while listening to a couple of podcasts "Babylon 5 for the first time" and "Grey 17." Some of the hosts seem to be big fans of Mass Effect and see lots of similarities and parallels between the two series, which piqued my interest. The last time I seriously gamed was Diablo 2, Sid Meier's Pirates, Quake era, figure 20 some-odd years ago. My assets are, a halfway decent laptop, a bunch of desktops of varying levels with nice monitors but nothing special for the graphics cards, and a willingness to spend a few bucks for a good experience. How fancy of a computer do I need? I'd prefer not to get a console, but if that would be better I'm open to it. Will I be able to play with keyboard and mouse, or do I need a joystick or gamepad or something? What is the best way to obtain a copy? Steam? Ebay? I'd prefer to not be spoiled too much, but is there anything I should know before I start? Thanks!
