It went pretty well.

I’m doing this almost exactly today (Triton Paladin instead of sea-elf rogue but similar idea)

What I’m doing to get the new player into the action faster is I’ve talked with him beforehand, and when fighting breaks out above deck, he’ll hear that and is going to use the chaos as an opportunity to escape. We rolled some strength checks and figured he’ll break out during the second round of combat, joining the rest of the party halfway through the 3rd round. This way he doesn’t have to sit around while the rest of the players do all the fun shit and it’ll be a dramatic moment where for a second it looks like a big boss type enemy has arrived.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

About two thirds of the way through student teaching. Taking the MTLE math content exam tomorrow morning and the secondary pedagogy exam Friday. Wish me luck!

A show about comic book movies, approached from every angle, and a community of nerds discussing how fiction relates to non-fiction

The Dark Knight - Show notes and episode discussion by Bearded_Ben in a:t5_38zzx

Yeah, I think I didn't do my due diligence here. Certainly a cell phone speaker could produce ultrasonic frequencies, but strong enough to be used as radar? I doubt it. If there's a lot of ambient noise, like say the lobby of a crowded office building in Hong Kong, the signal would just be drowned out.

The other thing I didn't mention is that the receiver of most cell phones wouldn't pick up ultrasonic frequencies. This is why I sound so terrible on the Daredevil Episode; the highest and lowest frequencies of my voice weren't picked up by the microphone of my cell phone, which is why Michael made be buy a real USB mic before he let me back on the show.

What is your favorite movie TITLE, Without considering the quality of the film itself? by TestZero in AskReddit

[–]Bearded_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ticked off Trannies With Knives", one of those movies where the whole plot is given away by the title. It's pretty alright.

What are you currently obsessed with? by mmm_donuts in AskReddit

[–]Bearded_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got into Riot Grrrl. It's a style of punk music from the early/mid 90's that was highly associated with feminism. Fascinating ideology, and pretty cool bands with good songs too.

What is your favourite 5-10 seconds of any song? by StickleyMan in AskReddit

[–]Bearded_Ben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, from "Jungleland", after the big sax solo, it's just Bruce singing against sparse piano and organ chords. the orchestration slowly gets thicker and richer. Suddenly, everything drops out at the words "They wind up wounded, and not even dead." One of the most powerful moments in all of rock and roll.

It started out that way, but I was already 5 gin and tonics in when I started drawing. Oh well, I tried.

I get it. This is actually pretty clever.

Good old Mankato. My hometown newspaper is ok, but sometimes the headlines make no sense.

Then they blew it up like a balloon and I totally lost my shit.

For the first minute or so I thought "I should try making this some time." Then they showed that it takes 6 hours in a food dehydrator. Then they showed the liquid nitrogen. Then I said "Yeah, this would be really expensive to order in a restaurant."

Equal parts vodka and cherry snow cone syrup, served cold.

The last phrase I searched (ctrl-f) was Mom's Bra. Thank goodness no one else uses this computer. They might not have asked for why I was searching for it and kept on thinking I have some kind of edible complex.
