Is the USDA for real that food is only safe in an unopened fridge for four hours without power? I guess I don't have a lot in there, but still: boooooo.

My SiL refers to babies that are 1-3 months old as "nuggets."

I don't know; I think some things are going to be fine, like pickles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Liard is Patois for liar. Then end of my post was intended to indicate that everyone thinks I'm straight (which, well, accurate, so there's that), but my sister gets a fair amount of gay attention, even when she insists she's not of said orientation.

I would think most things would be okay for longer than that Jesse. I'd worry most about mayo, meat and some kinds dairy.

Yeah, good call, right? Things that are already preserved should be OK.

Raw meat is about the only thing I'd have any concerns about. And probably not much if it was only that long.

Yeah, I'd throw out any meat, milk, and yogurt after that point, but vegetable matter and cheese should be fine. And freezer stuff that hasn't fully thawed should be fine to put in a working fridge and cook the same day.

Yogurt, seriously?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've drunken milk that's been in a non-working fridge for more than 24 hours. With milk you can tell by taste if it's gone bad and by smell if it's more than moderately bad.

I'd be curious to hear from various Buffista experts how reasonable this armor is.
In as much as some of that doesn't even look like armor, but more like heavy cloth--which will work beautifully against some weapons--most of the armor armor looks pretty good. One point, though, is that defined breasts in armor is a bad idea. A bulge to accommodate the extra flesh is much more advisable. You really don't want to take a sideways blow from weapon across pointy bits.
If you're really interested, you can probably Google SCA lady/women fighters to find discussion about female armor. It was a big debate back in the early days, when the women said, "Like hell are only guys going out on the field!" and the men said "But there's no real historical precedent for heavy duty female armor!"
