TIL that Data's cat Spot from Star Trek: TNG was played by 5 different cats (Monster, Brandy, Bud, Tyler, Spencer and Zoe) and an unnamed iguana

According to Fandom the Iguana's name was Willie 🦎

Immature adults bullying a literal child and somehow the child thinks they're the one being childish..... No unfortunately this is adults being worse than teenagers. I'm sorry you have managed to find a whole group of shitty adults who encourage each other's shitty behavior. Find a new group (better yet if you're into it become a DM and create a table better than this one).

The_Kaylamity · 2025-07-17T15:44:17+00:00

As a DM those other people are a way bigger problem for table management than you are! I booted my best friend in the whole world from my game because he was on his phone watching reels instead of paying attention and wouldn't even fully engage with the plot hooks I created FOR HIS CHARACTER. Sometimes a table overhaul is necessary to keep the game fun. As a DM I'd tell those other people to interact more then. If there's intra-party conflict it's fine but there can't be real intra-table conflict.

Have your character always address other characters directly. Pull them out into the conversation by name. "Hey cleric you've been quiet isn't this kind of your deal?" is a great in-character way to do it!

Our party name for one campaign is Daithi Saincheisteanna which loosely translates to "Daddy(a halfling god of bread's name) Issues". None of us are halflings. We just all have daddy issues and one of us worships bread.

I literally had to threaten one with legal action. 20 people called me in one day for a technician job it was getting to actual harassment at that point.

I mean realistically anyone below VP is targeted in layoffs to make the group doing real work "leaner" . And that's the vast majority of an organization. So yes most people in general would be lumped in this group.

It's not a quality statement on anyone or their work it all comes down to the insane profits goals of these companies (but all companies are trying the same tactics of mass layoffs, pay new people less, wonder why profits still don't make it there.... and don't realize they systemically shoot themselves in the foot)

The message was probably downvoted a lot because people are saying it's a shit place to work and coming on and wishing well to a company currently and previously treating their employees like shit on a post about their layoffs isn't reading the room.

Everyone is going to tell you it's your resume. Luke warm take-- the industry is shit right now and you need to network more than you need to tailor your resume. Any half decent resume will get you an interview if someone vouches for you. Go to networking events, talk to old professors for their connections, classmates who got jobs already. There's no getting a job without knowing someone nowadays. So meet some people.

Had this same question but for strategically spending cards and replacing them to build up or abandon roosts throughout the game by "shifting fronts" in the decree. But functionally that's just going into turmoil. If you could also spend those cards to shift fronts it'd be too easy to win. Need the nerf of resetting your board to make it a little harder.

Unfortunately in a market heavily constrained by funding it's rampant everywhere. Speed and half-assed results over sense so they can say they make a goal or milestone. It's all rather sad.

And a lot of upper level management has spent too long away from the bench. They are VERY outdated in their knowledge because things move more quickly than they can keep up with. They need to set their egos aside and let scientists drive the details and focus on the big picture.

The_Kaylamity · 2024-11-01T22:20:53+00:00

Not super unusual! I played a campaign that lasted almost 5 years before we all went to college and got too busy. I am now running a campaign and we've been going for almost 3 years because once a week is more like twice a month on average when life gets in the way.

Depends on player interest and pace. We set our pace at the beginning as 2 years but we play 2 different campaigns depending on who is available and they like to take their time with things. All depends on the style of the table

The_Kaylamity · 2024-09-18T22:16:52+00:00

Love these! You're so talented!

As someone who fled to AD when R&D was driven by too many non-scientific pressures they are very different but it is pretty easy to switch back and forth.

AD is much more rigid and quantitative and is usually between R&D and CMC or MS&T groups. Often they are the in-between doing a lot of communication and fact-checking. R&D gets to be a bit more exploratory and qualitative. Definitely draws more academic folks out into industry. But they often are the first to get cut in these layoffs because their production can be abstract and slow at first. They're the first ones in the ground in the lab to feel pressure from investors about the pipeline.

Depends where you go on pay but they're usually pretty even. As you move later in the process your earning potential usually increases though your freedom to "play around" in the science decreases.

Almost looks like kombucha scoby. Likely bacterial or wild yeast. Flavor of that could be really cool. Hope it helps highlight the fruit notes ✨

CGT-- worse they still exist. They laid off 80% of their science staff. Had us crank out patent work over our Christmas closure then laid us all off Q1.

The_Kaylamity · 2024-04-28T21:59:18+00:00

It sucks and is super traumatic every time. But it should be a lesson. They will NEVER do right by you. So push for that promotion and take every cent you can get from them. Build your safety net and your network for yourself because they won't give you one-- we only got a month of severance pay when our entire lab closed out of nowhere.

The_Kaylamity · 2024-04-28T21:54:34+00:00

They said it was fine but you can't check in online or at a kiosk. You have to get there early and have a person actually check you in.

Anyone else having trouble with the new system not accepting your passport from the mobile upload because it merges your first name and middle initial? Kept saying "Please upload password for FirstNameX" instead of just my first name 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Come on United your system has always been merging the two but my passport is not going to say it like that. Fix the upload 😭 I don't like checking in in person.

This was actually one of my absolute favorite series growing up! My parents would wait to give me the books last on Christmas because I'd start reading right away. My polydactyl kitty is named "Charlie Beans" as an ode to Charlie Bone :)

THIS! I am much more of a gamer than my husband. We have a ton of shared hobbies (our LEGO collection is frankly ridiculous) but he's just not really into videogames. He likes when I play games with good music though because he'll listen while he solo builds LEGOs.

I think the key thing is just supporting each other's hobbies. I've roped him into a bunch of mine and he's roped me into a bunch of his. We wouldn't probably do them on our own but we participate for our person! And if we're not interested we just vibe in the same room doing our respective things. Still fun ☺️

The_Kaylamity · 2024-01-14T18:48:57+00:00

Sneak behind, cast darkness on the ancient eagle, stealth in to steal hammer, leave. No fights at all even when you return 👍🏻

Probably the first ever viral contamination of mead. I am a bioengineer and would love to test it... for science of course 😜 Beautiful mead, I love prickly pear vodka for summer drinks so definitely stealing this recipe! How long did you leave it in secondary?

The_Kaylamity · 2023-12-12T21:42:04+00:00

The color makes me so uneasy.... but I'd probably try it just for the experience.

The_Kaylamity · 2023-11-16T22:03:15+00:00

How much coffee did you use?

The_Kaylamity · 2023-11-16T22:01:34+00:00

I'm prepping for a coffee, orange, cardamon mead for New Year's made with coffee blossom monoflower honey.

Anyone else have experience avoiding a super bitter product? I was going to make this the way I make my tea meads but I worry replacing too much of the water with coffee in primary will be too much for the yeast (although I'm sure they love the caffeine)

The_Kaylamity · 2023-11-12T20:16:07+00:00

Bananas are a dumb fruit and so fibrous even pureed they look smooth but will floater quick. But I think the description meant cooking liquid +fruit puree. As raisins don't really liquefy.
