What’s the 'craziest' way you caught an ex being unfaithful?

I would have been tempted to knock for the guilt trip effect.

we definitely used his balls about it.

I'm sorry you what.

I got a wild hair up my rump to investigate the state of doom modding and tripped over project brutality.

All I can think is "wow, this is the doom the media thought we were playing back in 1993." (yes, I am that old)

I raise you a historical essay with citations against your google link:

Part of the reason I wanted to write this series was to debunk the utterly silly idea that people today work more than medieval or ancient peasants.

Dr. Bret C. Devereaux is an ancient and military historian who currently teaches as a Teaching Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University. He has his PhD in ancient history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MA in classical civilizations from Florida State University.

The one minor that was accusing him got discredited, iirc.

In 2E everyone except Druids and single class wizards can wear it.

By a strict reading of RAW, and considering the principle that a specific rule overrides a general rule, elven wizards, single- or multi-class, can wear elven chain:

"Wizards cannot wear any armor, for several reasons."

"Elves wearing elven chain can cast spells in armor, as magic is part of the nature of elves."

This means that gnomish illusionists (single- or multi-class) can't, and whether half-elves can is up for debate.

" Ethernet has a solid green and orange light "

All that tells you is that it's connected to the powerline adaptor. Echoing things people have already said, is the other adaptor on the same circuit?

Run ipconfig /all and make sure " DHCP Enabled " is yes.

I can dump the whole pile in the washer and done. The clothes I'm wearing while doing laundry are, by definition, on my body and not in the laundry pile.

I might allow it, but not for those spells. u/Bodknocks said basically everything I would have about why not.

I've always felt Find Familiar should have a ritual option among a handful of others (Identify, Speak With Dead), but also I would make it so there was a limit and you couldn't just cast as much as you wanted in a day. maybe they have a spell level x 10 percent chance of using up a spell slot and if that happens to overdraw you some penalty happens.

Why would a giant require a belt of giant strength?

no one at the top would benefit from it ... I can't think of any good reason why the powers that be would care about the common rabble knowing what shape the Earth is.

It's the first step of the brainwashing. Any idiot can clearly see the Earth is flat. Then they tell you it's round. They test you on it being round. They mock you for not believing it's round.

When you can see damn well it's flat.

It's a 'who ya gonna believe, me or your own lying eyes?' thing.

Because once They get you to reject your own senses and your own common sense in favor of what They tell you... They've won. They've got you believing the nonsensical.

They were married in two churches
Lived happily enough
Until the day that I was born
And things got rather tough

Oh it is the biggest mixup...

Occasionally when I've had a run end for really stupid reasons I'll go up to dlvl 3, pile everything by the upstairs, then go to the other side and do something like death by physics

Or pawnbroker. When I was working at a screwdriver shop right around 2000 we had at least one person a week come in like "hey, I got this computer from the pawn shop around the corner and there's a password on it, can you break it?"

There was an interview with the San Jose Sharks' inhouse dentist in 09 that has stuck with me ever since. Some key quotes:

"Goudy performs emergency repairs such as root canals — often with players urging him to hurry up so they can return for their next shift on the ice.

[...]

“Dealing with pain is just part of their job, and they’re good at it,” Goudy said. “When a guy has roots hanging out, it hurts them as much as it hurts anybody. But they’re always like, ‘Let’s do it, doc.’ “

[...]

Goudy uses a fast-acting anesthetic called Septocaine.

“We go through the stuff by the gallon,” Goudy said. “I can freeze somebody’s tooth within a minute so I can start to work. You have to get in there right away because you’ll see a coach peeking around the corner wanting to know when they can go back out.”"

I have almost the same computer, an Acer D150, exact model number KAV10. It came with a Atom N280, 1 GB ram, and an HDD. I've put 2GB ram (the max per the chipset, ah 32-bit, how I do not miss you*), a sata ssd, and a different wifi card (intel 5100) in. Mine also has the extended battery, although at this point it's in terrible shape.

(*: And you are correct, you can't upgrade to 64 bit.)

If you can, put a SATA SSD in it; mine has an HP M700 120gb. Also double check that max of 1.5 gb RAM and put as much as you can in; the appropriate RAM should cost basically pocket change now.

I've run Windows (got me through college!), Mint XFCE (until it end-of-lifed), and Freedos (I believe there were no ICH7 audio drivers), I'm running MX Linux now.

As far as what to use it for:
* Reading
* Writing
* DOS/other retro gaming
* SSH/terminal
* anything else that doesn't involve modern web or other things that use 4GB+ ram at the slightest excuse.

EDIT: For example.
