Praying the burned import disc boots up, probably.

Having played all the editions in the comic, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 4e is unfairly maligned and I would rather play it over Advanced 2e or 3.5.

The powers system gets bloated fast, but offloading potentially broken support spells and powers into 10min to 1 hour rituals is genius. 4e has the only useful version of Pyrotechnics between the listed editions.

Short Rests being 5 min instead of 1 hour really feels like the pace of encounters keeps up without any awkward pauses, and means encounter powers are reliably up by the next fight.

The understanding that mechanical roles and flavor power sources could be swapped around and make a bunch of classes instead of trying to theme classes solely around fantasy archetypes let them have greater design freedom.

Short rests and powers attached to them, subclasses being a core part of the basic classes, ritual casting, at-will basic spells for casters, & proto-advantage in some class abilities are all extracted from 4e.

5e isn't bad - its arguably the best version of D&D. But I've seen a lot better fantasy systems than D&D, and some fantastic mechanics left on the cutting room floor between NEXT and 5e.

I'm going to push it a bunch. What happens if I hit that 1% more than once?

Or he could have some clause in the contract that prevents him from bypassing the publisher for profit, or maybe he just doesn't want the game to disappear and has a clause that lets him give away copies so he's free and clear. It isn't necessarily piracy. You asked how he could do this, I'm just spitballing possible answers.

Everything. The adaptations your body has learned to fight other diseases are stored as T-cells. When you need more of that particular kind of thing, your body goes and runs off copies. Measles kills your T-cells, so your body can't copy the old adaptations, only make blank-slate factory-new ones.

From the "make him regret being born" instructions, I'm guessing this is someone ordering for some fool who was either bragging about thier spice resistance or talking shit about Thai food not being spicy.

Absolutely wild movie with incredible animation. Story is okay and the ending is abrupt with no epilogue, but it's worth watching just for the animation and score, which is phenomenal. The opening sequence is one of the best matches of music to onscreen action I've ever seen.

The dub is pretty good too. There's a couple places where the sub sounds more appropriate and a couple places the dub has more impactful word choice, but you won't lose any of the experience by going dub over sub.

Pressure cooker is better than a cheap rice cooker, but a higher end rice cooker is about the same. You can do more stuff with the pressure cooker though.

I believe the article, in the very narrow thing it actually claims, which is that the starches that come off of rice in washing don't matter much in how sticky the rice is. That's mostly down to what kind of rice you're using. Short grain is stickier, longer grains are not.

I'm still 100% going to wash my rice because I don't want to deal with the cleanup on that extra starch, it gets everywhere. And while I haven't had bugs in my rice for a while, it happens sometimes.

It requires that you provide a lot of documentation to get something that qualifies as a RealID. Multiple documents showing your full name, birth date, SSN, and proof of address. And if you can't provide that paperwork, no ID for you, get fucked. Maybe that doesn't seem like much, you just need the RealID to fly on planes, right? But if you can't get an ID you can't get hired. You can't drive. You can't rent a place. You can't vote in a lot of places.

And then you get the ugly Catch 22 where you can't get a RealID because you're homeless and jobless, and you can't get a home or job because you don't have any ID.

My dad helped an old friend he knew who he found out hard been homeless for a while. And realized how you can be unpersoned. The old guy had no living family, no supporting documents to prove who he was and as such couldn't get an ID. Which meant he couldn't get a bank account, or a job that wasn't cash under the table.

Worldwide? That's crazy. I had to switch to generic Ritalin for a while but I'm able to get generic XR Adderall again as of a month ago.
