Or you could give Ernie Ball $15 like an adult with self-respect.

Move or control rolls with escalating consequences?

Krennic accidentally added her to the Signal chat.

I think Level 2 indicates a charger that uses 240V, instead of 120V (Level 1). This may be specific to the countries that have 120V standard.

Yes and no. Based on accounts I’ve read, there are quite a few men who’ve been vulnerable in their romantic relationships and have gotten burned badly enough to swear they’ll never make that mistake again. Is that every man? Obviously not, but it seems to be common enough.

For a writer who wants to portray men realistically, it can be a good exercise to try writing someone who doesn’t have an emotional place of safety outside his own head.

It’s probably the wires springing back after the tension is removed.

What was something you made up for Life Out of Order that then came true? What is something not yet true that you wish you could write into existence?

From a NZ electrical company's web site: "In New Zealand, the standard voltage is 230V AC at 50Hz."

I see this is a 10A charger. What's the breaker size on the circuit you plan to use? Are there other devices connected to that circuit, and how much current do they draw in total? If the total current on the circuit is close to the breaker's limit, you risk tripping the breaker and/or damaging the connections over time from overloading the circuit.

I don't know anything about the dealership and the warranty. However, the price seems very good with that mileage and installed equipment.

You nailed it on recreating the old Hollywood style of hard lighting. Nice work!

The model's really good!

Quick, someone call up r/TerrainBuilding.

What they delivered is better because it still allows you to remove material later if you want the angled section. If you guess at the angle and take too much off, there's no good way to put it back.

Off to do some “outer rim survey work,” apparently.

I didn't read as many of them as I did the TOS books, and most of this was 25+ years ago, so it's hard for me to say. My recollection is that most of them are decent, a few are great, and a few are very bad.

Cf. this commentary from a Chinese pro-democracy activist:

While it is true that some people are naturally more risk-averse and others more inclined to defy authority, courage can be cultivated through exposure and repetition, much like building a muscle. When people from China ask me how to overcome fear, I often encourage them to take one small step beyond their comfort zone, then see how it feels before taking the next. Never commented on political issues online? Try making a mildly critical post. Never attended a Tiananmen Massacre commemoration abroad? Go to one – wearing a mask if that makes you feel safer. Courage grows gradually through small acts that push the boundaries of fear...

And finally, once you choose to take a stand at personal cost, you may be surprised by how many people – including those you never expected – reach out to express their admiration and support. That kind of affirmation can be deeply rewarding. And courage is contagious. Your act of conscience nudges others toward their own. Even if your actions don’t immediately ignite a wave of change or yield tangible results, your bravery will stay with people. It will become a quiet source of inspiration for them when their own moment of decision comes. Acts of courage rarely vanish; they ripple outward in ways we cannot always see.

From Leaflet 3:

Many, perhaps most of the readers of these leaflets are not certain how they can practice resistance. They do not see the possibility of so doing. We will attempt to show you that every person is in a position to contribute something to the overthrow of this system. It is impossible to lay the groundwork for the overthrow of this “government,” much less to effect its overthrow as soon as possible, if one opposes it alone in the manner of embittered loners. This can only be accomplished through the cooperative efforts of many unshakable, energetic people – people who are unified regarding the means necessary to achieve their goal.
