My wife had a doctor literally walk out of the room when she mentioned in addition to the abdominal pain she was having post-c-section she also had had a period non stop for 3 months straight. Y'know because she mentioned her period
I did a one-shot once with a Bethesda start (locked in a prison with a bunch of stranger) pickpocketed the keys off the guard, got caught, convinced the guard to gift me the keys, then when the guard saw me giving the keys to another player I convinced the guard I was just passing on the kindness. I then snuck into the office of the warden (boss) stole some magical items (including an immovable rod). Later after the inevitable fight where the other players who actually had the stats to fight wasted a few guards, I did successfully convince a couple of guards to just go home for the day before I snuck out.
Later attempting to escape through the city, we're stopped by some guards who'd heard about the prison escape and see a rag-tag group covered in blood and in a hurry so they assume we're the escaped prisoners. I told them we were midwives leaving a very messy birth and heading to another emergency (advantage on that roll was all that caused it to land) then ultimately met up with the warden at the town gate who I simply trapped with my immovable rod
Like utterly evil but I will go to the ends of the earth to ensure a child has a teddy bear.
Shit that gives me a great campaign idea whenever I get to DM again. Starts out as a silly fetch quest, important protagonist wants you to go get his kid"s teddy bear that was left in the market, then it turns into an epic power struggle as you learn that multiple factions are fighting over ownership of this powerful talisman then after all is said and done it turns out to just be a teddy bear that multiple factions have faught wars over and in the end you bring it back to the kid
Oh I saw something where they demonstrated there's zero security to BIMI, so it's just a B2B scam to invent a new thing to charge their business customers for. I'll see if I can find it
And for unidirectional we're rapidly approaching 1.2Tb at the top end. 400Gb and 800Gb are becoming pretty standard in the datacenter world. Fiber is wild!
Honestly I just want some ideas for mixing up my style. I'm jealous of my wife and daughter for all of the fun dresses and jewelry and whatnot they can do but masculine outfits don't really allow for many options
My theory was that they make licensing intentionally obtuse to make more from both companies buying more licenses than they need to protect themselves during audits and from companies failing to understand correct licensing and getting caught in an audit
Actually they're right that the clothing and diapers aren't that expensive. I saw my costs increase by about $100 per month when I added a new child to the family. Diapers are like $20ish bucks a month, and baby clothes outlast their wearers so you can find them for less than a dollar per garment at garage sales and thrift stores, often still with the tags on them. Or free if you have friends/family with slightly older kids who can pass you what they've outgrown. When my kids were babies the biggest expense was formula, but that was because my wife couldn't produce milk and they both were very sensitive and needed specific formula that didn't upset their stomachs (I also happened to have both kids right when formula shortages were beginning which was extra fun)
The real expenses are childcare and healthcare of course. Both children cost the entire out of pocket maximum from our insurance (5 and 8 thousand dollars specifically) and we haven't even tried looking at childcare costs and have my wife out of work instead
As a parent with a 5 year old, Minecraft has been very educational for her. She's learned some brilliant spelling and keyboard skills, building hand-eye coordination, etc. plus Minecraft can be limited to just single player or private servers (I have a private server setup just for my family for example) so they won't be interacting with inappropriate content or unvetted individuals
I'm much less happy about Fortnite for example, since that has random voice chat, is always online and forced Windows-only via anti-cheat
I think the not knowing how to parent part was a joke. Parenting is always figuring out how to navigate whatever new problem your kids are having, and if your kids are playing Minecraft together they definitely have an parenting experience mediating in-game disputes
I have a relative who developed a deadly allergy to dill suddenly, as in her throat starts closing if she's in the same room as a pickle deadly. She has a lot of difficulty contacting companies to find out if dill is one of the "natural flavors" in their products, because many will simply stonewall any attempts to learn if she can safely consume their product
Nah then I'm bored at work, and I hate being bored at work. 70% is the happy medium between not overextending myself and keeping myself busy and engaged enough to both enjoy my work and impress my superiors
My tactic is to maintain an average workload of about 70% of my potential, that way I'm relaxed and able to maintain my work on the bad days when I might not be 100% up to the task, plus I have the extra bandwidth for when SHTF so I can look like a hero. Apparently my 70% effort is more than enough because I've now had multiple bosses try to court me to return after I've left roles
