  • They're connected by a counter so it's an easy slide.

  • Could you elaborate a little on the design issues?

    From Wikipedia it looks like you roll 3d20 looking for at least two successes, where the TN is a character attribute.

    I find success counting mechanics are much lower cognitive load at the table than adding up mechanics, plus there's a sensible limit to the number of dice and players will always have the target number written on their character sheet.

    Plus that gives you a fairly clear 4 levels of success which is always easy to interpret as crit/pass/fail/crit fail.

    I personally don't like using D20s but that core mechanic seems fairly smooth and elegant to me. Where does the physics degree part come in? Too many overly complex subsystems? Weird character creation?

  • I would love it for boiling pasta and then draining the water.

  • I vaguely remember hearing that you can know whether someone was born before or after a specific year, depending on whether they use by or on accident.

  • Unlike in history, we don’t really lose information anymore

    I wonder if this thought was also articulated by librarians at Alexandria.

  • previous work for Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis.

    This lawyer clearly has a sixth sense for detecting failures. Probably a good sign that he accepted a position with Trump's RNC.

  • It's very naive to think that a weapons dealer who also kills it's commercial airline passengers for profit isn't also killing whistleblowers.

  • Google was accused of enacting a policy instructing employees to turn chat history off by default when discussing sensitive topics

    According to the DOJ, Google destroyed potentially hundreds of thousands of chat sessions not just during their investigation but also during litigation. Google only stopped the practice after the DOJ discovered the policy. DOJ's attorney Kenneth Dintzer told Mehta Friday that the DOJ believed the court should "conclude that communicating with history off shows anti-competitive intent to hide information because they knew they were violating antitrust law.

    It's perfectly reasonable to see this practice of avoiding the creation of evidence of their wrongdoing as evidence of wrongdoing, which is 100% what it is.

    It's not the same as a person using TOR, it's a company hiding evidence.

  • That code is to computer porn as the Hunt the Wumpus is to computer games.

  • Terrorist is a dumb word with no real meaning that's only used by imperialists.

  • I was so disgusted by this frankly piss-weak judgement that I tracked down the press release: https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/whd/whd20240502

    The media contacts are: carnevali.jose@dol.gov and petersen.michael.w@dol.gov

    I sent them the following email:

    I was absolutely disgusted to hear of the paltry fines issued to the network of poultry processors guilty of wage theft, falsifying records, obstructing the investigation and obvious child endangerment.

    How can you possibly allow these bad actors to remain in business and find new ways to profit from risking children's lives and safety?

    It's unconscionable that no jail time was mandated.

    If this counts as a win, it only goes to show that the DOL is toothless and incapable of protecting American workers from predatory employers.

  • If the kids parents' did the same thing they'd be in jail. Turns out abusive parents should just incorporate that way child endangerment laws no longer apply.

  • RFK tried to sue a user for defamation for pointing out that he went to a Nazi rally.

    He sued in new hampshire for scummy forum shopping reasons, despite absolutely no connection to NH. When it was thrown out on jurisdictional grounds, his lawyers wanted to appeal but didn't realize the midnight deadline was midnight NH time.

    Just top quality stuff.

  • Tell you what, that crack is really moreish!

    That episode, with Mark's friend who plays core englaise in the BNP band is one of my favorite episodes of television.

    For any other super hans fans, if you've not seen Withnail and I the drug dealer character in that was a major influence on hans.

  • The bad actors are in charge and their goal is genocide. It's just a bit naive to suggest they will 'go after' their own supporters carrying out their policy aims.

  • This is 100% true and it's so funny that I just want to cry in a corner.

  • Upholding the rule of law is more important than denying trump some hamburder money.

  • Yep, that's what I think is kind of disgusting logic, tbh.

    It's a fact of being human that its hard to throw your support behind a group that are massacering people you consider kin.

    The democrats made a choice to support an ongoing genocide and drive down turn out among their own base, despite the importance of this election to the future of our democracy. They and not voters deserve 100% of the blame for their own actions.

  • Thinking that living in Oregon will save you from Trump

    You misunderstood. Oregon is solid blue and will go for biden with or without my vote.
