    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...

    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...

    Social Meme Thread v104: Clown News & Dank Memes

    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.

    Someone put their balls in my Guinness

    I always pour my beer into a glass (or glass-like vessel), even when hanging out at a cook-out or pool. It just tastes better. I started this damn near 20 years ago and I encourage you to do this as well. I've gotten some funny looks and even a comment questioning my masculinity from one dude...

    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

    Someone put their balls in my Guinness

    I saw the "widget" first in Boddingtons, thought they were the first. Google says: In 1992, Boddingtons introduced the widget can and was one of the first beers to use this technology. When Boddingtons is canned, the combination of the carbon dioxide and nitrogen needed to create the head of...

    Social What is the Single Dumbest food item on earth?

    As a curious American I tried haggis and quite liked it. I tried from a fish & chips type place and from a sit down place with table clothes and wine. Both were good.

    Social “Hostile Architecture”

    So along one of the main throughfares there is a narrow, small, wooded area between that and a parallel smaller road. A year or two ago (hell, maybe it was pandemic times so 2019), I started noticing a splash of color between the trees that turned out to be a tent. Then a few tents, but never...

    Any long time fans feel like the UFC has lost its magic?

    Too expensive Times are too inconvenient. Events are drawn out, don't end until the wee hours (maybe same as #2) viewing is inconvenient - I have to flip between ESPN, ESPN+, and PPV All of those are more important than the added frustration that the top fighters are so inactive, but that's...

    This is from https://explodingtopics.com/blog/social-media-following I know it isn't the most popular sport in the US of A, but the GOAT (undeniable one of top 2) of the most popular global sport, having played in the top league in 5 different countries, winning 30 major trophies, 2 major...

    Sorry, but they were pictures on his phone. His FB stuff is from a Kickstarter he and his son started for gaming stuff. You'd be surprised at the lack of meticulous note taking when one slightly inebriated old DnD player meets another slightly inebriated old DnD player in a brewery.

    Crime IRS’s Most Wanted - The Middle Class is Targeted by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party

    The Clevers had a much smaller home than a median home today, and with fewer amenities. They only had one car and the boys shared a room. Here is the general info about homes. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/programs-surveys/ahs/working-papers/Housing-by-Year-Built.pdf And I googled...
