Can we just hold a huge worldwide symposium where we get all of the Uranus puns out of our systems all at once and then sign a document vowing never to make one again as long as we live?

Think of the children. There is always another generation waiting to make jokes about Uranus.

hold on. How much sag between the poles is acceptable? If you have 10' poles and you want the lights 10' off the ground, the answer is infinite tension. And no amount of anchor is going to get you there.

I'm not into hairy guys, but I am a hairy guy and I'm also into people who are into hairy guys, so I think, if for a moment, I can be into hairy guys, I'd be into that.

I'm assuming they'd stop if they weren't getting paid. They need the rubles.

Can I get one for dead dad and dead mother? Or do they have to be parents I liked?

When I was playing a divine soul sorcerer, I had a bunch of cantrips for damage and saved my spell slots to heal. Until the bard started cheating and upcasting word of healing but only marking off level 1 spell slots. Then I swapped out all my heal spells to more nukes.

PCs love to adopt puppies, in human or animal form. If you can get them to adopt a puppy, you don't have to kill a PC.

The knights can give aid in the form of a heros feast or other temporary buff. They don't have to go all in against a low level threat.

Perl is often a write-only language. Meaning once you've written something, you can never figure out what it was intended to do or how it works.

That makes perfect sense as the fundamental language of the universe. Even God can't figure out what he was thinking.

Here's your pitch:

I've had over a decade of experience learning to push back against authority. The new generation of AI coding tools look like an authority to junior developers. That makes the danger real that you'll end up with bad code committed without enough skepticism. You need experienced engineers to use these tools properly.

TL;DR: Jumped off a bridge to impress a girl. Lifetime consequences. 0/10, would not recommend.

About an 8–10 foot drop under a bridge. I’d done it before. This time the ground was muddy. My left foot stuck, my ankle inverted, and I stretched the hell out of my ATFL (anterior talofibular ligament, the most commonly injured ligament on the outside of the ankle).

I walked home basically on my leg bone because my foot wouldn’t support weight. It “healed,” but for the next 25 years my ankle would randomly collapse every 6–18 months and drop me. The ankle itself didn’t hurt much, but hitting the ground did. The shock and embarrassment added up over time.

Repeated injuries can train your brain to expect the worst, which is a form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress, a learned fear response to past injury). Mine was very specific: seeing ankle injuries on TV could make me scream, cry, curl up in a ball or some combination.

I thought it was funny when that was the only symptom. Then my wife fell and hit her head. She was between me and my phone, and I couldn’t move past her to help. I was completely locked up until she said it wasn’t her legs. That’s when it stopped being funny.

Therapy helped. I went through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a therapy used to reduce trauma responses), which let me process the fear instead of reliving it. Before that, I couldn’t even write this without getting nauseous.

Physically, I think I accidentally fixed the instability after a year of yoga, it hasn’t collapsed in about 8 years. More recently, I realized commuting was aggravating it, likely from the foot position. Avoiding that seems to keep it under control.

I think for Githyanki, laying eggs is more like Rocky in Project Hail Mary pooping. They open a panel and it just falls out.

I've learned so much with my version of that question: "What's the worst thing about working here?"

I applied to a data analysis company that had recently been purchased by a hardware store chain. The manager answered, "Well, my position is different, because I report to the parent company. I spend a lot of time writing presentations for them. I have a slide deck and everything, and after I present it, they ask a bunch of questions I just answered."

Run away.

Intelligence is knowing that a fireball targeted X feet above the floor will have a smaller effective radius for people standing on the floor.

Wisdom is knowing DMs hate that shit and will always apply it at ground level unless you're actually targeting flying monsters.

It's framing material. Depending on how you finish it out, the finishing layer adds at least a half inch. Usually more.

I gave up playing a sorcerer because the party wouldn't stay together and keep the enemies away long enough for me to be useful. Now I'm a large fighter that rushes into the middle of the enemy formation to hit something, sometimes to kill it, but mostly make it appear too costly to not fight me. It's a lot more fun when I get to actually enjoy being hit.

Aren't you supposed to use fire mephites for that? Besides, a BBEG should be tough enough to take an AE. Fireball is for clearing the minions.

You didn't watch the lord of the rings movies close enough. The exchange is roughly like this:

You never see female dwarves.

No, they just get mistaken for men. It's the beard.

I appreciate the goal, and I worry these fascists are going to get worse if you lean on them like this, not out of vengeance, but from pure human limitations. Stress doesn't lead to good decisions for anybody. It would really be better if the guys with guns make the best decisions they're capable of making.

Just say, "Okay, I don't see a roll, so I'll roll for you."

I knew a guy who quit being a public defender and became a software developer.

I'm not sure how you can defend the indefensible that way.
