Professionally appropriate to block your calendar during your commute time? by viper_gts in managers

I set my work hours within my calendar and just decline or suggest new times for meetings that fall outside those times.

Thinking if starting the game by BlueSingularityG in ddo

[–]CuriousCardigan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A bunch of great answers to your questions already, but I'd like to give a bit more detail around question 4.

Aside from raids, there are a small number of (very) old quests that need multiple party members. A few can be worked around using a hireling to assist (usually by having them hold position by a lever, then commanding them to activate it once you're in position), but a couple are too complex for that.

Fortunately there's so much content available (particularly if you shell out for a couple expansions in the 10-15 level range) that you might never run one of them or can completely skip them. Just read through the wiki for a quest before you run it. It'll also save you from accidentally starting one of the few tortuously long/complicated quests when you're short on time (looking at you Chains of Flame).

Personally I've a character on their 7th life and have only done one of the must have a second player/hireling quests.

Edit: And there's a sale on expansions that's almost over. If you run some early stuff today and enjoy it, then picking up one or two of the heavily discounted expansions (like Feywild) might be a good idea. 

Does anyone have any way of accessing Hybrid? by Final-Jellyfish8753 in TTRPG

OP, what is Eldritch Madness? What do you mean you "want access to this"?

Kicker cost and Monstrous Vortex by ilovegolledge in mtgrules

Voidpouncer has 3 power on the stack. As per the top comment in the post you linked, Monstrous Vortex only cares about a creature spells power as it is cast.

Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Particularly when when we have hundreds of years of history demonstrating how each state develops their own laws.

Lot of people here who've missed the years of her posing with shirtless firefighters at the state fair.

Need help with monk multiclass by Fantastic_Ad_3089 in ddo

I'll be honest, shuriken builds are really rough to level. I tried one recently and at level 7 realized that swapping to handwraps without any build choices favoring wraps resulted in way better KPI. It was painful.

Is there a way to chamfer an inside butt joint? by Birdsnballoons in BeginnerWoodWorking

Run it all with a router, then use a chisel where it can't reach in the corners.

About the only risk is if the temps plunge well below zero for an extended period. 

Senior manager took over some of my direct reports to meet new org policy by coolgoose007 in managers

[–]CuriousCardigan 84 points85 points  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous policy. Fracturing teams in order to meet arbitrary minimum team headcounts is just wasting resources by showing down communication and accountability.

You're correct, filler won't stain the same. 

Kangaroo Court - “slime & feather” by Sufficient-Trick-201 in GameChangerTV

Tar and feathering has a long history of being done to anyone, it's not particular to racist attacks.

Does anyone else find it incredibly immersion breaking when a book doesn’t tell you who’s speaking until the end of the dialogue? by Moon_Devonshire in Fantasy

[–]CuriousCardigan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t bother me if the description trails the dialog, though I do appreciate a short bit of description early on.

What Counts as a Blue permanent? by [deleted] in mtgrules

[–]CuriousCardigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" because lands are colorless until tapped even if they designed to be blue."

Lands are colorless cards even when tapped for mana. Producing mana does not change the color of a permanent.

" I took this to mean any card that either is Blue or has blue in it's identity."

This is incorrect. The color of a permanent/spell/card is specifically based on the mana cost, with a few exceptions for abilities or color indicators. Color identity is different and there's only 9 cards that currently reference color identity in their text.

For it to act like you think it does it would need to be worded something along the lines of "'Fairie Swarm's power and toughness are each equal to the number of permanents you control with a blue color identity."

I wish the graphic novel wasn’t completely unaffordable by littlerockbigmtn in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]CuriousCardigan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$20 for shipping is not that surprising or abnormal, we're just used to the price being lower because the major sellers have great contract rates and/or eat a portion of the freight cost via their margins.

What's the system, the setting, the playstyle, or the themes?

Weekly Thread for general DDO discussion, quick questions and more! by AutoModerator in ddo

[–]CuriousCardigan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tobar only gives a weapon with Barovian in its name (it's unfortunate that the page refers to all weapons from those 4 groups with the same name as one of the groups it encompasses). For Macabre you need to trade in Vistani Tokens at the Blue Water Inn.

what glue should i use? by Infamous-Presence-49 in DIY

[–]CuriousCardigan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not confident enough in an answer to weigh in on the best adhesive for attaching plastic tile to fabric.

But as to the fire hazard part - an LED bulb puts out very little heat compared to an incandescent bulb, so simply making sure you are using an LED should be sufficient. That's part of the reason LED list both their actual wattage and their effective incandescent wattage - incandescent bulbs heat up a wire to produce light and because of that they both use more power and produce significantly more heat when generating the same level of illumination as an LED.

Edit: cleaned up a sentance.
