…all that and you don’t even mention that he’s been an open russian asset for eight years?..
…the blunt truth is that he’s in too deep, as are most of the remaining republican party, and the only way to keep their heads at this point is to double-down on seizing the apparatus of state to dismiss their criminal culpability…
…i don’t know that i shouldn’t’ve seen it, but the 1978 invasion of the body snatchers was my introduction to existential horror at the ripe age of seven years…
…what shouldn’t i have seen?..about a year earlier, a family friend handed-down a big brown grocery bag stacked to the rim with pre-code EC horror comics: that was some teeth-gnashingly gruesome stuff…
…your campaign needn’t fizzle-out after cryovain!..dragon of icespire peak is only the first part of a four module series, followed by storm lord’s wrath, sleeping dragon’s wake, and divine contention on DnDbeyond…
…the essentials kit was published as a hook to draw parties onto the digital platform, but despite being a fantastic value as a physical boxed set, they did a poor job promoting the latter 3/4 of its adventure content, which were only published digitally…
…i read this in the tone of an exasperated husband responding to his wife waiting impatiently to drag him along to some saturday-afternoon garden tea party…
…likewise, each character is different distillation of some aspect of my own personality; it’s kind of an integral part of the character creation process for me to figure out who they are and properly get into character…
…i, too, had to text-message my coworker…
…are you presuming her gender?..it’s a woman’s right to grow a beard if she chooses…
…just ripples in the carbon cycle, momentary standing waves until we lose coherence…
…new sourcebooks coming next year, but fourth-edition maps kind of butchered the realms and third-edition maps compressed them into a fantasy theme park: i appreciate the proper scale of the fifth-edition map even if broader setting resources mostly entail tracking down older reference material…
…fifth edition does offer officially-sanctioned sourcebooks for the moonshaes, border kingdoms, thay, chult, and icewind dale in addition to the sword coast, though; you just have to delve into the DM’s guild for adept and adventurers’ league material…
…third-edition maps do alright in a pinch as long as you double the distances…
…we have a couple of industrial fans but the sound’s not quite right by comparison to cross-flow impellers…
…at some level i secretly suspect that sleeping under omnipresent white noise has only made my tinnitus worse over time, but that could also be a natural consequence of my ears aging-out…
(could also come from driving a convertible at speed while blasting music on a three-hour commute every day, if i’m honest)
…i don’t doubt it: when i left the bay area for cheaper lands twenty years ago, 650sf apartments were going for $1600 and i’m sure prices have only inflated since…my data points are all the cheap minima on my housing curve over the past three four decades…
edit: …f*ck, i forgot how old i am; it happens on the north end of the century mark…
…dark mode text while lying in repose on my side usually does the trick for me, but then i wake up later with a drained ipad propped against the wall…
…white noise drowns out the ringing in my ears and calms the voices in my head…
…my fan broke earlier this year; i’m shopping for a mechanical white-noise generator…
…when our central air conditioner failed during this summer’s hundred-degree spell, i installed a temporary window-box unit and sleeping was BLISS: tinnitus gang needs fans…
…most low-earth-orbit photos are shot with a wide-angle lens, which exaggerates the curvature of the earth and makes local features appear disproportionately large relative to the horizon…
…my wife’s a mad scientist: well, she’s a senior scientist and she’s mad pretty often…
…well there’s always rice-and-beans but with the way finance, insurance, and real estate are going these days you’ll need rice-and-beans just to survive, not to save up…
