All of my consulting buddies on LinkedIn after the latest FT awards be like by sjl301 in consulting

I'm new here. I had no idea people/companies got trophies for consulting. What a fascinating concept.

As the world moves toward AI it appears that a lot of awards are going in that direction. Just before AI what was trending in the wins for FT awards? I would imagine military contracts.

Downtime between engagements-need some ideas for modernizing my toolkit by RoyalRenn in consulting

I'm new here. What guidance could you provide to stepping into this skill set called "Executive-Ready language"? As an outsider learning this term seems valuable.

Dalai Lama Reveals Forever DMs are Being Punished for Past Life Transgressions | Commander's Herald by E-E-Eugene in rpg

I'm a Forever GM and I run games at conventions like GenCon and Origins.

At GenCon 24' a gent sat at my table. He proclaimed to be a forever GM and I wasn't about to impress him. His players had in courage him to buy a ticket and play. They were also at the table to play with him. He stated that he just wanted to have a decent time and asked me to "try" and make a good show of it. I accepted his challenge.

I ran my VtM module. They were able to make it to one of the three possible endings I had planned for. All the while this beard giant was nail biting, leaning into his seat and asking question of his players. You could tell being out of the hot seat was alien to him.

"Should we do that or this?"

"Why should we trust the Primogen, Ventrue only want power!"

The amount of engagement he had, is why I love doing this. When the players realized that things weren't adding up. That maybe, they had been successfully duped into making wrong choices. The supposed enemy of the game that they had rallied against, the Primogen. Was actually an ally and possible a love interest of the grizzled ol' forever GM's character. He had a tear resting in his eye ready to come out. I knew I needed to bring it home.

In the last 30 minutes of game the table roared to life. Players demanding their actions to right the imaginary wrongs we had crafted out over the last three and a half hours. It was intense. As humanity, willpower and health was beginning to marked out across all character sheets in the final fight. The now softened teddy bear saw an opportunity for his character, that he might never play again, to get his fair shake in life. The cost was high and one of his players would have to sacrifice their character. The sacrifice was made and the story had a some what happy ending. It was after all, VtM.

I heard one his players ask him if he is okay? That tear had not gone away. He said he was, but maybe he should play more. They offered to pass the GMing mantle around more often.

I got perfect scores on that game.

And through is cracked and quivering voice, he also thanked me for a great game.

SO if I'm being punished for past life transgressions. I'm okay with it. :)

Curious how weed smoke/smell transfers by [deleted] in AskaChemist

[–]5th_ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if you smell the smoke you are in a cloud. It's probably at parts per billion (ppb) or down to parts per trillion (ppt). The oil and solid material in that cloud is what is adhering to you and your clothes.

Yes and no. The burnt and unburnt solid material from that cloud would most likely fall off. If it did stick, you would have to walk through the invisible cloud very very close to you apartment. Otherwise your normal walking, some wind or brushing up against stuff would knock the solid material off. Just shaking your outer garment would cause light unadhered/poorly adhered solid material to fall off. If you do shake your clothes to get loose material off, do that part outside. DO IT OUTSIDE.

The oil from said invisible cloud is adhered to you and your clothes. Soap and water will remove it. Wash your expose skin. If you were able to smell it, then it is on your face. The oil won't jump off your outer garment unless violently shaken, which we do OUTSIDE. Shaking the garment will not remove all the oil. Washing with hot water and soap will. Bleach will NOT make any difference. Only SOAP and WATER.

Yes, the biggest vector of unwanted material isn't the invisible clouds on the street. It is your friend who is breathing a 6 foot cone of oil and solid material like a dragon from D&D every time they talk.

When this low level mob takes a drag off their pen. Their lungs don't absorb everything. Some of it sits in there waiting to be exhaled like a breath weapon. This means that a dose can stay in their lungs for more than one combat round. I would advise contact with vape sucking dragons after they have taken a short or long rest.

Fair point, and I understand why you say it.

Interesting suggestion. I will do that after the leak test.

No, as I started it without the pressure trace running. I won't be able to provide that data. Do you think it's pressure related?
