Szass Tam did nothing wrong

I’m reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. Some great progression fantasy, currently on book 5, Ghostlight.

It’s a safety procedure: if equipment is faulty, you lock the controls with a special device to render it unusable until it is serviced, and a tag accompanies the lock to show when the service call was placed. If locking is impossible, just the tag will suffice.

I gotta start using that!

German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies. They had that model forced upon them, and fought for change and economic freedom. There was a freaking wall dividing their country over that.

Don’t shitpost on good discussion please.

Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That’s when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.

You’re definitely thinking of T1, or health class and the Internet lied to me all my life. Come to think of it…

But for sure you can get T2 from making unhealthy choices with sugar consumption.

This is a top tier meme format for music communities. Making me need to dive into more game OSTs.

If anyone is on the hunt for good ones, Brad Derrick did some incredible work for Elder Scrolls Online. It’s all fantasy sounds, but an excellent source of ambience for the TTRPG player. A two album set for the base game, and an album for each expansion. It’s some 10 hours of solid work!

It did just that for me, gets those creative juices flowing!

Ok, I get this, but let’s take a closer look:

Have you ever seen such a high resolution Pikachu meme? Such a shame it’s been wasted on more political rhetoric that no one asked for. More pixels in the damn quotes text, how wild!

If you’re looking for a TTRPG and not wanting to worry about the lfg hassle, check out Ironsworn! Grimdark low fantasy, playable in solo or co-op. Just takes some getting used to, and reading lots of player advice, but playing solo become very easy if you already have that rpg brain leading the way. Also free materials online, but I bought the core rules and the “dungeon” expansion hardcopies for about $50 (USD).

I’ve since converted a couple of things and am solo playing to beef up the plot of a book I’m writing in a world I’ve been working on for about 5 years. Makes that process engaging for the gamer side of me!

Can’t help you with the bees, I’m afraid…

I’m a department manager where I work, so not very high on the ladder, but I run a 14 person team. That being said, I get where you’re coming from. I’d never try to be my employee’s friend, though I am most certainly friendly. I might grab a beer with one or two of them every now and again (usually on me, as why not?)

It’s a hard line to tow, as I’d like to think of myself as a pretty agreeable person that wants to connect with people, and I’ve done that to an extent with my team. It has made certain work facets difficult though, especially “behavioral notices” and the like.

Thanks, that means a lot! Love that imagery for sure.

I originally had it in mind to do those as lyrics, but sort of lost the thread in terms of what’s “supposed” to be played underneath them. Was tinkering with the just the chords, but decided to post. I might give it another shot before the Wednesday.

[Phase] (Folk?) [Themed]

New to posting, new to music creation. I’ve always loved instruments, but have only recently started to take any playing seriously. This is a stick dulcimer I’m playing, sort of a light weight version of the standard instrument.

Have always loved looking at the moon, gave the “song” a whistful vibe. Instrumental, though I wrote a poem to accompany it, in the description of the song on SoundCloud. Only a minute long, but this is the first thing of this sort I’ve done before.

A bit of an early upload, but I’d love to hear tips on what I could be doing differently.

Not sure I’m going to support it when there all plenty of decent free third party apps. Been using Jerboa since I made the switch, and have enjoyed the interface quite a bit.

I just can’t get behind the idea of paying for the ad free experience. Still support the developer, but it better not be like Sync’s $20.

Yes! I love my work, even though most people hate retail. I’m in a grocery store deli, and getting people food they like and them coming back saying I offered good recommendations just makes my day!

I’m the manager, and even I still struggle a bit with money at times, all the while trying to save for a house. Not easy out here, but certainly wouldn’t want to stop working.

Ah, so even the “landed gentry” made the migration… /s

That anxiety bit is too true, it has me fairly despondent when I think about it too long. It’s fair assertion you make, for sure.

Nah, existential is spot on

Relating to existence

Seems all too apropos in this context.

Thanks for the solid source! I do understand the need for keeping the discussion real, but the article clearly states,

…concluded that to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of climate change-related deaths…

Sounds pretty existential to me, at a scale we have never experienced.
