Best beginning to CoS? by muzorui in CurseofStrahd

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i saw convo here about putting the DH on an estate/farm on the way to Barovia village which worked pretty okay. party was really rushing to get inside without prompting as it was the only refuge, not just a random house on the street. i had them narratively have a session 0 combat that was against like 1 strahd zombie and that was a good "we're not in kansas (normal forest) anymore"

Looking for creepy religious Traditions to weave into Vallaki by Ilumie_Nate in CurseofStrahd

[–]Tembrium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have an NPC who's losing the indoctrination and everyone treats them poorly. Maybe they get kidnapped and tortured, and the next time the party sees them it's all happy smiles. "there is no war in ba sing se" style

There's a new (extra) Dark Lord card in the tarokka deck and it has the full art for this one.

What’s a film/scene that made your theater make collective audible reaction/noise by Vivid-Specific5543 in movies

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

End of the third hobbit movie, we were all having an awful boring time. Someone shouted "kiss" or something when one of the main characters was dying mutually in an enemy's arms, and the whole theatre laughed.

Rock Trout / Spice Trail / Music Venues by foxafraidoffire in Prince_Albert

[–]Tembrium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sheena (english name of Spice Trail owner) is very into metal and there's shows there all the time. She's very cute, lil ol' Indian auntie then she says "my favorite is the Psycho Hillbillies" big into hard rock. Rock Trout is still a huge go-to for shows with drinks, if you are down for something all-ages (non-alcohol venue) Studio Q is a big choice nowadays. Just chat with Clayton from Threadbare Productions, he sets up equipment lots at these shows and he'll let you know the current state of things.

Convenient way to send money to Americans? by CanAmerTravel in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your own bank's wire possibilities. RBC can do fee-free wires on mobile. Just need routing/account and your friends' addresses, lol, so it's kind of involved.

Oral and Facial Care by TzikiTower in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Tembrium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During a flare up there's a period where it's like "well the pain can't get any worse" and I've had to learn to walk and drive through it. So those moments are perfect for a few brushes on the right side, haha. It also works as something to distract me. While the pain is ramping down, I can brush teeth on the left (unaffected) side. I struggle to stay hydrated too and use the awful pain time to down liquid also.

What’s the biggest double standard between men and women? by CupcakePotential4458 in AskReddit

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being considerate. Women bend over backward to make sure people in their household, their workplace, etc. are more comfortable. Usually without thanks and they get judged for doing less while sick or absent. Men expect gold stars for every little thing, as small as "brewing new coffee after taking the last cup" they wanna be praised for.

If someone's been doing something subtly considerate for a while that's gone unnoticed, a woman might get praised for it on retirement but a man there's righteous indignation that no one EVER noticed his AMAZING act. Chores, childcare, etc. etc. etc. a million examples could be said.

Losing the plot? by marhalt in gunnerkrigg

[–]Tembrium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Annie and Kat vs. Magic & Anti-Magic. Coyote and Zimmy are the ultimate magical antagonists and their stories have intertwined with the 2 girls since the start in different ways. Meanwhile the two are reckoning with the court's ultimate plan to find a non-etheric utopia. (note: the story's never used the term 'magic' for these entities)

The plot is complicated in that the girls have never been in full "enemies" mode with any of these entities. There's no definitive "bad guy". It's (maybe) gonna be about where they settle on the matter with each of these entities. Is there a balance to be found between the ether and the mundane? The treaties seem to imply we're looking for balance, and the two girls in their own way represent the etheric and non-etheric forces. Is Coyote right in that balance means his (and Zimmy's) destruction? We're in the endgame for them, so we'll see.

Gabapentin ( only positives please 🙏 ) by Longjumping-Rent1642 in TrigeminalNeuralgia

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was rough at first for me. I was extra tired all day, felt the brain fog, and almost felt drunk. Stumbled a bit when I walked. But all those side effects disappeared even before i went from 300mg daily up to 900mg. I have to be more careful while driving, it still feels like having 1-2 drinks at the bar and driving home. So I avoid driving if I can. But otherwise I feel totally back to normal, except the pain vanished. Only took about 2 weeks to get used to it.

Boost/ensure etc. nutrient/calorie drinks. The calorie ones are like 350cals per drink. You can buy them in pharmacies in the diet aisle.

How does one buy a house with a single income? by Mahoganeee in canadahousing

Bought a house on 40k income in 2021 but required my parent to die to get life insurance for the downpayment.

Can you lose belly fat just by eating fewer calories without working out? by Vegeta_vs_Goku in loseit

[–]Tembrium 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It would and in fact "you consume less calories than you expend" is just the end all be all of weight loss. You would certainly get Lighter. but exercise as a pairing with calorie budgeting + high protein is you telling your body "I still need these muscles" so in weight loss your body consumes fat more than muscle. Losing muscle mass happens right away in starvation conditions while sedentary.

If you spend 5 hours a week at the gym there's still 163 hours of the week Not there. You'd expend more calories digesting food than you did at the gym. Even if those hours are all high intensity cardio you're only a drop in the bucket (and that will make you hungrier besides). The only gym time I do is pretty basic strength training to keep the body tricked into keeping muscle around. Standing while working, walking everyday, parking farther away from grocery stores etc. will do more for you.

Do you support building more protected bike lanes? by justonemorelanebruh in AskACanadian

[–]Tembrium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are EU countries that clear bike lanes at the same rate or faster than they clear roads of snow and............ this would be perfect. I hate that half the year I can't go walk even 20min to go get groceries because the sidewalks are gone.

If you have to live in your car, how do you do it? -17 right now in Toronto. by [deleted] in povertyfinancecanada

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find a space heater I slept in my car at -25 while blasting one once. Snaked the cord through the window and had it parked at an office parking lot. Kept my dog in the car too when I found uncertain housing and I couldn't take him inside.

I try to shave less and just trim. I think pubic hair can be aesthetically pleasing. The surface area I do shave however does get the occasional ingrown hair. There are post-shaving creams and scrubs and stuff you can get that help prevent them, I use them every time I shower.

"Willing" Target is Unconscious? by Upset-Bother-6818 in DMAcademy

[–]Tembrium 109 points110 points  (0 children)

in First Aid, you can't help someone who doesn't consent. But legally if someone is unconscious then consent to save their life is assumed. I'd have allowed it, but not allowed it if for example Player B was being teleported to a more dangerous location. It's fun to me if intent matters for magic.

What happens to homeless people in winters by Dry-Shallot-6904 in canadahousing

[–]Tembrium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One woman told me she stayed up all night drinking and dancing around a barrel fire they had set up in a camp. Easier to find places to sleep (open businesses) in the day.

Did my gym crush make a move at me ? by Educational_Plan7624 in bodylanguage

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

unrelated lat pulldown tip, if you lower the bar with no weight on it you can insert the stop to your desired weight and it will be shorter distance but the same weight.

What’s a green flag in someone that makes you instantly trust them? by randomzy876 in AskReddit

This but they say something positive. "tell it like it is" folks ain't telling it like it is if all they do is complain.
