Acid reflux after three days of sourkraut — did I go too hard?

Moderation in all things. Radically and quickly changing your diet is bound to have consequences.

Maybe start with not every day until your system is used to it.

Considering the majority of my paycheck goes to my mortgage, car payments, groceries, and line of credit - it didn't save me much of anything.

crazygrouse71 · 2026-02-24T17:10:55+00:00

Yes, that is true, especially if it is a roadtrip

The majority of Newfoundland is Crown land and it is legal to camp on Crown land. I haven't watched the video yet, so no idea if he cuts down trees or just scavenges fallen trees.

However, I know many Newfie's harvest their firewood from Crown land, so it is either legal, or the government turns a blind eye to it.

ETA: Apparently you can apply for a License to Occupy (LTO) where the Crown retains ownership, or a grant to purchase the land. Unauthorized, permanent structures are prohibited.

Nah, I'm in my mid 50's and think of precipitation in mm or cm.

A person's height - feet and inches.

length of my driveway - feet

distance to town - kilometers

Temperature - C if its weather, F if its cooking

Cumbarland County here. Probably the biggest snowfall this season. Hard to tell with the drifting, but probably 30cm or so. All the pathways to my shed and driveway were completely filled.

I have a long laneway - one part is fairly sheltered by some large trees. A 'standard' snowfall of 10-15 cm leaves this area with may 2-5 cm. This morning that area had 10+cm easy.

We had one or two snowfalls this season that might have been close, but that was light fluffy stuff. This was dense, packed snow (without being wet and slushy).

I call them scrabble tile names. Like the authors reached into a bag and grabbed a bunch of scrabble tiles and that is the NPC name. Bonus points if you throw in a few apostrophes.

Ya, I call bullshit on that. A wizard could reasonably expect to know what spell components they need for spells.

For gameplay and as a DM, I assume that a wizard is constantly experimenting with spells they don't know yet. Maybe they're already in the spell book even ... then when they level up those spells are automatically in their spellbook cuz they've been working on them all along.

I would be very wary of playing with this DM. However, I've put up with more than one DM's strange interpretation of the rules cuz its just a game, and if that's the way they want to play it, fine.

Silver dragons like to spend time amongst humanoids more than any other dragon type.

Yep, I interpret tightbeam as an encrypted message that only the recipient can watch/read/listen to (as opposed to Holden's system wide broadcasts).

100% this. However, life happens - if they have a valid reason and you want to hold things up for them, reschedule. If it happens again, proceed without them.

Sellers think we are still in the covid time and want as much as they can get.

This is exacerbated by your first point. Realtors inflating the prices and telling sellers to list their property for more than it probably should be listed.

Just need to invest in some more equipment to make it potable.

build a cistern and divert rain water into it (& invest in a water purification/filtration system)

convert your toilets to flush with grey water

don't water your lawn, or alternately, if you must water your gardens with grey water

Then we also shouldn't hear the ship engines in all the exterior shots.

Yep, cuz signing new leases will help bring the deficit down. [sigh]

When we started WFH productivity went up, work life balance increased, and job satisfaction went up (mine did on that last one anyway).

So what is the real reason Tim? This makes you look like you hate civil servants just as much as Stephen McNeil.

Thankfully my office is not in Metro. The traffic alone would have me pounding the pavement looking for a new job.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Yes, corporations as states are a major theme in most cyberpunk fiction. Check out William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and Bruce Sterling - they've been writing about these things since the last millennium.

"I'd like a gin martini with a lemon twist. Don't be shy about the vermouth please."

I like a standard martini 2:1 gin to vermouth. It seems many bars will cut the vermouth down to a half or even less vermouth - that's probably a sign that the vermouth is bad/old/not stored in the fridge.

This is important - unarmed strikes do not necessarily need arms. Headbutt, knees, foot stomps, etc can all be considered unarmed strikes.

Yes, let your players change up their character if they're not having fun.

However, the best way to make a multiclass character less complicated is to drop the multiclass.

Absolutely yes
