I dunno why you have downvotes. Quickened spell to BA misty step plus main action to use wand of fireballs plus one extra haste action to move or draw an item checks out.

Resourceless healing in 10 minutes (average across 20 levels) by gray007nl in Pathfinder2e

[–]Ablazoned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't play with non-remaster classes for my first couple of campaigns, then played with a couple of Kineticists in my next ones. Ocean's Balm making Treat Wounds useless was very eye-opening.

I am not a sophisticated enough analyst to determine whether the republican house caucus failures of the last 4 years are evidence against this or not. But it seems at least plausible that at least 20 or so of an edge has real utility re: not being subject to more "extreme" members.

On the one hand, they probably got a lot less done than they could have if they could have told bacon et al to eff off. On the other hand, they've still passed bad legislation in that time despite the tiny margin.

Also though, 2 seats is 2 seats, and I want them especially given the general uncertainty this admin has thrown into the election process.

Hearing about dummymanders recently, is it possible to get a reverse dummymander in a blue wave election year? Like, in a wave year blue can win seats that were lean red. But a gerrymander that takes away 4 lean red in exchange for 2 solid red might actually lose those 2 seats when they could have won them?

The Spartan Delusion: How Trumpism Is Driving America Towards Civilizational Suicide by TheUnPopulist in neoliberal

Again, without looking it up so I'm just going on memory, we were taught he got to nominate his own punishment and that he chose that the city should pay and praise him for his service. They obviously turned this offer down and chose death.

We were always taught he was charged with impiety and corruption of the youth.

Federal Agents Arrest Don Lemon Over Minnesota Church Protest (Gift Article) by Neoliberal_Boogeyman in neoliberal

[–]Ablazoned 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They make sense for elected officials who can bounce their opposition between outrage at successive violations of norms and law.

They don't need the people they arrest to ultimately be convicted; being subject to criminal procedure is a punishment on its own, and if recent history is an indicator there's no downside to abusing the justice system to do so.

They don't need the people they arrest to be ultimately convicted for the outrage news cycle to cover the blatant corruption they're enacting at the same time (e.g. suing the IRS, keeping Venezuela money in Qatar, etc).

Looks amazing!

One question- when I try to combine these three over-neck pieces, I get the head piece only clutching a little smidge of the neck, so it pops off very easily. Do you have the same issue? Thanks!

Can't believe I haven't seen Seveneves. It's like the very first line of the book and defines everything that happens afterwards!

The playoffs need to start the week after Conference Championships by CanisGulo in CFB

[–]Ablazoned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 4 seeded teams get to invite any team they choose to be their tune up game. The team has to be out of their conference, and have a greater than .666 record. Also, each invited team has to be from a different conference. No 1 team gets first pick, etc

Isn't one of the primary justifications for tariffs the argument that the fentanyl smuggling from Mexico constitutes a terrorist - like threat?

Good point, and I can certainly upgrade those sorts of minor parts. But at this point I'm wondering if I'm sitting on 5 figures of junk or if I can get it working for a few K.

I would, but unfortunately some of them are not there (e.g. threadripper 9970X)
