In the defence of some of us, like myself for instance, I live in a country where we can do literally jack shit to affect American political bullcrap, because it’s nowhere near America. I’m pretty sure Europeans are excused from having to stay up to date every moment, unless we can force the rest of the world to be continuously in the loop about… idk, whatever crap Geert Wilders is up to right now…

In Character: I mean, isn’t your armour basically PPE against injury induced by foreign actors? 😜

As far as I know, UK English also uses the spelling Battery.

You’re still working, but if the boss has come to rely on you going above and beyond, it’s basically not working anymore.

Doing exactly what your job description entails, to the letter, to specified standards, nothing less and nothing more. No going above and beyond. Way too many places demand 110, 150, maybe even 200 percent of what you can deliver. Working to rule means you deliver exactly 100 percent.

To the place- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD

ASCII was originally a 7-bit standard. If you type in ASCII on an 8-bit system, every leading bit is always 0.

(Edited to specify context)

At least ASCII is forward compatible with UTF-8

Still working on wrapping my mind around that.

That said, I have wrapped my mind around 10-day weeks, which in work division work as follows:
⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️🛋️ Do this 12 times in a year, add a leap day every three months, say to start each season, plus another extra day for new year’s, and another extra according to existing leap year rules.

Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don’t want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!

He asked for -1 beers. He got interpreted as 2⁶⁴ - 1 beers (assuming 64-bit unsigned integers)

My observation is that when push comes to shove, the one good at a thing absolutely cocks it, only for the worst at the thing to catch it in the best way possible.

DM: Decipher this thing. Roll for int.
WIZARD: 3… that makes 7…
BARBARIAN: 19, that makes 17…
WIZARD: ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ
DM: ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ

Perhaps a good DM or table could create good narrative spins for this…

sneaky edit: replaced [lenny face]s with relevant emotes

After chatting her up very well, she’ll miss you. But her aim will get better.

Let’s see. One of my campaigns we have:

• A Dhampir Paladin whose surname is Van Helsing, who fights enemies by trying to suck their blood
• A Death domain Cleric, who’s OOC made it very clear that they’re gonna go into necromancy
• An Eldritch Knight fighter
• A Firbolg druid with 1 level in Rogue who took that level so she has access to weapon mastery (we started at level 4)
• Me, a Battle Master fighter.

I swear, I think I’m gonna prep a Drow Assassin Rogue as a backup character.

(NINJA) EDIT: Y’know, I’m gonna prep the sheet already, just in case.

Random thought:

What if people who post in internet comments claiming to use Arch are actually just one person who’s a barely contained SCP?

Yeah, I just pluck it from my car pocket and *poof*, car.

inb4 Wizards having as much trust in magic as software engineers have in software, which is none at all

If the service becomes large and widespread enough, using the sorcery might become less like warlocking and witchcraft, and more like clergy

Cursed.

I hope every cat you meet in the coming month runs away from you in fear.

Dutch as well. I don’t think “enkeldraad” is a good way to translate “single thread” when talking about screw threads.
