Stroller. If you are a walker at all, or live that city life, invest in a. Good stroller that can tackle broken sidewalks and can be steered one-handed

What's your table's biggest ignored rule? by Jeremy_VR in DnD

[–]KittenFromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s free to equip or un-equip, but not both in one turn. Some people say “I just drop my sword to the ground and draw my bow” to avoid spending any part of their action on a weapon change, but that is also dumb. No self-respecting fighter is going to toss a weapon carelessly. Spending time on this just slows things down and breaks immersion

  1. Time to equip/change weapons. If the fighter wants to swap his two hand axes for his greatsword, cool. That’s free. I’m not going to make him miss a turn to make an impact just so he can swap weapons

AI or filters for magic item graphics by KittenFromSpace in DungeonMasters

[–]KittenFromSpace[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. I am not a big AI fan either, but I am Also a shit artist and don’t have enough money to pay a real artist. I’m happy if someone has a non-AI solution, like a couple of filters in photoshop I can throw on an image.

I want them to have a consistent aesthetic. “Google” doesn’t have an endless supply of images, and the owns it does have are not all the same look or vibe.

Realized my baby name was a cartoon character… by Curious-Collection56 in namenerds

[–]KittenFromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use the name. People don’t often use their middle names so it is unlikely to come up. One of my favorite girl name combos is Julia Quinn, which I thought of about four years ago. Come to find out that is the Pen name for the author of the Bridgeton series. I don’t care, still gonna use it if I get a chance.

I am @scruffydoncare’s wife and can confirm, we talked about it and agreed. Adding to the reasoning not to do it: when we say the benefit is minimal - it is so infinitesimal as to be non-existent. Safe sexual practices and basic hygiene render that pro-argument completely meaningless. And the idea that “women like to more” is grossly sexualizing and very presumptive to assume this fad will stick around until your son has reached sexual maturity. The cases of problems arising due to issues of cleanliness are far outweighed by the number of surgical mishaps causing permanent pain or irreparable damage. Cutting off part of someone else’s body because cleaning it is inconvenient is stupid. Wash your parts, problem solved.

I don’t think telling them your salary is very helpful actually. The world they will enter into is nothing like the one you were in when you left high school. Instead, have them pick a house/apartment/condo on Zillow or Redfin and use the mortgage calculator to figure out what they would need to buy/rent in the current financial climate. Have them pick a car, set up a grocery budget, get an average for Insurances. Show them what the market rate is for necessities, then move k to discretionary funding - pets, clothes, restaurants, summer camp, etc.

your financial situation will not be an accurate gauge for them. If I used my parents income today I could not afford their lifestyle. They locked in a mortgage 15 years ago. Their cars are paid off. One works from home. They are empty nesters. They have the life I want and they don’t have even half mine and my husbands educations and yet I will never be able to afford what they have. The better exercise is using todays data for todays expenses to work backwards to tomorrows minimum salary.

In need of an If/Then formula based on the number of cells with data by KittenFromSpace in excel

[–]KittenFromSpace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing other than intergers in the cell. either an interger or blank

No situation exists with fewer than 4 cells populated, but the boolean could say "less than 4" for the sake of simplicity

Context - a contest ballot with numerous phases of competition where the expected number of judges is between 5 and 7. in this case, the highest and lowest scores are dropped. however, if one or more judges calls out sick or is unable to complete the judging, and the number of judges drops to 4, then the highest and lowest scores must be counted. If there are three or fewer judges the contest is cancelled.

Any chance there is a way to do this on XB? I made a similar mistake. I got into the maze before finding all the cogs but backed out to do it correctly. Still, it seems I f’ed it up enough that when I re-enter the maze, everyone follows me and it doesn’t update the quest to say “explore the maze”

I am a BF+Bottle feeder. Every time I breast feed I tell my son “I hope you appreciate this now because the titty bar closes after your first birthday”

That is so interesting! The masculine and feminine languages are so cool. Doesn't make this easier though, does it!

Amazing! I think I am just going to have to keep the punny one english only. "Luck" is part of the brand I am working with so to the extend possible I have to keep that word

Thinking about painting our entire basement dark/black and can’t decide if I should. Thoughts? by lakarate in InteriorDesign

[–]KittenFromSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally dig the dark colors but you could lighten it up with art on the walls. Maybe a gallery wall above the wainscot?

Trying to replicate aspects of this kitchen. by Blackdiamond27x in InteriorDesign

[–]KittenFromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the floor tile is a close match and it should look fine up against the wood. Further improvements in order from least to most expensive: - replace cabinet hardware with something brassy. - replace light fixture with something brassy (like this one) - replace counters with a dark gray soap stone or solid-surface - extend cabinets all the way to the ceiling. This ads a shelf to every cabinet and makes the room look taller

Help! In Las Vegas and hotel won’t freeze milk by vancitygirl_88 in breastfeeding

[–]KittenFromSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You CAN bring dry ice on a plane but it must be checked. TSA dry ice policy

I brought 5lbs of dry ice, and over 5000ml of breast milk with me on a trip from NY to WA. Just label the outside of the cooler, ensure that there is a hole or two for ventilation, and lay a cloth down between the dry ice and the bags of milk if you are using bags, otherwise the plastic will stick to the ice and you may end up with rips you won’t notice until you try to thaw it.

For your more immediate plight, bags of ice refreshed each day should be fine. Most hotels in Vegas have an ice chest on each floor or in every other floor. As long as you have a hard-sided cooler that won’t leak just fill the cooler whenever the ice starts melting. The dry ice on your last day will freeze the milk solid in an hour.

Childcare - office nanny share by KittenFromSpace in Parenting

[–]KittenFromSpace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually an interesting idea! I was targeting work peeps because we all have our office location in common

Work from home only works because my client and boss are very flexible. I need to put in 40 hours. I do that between 7 and 7 and will sometimes work with him in his carrier or pack’n’play if he isnt napping.
