But the benefits would not be equal.

Hyperion Cantos, and Children of Time. I know you didn't ask for recommendations, but I must give them!

You read faster with eReaders too. The act of turning pages with a paper book becomes a ritual that consumes more time than it needs to, and over thousands of pages that ritual definitely adds up.

"Hey Socrates, do you want this clay tablet, or an electronic tablet with every book that ever existed on it?"

And works in bed without a reading lamp. Plus you can just pass out with it in your hand without losing your place in the book.

Yeah, I was just looking for something to watch and like 90% of everything that exists is about cops, crime, or both. Why!

Ah, a dying world. Perfect.

There are abilities and gear that lower your crit requirement, but usually only by 1, so 5% higher chance of crit. I agree that your crit chance should go up as you get better, but only in relation to the skill of your opponent. Like I'm sure Bruce Lee could punch me exactly where he wants to 100% of the time, but not so much against Donny Yen. The pathfinder system sounds smart.

It's definitely possible for people who have mastered things to critically fail. How many times have you drunk water in your life? Millions of times? But every rare once in a while you mess it up so bad that you put water into your windpipe. That's a critical failure. But the chances of it happening when you've mastered something should certainly be far lower than 5%.

Don't mock this war, it's the only one we have.

Szass Tam was a fine upstanding citizen.

Arch is awesome. I use Arch on my laptop. I've been thinking about changing my Pop desktop to Arch, but the GFX driver management for Pop is super convenient and I have steam all set up exactly as I want it. I don't really want to go through all the set-up again.

Code comments are useful for browsing a script and understanding it at a glance. I shouldn't have to scroll up and down across 700 lines of code to figure out what's happening. It's especially useful with intellisense, since I can just hover over a function and get a tooltip showing the comment, explaining what it does. It also helps when using functions imported from other files, since it'll populate the comment showing me what parameters are needed and what each should be. Comments save time, and time is valuable.

My friend in Los Angeles has a rent controlled apartment. He's paying $1,100 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment in West Hollywood. Meanwhile my landlord has raised my rent 22% in the last two years.

Well you as a DM set the DC. If it makes sense to work then set it to 3 or something, or just make it free. But setting it to succeed on anything except for critical failure makes sense, since anyone can flub their grand moment.

When Jim Morrison wrote People Are Strange, he actually meant People Are Stupid.

There's nothing trivial about bar room disagreements. People die over those. That professor just saved someone's life.

I love gnome!

Touché!

It's a bit extreme to say Ubuntu sucks ass. Ubuntu brought Linux to the masses.

It's definitely a LinkedIn bug, and not a Firefox bug. It's amazing how little these enormous internet companies care about the quality of their websites.
