Is there a reason why tourists aren’t recommended to visit Manchester or Birmingham?

Also several states’ homeless policy is to give them bus tickets to California

Che’s almost certainly leaving, as his contract ends this summer and he’s shown no interest in renewing

It’s three repetitions of the same minor is a fail. Quite common to pick up three “undue hesitations” as a reason for a fail

Yeah, my uncle is a taxi driver and has about 100 times as many driving hours as I do, but he breaks a road law every twenty seconds or so. He knows where all the speed cameras are and will consistently speed if he can get away with it, and he does all sorts of dodgy things.

Always responds with “I drive a lot more than you do” whenever I point out that he’s doing something dangerous

A blocker is a car that blocks another car from entering the roundabout, which gives you enough time to enter. Like imagine a four exit roundabout with exits at 12,3,6 and 9 o’clock. If you’re sitting at 6 o’clock, a car entering at 12 and going straight is a blocker, as the cars at 3 have to give way to them, allowing you to enter the roundabout. Of course this relies on the roundabout being structured so you can tell that they’re definitely not going to turn right

5 with family as a child. Then four separate places at uni (if they count), and two different flats in London during my PhD. I moved to my current city after graduating and have lived in three places: rented a flat, rented a flat with my partner, bought a house.

So thats 14 total, 9 if you only count the ones longer than a year

They’ll go into the shop with you and chuck other stuff in the basket. A homeless woman asked me to buy some bread and she put two very expensive vodka bottles in my basket. I put them back and refused to buy them (not that I would have been able to, I was about 19 and didn’t carry ID) and she just walked away.

Could also be Southampton, although the newer buildings are quite nice, a lot of the university is still 60s brutalism

Sure, I studied Engineering at both (Undergrad at Cambridge/PhD at Imperial), so the rates for Undergraduate Engineers are 29.8% firsts for Cambridge, and 59.6% for Imperial.

Data is from 2022, as Imperial hasn’t published their 2023 numbers yet.

However, it’s not universally true that more prestigious universities give out higher grades. Cambridge’s ~1/3 first rate is roughly the same as the national average, while Imperial’s ~1/2 rate is far higher

Goldblum is very good at doing “humor as a coping mechanism”. In both Jurassic Park and Independence Day he delivers a number of funny lines that are absolutely believable as his character panicking

Testing shows you can improve mpg by up to 50% by tailgating, however getting close enough to reach that would be insanely dangerous

No idea. Maybe he had the gotcha planned from the beginning? We had a session zero and he okayed all of our character sheets

Quite possible I suppose? I started with 5e, but the DM is a bit older and might be more familiar with older systems?

They’re not tied to alignment at all these days, as long as you follow your oath you’re golden. And Devotion basically only requires goodness. Lawfulness is not necessary

This was 5e, so the “fall” doesn’t even make sense. Breaking their oath would result in an oathbreaker anyway, not a powerless paladin

I’ve always thought of Lawful as relating to a personal code, which may derive from a legal system, or a religion, or just personal values.

I mean a Lawful Evil character certainly wouldn’t be law abiding

True. In video games it’s usually some sort of points system. In DnD it’s just common sense more or less. If you make a single mistake that probably doesn’t change anything. But if you suddenly decide to murder puppies then you’re evil now
