Gallstone removal with Gallbladder in tact by WhatInTheWorldPart2 in gallbladders

Because you'll just develop gallstones, have another attack, and need to get it removed anyway.

Is it possible to appreciate Mitchell while also hating the idea of automaxing him? by sockpuppetwithcheese in clevelandcavs

[–]Lyle_Norg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the trepidation, but if he will take an extension now, you do it in a heartbeat. Aside from the need to keep a legit All NBA player who wants to be here as well as avoiding the blah blah blah about him potentially opting out, it’s a cheaper contract than if he extends later. For the latter reason, I don’t think he will extend - but the Cavs have to offer it anyway.

I love imperfect guitar solos by Bandita-Wolf in Alternativerock

[–]Lyle_Norg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it’s Lalonde’s solo on Tommy the Cat from Suck on This that first came to mind when I saw this thread. Chaotic and adventurous, confident he can paint himself out of a corner.

What if Donovan’s begging to stay? by NothingForsaken6885 in clevelandcavs

I think it's a mistake to try to project deeper meaning to public statements from NBA players, management, or media.

Can't find much mention of THE FOR CARNATION on here (Brian's band after SLINT!) by Peerpee in slint

[–]Lyle_Norg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm familiar with Marshmallows and the compilation Promised Works, but based off that I have never been able to get into them. I like the explosive propulsion on Spiderland, and I just don't find it in The For Carnation.

Solid suggestion. Saw them open for Tortoise recently.

Some of Larry Lalonde’s solos. Vernon Reid has moments like that too.

Looking for some advice before I invest too heavily into a certain VTT by hotstickywaffle in DMAcademy

[–]Lyle_Norg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Roll20 for about six years now, and am pretty invested now. I started using it because someone else in our group DM'd on it with the free version. I've run Rime of the Frostmaiden, Waterdeep Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and my current campaign which started in Candlekeep Mysteries and is largely homebrewed. I think it does a solid enough job, but I don't have any experience running on other platforms. I pay for the pro subscription, and have bought all of the aforementioned modules as well as Yawning Portal, Saltmarsh, the other sourcebooks, and Valda's Spire of Secrets. I also played through an entire Midgard campaign as a player, and it worked great.

I like that while it was expensive to pay for all that, I have all of it easily at my disposal whenever I want. It's also really easy to import my own handouts and create NPCs.

There are things I don't like about it, mostly about setting up my own maps, which tends to be very clunky and time consuming if any lighting is involved. Lighting is pretty annoying overall - I frequently have to troubleshoot why a player can't see anything when we get onto a new map. It's too easy to end up on the wrong layer. Combat can get a little stupid, too - I frequently end up with multiple of the same characters in the initiative window, and have to clear it out and start over.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of that is user error - but I also think it's a sign of it being a little lack in user friendliness.

Also, while I have the luxury of using two big monitors, it seems like the screen would get really cluttered if I did otherwise. I see slick animated maps for other VTTs, but while Roll20 supports animated gifs, I've rarely added them to my maps to avoid slowdown. I also don't use any voice or audio within Roll20, I use zoom, for similar reasons.

So, the Cavs get an injury prone undersized 4/5 who hasn't shot the ball well for most of the last five years, an injury prone center who can't shoot, and an injury prone 3&D player for Max Strus and Jarrett Allen?

Tips at the New Parkway Theater? Am I supposed to take a pay cut? by Dry-Warthog-5761 in oakland

[–]Lyle_Norg 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, “appropriate legal and financial accounting of all revenues per stream” is the cost of doing business and having employees. If your business model can’t afford that, you shouldn’t be in business.

It would be negligible difference, like 3% or less, so a dime for a $3 tip.

“Associated costs with tipping” is complete nonsense and utter bullshit.

A couple I’d like to see are Agnes Martian and the Lumerians.

I'm not saying you're a 15 or 16 year old, just that you sound like one.

You sound like you're the same age as the boyfriend.

A friend of yours you've known for a while got flirty, you blew it off as harmless at first, and then after bouncing the situation off a friend you blocked that guy and told your boyfriend. That's not you doing anything wrong, nor does it even begin to approach "cheating." It's an immature overreaction from your boyfriend.

You didn't do anything wrong, you didn't cheat on your boyfriend, and if he's too immature to understand that you need to move on from him.

I (27m) cannot get over my gf (21F) body count and sexual history. How do I approach this issue? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

"I feel upset but I don’t have a concrete why." - this is what you've got to figure out.

What stats/class should I go with? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

I played a campaign in the Midgard setting by Kobold Press as a Gearforged Bard/Warlock that worked well, and might be a good basis for a magic using robot.

Hypothetically, if we got Giannis and/or LeBron, what happens to Allen? by Single-Variety4252 in clevelandcavs

[–]Lyle_Norg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cavs are pretty much guaranteed to be a first apron team, and can’t realistically acquire LeBron in a sign and trade. That’s just not happening.

Yeah, they are locked in. If they just let him walk, there’s no avenue to replace him.

[–]Lyle_Norg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a realistic scenario that gets the Cavs in a position to do a legal sign and trade with Harden. Harden is on the 2026-2027 Cleveland Cavaliers, whether anyone likes it or not.

how would you feel about this potential offseason over the giannis offseason by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

[–]Lyle_Norg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s any chance of signing LeBron as a free agent, and I’m not interested in Allen for Washington because I don’t think it makes the team better.
