We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

There's also a few other spots not claimed by any country, like Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan.

The government will get the FAA involved at that point.

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I'd rather pay by check

I'm curious when and where "singular they" was taught as incorrect. Coming from the Midwest in the 80s (not exactly a liberal or forward thinking place), I was taught in no uncertain terms that singular they was appropriate in many circumstances. And my teacher was old as hell, so her education on the matter probably dated to around WW2.

Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling "fresh" meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?

We live in very different places. (Not sarcasm, this has happened to me about a dozen times)

Electric Light Orchestra. Jeff Lynne has entered the relationship.

I hope it's a callback to this gem:

It's slowly coming back to me... There was a floppy disk that you needed to launch the raid config? Also the platform ran pretty well with debian 4.0 if you're debating what to run on it.

For a non-pizza comment: I've been out of the hardware game for awhile, but the last time I had to set one of these up for RAID, the paper manual (which can probably be found digitally) was helpful. I also vaguely recall RAID 5 either having issues or being unavailable.

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don't be surprised when your plane's "full" overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.

Is this from the book titled Castles? It has been on my list of books to buy for quite some time.

Fascists

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman A fantastic novel on the pointlessness of war, told through the lens of space opera / sci-fi

Remembering things is the primary purpose of the check, but sometimes how you're applying it might require an alternative skill check to make sense. Here are some examples (from https://rpgbot.net/dnd5/characters/impractical-skill-checks/ ):

    
Wisdom – Consoling and counselling a creature through a crisis of faith could be done with a Wisdom (Religion) check.

Charisma – Proselytizing for a faith makes more sense as a Charisma (Religion) check than a Charisma (Persuasion) check.

  

I think they might even hang out when they're outside the office...

I do, several hours per day. Wireless headphones might are okay in short stints, but I really like my wired ones (Sony MDRs, which will probably outlast me)

It sounds like you need to force more discussion in session 0 talks (or earlier). Do you want an RP-light, fairly linear game? Great! You're not alone. But everyone at your table needs to agree to that, or at least one of you is not having a good time.

I like a good hack and slash dungeon crawl. I also like RP heavy games. But those are two very different games, and it's good to have consistency within whatever game you're playing.

Not everything normally needs to be saved. However, in this case it looks like the court ordered them to preserve data during discovery and they did not comply. From the article:

Pichai, and many other employees, also testified they did not change the auto-delete setting even after they were made aware of their legal obligation to preserve evidence.

In 5e, the more problematic part of a paladin making holy water here is the use of 25gp worth of powdered silver in the liquid (which doesn't actually hurt them more in 5e, just in classical folklore)
