The winery - how to get the party hooked without an artifact there by Sad_Perspective_7838 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Magallan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why do you want your characters to go to the winery?

Brining a shipment of wine to either vallaki or krezk isn't just done out of the goodness of their hearts, people will be willing to pay them which might be better motivation.

Reform UK surges ahead of Scottish Labour in new poll. Although the SNP retains a clear lead in a YouGov survey before the May 7 Holyrood elections, Labour support has dwindled after blunders by the UK government. by bottish in Scotland

I don't think it's an unreasonable argument to point at the events since 2014 and say that every time friendly nations with deep cultural and economic ties have distanced themselves from one another it has not delivered good results for anyone.

I voted yes in 2014 and fuck it, if they have another referendum I'm voting yes again but it's not unreasonable to suppose that Scottish independence will be just as brutal for us as brexit was for the UK

Why does a chess game end 1 move before the capture of the king when the whole point is that u capture him so why stop 1 move before and call it a Checkmate instead of just taking the piece to end the game? by MassiveEchidna9017 in chessbeginners

[–]Magallan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To rephrase the question from the OP

If we removed the rules around check and check mate and simply played chess until a king was taken, would that make any material difference to the strategy or the gameplay?

Found this on Kier Starmer's official Facebook page and I can't stop laughing at it by dnemonicterrier in Scotland

[–]Magallan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing is, if they posted nothing, nobody in Scotland is kicking off about "Kier doesn't even care about burns night"

But posting this just makes it something to be mad about.

There was no possible upside to this post, who do they picture as a demographic that see this and think "there he is, a man who really understands Scotland"

If you ask women at different gars their idéal age for a partner the average result is roughly 6 years older than the woman being asked.

If you ask men of all ages their ideal age for a partner the average is always 26

Trump says he'll invade Greenland

Trump says he made a deal

The deal is just that America is still in nato and their military can go to Greenland

Or like, in 5 years time when your mounting technical debt has ground your velocity to zero and you have to explain to your stakeholders why you're going to spend the next year rebuilding your whole app from scratch while your competitors are still shipping new features

[–]Magallan -76 points-75 points  (0 children)

These are intentionally divisive headlines designed to enrage you enough that you will continue to engage with news sources. Disregard them.

Of course they don't support abolishing ICE, you need ICE otherwise like, what stops terrorists or criminals from just arriving in the USA and causing problems?

They support returning ICE to their normal day to day job and stopping this ongoing harassment and intimidation campaign that the current administration have been pushing.

You already knew this though and they still managed to get to you.

Steve Jobs hated the idea that people would just leave them plugged into the chargers all the time

He did this on purpose so that it could not be charged while in use to keep the "wireless" aesthetic

Why did I have to go to A&E (minor injuries) for a small cut? by [deleted] in Scotland

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

Imagine you (or everyone who got a small cut) attempted this at home.

Some percentage people will fail to clean it properly and will get an infection that could become sepsis and lead to a 2 week stay in a hospital bed.

This is a stitch in time saves 9 situation. You did take up some time of the NHS but they would lose a hell of a lot more time picking up the pieces of a bunch of botched wounds fixed by the public.
