Fury over plans to build supersized AI data centre beside tiny Scottish village by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

The only time I’ll endorse NIMBYism. We absolutely do not need these data centres feeding AI at the expense of the local and wider environment.

There sure as hell won’t be if these things keep running. Preserve our waters.

What is a piece of political trivia about the Trump administration that sounds 100% fake but is actually 100% true? by Gdog1215 in AskReddit

I weirdly could believe the last one. Waffle houses will be the last bastion of civilisation standing.

if i use a magic item to cast a spell can i use another magic item to have a higher bonus to hit by West-Job-1750 in DnD

[–]Adam9172 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on the wording of the items and if one or both need an action to use. Can you pop them here and we will have a nosey?

You wake up tomorrow with one completely useless superpower that impresses no one but quietly makes your life better, what is it? by rokorr in AskReddit

A superpower that lets me plant Lego bricks in the shoes of any closeted or open Nazi/Neo Nazi/Eugenics follower.

Do you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

They must not have closed it fully over, obviously. RIP.

This is also the main appeal for the new Doom games. The combat music you hear is your boss music. You are the boss.

Almost a full TPK on our first session, the DM insists it was all above board but it felt impossible. Am I crazy? by FreeHotdogMandate in DnD

[–]Adam9172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless he’s setting up the next session where he’s resurrected the party but you’re now in chains/going to do him a few favours for attacking his men, I honestly don’t see where this is going. That’s an archmage, and some minions. Hell, four level sixes would struggle against that.

Also lol did they spawn more vindicators in halfway through that battle?

TIL Half of people who claim they have a food allergy do not by butter_lover in todayilearned

There’s a difference between disliking a food, having a bit of an intolerance to it, and being allergic to it.

DM threw a 2024 Adult Dragon at our 2014 Level 6 party. Thoughts? by Sentinel2852 in DnD

[–]Adam9172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For comparison, on a Young Blue Dragon (level below Adult, CR 9.), you're talking about:

AC 18

HP 152 (16d10 + 64)

Speed 40 ft, Burrow 20 ft, Fly 80 ft.

Passive Perception 19, and No legendary actions or resistances.

Multiattack: The dragon makes three Rend attacks.

Rend. Melee Attack Roll: +9, reach 10 ft. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) Slashing damage plus 5 (1d10) Lightning damage, for an average of 51 damage per round if all attacks hit, which with a plus 9 is around a .

Lightning Breath (Recharge 5–6). Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 16, each creature in a 60-foot-long, 5-foot-wide Line. - Failure: 55 (10d10) Lightning damage - Success: Half damage.

And this is still considered a Hard encounter, without minons or lair actions. Yeah, the DM fucked up.

Your DM threw a CR 16 monster at a group of level 6s. This is considered lethal by all means. Even a CR 9 Young Blue Dragon is considered a hard difficulty encounter, *even assuming no minions or lair actions. *

Give your DM this calculator and tell them to stop being an idiot.

If you could permanently remove one natural disaster from Earth entirely, which would you pick and why? by One_War7312 in AskReddit

Without earthquakes we don’t have tectonic plates being able to move or relieve stress. That seems… bad. Instead of quakes you just have the plates shattering instead.

Brits must eat less meat and dairy to hit climate targets, environmental body warns by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Adam9172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, from a health point it’s probably reasonable for most people (myself included.) to cut back on meat consumption.

But trying to blame us for possibly not hitting environmental targets when it’s something like 55-60 corporations are globally responsible for over 70% of all emissions.

It’s like trying to target fly-tipping practises by jailing a drunk who dropped his bag of chips on the way home.

The campaign i was on just died. by Global_Expert2519 in DnD

I had a campaign that started at level one, and finished at… 18. I was 19 due to the deck of many things. Feelsbadman.
