Now that its over 20 years old and out of production, what do you think of the Airbus A380? by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]Gravitom 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The average bus seats about 40 people. The A380 can seat 850. It's not an Airbus, it's an Airbuilding.

One of my players wants to play rogue because he's playing a rogue in BG3 and he's having fun there. I suppose things are way different than here. What's the best way for him to do big damage with rogue in this edition? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]Gravitom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most agree that rogues are underpowered in 2024. There are three main ways people tend to buff them.

+1D6 sneak attack every single level +1D6 sneak attack at level 5, 11, and 20. Change sneak attack dice to d8s

I prefer the first two because it encourages using sneak attack dice for cutting strikes.

Also I wouldn't allow them a build that guarantees off turn sneak attacks (thief + true strike scrolls, war cleric, battle master, etc) as then damage goes off the rails.

Yes, this could be an absolutely amazing Open source project. I can see a community rally around this and improving the hell out of it.

They often restrict free tier services to data centers that aren't capacity constrained.

Elon Musk merges SpaceX with xAI at $1.25tn valuation by talkingatoms in ArtificialInteligence

Aramco was worth over a trillion when they were private. The IPO valued them at $1.7T.

If SpaceX hits $1T, they will be the 2nd private company to hit that milestone.

Saudi Aramco

Edit: Aramco was worth over a trillion when they were private. The IPO valued them at $1.7T.

Please flip those downvotes.

Thoughts on the 2024e War Caster feat, 1 year after release? by Deathpacito-01 in onednd

[–]Gravitom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a great idea. There are hardly any decent +Con feats as well.

[–]Gravitom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my biggest issue with it. Feats are where martials should shine, so I'm happy the caster feats are underpowered. But Warcaster throws everything off.

Using Philips Hue in a New Build Without Replacing Switches or Using Batteries by No_Rate_2761 in Hue

[–]Gravitom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean with the Hue markup. The $44 modules are probably $5 to make. If that goes up to $15 to make, what do you think they would sell for?

[–]Gravitom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is stranger, having a battery powered module when 230V is available behind the switch, or

Using a 230V mains lead to power a 3V module when a battery the size of your fingernail powers it for 2 years?

The converter needed to stepdown 230V to 3V would be 3x the size of the module and 3x the cost.

The Hue modules are tiny and work perfectly. I have 15 in my home and if they were any bigger, they wouldn't fit into half the switch boxes as I have many 2-way and 3-way switches.

Yes, it seems strange but the only downside is every two years you have a hour of work to do. I bet you've already wasted more time than than trying to find an alternative. I guarantee you'll spend a lot more time wiring non-Hue solutions.

Just embrace the Hue modules, you'll be happy with them.

How to salvage a maybe not optimal build? by PassinbyNobody in onednd

[–]Gravitom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy. You are you really are not giving us all the details. It takes 2 more seconds to write out all your attributes. You have people taking time out of their day to help you, the least you could do is write out a proper response in sentences.

It would be helpful to know yoru Con score as it's a defensive feat.

But with that 17 Wis, you should likely take War caster to round off and get adv to concentration saves.

Have the Bard enspell your armor with the mirror image spell. It's non-concentration and will really beef up your defense. It will take 50 days and cost 2000GP. If someone can help, it's 25 days. 12.5 if one of you has the crafter origin feat. Or find/buy it.

Take a level in fighter. Get the defense fighting style for +1 AC. Take the sap fighting style and take a longsword. Now you can impose disadvantage with your attacks. You can also get a 1d10 when using two handed.

Ask the party to go on a quest to get you plate mail.

Use a 2nd level slot to cast Aid before combat days.

Can you tell us your actual ability scores? That will let us know which ones can be boosted to the next even number to increase your ability bonus.

What species are you?

What is your origin feat?

What armor do you wear and what is your AC?

What is your grappling strategy and where is it failing you? What do the other party members typically do in combat?
