My phone just says "99+"

Remember, this was dismissed due to standing. They're likely waiting for a better case

1372, almost all of them from Ancestry, a grocery chain, Tractor Supply, or a Google Alert. I probably have no use for any of them.

i just cleared all my emails, thanks for reminding me.

I've got 4,5K emails saved...."I might need them later"

Lock him up! Lock him up!

Way too many videos, it would have been better if you had playlists on yearly basis (eg. Year 2022, 2021...). It is not possible to scroll 1000s of videos. Year based playlist could have helped.

Sadly the Cheetofaced Twatwaffle will probably only get a fine as a....gods...first time offender, but that they secured a conviction at all is something I'm taking for a win. And I also take solace in knowing everything he's built has crumbled and broken and failed. I firmly believe that'll include MAGA.

This video was super quiet. Usually at least your 4000 questions videos aren't

Boy, I wish I had my tablet back in the nineties, when I was DMing AD&D 2nd Edition and I had to carry around two backpacks full of manuals each time I had a playing session. It was the very opposite of gaming light. Now all I need to carry is my tablet, my notebook, my dice pouch, and some writing tools and sheets of paper for writing maps and notes. I like books and I have a fair collection, but they may be very impractical when you are gaming at someone else's home and you have to bring them there.

Lately I've been saying voting is a bus, not a car (not my saying, no idea who came up with it), it puts you closer to where you want to go, but it won't get you there exactly. The Democrats are closer to where I want to go. They're my bus. Unfortunately. But that's focusing on the political message. On the overall one? Damn this is a lesson I still need to learn. I have multiple half-finished projects where I've done so well so far, but I've frozen going farther with them because I'm afraid to screw up what I've already done. Pushing through that fear's an effort, a huge one sometimes, but it can be so worth it when I manage.

Oh, there is a John Deer joke just bursting to come out. But NO, I will be the better person today.

Collective humanity is definitely a monster. Religious groups, many social organisations, institutions and cults are monstrous. That's why people try so hard to conceive of imaginary 'monsters', to project and deflect what they themselves are. What human beings are unconsciously doing the planet and different sentient beings is monstrous, and what they are prepared to tolerate, accept and normalise is just as monstrous. Humans are apex predators.

I admit, the whole BLM isn't relevant to me, mostly, if not solely, due to location and different culture (although, all lives matter, each and every one; being targeted due to skin is asinine, in any way) But I get a kick out of restoration projects, I love seeing them, I love doing them, etc. You've done a great job; I would probably use a small-ish brush and black paint, and then spray lacquer the whole sign. Unless you have extreme weather (severe rain and snow storms, scorching desert suns etc.) that usually lasts for years and years.

You mentioned 2022 in the video, I'm very curious how this has held up to present day!

great scout knife.

Alchemical fire nothing, back in 1e days if the player had a mishap & more than one potion flask broke, it meant a roll on the miscibility table!

Yeah, the cable itself doesn't matter much with HDMI: it is sending 1s and 0s down the line and not an analog signal. A better cable might be braided or have better shielding, but unless you're rough with the cable or in an electrically noisy environment, there's no point.

Oh, as a DM, I am VERY interested in those details about equipment. As I pointed out other times while commenting your RPG videos, I tend to a very realistic and believable approach to DMing, and that's one of the main reasons I do not really like games like D&D 4e or 5e or Pathfinder 2e, which most of the times throw realism and believability in the trash bin. In 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e there was a rule about your equipment getting damaged if you failed a save against a damaging effect, which gave priorities to what would get damaged first based on its level of exposure, so the concern of that player may actually be legit. Among the many homerules for Pathfinder 1e I used in my games there were "equipment conditions", which basically were used to state how you were carrying and/or using your gear and how other characters or yourself could interact with it. For example, to be able to retrieve an object with a simple action in combat, that item should have had the "readied" condition. Retrieving a readied weapon would change its condition to "wielded", while retrieving a readied potion would give it the "carried" condition. The problem with the readied condition is that the object is easily accessible and probably somewhat exposed, so it can be targeted by enemies, it can be lost due to some happening, or it can be damaged by failing a save. Those issues could be partially or totally negated by giving the item the "stored" or "packed" conditions, but that would also make retrieving and using the object really hard and action heavy in combat. As an example, think about your special forces guy carrying some hand grenades. The ones that are readied are those attached to his combat harness, so that he can grab one easily in battle, but the downside is that a stray bullet could hit one and kaboom or an enemy could steal or activate one while grappling him. The grenades that are stored are in his pockets or easily accessible bags, requiring more time to be grabbed and used, while the packed ones are probably in his combat backpack, not really available in combat, unless he has the time to take off the backpack, open it, search it, and so on. This homerules made adjudicating the situations and events that player was concerning about much more easy for me. Besides, I would be concerned too if I was carrying fragile flasks full of what in past editions was called greek fire, a legendary historical mixture capable of igniting spontaneously when exposed to air and basically impossible to quench once ignited. The spaghetti western you cited is called "my name is nobody", with Terence Hill and Henry Fonda as lead actors. A wonderful movie.

