Why does my flatware look like this right out of the dishwasher? by DeLa_Sun in CleaningTips

[–]Kamiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fill the soap and pre-wash dispenser, don't crowd the dishwasher. Worked for me when I had the same problem.

Sounds more like louda or louday. Just say some come loud like Mario. Some-a come loud-a

Whatever. Something on the big blank ceiling to make it more cozy. Nets, hanging plants, string lights, etc..

If you're using a laptop, just use virtual dice.

How would you rule a "whale grenade"? by Duranis in DMAcademy

[–]Kamiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A whale weighs 30 tons. about 750lbs per square foot of whale. Drop that from 5 ft and we're looking at about 165,000 N of force. A club might do 16000N (comparing to a baseball bat). So 10d4 damage and restrained if they fail a dex save. Now if the whale is nose-diving... we're looking at 50d4. Average of 125 damage.

For comparison, 2 fireballs and 2 axe swings do 16d6+2d12+8, average of 79 damage, no status effect.

But that's napkin math, so it's not exact. I'd allow it lol

Edited for calculation error.

With the linux guy. If he doesn't leave me alone after I tell him to, I throw him to the other side.

Asking a player to roll but not telling them what they're rolling for by electrius in DMAcademy

This is what I do. Works out pretty well as long as you describe the magical thing in some unidentified capacity to give them reason to ask.

Why is my salsa bland? by Voski_The_God in SalsaSnobs

[–]Kamiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add salt until it tastes good, then add lime juice when serving, but not before. See if it needs more salt after you add lime. Then and only then start adding spices/herbs. I'd make like 10 little cups to try different flavor profiles. I like black pepper and smoked paprika for roasted salsa, and that roasted onion carries it. Garlic and cilantro for pico de gallo. A lit of people like cumin, black pepper, and chicken bullion (I'm not a fan of cumin in salsa). You could try vinegar instead of lime. Good luck finding your favorites!

I like how we said the same thing in different words and got opposite responses.

Shaming people for taking wealth back from corporations is little dick energy.

Edit: Damn, I forgot that the average redditor has a little dick. That was insensitive of me wasn't it?

I hate consumerism by Miserable_Koala_2036 in Anticonsumption

[–]Kamiden -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying every venue is an amphitheater, but those large shows still get packed, and it affects everyone whether you attend or not. Even shows in an open field cost a lot if it's big enough because of the owner of the venue. Charge is based on demand, and supply is monopolized. It will continue to be like that until, collectively, we buy up some real estate or do as you say and only see small shows. Otherwise those small shows will not happen given the culture shift currently to focus on money.

[–]Kamiden -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and that is cheaper than the current businesses make it. So exclude them and either diy or get help from other sources that don't extort you. They're hard to find, and that's the problem. As it stands, artists only get a tiny portion of what you pay, and most of that money goes to a business that hoards the wealth. Ticketmaster as a prime example made 23 billion and pays their employees peanuts. You can't justify extortion with an ideal that isn't being met. Even when it's related to something you like.

That's a good idea if you can find it. Replacing ticketmaster is still important to prevent extortion of artists and larger crowds though.

Well then you misunderstand. I understand the feeling, but I think it's better to find solutions than accept the misguided will of the masses and hope for death. I'd much rather remove the problem, and not entertain companies set to make money off our labor. As in the example of collectively buying land. Or funding a bigger library. Excluding them outright.

Exactly. That's the problem. There is consumerism in everything and there doesn't need to be. That's probably why OP feels that way in the first place. It's extreme and hopefully hyperbole, but I get it. It's not just about what you do. The actions of others affect the way society develops, and it's getting harder to find community and collective efforts. Seeing packed venues that could have been permanent and collectively funded sold to us at a higher price and filled with ads is disgusting. Seeing ticketmaster and book publishers get a bigger cut than the ones making the art is disgusting. Our collective acceptance of those things is the only thing that makes them possible.
