You can get very good stereo speakers and a quality amp for a few hundred bucks.

The idea that you need to spend thousands is a myth. It’s more about form factor than specs. Sound bars suck. Full range woofers don’t.

Sizzling hot take, lol

Came here to say:

• thyroid medication
• obstruction surgery
• cancer surgery and treatment
• cardiology to treat dilated cardiomyopathy.

Probably cost $25k over the years. I’m extremely grateful our pet insurance covered 80-90% of that.

Dude just turned 10 and he’s healthy and happy enough to start treating his arthritis.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

All my teacher friends wind up working 10 hour days on average.

They work during breaks.

They work during summer.

Good teachers don’t just show up for classroom time then disappear.

Teaching.

College degree mandatory, graduate degree preferred.

Yearly continuing education costs.

Out of pocket expenses for classroom materials.

Sometimes providing food for kids who don’t have it.

Famously low salaries and very long hours.

Most people can’t afford new cars, let alone new cars priced way above average.

Water, electricity, or both?

ACAB

I paid 26k for 8.4kw three years ago from A&R solar in Seattle.

So far so good 3 episodes in.

The look and feel of the world is great.

The characters are pretty believable.

Writing is good so far.

Nothing is more fun than guessing what arbitrary macguffin the DM has in mind. Or tirelessly asking if you see anything in this corner or that corner, or over there, or under the desk, or behind the tapestry.

You brought receipts. Impressive lol.

Sometimes I think DMs forget their players are trying to enjoy a game.

Not everyone has 8 hours a week to sit at the table. Let’s get things going.

Critical failure doesn’t have to mean the worst outcome imaginable, though.

Rolling a 1 on a routine skill check that you’ve done a thousand times as an expert should reflect the circumstances.

Landing a familiar model plane at your home airport on a sunny day with no wind? Rolling a 1 means it’s as bad as it can be under those circumstances. Let’s say, a bird flies into the windshield and obscures your view. New problem to solve! New roleplaying opportunity! Doesn’t mean the plane insta-crashes. You might just deal with the failure creatively and carry on like nothing happened. Scary moment, but fun to play out.

Now let’s say you’re the same experienced pilot, but you’re landing an unfamiliar, stolen plane that your rogue hot wired, and you’re trying to land on a beach littered with tourists and rocks.

Rolling a 1 for a critical failure is a much different scenario this time.

What are some decent scooter brands and models to look out for? There’s so much shovelware crap out there to sort through.

Sometimes yes sometimes no. It can really screw with the texture of some cheeses. Other cheeses last months without being frozen.

Goat cheese is pretty loose and grainy, so freezing doesn’t affect it much.

Costco sells big portions of chevre for a lot less money than grocery stores. It freezes well too so don’t have to rush to eat it.

Correct

Trans rights are human rights

Gay rights are human rights

Black peoples rights are human rights

Women’s rights are human rights

Human rights exist.

There are in fact no green stars at all. At least not to human eyes. Very cool and interesting stuff.