The ones made in USA have HYDE with USA below it cast on the front. The bodies are made from Zinc, not Aluminum. I was looking for information regarding snapping the slide tab off to give it longer extension, as mentioned on an Amazon product page.

I go back and forth on Trek vs Star Wars. Right now I think I prefer Trek

bro this book was so cool I would sit in english and just read it all class in like 2nd grade

All of it got f'ed when they removed the dislike counter.

... you're not an alien?

I carry it in my waist band٫ it is an easy knife to hide

Price is an advantage. Defenetly. It's actually not a tool. It's a dagger. Has only one main purpose.

I think an interesting question is how many features are too many, people are only so imaginative w/ how to use things or willing to learn how to use tools/a truck outside of what they think the thing does (thing in this case being a pickup truck)

That's so true. My childhood was late 70s/early 80s, solidly middle class upbringing, and for an embarrassingly long time my dumb ass thought the 80s were the golden age. I've still got stupid nostalgia over that era even knowing, now, that politically and socially it was an awful time for anyone who wasn't a middle class, straight white Christian dude. We haven't come all that far forward, but we HAVE come forward. And now we have to keep dragging this country forward. The 70's, the 80s, the 90,s, the 00's, the 2010's were all shit.Our job's to dig our way out of it, and make it easier for the people who come after us to do the same.

Yup. I started making memories around age 4, and things were already bad.

I'm a strongly principled liberal who drinks raw milk. I've seen no evidence that one is more likely to get sick from it than raw plant foods, but I'm open to such evidence if it exists. Yet even though there are regular disease infections from raw plant foods, no one is arguing for making raw plant foods illegal. Pasteurization of dairy destroys enzymes, fat-soluble vitamins, and the Wulzen anti-stiffness factor. The increase of dairy allergies and intolerance might partly be from pasteurization. As for the bird flu, not many have been infected and those infected have had no worse symptoms than the common flu, other than some cats that have died in Texas from drinking raw milk. Sure, if you're immunocompromised, you might die from the bird flu, as you might die from any other infection. But you also might die from raw plant foods. I suppose one could cook everything, but it's a risk-benefit ratio with the benefits being significant. By the way, I live in a liberal college town that is surrounded by farmland. I get my raw dairy from a liberal lady who uses farming methods of regenerative pasture that improves the environment, stops erosion and runoff, replenishes topsoil, nourishes microbial life, captures carbon, and provides habitat for wildlife. So, not only am I improving my own health with the benefits of raw milk but I'm also committing to a sense of moral duty in making the world a better place. Be careful about getting pulled into the MSM narratives being spun in politicizing diets based on sometimes false stereotypes. Many people drawn into alternative diets (plant-based, traditional foods, carnivore, etc) are liberals interested in raw milk. But you wouldn't know that from listening to corporate media and those repeating corporate media rhetoric. This is how divisions are created so as to distract the public from real issues of injustice, corruption, inequality, etc. By the way, I have no kids. If I did have kids, I'd use the precautionary principle and be wary about raw milk. (I don't give raw milk to my cat.) But aged raw cheese is perfectly safe and is sold in stores in the state I live in. But raw dairy that isn't aged does have more health risks, as do raw plant foods. I just find it odd and unhelpful that the moral panic does motivate the same concerned citizens from warning about children eating raw carrots, celery, lettuce, sprouts, and such.

If they weren't doing it to kids, I'd say let them thin the herd

Thanks! Link?

My game is utilizing a d20 roll under mechanic and like you damage is based weapon type and difference between challenge rating and the result.

