A grand jury is a sort of sanity check on a charge, and does not count towards the trial. It is basically “with these facts (provided only by the prosecution), is there enough probable cause to move a case to trial?”. Double jeopardy in the 5th amendment has specific protections from going to trial multiple times or from getting multiple punishments for a crime.

The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

It took my old ass way too long to realize that you were talking about the Imagine Dragons song (which was definitely overplayed) and not the absolute banger of a song from The Firm.

Looks like it does, at least in “private spaces”

(I’m assuming that CA means California and not Canada)

Illinois requires two party consent for recording in-person conversations at least.

Dirt is an aggregate material that contains plenty of feces. If I were your GM I’d allow it.

We’re all secretly longing for the macbook wheel that was leaked over 15 years ago:

Fred Rogers (of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood). For my generation, he helped to shape our views on kindness and compassion for humankind. He fought for public access funding in the United States. He helped break color barriers on television. He helped us enjoy jazz.

I have not encountered another media personality who was so genuinely invested in making sure that kids had the tools they needed to deal with the emotional parts of existence. I’m tearing up again thinking about how much he did for us.

You just described the vibe of Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”…

I’m hoping this is partly a Porno for Pyros reference.

If this offends your sensibilities then I can’t wait until you look at what someone did to C:

It is sad that this guy just can’t let go.

Honestly though, if he can preemptively put sufficient funds into escrow dedicated to managing all aspects of the site and engineering plans for digging with minimal perturbation of each waste cell, then let him have it*.

(* Escrow amount should be approximately $780m)

Yup. No matter how hard the PC tries, just pan over to the fireplace and fade to black: https://youtu.be/v7eJEsf11WM (had to include the obligatory Top Secret! clip)

And many of the elves preferred the cover of dense forests, caves, or both.

I think it depends on the table (and possibly the game). I’m playing in a game where the bad guys usually have their own timetables for doing things. If we as players get sidetracked, there’s the expectation that the bbeg continues with their plan unopposed. It’s also within reason that if the players are known to the bbeg, they will do things to keep us occupied / distract us.

With that said, if this is not what the table expects, then everyone needs to sit down and talk it over.

So when Gandalf said “fly, you fools” to the fellowship, he was ordering them to sprout wings and fly away?

I think the semicolons are correct too (though the colon you mentioned would add a lot of clarity). This grammar rule comes up infrequently enough that it can be jarring to encounter a semicolon before reaching the end of a properly formed independent clause.
