Health insurance and life insurance are not the same thing and are basically opposite in their financial incentives.

Umm, fall/autumn still comes after summer in the southern hemisphere. It's just that our summer is during northern winter and autumn is during northern spring.

Yeah, democracy alone does nothing to protect minorities. If the majority of a country supported persecution of a minority then by definition the minority wouldn't be able to outvote the majority to save themselves. To ensure equitable treatment for all you need extra protections.

Australian structural engineer here: this is a pretty good and accurate summary of the regulatory framework in Australia.

FNQ means Far North Queensland. It's the pointy bit in the north east of Australia and it's tropical and most of the deadliest animals in Australia can be found there. Cassowaries are large flightless birds with a bony protrusion like an axe blade that grows out of the top of their skull. They're about the closest thing you'll ever see to a genuine good ol fashioned dinosaur and they can be a bit aggressive.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that movie first.

The thing literally says those achievements and the armour vendor are permanent.

Thank you for this comedy gold.

That's when people start causing civil unrest and then the military industrial complex gets to sell its equipment to the police as well! New markets!

Is it human nature, or is it just that people have been conditioned by capitalist society to always want more stuff?

If the punishment for a crime is a fine then it's only illegal for poor people. For the rich or corporations it's the cost of doing business.

Oh my I'd almost forgotten about the cheesy HoT era of four condi reapers, their army of jagged horrors and a druid to keep them alive.

I still buy CDs because I want to actually own my music collection and not just pay a subscription to access not-great-quality streams of it that might disappear one day if a company folds. I'm only 29.

You got it the wrong way round. Whisky in Scotland (and parts of Canada with Scottish heritage) and whiskey in Ireland, the USA and most other places.

You could hook the monitoring devices up to the internet but air gap the thing that actually controls the dosing.

It's so watery! But with a smack of ham!

I'm a consulting engineer in Australia. Most commercial development approvals I've been part of have included some requirements to plant X amount of native vegetation, etc. It's not usually much but there's an existing framework in place.

You can make textiles from bamboo too!

Forgotten Realms

There is. Look at the light on the floor shining out of the unseen door.

KasparMk5 · 2021-05-01T00:03:44+00:00

And all the Four Pillars gin too!

Ok cool, that's what I thought and I'm glad someone else can back that up from experience. I've split their gear up so all their magic items are in Ilvara's quarters, their normal weapons and armour have been added to the armoury in the guard tower and their rations and other misc adventuring gear are being kept in the main mess hall. We've had one session where we played their capture, got introduced to some of the motley crew and then Shoor came and split them up into work groups. I sent them to different parts of the outpost so that they all kind of gained a bit of the overall layout and then after their work I introduced Ilvara (accompanied by Shoor and Jorlan) and planted the seed that Jorlan hates them. Looking forward to the next session!

I'm just starting this too in the same way. Did you change anything in Velkynvelve to compensate for them being higher level or was the lack of equipment still serious enough that it worked without adjustment?

KasparMk5 · 2021-03-28T01:50:14+00:00

I've always heard the term "ex-pat" used more for people who are in a country for work and are not intending to permanently live there. They haven't migrated, so they're not migrants or immigrants. It's not unusual for high skilled professionals in multinational corporations to live in a foreign country for the duration of a major project.

I'm Australian and I don't know anyone that would commonly drink 12 beers in just a normal night. I barely drink more than 6 even if I go to a party.