Bell curve rolls and margin of success as damage/effect base exist since forever, not only in rpgs. They have their issues too. For example, it's really hard to roll higher than the average, so each point of DC added is not just a 5% less chance to succeed, but an exponentially lower chance instead. To roll a 10 on 3d6 or a d20, you have a 55% chance, but to roll a 15, you have only a 9,26% chance, far less than the 30% for a plain d20. With 3d6, you would get no chance to roll a 19 or 20 too. Also, if you use margin of success, you can't also have a critical hit system in place, since they could mess with each other. There are many games that use either or both of those mechanics. In Italy we have Lex Arcana, which uses both for different things: margin of success for damage, and you have a choice of how many and what types of dice to roll for a check, given that there is an exploding dice mechanic too, that is rolling the max on a dice means rolling them again and adding the result. This latter trick is what replaces standard critical hits. Since you decide what to roll, sometimes it may be better to roll a single dice, since you have more chances to score the max than by rolling multiple dice, while other times you may prefer to roll many dice, since getting an average score would grant success in a crucial check. That said, they do not work well in D&D-style games. The attack roll is just a way to see if you hit or not, while how well you hit is in the damage roll. The d20 roll is basically a percentile roll with 5% steps, so you are basically trying to roll your chance to hit or less on that die. It's a "yes or no" kind of mechanic. There is no real place for a margin of success mechanic in that, unless we place a certain percentile chance to roll a crit in addition to that, which ends up being a better result, especially in those games with damage multipliers on crit. But again, how well you have critically hit is in the damage roll, not in the attack roll. Another thing against bell curves in d20 games is the difficulty class, which goes up or down in a linear way, not in a gaussian way. The whole difficulty system would need a complete rework, otherwise combat would become incredibly harsh when multiple bonuses to defenses start to add up. Where the bell curve works well is in games with fixed scores, for example between 3 and 15 and you have to roll your score or less on 3d6. The trick here is trying to get most of the chance to succeed, while trying not to send the target number below the middle score due to penalties, because the most you get far away from the average, the harder becomes to succeed, really, really fast. Where the margin of success works well is in games with exploding dice, dice pools, or other unconventional and non-linear ways to determine success, where you can easily go beyond what you need to succeed or where you can succeed multiple times with the same roll.

What do you get when a corporate raider(berkshire) buys american co"chippewa" and moves it to china ? Unemployment and foreign made boots of low quality sent to america...they have no shame because all they care about is money and they don't care about America or it's people...they are traitors

Hey, glad you like my name! There's no reference there, I just pulled it out of the depths of my brain for an MMO once and I've reused it since...I think if there's any inspiration it probably draws from the Basic D&D sample character Morgan Ironwolf. And I agree with every word here. I'm not sure why I even considered it weird that I found that knife appealing...I think it's locked into my brain that tools aren't "supposed" to be aesthetically pleasing. But there's no reason it should be that way. I've also got a home full of cluttered things that I've fallen in love with for one reason or another, from polished stones to plushies...and so...damn...many...dice. Like with you, they're things I love, even if they serve no real purpose. So yeah! On the dice note, you might check out the new d4s from Role 4 Initiative, I love how they feel in the hand compared to the classic pyramids. And I'll end this little ramble by agreeing wholeheartedly on "aesthetics", I find that an incredibly awkward word.

Look, the legends are truly real. But isn't!

I don't like this self checkout ethier. I would still rather go to the cashier.

That is a gorgeous patu though. I'm definitely buying one lol. I always wanted one. A lei o mano too

Polynesians utilized sea creatures for a lot of our weapons as well. Even swordfish and sharks. The patu was typically made of either whale bone, jade or wood

I'm not much of a fan of our country's foreign policy, but we did have one good thing going in the 1940s didn't we?

Speaking as a straight white cis dude myself, it hurts knowing I grew up not seeing the damage we did or the privilege we had and have. And it boggles my mind that so many still can't see it. Some also won't see it. Those confuse me less, but they get my contempt instead of my bafflement.

tetsubo57, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!

Did you know Moen is lifetime warrantied? Call their 1 (800) number and get the parts free with fast FedEx shipping as well.

"The Hub merchants selected bottle caps because of two factors: First, the technology to manufacture them and paint their surfaces had been mostly lost in the Great War, which limited any counterfeiting efforts: The paint used, machining, and metal type all have to be very specific in order for a bottle cap to be genuine.[8] Second, there is a limited number of bottle caps, which preserves their value against inflation to some degree.[9] Finally, the Hub merchants in New California could support it as a common unit of exchange by backing it with water.[10]" So it came down to limited supply which explains why you were wrong in your argument on the internet. The new bottle caps WERE in fact counterfeit. You're just not familiar with the lore. In my game, we're going to use copper/silver/gold coins and gold-backed bank notes.

So you want an animus?

They're waiting for the sign to turn green

The prevailing comprehension of addiction is itself, based in a collective psychosis. The name of that indoctrinated idiocy, that collective psychosis is "sin". To be alive, a living thing, is to be addicted. Addictions range from beneficial through benign to malignant. Air, water, basic food, a survivable temperature range, are all beneficial addictions. Things such as foods and substances, and activities such as sex, habitually oxidizing carbons and risk taking, can overwhelm our basic needs, rolling them into the benign, then into the malignant, when we fail, both as individuals and as a society, to be aware of their potentials for harm. The false paradigms of addiction, are one of the main societal flaws of our species.

In Germany the car coming from the right side has the right of way. Meaning you just have to watch one direction at intersections. We also have signs for situations when that is not the case (e.g. a big street has right of way over a small street, so the people on the big street don't have to stop. How does the US deal with small street going into a big street?
