Well, not always: Plural ‘they’ is a borrowing from Old Norse ca. 1200 AD, and the earliest attestation of singular ‘they’ is about a century later.

But, yeah, you’d think 700 years of continuous use would be enough to make it uncontroversial…

It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it’s just hidden in the cost of the device.

Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

First OS on a computer I personally owned? Windows 98. First Linux distro was Source Mage.

If not counting ownership, then Apple IIs at school and then slightly later my family got an Amstrad that was primarily a DOS machine, but could also boot (by switching floppies several times) to some sort of GUI.

That was actually Unix. Specifically the fsn file manager for IRIX.

There’s a Linux clone called fsv.

As far as any of those sites are concerned, I was born January first, [the earliest year they allow].

Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.

He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.

Honestly, perception checks should be rolled behind the screen. Or anything where the character wouldn’t immediately know the outcome.

Sure, players shouldn’t act on things their character doesn’t know, but why give them the temptation?

Or mind-affecting stuff with will saves.

It’s amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

Jojo Rabbit featured Jewish Maori Hitler and was very well received.

It gets even weirder in terms of game mechanics. High strength and no armor is kind of an unusual combination. Barbarians and bards (buff or otherwise) both typically wear armor. As do fighters, rangers, rogues, clerics…

Wizards and sorcerers don’t but also don’t usually benefit much from strength. (Not to mention that bard is a strange multi for either.)

Conclusion: Terry as pictured is clearly a monk/bard.

Oil is corrosive? Doesn’t it usually prevent steel from rusting?

Not exactly what you’re talking about, but LeVar Burton Reads is amazing, too. It’s like Reading Rainbow for grownups.

It’s actually not quite an exception, because cocaine is a Schedule II drug (can be prescribed as a vasoconstrictor or topical anesthetic) and the Maywood plant is the only facility licensed to produce pharmaceutical grade cocaine in the US.

So the coca leaf extract they sell to Coca-Cola is technically a byproduct.

There’s a quest like that in the recent Rogue Trader crpg, in which you help a party member obtain a permit from the Administratum.

You could do something like ((d6-1)*20+d20)/15.

But that’s an awful lot of work just to avoid having a d8.
