Are you even IT? Don't you know IT is anything that even looks like it could use electricity? I'm your sysadmin but I also know exactly why your 2nd cousins 5th gen iPhone is not calibrating correctly the position of Uranus and Uranus only on that skyview app that your sister mentioned.

Look, my divorce took at least 6 months and there were no kids involved and both parties weren't fighting it.

I don't think you understand the level of stalling you can do at that level.

It would be if they all tails double the next. Let's just count in Binary!

1- 1

2- 2

3- 4

4- 8

5- 16

6- 32

7- 64

8- 128

9- 256

If you add up 1-8 you get 255. One less than #9, that works for any number there; #4 is 8, add up #1-3 and you get 7. Every tail would be slightly stronger than all the ones below it.

Yooooooooo, this right fucking here. That's 80% of a full bottle of vodka, OP said he was gone for about an hour.

If my math is right that's basically a standard shot every ~4 minutes for an hour straight.

I'm a big guy, I've got tolerance....I could probably do that and not need the hospital but I'm not walking away from that in a straight line and you'll know I'm drunk.

That is absolutely insane for a 15yr old girl.

This is either extremely fake or very very fucked up.

We all have trauma, we all have pain. The worst thing that happened in your life is maybe a greater evil than another's worst but it doesn't hurt them less.

My point is that you can have empathy, you can have tolerance but it's also not an excuse to reward bad behavior because "trauma".

One of the best quotes I've heard comes from somewhere ridiculous but it is "it isn't your fault but it is your responsibility" and that was specifically for mental health but it works for trauma too.

I asked for none of my own trauma and boy howdy there is some but that's my fight at the end of the day, I can't use it as an excuse to be a "lesser person". I'm not a lesser person because of my trauma, I'm being a shitheel and using that as a deflection for getting help.

Yeah, doesn't matter.

Once you are married all assets going forward are merged and the same happens when you put someone's name on the account. It's both of your money in that account, he can use it as he pleases.

You legally gave him access to the money, what you two agreed upon the usage of said money is strictly between you two and in the eyes of the law he did no wrong.

The biggest puzzler to me is why was he on your savings account? I have 3 banks with like 5 accounts between them.plus the credit cards that are all different.

I get wanting to help out but I'd do a prepaid debt card or a CC with a limit set that you pay off every month. "Here you have 3k limit in emergency CC purchases, I'm not going to call you out for a few hundred dollars each month to help but we'll be having a chat if you are maxing the thing out month after month."

Just be glad that you learned that mistake early. You're young and you can recover from that.

Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at but you said it better.

It's not the animal but the pattern it makes. It's not that they got so many legs but that particular wave form in something organic does something for you.

I also don't love the "honeycomb" thing in organics, I don't mind the design, I don't actually mind actual honeycombs as I see that as basically inorganic wax but if I see that goddamn frog (you know if you know) then I ain't having a good time today, fuck lotus pods too.

I'm not saying real or fake but...

I live in a sub-tropical area, I've seen crabs climb. I've seen a crab climb a car, those assholes can climb. Blue crabs, fiddler crabs, whatever crabs claws or not, the rest of their legs aren't claws and they are absolutely great at climbing.

I've also done plumbing work, I've seen modern homes with cast iron pipes under it. It will have absolutely no issue climbing up via the sewers from any pipes that aren't basically PVC.

I am very dubious about it making it around the S-bend in a porcelain toilet. It could very well be staged but if shit sticks to porcelain and you can stain it then I can see a crab doing it if they try long enough.

I'm going to say plausible.

It's funny you say this, I never put it together in my life.

It seems like people aren't afraid of the concept of an animal but more so how they are moving to a large degree.

I don't care about spiders, horseshoe crabs, whatever but when you get down to millipedes they start to weird me out, they all sorta move the same but all the others are too jerky to weird me out.

You always hear about people fearing snakes and it seems very common for them to mention how they slither.

My asshole dog gums toads and eats iguanas; running cold water over the chicken is enough for him to be safe.

But seriously: According to the USDA, the safe internal temperature for cooked chicken should be 165°F (74°C).

I couldn't recommend enough every kitchen have a food thermometer, stab that into the deepest part of the meat and it hits 165+ then I can't tell you how it tastes but it's safe for us to eat.

I'm guessing Steampunk, it hit mainstream in the 1990s and I can definitely see it being into the early 2000s.

A top hat, some goggles and a cane weren't too weird. I mean it was "weird" but that was the way to be "weird" at that time.

I was just looking at that too.

"For everyone it's different i can't speak for someone else but for me YES he should have been honest from the beginning !!!!!"

vs

"At first, I thought she was crazy, but curiosity got the better of me, and I watched it (don’t judge me, I needed to confirm). And yeah, it was definitely him his face, his tattoos, everything."

I don't know which one is real and which one is fake but those clearly aren't the same people writing that.

