He got killed by the secret service during his attempt, I'm not sure they were later able to assess motive and stuff

At first I thought this was a Tim Apple joke but that's his actual name lol

(FYI I didn't make this and I believe it's fake but honestly it's hard to tell)

I also didn't downvote, but maybe you would want to convey the information to your players that creatures here can use that spell without outright killing a PC in the first battle? Like "you guys should really watch your health points in this area" type of thing

The goal of 3rd party apps is to do what's best for the user so they continue to use their app

The goal of Reddit's official app is to do what's best for Reddit

It's possible to expand on the functionality but that's the fundamental misalignment on priorities regarding users

In Canada, you legally pick up to 2 of your parents' last names for your last name

Well, organometallic molecules are famously way more dangerous to us (e.g. mercury vs dimethylmercury), so it's not really controversial to say that pumping tons of tetraethyl lead directly into the air people breathe may have been worse than whatever can leach out of lead pipes or dishware.

Now that leaded gasoline is mostly phased out (except for avgas), I imagine the prevalence of lead poisoning will settle closer to what it may have been a millennia ago

Superuser do? How about soviet worker do?!

I think the song is cool, the theatrics are fun, although in case it's not obvious to everyone, the person isn't actually playing the song, and even the guitar hero-type scroll doesn't look like it matches the song. Doesn't make it less fun though haha

As a parent who doesn't try to convince childless people to have children... fair point.

In an unarmored context, which applied very often throughout history, the spear is easier to use and especially lighter, which makes it a better and more nimble weapon. Spears can also be much longer than heavier pole arms whilst remaining usable, keeping the danger further away from the user

The speed at which one can move a spear tip is impressive and getting stabbed by it has large stopping power. The spear can also parry attacks in a large sweeping area, which makes it hard for anything else than another spear to get through

The more complex pole weapons start to shine in an armored context, where stabbing someone at the end of your long pointy stick becomes harder. Then, the hook-y, chop-y and spike-y bits of the halberd can really help tackle the armor

I'm not sure if my comment is whoosh, but just in case; it's the transliteration of the letters in the picture if you read them as cyrillic letters, highlighting that they should be understood as faux-cyrillic instead

Exactly

I think this (admittedly long) video is a good summary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrtN2LlgSI

I'm sorry but you can totally control the margin size in LaTeX if you learn the right incantation

then you spread the entrails slightly and stab towards the sky. Really don't see what the big fuss is all about.

I took "rather than the other way around" to mean "rather than negatively-correlated" in this context, since positively was emphasized

It sounds to me like people who grew up in one part of this graph need help from people who grew up in another part of this graph? I wonder which is which

We had to replace the entire screen assembly for that at the time but I'm sure it's possible to do something less drastic if you are just working on your own machine
