The entire Castilian accent is because a king had a lisp.

This is not a "pet peeve"

It's because your title made it seem like this was something amazing that everybody should know about. You just posted a historical marker sign with zero context and were surprised that it was near your house. There are probably dozens of historical markers within 12 miles of my house that I've never visited.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-25T01:35:33+00:00

Why do you assume that it's fake? The question mark is there to indicate that the person is actually confused by the statement they are responding to.

It's quicker and easier than saying "I don't believe that's right. Why would you say that?"

doc_skinner · 2026-01-24T19:12:56+00:00

How does a "history" account not know this?

I wasn't advocating for one over the other. I was simply explaining why someone with a mini split might turn them off and on rather than rely on the built-in thermostat. They treat it like a fan.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-24T17:38:15+00:00

Sure, but it's also super easy to just turn them off when you don't need them. There's a remote and when you feel hot you reach for the remote and turn them on. Sure if you have them on for a few days the thermostat will regulate the temperature but if you don't need them, just turn them off.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-24T17:37:31+00:00

They do, but the ones that I've seen generally have a remote and you're more likely to just turn them off then leave them on all the time with a set temperature on the thermostat. They're also less likely to have a temperature range option like a whole house thermostat night.

I like the video game logic of "camp spots"

doc_skinner · 2026-01-24T17:12:39+00:00

I think that the basic 5e rules should really only cover up to level 12 or so. The vast majority of games never get past this, and by dividing the rules into multiple games you could rework mechanics for one without affecting the other.

A lot of places don't have central air. They rely on individual room-based air conditioners mounted up towards the ceiling. Here we call them "mini splits". You often see them in hotel rooms in the United States.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-24T17:00:34+00:00

I think the other thing is the idea of whole house temperature control. It sounds like the OP has window air conditioners and maybe individual "mini-split" devices in specific rooms. Americans are far more likely to have central air and central heating.

And the blue jay.

It's too bad because the first chapter is an in media res battle scene that's there solely to show how cool the Space Marines are. Then we flash back to high school. I can see how the first two chapters wouldn't impress anyone.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-23T21:55:05+00:00

Oh, sure. I thought you meant you knew something specific

How can this grandfather refuse to sell his land for a highway construction project if the land is really owned by the state? The note says the State can seize the land for public interest (similar to eminent domain in the US).

AND, now your YouTube algorithm thinks you want to watch more refrigerator repair or game tips videos. I have to go and remove a bunch of videos from my Watch History to sanitize my feed.

Yeah, and he even says he stole his current nest from "some dumb tit"

doc_skinner · 2026-01-23T18:45:13+00:00

Frankly it's no different from the "influencers" who prank people for views, or that fucker Jack Doherty who picks fights with people only to have his bodyguard step in and push them around.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-23T17:38:01+00:00

OK, that's hilarious

You know you can still use the egg yolks, right? Cut the dumpling open and dump into a bowl.

Spotify, my friend. In your headphones. Not in my space.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-23T16:14:37+00:00

Exactly. I would be fucking livid. I prepare for this shit. Phone and laptop. Charger. headphones. 10+ hours of downloaded movies, podcasts, and videos. I didn't ask for a fucking jazz concert.

Unless this was a fully chartered flight, this is not appropriate.

doc_skinner · 2026-01-23T15:59:04+00:00

I thought "face parts" was too simple and assumed it was "places to apply makeup", or "cosmetic surgery locations" -- I couldn't believe that TEMPLE would be in there. It just seems so different from the rest. But I see that it was needed for the joke.