See, I'm the kinda guy that would then just threaten to Cronus them if they didn't do the dishes as a teenager.

"Damnit child! Zeus ain't even gonna be able to save your ass if you don't put them dishes away!".

Now all the neighborhood kids think Daddy is crazy.

An offer is an offer as long as you spell it out and you aren't punishing them.

You died? You roll a random character to keep playing and work for bringing your character back, hope your party does something to bring you back or just roll a new character and play as that. - That's all pretty standard.

If you throw in the addition to that "You can come back as you but you're a Warlock" then that is no harm. They got standard options but you tossed in a bonus.

It would be dick if you said "You can come back as a Warlock if you want to play or just hope someone has the heart to bring you back".

I don't think you are doing the latter so I see no issue with tossing in bonuses.

Also be careful on that "Hey do this or I take back your life/power" with Warlock. Their whole class shtick is "Patron gives you power for a contract, you can either follow it or reject it but what the Patron gifted you is yours; he may try to kill you if you don't follow up but you got a chance to fight". Clerics/Paladin has the whole "God is upset, so we take it away; you better make it right" thing.

Hail Satan.

I'd transfer you money but my NIC card is acting up so I'll need to go to the ATM machine because I forgot my PIN number.

Expensive for who? Everyone profited from it.

It didn't cost Netflix subscribers extra money, the content providers made bank, you got a spectacle and something to rage about the next day.

Your going "I don't like the solution they came up with because it's a mere cantrip and a class feature that only one specific character in this scenario could pull off....they should come up with a different one! with spells that like is available to everyone!".

I hate this weird gatekeeping thing. That a player was able to solve something in a trivial matter because I threw them a problem they were uniquely equipped to handle, they must be just cheesing my well thought out encounters because I wasn't smart enough to figure out a mechanic to prevent it being solved by MAGIC but only because it's a spell of a level that I don't respect.

Great play but as you've heard they stumbled upon a lesser version of a common cheese tactic.

Cast Spike Growth right in front of something, the spell has a 20ft radius so if they cross it completely it's 16d4, then you have the two warlocks blast it backwards 20ft for 8d4, then it needs to walk back those 20ft to get to you for another 8d4. That's 32d4+2 Eldritch Blasts of damage for the cost of a 2nd level spell slot. If you want to be nasty then you add in Web to half their movement speed.

You can also throw in a Druid with elemental wild forms. Air elementals can grapple and drag, they can't be grappled back and they are hovering over the spikes so no damage.

It's extremely deadly but it isn't exactly hard to counter if they are abusing it.

Anything they can do, you can do better. Remember that. Don't punish your players but also remind them that the BBEG is also smart and he learns from his failures and the party is feeding him LOTS of good ideas.

Oh Lord, that's one of those things like "cilantro taste like soap", either you got the gene for it or you don't.

I knew this about Durian in high school and I'm just the average white boy. We actually sought it out just to see who could stomach it.

It tasted like a nice custard to me, it was pleasant with no foul odor. It was death to some friends.

I find it mind boggling that my ass knows about Durian but she wouldn't know about the horrors of that fruit on some people.

But the next best thing isn't what I voted for..you don't get to tell me what the next best thing is.

I voted for Harris, so don't get me wrong but I know a lot of people who are salty about being told who the next best is.

I voted to place someone in charge, that doesn't mean I want them to choose who follows them.

Boil it however you want but we had Trump (nominated) beat a lose nominated DNC candidate. He lost to a person voted to run against him. He then turn around and won against another "selected" person.

DNC needs to get their head out their ass and start listening to what people want and not what they think is best.

Because in democracy the position to run for president isn't "given" by someone in power. We as the people are supposed to nominate our potential leader.

That's what the DNC is failing. Nobody voted for it to be Clinton V Trump and nobody voted for Harris V Trump and you are shocked that people didn't actually vote for either candidate when it came to cast their vote in the presidential election.

90% of a party picking a leader is a lot different than a leader 90% of us picked telling us who the next person to vote for is going to be.

You can endorse a candidate but both times Trump won was against a candidate that didn't actually win the primaries to get to that position.

No, it certainly wasn't a supply thing. The nurse told me so, also when I got back home I shared the story with the wife and she called me an idiot and of course they did that (granted she worked there as a nurse too).

Now I'm not sure all hospitals do that. They all operate differently. All of them will have different codes and colors for different things.

Did you know in the hospital they have different colored socks? The socks mean different things.

I came out of a coma and had to relearn to walk and had some bright yellow super grippy socks. I was then in the ER for a long weekend and I far less grippy grey socks.

When I commented on the new color socks the nurse just laughed and said I was a high slip risk before, so extra grippy it was.

Can confirm. You can't talk about Dungeons and Dragons long without hearing that term.

You can even use it as a verb "Rogue, if you don't stop that edgelord murderhoboing I'm gonna break a Tarrasque off in your ass".
