  • This stay, IMO, the big question mark. At which point does maintaining an aged machine is more expensive than building new one. Especially when 20 years are needed to build a new one (including 10 years of legal paperwork, trials and appeals)

  • Have you seen these people with a weird tripod on construction sites ? They're surveyor and have tools allowing them to do very precise measure (A guy told me that one of the coolest things he has done was to make sure railway track were aligned below 1mm on both side of 2 km bridge to build) I would expect that drawing a circle isn't that complicated.

    Then the rest is usual road construction, add temporary marking, close the road, do the measurement and build the roundabout

  • The anomaly isn't that the plane was struck by lightning, it's that it loose all control surfaces.

    Thunderstorm can cause huge up/down draft + haze and therefore aren't recommended even for airliner (which typically would need inspection after being stuck inside) but shit happens

  • Peer review...

    Too many cooking sites are let's exchange your recipe and end up with either stuff missing or absurdly high amount of sugar (as a rule of thumb divide by 2 the amount of sugar) or a lack of salt/spice even when they're notsimply forgotten.

    Published books tends to be a bit better as in principle they're revised.

    Peer review is how scientists correct that. Often it's as simple as on figure 2, the labels are too small and sometimes it's I don't get how you've built your experimental setup can you clarify this section? It's rarely catching biq mystake but really improves overall quality

  • I think you're under estimated how much fossil fuel are used and the electricity production from solar and wind farm.

    It's definitely possible to replace all fossil fuel by electricity, but it's a massive shift involving multiple nuclear power plants (or the green equivalent which is even more expensive/complicated) , not a few windfarm and solar panel over the parking lot. And today there is no political will to do such massive investment, let alone the NIMBY

  • It's not about who has to change their character concept. But about building a party which can work together.A session zero and common character creation is universal seen as a good practice

    I've seen campaigns where players had to actively avoid PvP due to big difference in goal/loyalties/alignment. Let's avoid the my family hates your familytrope.

    Then, indeed, not doubling the skills or have skills not matching the campaign. You don't want to have 5 pilots for one space ship. Especially if it means you don't have a social character.

    There is more character I'd like to play than games where I could play them, so not that much of a problem anyway

  • The problem is that while combat focused PC have armour, high initiative, multiple attack per round, and don't fail their roll. You're like acting at the end of the round, once when other PC do it 3 times, fail your attack and as soon as you get hit you're unconscious. The cool part of putting the big combat at the end of the session is that you can take a nap, and have the GM waking you up at 5 combat is over, let's give the XP and the first train homes leaves in 30 minutes

  • Missing

    • The didn't listen when the GM talked about Theme and mood and end up with a character who doesn't fit with the party/canpaign
    • The traitor, you know the Scorpion/Tremere who will betray the party at every possible occasion and stab any PC showing their back

    -The hero, who feel like their main character

    • The anti hero, in general their player use all the possible flaws (and therefore built a strong character) A one eyed, alcoholic single parent with a deadly enemy, but they can shoot a coin at 1000m, so feels like they'll have again to do the job rather than staying home.

    And many more

  • And then there is band like Dream theatre or the the deer hunter who use complex chords and harmonies

    Actually, I think that the answer of OP question is that Metal is an incredibly large genre wich can blend with every possible genre, here is a metal band playing Take five

  • While killing PC for the sake of killing them is, usually, abad practice. PC need to feel the risk of dying when doing dangerous stuff. It changes the way you play, if you know that a knife can kill you. Sure your skill mean you'll most likely win the fight or one shot that kid before they move, but if they pull a knife it's not just 1d4 over your 100 HP but a potential injury or death if you don't use your skills

  • Sounds like pretty reasonable.

    Actually I am surprised that there is (still) game not turning enemy unconscious upon "critical hit" or "high damage", it's both a way to make combat more dangerous and have a safety breaker to not kill a PC

  • There is more planes undersea than submarine in the air.

    Technically speaking, the physics of control surface is the same underwater, so it should work not that bad, just replace the reactor by a ship prop and let's sea

  • Unfortunately, in this economy, young graduate needing one year to find a job isn't uncommon.

    As usual,

    • how easily can you move, it's easier as a 20 year old kid than as a middle aged parent with an employed spouse in a niche sector
    • Lookat various temporar/consulting agencies. It pays badly, isn't a permanent position but any experience is better than no experience

    -what about further training? A non professional bachelor, is usually too theoretical for employer, and when they want theoretical profile they are people with master degree

    -What about government job, may be not a dream job, but with just a bachelor you're eligible to middle management position, not fun to manage a team of civil servant in charges of dealing with whatever paperwork, but again, it's a job.

    • don't forget to join an union supporting the Universal basic income and affordable housing so you can do something to improve our situation
  • D&D comes from chain mail, a heroic fantasy miniature battle game inspired by naval miniature battle game. Hence the concept of character class (instead of boat class) and armour class (where the lower the better). But based on that, slowly the idea of playing a single character appeared and it turned into D&D and then early RPG

    Modern RPG got (Somehow) rid of character class (even though some archetype/Playbooks are classes witha different name) and armour place. But D&D kept it by traditipn
