When technology was too hard for the tech-illiterate to use, your grandma wasn't sharing stories about Haitians eating cats and dogs, and your deadbeat cousin didn't waste his life savings on Trump's cryptocurrency

Guess I'm getting nerd sniped. In the bottom right corner, we see

Where the question marks are squares we don't know the status of, and the boots are where his feet are.

I actually don't think this board can be solved. If we format it like this

We can see that 2nd square in the middle column must be mined, and that clears all three question marks in the 4th column. But one of the bottom two squares in the fourth column must be mined.

I suppose if the board extends farther under the grass than we can see, then it would look like this

and would be solvable. Now I'm worried about the mines that are under the grass. Do we even know how far the minefield goes? I hope he was really careful to mark where he walked so he has a safe path out

I'm doing a thousand calculations per second, and they're all wrong!

Try thinking for a second.

Places where trees don't grow are probably not the best places for carbon sequestration if you can't sequester carbon there cheaper or easier than sequestering carbon in trees elsewhere

Because if it isn't cheaper than simply growing trees, the money would be better spent simply growing trees

Jerboa. It's not the most functional but it reminds me of RIF the most.

I switch to Sync any time I need to use the search function

"There's no point living, so you may as well die" is so last decade. "There's no point dying, so you may as well live" is where it's at

Yes, the most that carbon capture can do is temporarily slow down climate change. It turns out the only way you can stop getting carbon from outside the carbon cycle into the carbon cycle is to stop taking carbon from outside the carbon cycle and putting it into the carbon cycle.

But the problem with oil is that it's really good, and it does a lot of stuff really well

If you can find a more efficient, less expensive way to physically sequester carbon from the atmosphere than letting forests grow, I'm sure there's a lot of awards you could win

A dragon has been attacking trains going into and out of a mining city. The party has been hired to deal with it. They planned on taking an empty train out of the city, hoping to lure the dragon into a fight. I was thinking it would be cool, an epic dragon fight on a train. "Hey, this is a mining town. They have explosives right? Can we borrow some?" Roll for persuasion. DC20 persuasion check, passed.

I don't have the math on me anymore, but I spent a couple minutes working out how much damage the dragon would take based on how much blasting powder they had, and how close the dragon was before it ignited it, and it was just enough damage to bring the dragon down to like 20 HP

I realized later on that I forgot to convert pounds to kilograms, so it should have still had closer to half its health, but whatever. The idea of a dragon basically killing itself by accidentally blowing up a train car full of blasting powder is sick as hell

It depends on where you live. Some regions have a limited list of acceptable names, some places just have limited lists of unacceptable names, but I can't find anywhere that explicitly bans Null.

It does suck to be named Null, though. It's like two steps down from not being given a social security number as an infant

The Perfect Suicide

Backpack full of C4 blows up while skydiving over the ocean? Nice

Also why he couldn't kill Columbo

Yeah but I'm also pretty sure Gandalf was down with killing Sauron

RIP DJ Vance, poor innocent bystander got got for no reason

I think it would be a pretty strong message if Trump's plane crashed as a direct result of his attacks on DEI stuff

I wonder how many names you have to write before you're at the top of the psychopathic killer list

Watch Death Note, and do whatever the main character doesn't because I'm pretty sure he gets caught

The fact that he even tried it should be grounds for removal from office. He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and he has blatantly and openly violated it
