No regrets
  • ...sleeve of saltines and a block of grated cheddar were my go-to lunch as a kid; no regrets...

    (these days i'm more into triscuits and cheddar slices, the pricey aged cheeses rather than big orange store-brand bricks)

  • Apparently a right-wing deacon said this
  • ...she's an episcopalian bishop who led trump's inaugural service, asking that he accept god's humility and share his mercy with marginalised people who fear him, specifically naming genderqueer, immigrant, and refugee populations...

  • You'll never test enough for the end user
  • TIL!

    …i also had no idea aluminised tetrapacks were recyclable; always figured composite materials were dead-end landfill fodder…

    (the changeover wasn't entirely in the sixties, though: as a kid, we used to peel cartons open and scrape off the wax for craft projects clear into the early eighties, never realised the packaging had changed prior to the advent of plastic screw-tops)

  • FL wants more child labor
  • ...siding?..i do what i must to survive but, if that comes across as advocating for serfdom, you're inferring something i certainly didn't imply...

    ...working as a kid afforded me toys, books, tapes, and musical instruments; working as an adult afforded me f*cking rent and insurance premiums...

  • FL wants more child labor
  • ...born in the seventies, i was working by fifth grade and overnight by high school; longest shift i ever pulled was twenty-six hours without a break...

    ...kids born in the eighties enjoyed nineties child labor laws, which were kind of a mixed blessing: less exploitation but also less opportunities to earn money...

  • Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees
  • ...depending upon the week, somewhere between ⅔ and ⅘ of my workflow can be in outlook...

    ...our IT policy required a shift to new outlook last year and it devastated my productivity: i struggled against its user-hostile interface for a couple of weeks and eventually just stayed home so i could get work done, despite our back-to-office mandate...in short order i was given an administrator account and i'm back on old outlook again...

  • US honeybee deaths hit record high as scientists scramble to find main cause
  • ...i drove from the gulf coast to northern california twenty-five years ago and had to thoroughly clean my windshield of bugs every fuel stop, which was pretty typical of road trips for thirty years prior; i can't remember the last time i've had to clean my windshield of anything other than dust since the mid-2000s...

  • Dice Bags

    ...i need a really good bag for about eighty chessex-style dice: any better-suited options out there than the crown royal standard?..

    Dominate Person - Indefinite Duration

    ...how would you characterise dominate person cast with indefinite duration?..

    ...upcasting dominate person at eighth level can maintain up to eight hours with concentration, so i'd be inclined to consider twenty-four hours duration equivalent to a ninth-level spell, but perhaps i'm under-gauging the difference in power between eighth and ninth-level spells?..

    ...regardless, in this particular case it was cast with indefinite duration plus disadvantage on the saving throw against a hostile player character, which i'd like to translate into mechanical terms: maybe a ninth-level casting with heightened metamagic plus silvery barbs?..

    ...i'm playing with a DM who has a poor grasp of fifth-edition's mechanical balance and i'd like to help him understand just how adversarial his homebrew and houserule tendencies are leaning, especially for early tier-two gameplay...
