@Gallifreyan Cool! Maybe I'll write the question now, and post it later. (But I'll probably need to edit it substantially if/when I find stronger connections between parts of the series)
@Gallifreyan Nice. I wonder if Dream is wearing flowers because Delirium sees him as flowery, or because he actually changed in the presence of Delirium.

Q: Need interpretation for the qoute "vamos the ranch" by Twain

Batuhan TasCan somebody please help me interpret this sentence from "Double Barrelled Detective Story" by Mark Twain: "If I was running this shop I'd make him say something, some time or other, or vamos the ranch." Spanish 'Vamos' means 'let's go' as far as I know. However I couldn't quite get what ...

This is annoying...
My family has a loquat tree in the backyard, and the fruits are ripe now.
And now I want to eat one.
But I can't, because last time I had one I had an allergic reaction :(
 
4:04 PM
@Mithrandir How severe, and if it's not too severe, are you sure it was from that fruit? If you're not sure it's from the fruit, that's good news, because then you can eat another one to test. If it was from the fruit, that's good news too, because you've identified what you're allergic to, and can tell doctors, that will help a lot to avoid other allergy problems. I can never figure out where my allergies come from.
 
@b_jonas I broke out in hives.
The doctor said it was the שסק :(
 
@Mithrandir Is that an allergy that correlates highly with allergy to other foodstuff, so you know what else to avoid?
 
@b_jonas I'm not sure; I'm supposed to visit the allergist at some point and we'll figure it out then.
Anyway, I'm off now - adieu!
 
@Mithrandir An allergist? I thought we call them an allergologist because doctors like fancy long titles, but ok.
Somehow I'm getting a lot of announcer badges on Sci Fi these days.
I wonder if it's a bug in SE software.

Q: Could /help/on-topic be filled in?

CarpetsmokerI am new to this site and wanted to check what's considered on-topic. So I went to the /help/on-topic page and found it's just the boilerplate text with no real information. As mentioned I'm not familiar with the site, so I can't propose a text, but could this be filled in? Answers could be use...

Q: What was Max Beerbohm's literary relationship to Dostoevsky?

Andrew CheongI'm currently reading Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson. When the Duke suddenly pours out his soul to Zuleika, his regrets and love so exaggerated that readers can't help but cringe and laugh, I thought it absolutely had to be a throwback to Dostoevsky and his (socially) ridiculous characters in Not...

A: Could /help/on-topic be filled in?

HamletI certainly appreciate it when people want to know what's on-topic before they ask. Thank you. That said, we're still trying to determine through trial and error as a community what is and isn't on-topic. So I personally don't think we have enough information at the moment to come up with any c...

 
You may find RPG.SE's help/on-topic page a useful reference.
