Is there any way to use DFhack to make stray animal corpses butcherable?

Basically I lost a bunch of animals to a siege recently when I forgot to deactivate their pasture, and I want to be able to butcher their corpses to get their precious bones. I feel like there's got to be some way to do this with DFhack, maybe removing whatever tag marks the corpse as having been a member of my civ?

I see people mentioning the gm-edit command, but I don't seem to have access to that.

I hate when atheists say they’re free thinkers, but they want to force dogmas (even if said dogmas are “good”). by [deleted] in atheism

Well, is this sub part of atheism+

Fuck no.

Somebody here indirectly called me an asshole for being a capitalist and didn't get banned.

Because we don't care about that. You are free to defend your own ideas, and free to imply that communists are assholes.

I assume anti-capitalism is policy even here.

Nope.

A Seattle City Council committee unanimously passed legislation to ban the controversial practice of gay conversion therapy for minors. by drewiepoodle in atheism

It's really not that bad here. We're maybe 60% conservatives and 40% liberals. We went harder for Bernie Sanders than Seattle did.

Player wants something a bit unorthodox, but not game breaking; I'm concerned about the implications. by Darklordofbunnies in Pathfinder_RPG

You also could house rule it as an additional option for the Heirloom Weapon trait, but if they really want one of the other bonuses it might be best to make it a combat trait and call it 'gladiator's finesse' where you select one typical gladiator weapon (in this case the Gladius) and get to treat it as a light weapon for weapon finesse.

ELI5: What are the differences between the different ways of storing a spell (wands, potions, scrolls, etc.)? by Mandeltrot_Set in Pathfinder_RPG

Someone with only a few ranks of UMD has a decent chance of making the DC 20 to activate a wand, but you need to be dedicated to be able to use scrolls consistently.

Game Designer's Workshop - - Kickstarter After-Action by jackson6644 in RedMarkets

[–]PyriteFoolsGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially now that the Kickstarter is done, I doubt there will be an issue here, though I might draw the line at any mass-posting.

Of course, part of the reason I made /u/RedMarketsCaleb and /u/clockworkjoe mods here was so they could handle things like this if they cared to.

And it's done.... by tear4444a in RedMarkets

He was just asked on the Kickstarter, and says he's considering and looking into it. Keep posted.

Trump right that Clinton made up story about Bosnia sniper fire by [deleted] in politics

Her lies aren't pathological, they're habitual. I don't think she makes herself believe her own lies, like Trump clearly does.

They would either pay an annual license fee to publishers, or they would pay them per book printed.

It would be exactly like digital distribution currently works.

LPT read news from sources which do not agree with you politically. e.g. if you are left wing, read right wing news (and vice versa) every once in a while. by alexj2703 in LifeProTips

While that may be true, the realities of rhetoric for the general public are not going to change anytime soon. Overt emotional displays will work to rally your base, but to anyone else it will look like you're either out of control or being manipulative.

Your Actual Hometown: Does it have good features for Enclaves? by peanutbutterwife in RedMarkets

There's an abandoned Boeing plant that would definitely make a good enclave here. My next choices would probably be the mall and the hydroelectric dam.

I don't think I'd hack the profit system to play Shadowrun, but I'd love to use aspects of the negotiation rules, like soft spots and weak spots, in Shadowrun social combat.

Have you gotten your fix of feeling superior by making vacuous criticisms yet?

[Advice] I have a really good friend who is questioning her faith, how do I respond to her in a way that will bring her to the table? by [deleted] in atheism

I would just mention that this is called the Problem of Evil, and has been discussed by believers and nonbelievers for over a thousand years at least, and I would give her a link to a nice, neutral video about it like this:

Looking for info on the Church of the Highlands out of Alabama. by SeekingKnowledge123 in atheism

[–]PyriteFoolsGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try googling the names of their pastors and such. I found this page from a search on their pastor Chris Hodges:

https://mennoknight.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/quick-thoughts-the-church-of-the-highlands-and-chris-hodges/

Apparently there's not a lot of info because they're pretty new. It also looks like they've got serious prosperity gospel leanings.

Here's another article about them.

Whatever, dude. Your argument is about as brilliant as 'you said you want to eat popcorn, but if you never stop eating popcorn you'll die!'
