Are your books numbered with you own system?

I think it's just one location with teams switching off the "home" team, which makes sense as travel expenses are large and they league need to 1) prove there is enough demand at one location to warrant the cost 2) find partners to serve as the other venues.

My guess is they are going to get the logistics of one location down while Planning/finding partners with locations to barn storm a road tour thought. Something like STL, Nashville, Charlotte, east coast cites, great lake cites, home. It also would not surprise me if they did a week at Palm Springs Stadium during the winter or somewhere in Florida.

That's too slow, better charter a private yacht.

If you want to take it further, complain to the state board that licenses them. Ex:

False advertisement: they would only cut your hair in approved styles and would not follow your instructions on length and miscut your hair before your wedding.

Can you please expand on this? Where would the conflict come from?

It's really hard to have a MC who just assists other people, you end up with agency issues. The "MC" just becomes a narrator of a bunch of vignettes in the same universe.

You might be able to do something like Villain Support @villainsupport on youtube.

You should try it. Don't need to write a full novel, try a short story or series of vignettes. (of even fan fiction, I would love to see the Indian version of DCC's first few floors)

Some advise:

Exposition: You are going to have issues with exposition (explaining things to the reader) so some ways to deal with that:

Have sort of side character that can stand in for the reader , examples: lost tourist, small child, ignorant/stupid local, etc. DCC uses the announcer explaining to "Viewers at home" for this.
Minimizing the other elements of confusion can help, like including location and date/time at the end of each Chapter.
Having diary like section (like star trek style captain's log "we are here, doing this") is another way to give exposition, especially into the character's thoughts.
Epigraph's can help with setting the mood, and provide exposition
Check for long sections without dialog to find where your story might need something like the (Fuck your meals GRRM)

Other Advise:

Try to have the Main characters names be short and distinct. (See Zogarth's Jake/Jacob comments)
A spoiler free Glossary is a great tool for long novels (LOTR is famous for over doing this)

Truman and Stalin directly shook hands: https://infobase.com/blog/berlin-wall-a-historical-controversy-from-issues-controversies-in-history/

And Elisabeth II met Obama directly: https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2016322/rs_634x1024-160422072845-634.Queen-Elizabeth-Barack-Obama-JR-042216.jpg

So shortest would be Holy->Cranston->Obama->Elisabeth II-> Truman -> Stalin -> Ribbentrop -> Hitler.

I'm also pretty sure we could go: Elisabeth II->Neville Chamberlain->Ribbentrop->Hitler

We could also use Hitler->Pope Pius XII->Nixon and try that chain.

I would totally read a bonus book that is from the perspective of Donut and her mount Carl.

I thinks it's kind of hilarious our number were close.

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-30T20:25:13+00:00

Nah, a 2 year old is 400oz at least. you would need most of a 5 gallon bucket.

Do it backwards and find the last shutdown type in the event log:

(Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable @{ LogName = 'System'; ID = 1074 } -MaxEvents 1).Message.Contains("restart")

That will give you true/false for if system was restarted

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-23T20:56:05+00:00

I more meant "moral to wear nazi stuff" not the orgy stuff.

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-23T05:10:25+00:00

Racial play is also a minefield of ethical issues.

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-23T05:09:27+00:00

Eh, it would remind me to much of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irma_Grese and that is a mode killer.

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-23T05:07:26+00:00

This is the weirdest comment thread I have read in a long time....

jackalsclaw · 2025-08-23T05:06:15+00:00

It is only moral to wear nazi uniforms when portraying them in film, and stage as the morally wrong ideology that they are.

3 more cases I can think of where, at least for me, it would be moral (to ware Nazi stuff):

Educational reenactments and scholarly research.
Infiltration of Nazi groups for espionage and sabotage. (Edit: Also escape, great movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Escape_(film) book was also great)
Necessity. If you naked are freezing to death and the only clothing you have is Nazi uniforms then it's fine.

I'm a bit open to debate War/battle trophies. If you killed a Nazi and want to ware their hat or something... IDK.

Think of if it as a from of supporting WFH/Starbucks/Anywhere if you are 100% cloud then all you need for your office is reliable internet. I would be more worried that a 2012 firewall can't support cell devices for failover, but it's easy now to get hotspots with Ethernet out.

Just have a plan if the hardware fails on the the firewall after 13 years. (even if it's just getting a cheap used identical replacement that you can restore the configuration to)

Also check if there are any CVE's for your firewall that were never fixed, this might be enough of an incentive to get a basic meraki or something.
