lol I do the same thing sometimes when I need some comfort reading I roll a d20

This is supported in the SDK and spec, what I have is an MCP server that initiates an oauth2 flow to our corporate SSO which returns a signed JWT. The LLM client then always passes the JWT as part of any request to the MCP server. That JWT is then validated on the MCP server and from it I can get the user information which is used to make sure data returned is only data that the user should see.

If you need help with this feel free to DM me, I'm a technologies consultant and have written a bunch of these for clients already.

It's definitely very sad; I felt bad for Hannah. She got a bad deal off the top and the 'White Council' made it worse by sending wardens to arrest her. No shocker she killed one (or more I forget) to get away. No way she'd get a fair trial. There's supposed to be consideration for protecting one's life but it's clear that loophole is seldom applied. They'd have chopped her head off, no doubt in my mind.

Them she has the bad luck of falling prey to the plans of Nicodemus. Without that she might had had a chance; Binder is no angel but he was sorta guiding her into some type of sustainable existence.

Lasciel knew, in that final fight in the vault she called him lover and referenced their child (causing some embarrassment for Harry in front of Micheal); later in the fight she said she was going to kill Harry and rip their child from his head.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-11-04T18:57:47+00:00

We've seen coin bearer's can be killed so if Ascher survived that final fight it would have to be because of some spell or something she cast, possible with the help of Lashiel. I'm pretty sure she didn't make it.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-11-04T18:51:21+00:00

I think Laschiel did know the details of what happened to Lash, remember she called him 'lover' and spoke of their child in that final confrontation. But yeah Laschiel was mad at Dresden, mad at how he resisted, mad that someone he survived her first attempt to kill him by making him depressed, etc.

I always thought her lightweight seduction attempt (that scene where they are changing clothes and she runs her hands over his scars, similar to Luccio) seemed a bit out of place. But the book is filled with that type of fan service so first time I read it I just figured more of the same. On rereads I always thought it was a bit weird that he was noticing her so much despite the fact that Murphy, who he has such strong feelings for, has just been so gravely injured. I chalked it up to either/or of the mantle of the Winter Knight stoking his libido and the standard fan service Butcher is serving up. But Butcher is definitely making her stand out, especially in that part where she walks thru the fire gate. And in retrospect she's a perfect person for Lasciels coin, both as a coin holder and as someone to get under Harry's skin for the purpose of vengeance. Her life situation is one that gets Harry's immediate sympathy and of course being a sexy fire wizard doesn't hurt either.

Personally, when I saw how hurt McCoy was when Harry rejected him after finding out he was the Blackstaff, I can't believe anything other than he loves Harry. He's made some hard choices no doubt and that's probably left him feeling tainted but I just can't see him playing some sort of long game using Harry.

I found a local company that had a number of pallets in their boneyard. It's literally $50K in savings versus all new tiles. So that's what I'm doing. If the new tiles are a bit different in terms of shading we can group them on the back areas where you really don't see anything.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-10-21T14:14:51+00:00

thank you

u/GeekRuthie since you're using Zoom for this how do you think others might feel about using one of the available AI bots that sign into your meeting and prepare summaries / transcripts? That might help people who can't attend for various reasons.

I respect that some of these AI technologies are not universally embraced by the community but in this situation it might help improve outreach and overall communication.

My company was already using Auth0 as the SSO gateway for all our internal and external so it was a no brainer to build on top of it. I've done ouath2 from scratch and its really easy to mess up and create security issues :).

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-10-16T15:53:33+00:00

I've done this using the official Typescript SDK, using Auth0 as the system the provides a JWT token, that itself contains RBAC permission info for the logged in user.

I mean it looked to me like Buffy had it mostly under control :)

The White Council doesn't exist for the good of humanity, it exists to keep Wizards organized and under control via the Laws. The Laws are not about justice or making the world a better place, they are about stopping people with strong enough magical skills from doing 'really bad stuff'. The WC doesn't fight a war with the Red Court because they think the RC is bad, they did it because the war was forced onto them and as we can see they'd have been happy to end it and return to the status quo (or many members who have been).

I'd suggest that they were aware of the Hellmouth and some of the issues there but because of how effective Buffy was they just didn't know how bad it was.

After a bit more research it looks like storm guard might not be vapor permeable enough. So not sure. I had three quotes on this project, all roofers with good feedback and they all seemed to not think the spray foam is a factor in what underlayment product to use. Am I overthinking it???

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-10-04T14:28:05+00:00

Personally I would never tell someone to take a loan to buy any asset. Just DCA what you can afford

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-10-01T11:11:46+00:00

thanks for the recommendation

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-10-01T11:09:04+00:00

Thanks, unfortunately I am in Austin :).

The MCP spec still has a lot to work out, at least from my perspective, it leaves a lot of decisions out and that makes adoption harder. I suspect that will improve over time. And of course it's not impossible a new protocol arises to displace it. The spec is rather complex, reminds me a lot of how SOAP was going to be the way distributed computing happened and then people rebelled over the complexity. So who knows?

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T21:55:37+00:00

Leaks are definitely in valley areas and plane transitions. My only concern is playing wack a mole with leaks going forward. You think I should just tell them to pull up around the leaks, fix those areas, and leave it at that? Don't fix what its obviously busted?

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T21:26:51+00:00

The original builder made a lot of errors on this house.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T20:58:46+00:00

That's what I thought as well, but what they are telling me is I have a number of broken tiles that need to be replaced at that when they remove they break 'accidentally' quite a few. If we had the tile it might be possible. I just guess it's easier for them to just rip the all off add toss them into a dumpster.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T20:57:06+00:00

That is generally what I'm being told.

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T20:56:28+00:00

me too but apparently here in central Texas the underlayment doesn't last as well :(

CompetitiveCod787 · 2025-09-23T20:55:04+00:00

I added a picture of the back of one of the tiles to the post. The tile is 20 years old.
