    Social Who have you spent the most time with in your life?

    I thought this was about examining the work-life balance type of thing. Yes, I lived with my mom from birth to 18, but she was at work, I was at school or with friends a lot - so the "with" would be like half that. In the intervening 38 years' time with my mom has been much less. My wife and I...

    Lock washers suck

    You have to tighten it enough to compress it, then it acts like a spring and pushes against the nut and whatever to make it harder to turn. There shouldn't be "empty space". From https://www.huyett.com/blog/lock-nuts-lock-washers Split Lock Washers, which are also called helical spring lock...

    It was better than the haters are saying but doesn't rise to better than mediocre.

    Odd Question: How do you feel about couple's with Downs Syndrome having children?

    I'm not dismissing the trials and tribulations that SOME people who chose not to contribute to society, or at least be responsible for themselves, but I absolutely believe in self-determination. Everyone choses how they interact with the world, you can treat others with a modicum of respect and...

    Odd Question: How do you feel about couple's with Downs Syndrome having children?

    While I don't think it is a good idea, we don't place any kind of limit on any of the other groups that could end up being horrible parents. Nor do we (or any society that I'm aware of) require a license, training, references, or any qualifications for people who procreate. I used to be...

    Television Wait ... so X-Men's Onslaught was hated by fans?

    Yes, I hated Onslaught. Xavier secretly being an evil villain with ill-defined physical abilities that equal his mental ones. And why do his telepathic powers seem to grow exponentially if he's the bad guy. They did Xavier as a baddie before, and it sucked then too. Cassandra Nova is a twist...

    The Dungeons and Dragons Megathread v2

    @Thrawn33 @MusclesMarinara So last night was eventful. I crushed a series of rolls for investigation, persuasion, and some I'm sure I forgot, but I was able to locate a fence, arrange a meeting and get above kelly blue book. I also located several ingots of a certain ore my artificer friend uses...

    The Dungeons and Dragons Megathread v2

    Other gems is a good option. There is always a spell calling for gem-stones of a certain value. As I said, the necklace is viewed as mine, but since the others have been good companions, I'm considering ways to share it out to repay some perceived debts.

    The Dungeons and Dragons Megathread v2

    We haven't RP'd it yet, but one of my skills involves haggling. But I am considering at least a partial trade for materials for our artificer to use. I like the ingot option.

    The Dungeons and Dragons Megathread v2

    The necklace is mostly emeralds but valued at 10,000 gp. My concern is for when I convert it to coin, how do I realistcally carry the coins? https://5thsrd.org/adventuring/equipment/coins/ and the PH say 50 coins is a pound, sooo 10,000 gold / 50 coins per pound = 200 pounds, which is actually...

    The Dungeons and Dragons Megathread v2

    @MusclesMarinara @Thrawn33 Do you guys use encumbrance rules? We have pretty much ignored them in our games, but in tonight's game my rogue is going to fence a 10k gp necklace I filched a while back and while I'm sure my DM won't make a big deal of it, I think it could be fun to overcome those...

    I wasn't gonna comment, but in the absence of rigorously collected experimental data I'm going to fall back on a lifetime of anecdotal evidence. My turds are much larger and exponentially denser than my man juice. The plumbing can hang.

    ...to do this as well. I've gotten some funny looks and even a comment questioning my masculinity from one dude for my insistence on this, but hey f*#k you. We were playing poker and smoking cigars at 1am in my friends garage/man cave, but my beer glass with my 9% abv Belgian ale made me...

    Someone put their balls in my Guinness

    Well hell, all from the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boddingtons_Brewery Boddingtons remained independent until 1989, when Ewart Boddington sold Strangeways Brewery and the Boddingtons brand (but not the tied estate) to Whitbread for £50.7 million.[44] Success was attributed to an...

    Someone put their balls in my Guinness

    So perusing your linked article, I was prepared to concede that Guiness was the innovators, but further investigation on the internet says it was neither. A museum of plastics says it was Whitbread. https://www.modip.ac.uk/artefact/aibdc-008998
