Grommets make sense since you'll be staking it, but yeah I'd skip the hem.

Maybe reinforce the corners with some triangles and make It 2 or 3x thick before you put a grommet through them.

I wish I could ask the writers if the holodeck scene was a direct call-out to the old something awful blue stripes series

Talk about fixing the rural internet problem. That would be amazing.

Probably went to the same school as the lawyer that came up with "afluenza"

well shit.

And the only penalty is about a 10% energy density loss. The chemistry also charges / discharges on a very flat curve, which means it's not sufficient to monitor voltage levels and temperature to know the current charge state, you have to also monitor power-in / out and time and make a best guess, which requires semi regular calibration.

The upside is that you can always charge to 100% and it has almost triple (I think) duty cycles compared to traditional liOn

Cyberpriest says what?

Ah! Exactly! When I DM, I take players requests as a challenge, and that makes it more fun for me. For this case I was a guest so I played it safe 😁

Just give it to your warrior. I played a game where I wanted just ice spells for RP reasons, but most of the ice spells suck, so I just reskinned the fire ones as ice, and left the damage as "cold" fire (affected by fire resistance) so as not to affect the game balance.

Ice bolt, ice ball, ray of ice, etc.

Still requires the compiler though.

I don't have a good answer, but I've embedded python in bash scripts before after having the bash script install python. Take that as you will.

I got to use "There be whales here!" in the context of being on a whale watching tour, and only getting to see one as we were heading back, having given up seeing any.

It might be my life's greatest achievement.

I'm in this meme and am painfully aware of it.

I feel like Jadzia would be "Listen to the worm, take your meds".

You think maybe he'd wake up in the middle of the night on DS9, quietly whisper "Computer, end simulation", and then silently sob himself back to sleep?

So you're saying it's a simple question of weight ratios?

This is why you use TCP: Trusted Concurrent Pigeons.

Trusted Pigeons so that a simple hash check can prove the veracity of your data AND provide a free dedupe / data integrity check for when multiple/single packets arrive.

Concurrent Pigeons so that transmission issues don't impact latency (throughput is essentially unlimited here, assuming sufficient pigeons)

Downsides include needing to implement a pigeon cache and power (birdfood) requirement increases.

These memes are on fire, and that's a problem because Nestlé got to the firehose first.

Fuck it, I like your energy. Recognize that time in your day that's most valuable and fight to keep it yours ✊

I would love to read neuromancer again for the first time, excellent book.

Nuclear should be the only non renewable power we use at scale. Oil makes sense for emergency situations (it's portable and is stable forever) and where energy density is most important (like aircraft, for now). Coal can fuck right off.
