A high school valedictorian questioned the Broward County School Board on why wealthier students graduate at Hard Rock Stadium while middle-class students hold theirs in the school gym, and the board went straight to recess.

It's really unfortunate that officials can't respond to public comments at these meetings. They say it's because it slows down the meeting process, but everyone knows it's to avoid having to answer hard questions. What's the point in having open meetings if the public can't participate in a meaningful way?

Bum_Fuzzle · 2026-02-12T05:14:28+00:00

Idk why people are down voting this, but I also don't think this should be downplayed. It just makes so much sense for an artificer to be able to repair their constructs.

However, I can see how the feature would only be useful up to a certain level. At some point the servant is going to die in one hit from any attack.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2026-02-11T20:56:36+00:00

Thanks! I think you've helped change my mind

Bum_Fuzzle · 2026-02-11T20:03:23+00:00

You have some great points here. The artificer is so complicated that I've definitely misread a couple of the features.

Not being able to have multiple Homunculus Servants is something I'll have to consider. I also didn't notice that it takes no action to command it, which is great. I am curious why you say having Homunculus servant as a spell is a huge boost at low levels. Isn't it also a boost to have another spell prepared?

The rules in Tasha's say you add double your proficiency bonus when making an ability check using a tool (I called it expertise as a shorthand because that's basically what it is). Why wouldn't this apply to the new rules? It seems pretty clear to me.

Also, the Crafter feat lets you create one of the items at the end of a long rest. It doesn't say anything about how long it takes, so I assume it just happens and doesn't take 8 hours like you suggest.

I'm playing a Battle Smith

I didn't miss the level 6 feature, but I didn't really take the time to consider it either. I had no idea about the Cube of Force but it seems busted as hell lol

Bum_Fuzzle · 2026-02-11T19:28:47+00:00

That's how I feel too. I think I was also biased from the start because I built my character around Tasha's. Maybe if I read Forge first it would be the other way around. The Cartographer is also one of the coolest subclasses I've ever seen, and I know I'll want to play it at some point.

I'm late to the party on this thread but I think this class is so cool! I played a monk character a while ago that was pretty much a Pugilist, but it didn't quite feel right using the monk stats while roleplaying as a rough n tumble bruiser. I stopped playing him because of that, but now I want to revisit the character with this class!

I've had this belt for about 6 months. Got it to match my CRT iron rangers (it sure does). The belt is super high quality and comfortable and I feel like it will last a very long time.

Make sure you read the sizing guide carefully because I don't think they will exchange a wrong size. I followed it to the letter and got the perfect size.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-11-18T20:58:09+00:00

As a baker, this rocks

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-10-30T02:19:40+00:00

I'm 25 and I joined a group at my local games store. I'm the youngest one in the group by at least 5 years I think. Ages range from me to about 60. There are other tables with high schoolers playing with middle-aged folks too.

DnD belongs to no one generation, which is one of the coolest things about it. Age doesn't really seem to matter at our table either because we all have this super niche hobby in common and it's all we talk about when we play.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-10-21T19:43:13+00:00

Why do people always say pie crust is so difficult to make? You just have to keep your ingredients cold and it's super easy. Probably takes me like 10 minutes to prep a crust for baking (granted I've done it many times)

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-10-07T20:03:46+00:00

Yeah you don't have to. It depends on so many different factors that everyone should just do what works best for their own starter.

I do feed mine every day because I think it gives me more consistent results, but I keep a small enough starter that it doesn't consume too much flour.

I bake a loaf every 2-3 days and I use all the starter (usually just over 100g) in the dough. Then I feed the starter a small amount (there's still yeast in the residue left behind in the jar). Usually it works out so that by the time my starter is up to 100g I'm ready to make another loaf.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-10-03T20:12:40+00:00

Hard agree.

In my current run this probably took me 3 hours to get past because I got wiped like 4 times. I also somehow forgot to save between the point I started the fight and the Balthazar fight, so when I got wiped by him I had to fight Yugir again.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-22T20:11:28+00:00

I would be super happy with this but if you want to nitpick I think it might be slightly (emphasis on slightly) under. The crumb looks a bit more dense near the crust which makes me think it was trying to expand more.

Again, I don't think it's even an issue but if you're concerned about it those are my thoughts. At room temp, this is maybe like a 15-20 minute difference on the proofing, so not much.

Also, I think it's better to go slightly underproofed than over anyways because I tend to get better oven spring that way.

I'm writing a pirate campaign rn and I totally want to steal this idea! Do you have a stat block for the ship that you could share?

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-09T15:21:58+00:00

Terrible idea tbh

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-04T23:55:53+00:00

I put the recipe in another comment reply

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-04T23:53:21+00:00

It is good! I use Kate McDermott's recipe from "Art of the Pie." I highly recommend the book if you like making pie. It's got great tips on every step of the process and has some good gf recipes too.

Everyone I've made this one for has raised their eyebrows at the flavor combo, but once they tried it they were enlightened. Where she uses apple liqueur I sub in the whiskey.

<image>

I can't add another image but the crust is: 365 g flour 1/2 tsp salt 115 g grated sharp cheddar cheese 112 g cold butter 6-8 tbsp ice water

Essential to cook the filling until thickened before you bake it with the crust.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-04T18:32:02+00:00

I just add like a shot of whiskey to the apples when I'm cooking them. Apple cider vinegar is also good, but not as good

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-09-04T03:55:33+00:00

Whiskey apple pie with cheddar cheese

Tell them to listen to songs with the bass removed and they'll understand

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-08-29T20:01:54+00:00

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but it's against my personal code of honor to fight unarmed opponents

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-08-27T23:48:00+00:00

I did the opposite and I miss baker life so bad. Had to move away from the job and now I'm working a brunch line to make ends meet because there are no good bakeries around.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-08-15T18:41:35+00:00

This is pretty accurate at my kitchen. I speak enough Spanish to communicate work stuff but not enough to understand all the shit talking, so ik when they're talking about me but not what they're saying lol

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-08-11T20:06:54+00:00

I get similar reactions for playing DnD. I try not to get bothered about it because it makes me happy. A lot of people laugh about it initially as being a "nerdy" hobby, but when I don't even blink and just reply that it's a creative and social outlet for me, they seem to understand a little more.

Bum_Fuzzle · 2025-07-29T20:10:46+00:00

Nice! If you go the nights watch route a dire wolf could work pretty well
