I got a ton of early blueprints from my first trials but haven’t seen much good drops since. Got two Tempest Is from last week’s that I don’t really need. Anyone else having better luck?

Ah, I’ll give it a try.

Supply drops are the worst 😭

Ah that sucks. :(

It kind of makes me wish we got some sort of "Dungeon Master" tools to make our own campaigns, but then again, at that point just run D&D with some friends i suppose.

There is a DM mode in BG3! https://www.ign.com/wikis/baldurs-gate-3/Custom_Mode

Every now and then I will jump back into whatever flavor of MUD seems interesting for a few weeks. They’re so much fun but like you say, nobody plays them.

As far as I understand it it's essentially a humongous legal ponzi scheme. When the US gov issues new bonds they are using part of that revenue to pay back the interest on older issued bonds. In order to pay the interest on the new bonds this year, they use revenue from bonds issued next year. Ponzi schemes grow infinitely, so we're seeing the same with the US budget as well.

As much as I agree with your argument over OP’s, the unnecessary name calling has reduced it to nothing more than a tantrum.

I wasn’t able to articulate how I felt about this adaptation accurately until this.

These figures come from the Hamas Health Ministry, which was also debunked when it admitted over 72% of those killed were combat-aged men, not women or children.

So 28% of Gaza casualties were women and children??? How can they possibly think this is ok??

This would make a great blackstone recipe!

T-Mobile (a U.S. phone carrier) plans include free global roaming at 256kbps down which is bearable for texting apps but unusable in almost anything else. This is perfect!

 

I have an old Alienware r8 and several 2-4 TB HDDs gathering dust in a closet. The Alienware actually runs remarkably quiet and it occurred to me I could turn it into a DIY NAS.

I’m not entirely sure where to start though. Some immediate questions:

  • What’s a good NAS OS to install?
  • Any fun things I can do besides plex transcoding with a 1080 GPU?
  • Would it make sense to run a Pixelfed/Mastodon server off this guy?
  • Can I run a RAID on it without buying a separate HDD bay?

Background:

I already have a Synology NAS running Plex. It transcodes 1080p fine which is really all I need it for.

Other than a Plex port forward, I have zero experience putting services out on the public web (but would like to learn!).

 

Started up season 2 of Avatar The Last Airbender and it occurred to me that I never skip the intro sequences for any episode of this show. It’s just so good.

What other show intros can you not skip?

 

I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.

How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??

  1. Post a wish, like for a genie (e.g. "I wish for a million dollars")
  2. People comment with ways it can backfire. (e.g. "Great! Here's 2700 Zimbabwean dollars.")
  3. Profit!
 

I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

 

I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

 

Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

 

… is an extremely lackluster feat. I had originally read the skill description as being a main OR bonus attack and that felt really strong. After getting the feat I am now stuck with a meaningless skill that takes both actions for what is essentially just a walk + hit.

Am I missing something with this feat?

 

No way to reset or go back other than by resetting the app. Screen is completely blank and white. Only the system menu bar on the very top is visible (clock, cell signal, wifi signal, and battery).

 

Competition is great
