I used Vortex in the past, and it was not a good experience for me. I'm assuming it's improved over the years; but it's basically a master installer for mods with a lot of bugs.

The biggest advantage of MO2 is being able to set up mod profiles that are separated from your game and each other. You can drop in/out mods for troubleshooting, adjust load orders, and toggle specific parts of a mod. For example, you can have an entirely vanilla version of Skyrim, and then launch a modded version through MO2. If something isn't working, you can toggle mods without messing up the load order or specific settings you've made. It also allows you to adjust the "overwrite" order of mods on the fly without losing the files from the original mod, which has been an absolute game changer for modding.

Install 50 mods at once and the game broke? You can temporarily disable half of them and check if the game still loads. It works now? Re-enable half of the ones you disabled and try again. Within a handful of launches, you can narrow down the issue to a specific mod. Was the issue a specific plugin that's supposed to make it compatible with another mod you don't have? You can disable that plugin and keep the whole mod.

Got everything working great, but now you want to make a new save with different mods, but want to be able to go back to that old save file? Make a new profile and load up whatever mods you want just for that save.

Really though, MO2 is awesome. It makes modding super easy, especially when you break Skyrim yet again.

This is why I allow players to swap skills/stats for checks, if it makes sense in the situation. In this case, they could replace the charisma stat with strength for the intimidation check.

Please drink verification can.

Let 'em cook!

I didn't say it was going to happen. I just said I like the idea of it.

I dunno. I kind of like the idea of shunning and ignoring him into obscurity.

My betrayal dice still fulfill a niche role: to roll for the fates of other players in my campaign, for when they can't roll.

That would be great! @Psythik got back to me pretty quick, so I'm going in the air tonight.

I know of a service that helps with this. I don't know how well it will apply directly to this scenario, but I've seen some small groups sign up for Sound Exchange as a non-intersctive music service.

This looks pretty fun. I used to dabble this shoutcast radio broadcasting for an old roleplaying server in San Andreas Multiplayer.

I've used b.u.t.t. for NeosVR shows, and it's really easy to use.

I'll have to sign up for some night time EDM slots. :)

Turns out the FAA is that corner

They're using a very dated design because the FAA moves extremely slowly. The size, weight, and wide-scale intended use of them puts the drones in an aircraft category that comes with a lot of paperwork and stipulations.

Most of those higher prices come from insurance companies only paying a percentage of what they are billed, and the cost of the staff involved with dealing with those companies.

Fermentation is a natural process, so there's no energy input to the process. As for output, you get almost the same energy density as standard diesel, and some excellent fertilizer. For a farming area, it's very self sustaining. Farmers bring their excess crop waste and manure, they get fuel and fertilizer in return. Also, the methane that off-gasses during fermentation is collected and burned to supplement the power grid.

Considering it's mostly being used in this application, it works very well. However, I can see it falling way behind if scaled for widespread use in industrial and non-argricultural uses, where dedicated crops would be grown and harvested. Regardless, it's a good way to cut down demand for standard fuel products for areas that can sustain a large biofuel digester.

The most common method of making biodiesel that I know of involves fermenting farming byproducts, namely corn stalks and manure. However, it still produces CO2 when it combusts.

The article doesn't go into much detail about the production or makeup of SAF, but it sounds like a form of biodiesel/biokerosene.

I certainly would. Going public is always the precursor to enshittification.

Every courthouse I've been to in my area will not allow cell phones inside. Must be a state-based or county-based thing.

They've maintained a very pro-consumer stance so far; so yes, I do believe them for the time being.
