NCIX Tech Tips: Special Victims Unit
Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content
Serious questions:
Can you elaborate on this? Isn’t D&D just a book of rules, which can be used to the letter or changed per campaign? How would anyone force players to switch to another ruleset? Are they SWATing sessions and confiscating old rule books?
In the cat and mouse game, the cat can adjust tactics but the mice eventually figure out an alternative route. I’m sure they will find a way with this. Either that or a lot of people will just stop watching YouTube, I’d imagine.
I’d imagine YouTube subtracts the ad length from posted timestamps when clicking a link containing one. But we are taking about Google, soooooo…
Yeah right, we all know you have a single copy of digital items and you can either put it here or there, but not both. That’s why NFTs were such a success! /s
When I was a Boy Scout, one summer at camp, a bad storm had rolled in around 7-8pm. We had just finished dinner and made it back to our campsites when the administration decided to issue the alarm urging scouts to return to the central lodge due to sever weather being reported.
Us and another local scout unit were at a site situated at the top of a very large hill. Like, you’d get off a bike if you had to go up this thing. That kind of hill. As soon as the alarm sounded to get down to the central lodge, we booked it down the hill. As did the other scout unit from our area
A little wet but otherwise fine, all the scouts and staff from the area entered the lodge and sat on the benches. From my perspective, I heard some gasps, a thud, and some screaming for help. I had no idea what was going on initially. Came to find out that the troop leader of the other local scouts had lurched over and fell on the ground, apparently suffering from a heart attack.
All of us scouts, the leaders son included, had to sit there and watch a troop leader and father die before their eyes. It took the ambulance 30 minutes or so to get up to the campsite. The local scout administration performed CPR and did everything they could to keep him alive. He was probably dead soon after hitting the floor of the lodge.
I have never forgotten this and is one of the primary reasons I try to take care of myself. Dude was a large guy but a great leader based on what I saw of him. I felt bad for his troop and his family. I hope that family and troop managed to get closure.
I think the son was getting or had gotten that red arrow sash they give out for something scouts can do. Sorry, it’s been 20-years since I was in scouts.
I have saved this reply for the near future when I rebuild my server box to run Linux! Thanks again for your knowledge and information!
I’ll take a look at it, thanks!
Sometimes I look at my watch or clocks in 24hr time and will say it’s" 9pm" or it’s “6pm” when really it’s 1900 and 1600.
I think it’s related to the inconsistent time format that we have to balance. Most people don’t use 24hr so I can’t just say, it’s 1900 or 1600, and my brain does some quick math shortcuts, which blurts out the last number of the hours spot.
Gonna be a confusing time for my son when he starts to learn how to tell time.
Ahh the early 2000s. What a time to be a teenager with new tech, a dialup network, and bootleg videos that occasionally contained someone’s browser or a floating mouse or a separate video that briefly starts playing over the screen-capped video!
Back when the Internet was new and not a dying corpse, drained of all it’s essence by monied interests!
You sound like me with Docker. Still unsure how to use that shit but haven’t sat down to really try again, either.
I agree, reverse proxy was also a little mind numbing before I really buckled down and read/watched a bunch of info on it. I learn best by examples and try-fail, but that’s hard to do with live services.
I think so. I have one of his books and really like it! Just couldn’t remember it and was not in a spot to look it up, unfortunately.
That’s the one, yes. I’d be curious to learn what you thought of it, if you watch it. It reminded me of a mixture between The Shimmer and the dystopian books from that Swedish guy’s artistic stories. His last name starts with “S”.
Good? I’ve since watched Vesper Chronicles, but not sure I’d recommend it.
Recently went on a sci-fi bender starting with both new Dune movies, then Rememory, High Life, Archive, and Tenet. Finished Tenet last night. Still don’t know what it was about!
I saw a post a while back that said millennials use “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome” because no problem signifies the act was of little effort and was no problem to do. However, “you’re welcome” implies entitlement, as in you are welcomed to my time and effort, or some shit. I don’t remember, but yeah, just a “generational thing.”
So yeah it’s a “can I speak to your manager” boomer thing, as usual. Only group I ever see getting their panties in a wad over a phrase. Just like “Merry Christmas” changing to “Happy Holidays” erases their religion or dares to put other similar holidays, in the same approximate time of the year on equal footing, making their religious holiday less significant.
Then don’t go on their property?
Yeah, but a noticable increase in inappropriate jean applications!
I mean, do it? No reason to announce it here, and no one will care about your plethora of cameras. Why would what someone chooses to add to their property be something that “pisses you off” so much?
Especially when you could hold a vote, letting the people decide the method. One option: yeet the person from the trebuchet. The second: yeet something at them from a trebuchet!
