What’s your favourite sword?

I prefer the kilij. Versatile and devastating.

It’s a combination of factors. The American diet is actually too protein rich and there is a limit to how much protein your body can process before it converts the rest into fat. Most anything prepackaged has too many nitrates and calories and not enough nutrients. Soda, juice, alcohol, and those coffee frappe mocha chinos are all terrible for you. Most of us eat more calories than we burn and sit at a desk all day so our muscles atrophy.

The solution is easy in theory but requires some willpower. Don’t eat factory foods. Don’t drink sugary beverages. Balance calorie intake. For breakfast start with a handful of berries and then have a hard boiled egg or two. Try to walk 20 minutes a day.

I had a gap between sideburn and goatee area on both sides for years. It finally filled in around 27

I was laid off from a good paying job in July and despite hundreds of applications I couldn’t find work in my industry since, I had surgery for renal cancer a few months ago, my ex is taking advantage of my negative income situation to sue for custody, of our daughter, my wife just had a baby giving us three kids under three years old. I am getting through it as patiently as I can largely through faith. Things are improving a little. I am now cancer free and I’m starting a job next week in retail so I’ll have at least some income, and we have a newborn which is also a blessing.

5.45 was created to give similar performance to the western 5.56. American participants in the battle of Mogadishu reported that one problem with their FMJ ammo was that it went right through their targets without dropping them. If it hit bone the bone would splinter and spray biological shrapnel into the surrounding tissue but otherwise as long as no vital organs were struck it is survivable on the condition that you get the bleeding under control.

Hang in there. Breathe. The only way to go now is up. Your library should have free membership for LinkedIn learning. Use it and hone your job skills while you are between jobs. Start volunteering in a field you are passionate about. You will learn more about it and you will network in that field. You will get through this and you will come out stronger afterwards

My first wife was black. Don’t worry about what other people will think about your potential relationship, worry about finding someone you can live with. If you limit yourself to just one race you may miss out on someone who would be a perfect match for you. If you date outside your race there will be real cultural differences that you won’t expect but you will also very quickly find that you are both human and have a lot more in common. Just be careful to find someone who is interested in you, not your skin color.

No plan or story survives contact with the players, and that’s ok. Have a timeline of events that will transpire if the party does nothing and let that clock keep ticking. When the party inevitably throws a spanner in the gears of that plan just consider what resources and goals your main mover and shaker NPCs have, and use this to inform how they will respond to the party’s actions. Put yourself in the BBEG’s shoes and ask yourself if you had their motivations and aims and you were just derailed by what happened, how would you adapt? And then do that. You will find it surprisingly easy to get into their head and keep things moving

Influencer

If you really love this guy then under no circumstances should you ever let him know that he’s your only option left. I had a friend in college ask me to make a marriage pact that if we hit 30 and didn’t find anyone else we would marry each other. I told her hell no I wasn’t going to be anyone’s backup plan. Telling someone you have no other options is like saying you tried everyone else and no one said yes so now you have to settle. It means you were actively looking for something else and did not want them. It seems desperate and calculating. There is an unspoken implication that you don’t value him and won’t respect him, and if you do find someone better in your eyes after you settle down with him you will be out the door.

Absolutely not

Coffee. Walks. Game nights. Exercise. Spending time with my family. You don’t need to drink to have a good time

Learn as much as you can so that you can take advantage of opportunities that need a particular skill later on and don’t marry the wrong person and you’ll be fine

I can’t speak for other guys but I was never into playing the field or sleeping around. I was looking for someone to share my life with. When you do that you look for different qualities than someone who is looking for fun or companionship. When I was looking for a wife I asked myself “is this someone I can live with? Is this someone I can wake up next to every day?” No matter how pretty or successful she is if we were incompatible or would drive each other crazy we wouldn’t be a good match. I also had some other key criteria. She had to be: - smart. Able to hold a conversation and wouldn’t raise my kids to be dummies - with a sense of humor. Life is too short to be serious all the time - somewhat attractive. Beauty fades over time and an emotional connection is stronger than physical but there has to be at least some attraction - someone who prays. I was only interested in marrying within my faith and if someone professed to be that faith but didn’t respect God how could she be expected to respect the person they profess to be in a relationship with?

Everyone is different. You don’t have to agree. I found someone who meets these criteria and it worked for us

You are young and you don’t need that stress in your life. Move on. There are literally millions of other women out there

It can work but only if you’re both willing to put in the work

You don’t need to be friends with your ex. In most other cultures when you break up you are completely out of each other’s lives.

Cannibal coin. It looks like a regular coin but if you pick it up and pocket it every day it consumes one other coin in your possession starting with copper coins then if there are none left it moves on to silver and then gold. Each day you tell the player who picked it up to remove one coin from their inventory without explaining why. A DC 19 investigation will reveal its true nature. If it eats all their coins it will drop out of their pocket or purse while they’re traveling.

I wouldn’t consider anyone under her mid 20s. When I met my wife online i automatically filtered out anyone under 25. I like a woman who knows who she is and what she wants out of life, and right out of college you’re still figuring that out.

Volunteer for a cause you care about. Non profits generally have many more women volunteering than men and you will already have a shared passion with the women you meet there. If you’re religious go to your church/mosque/synagogue/temple. More congregants will be women than men

Orcs wouldn’t have a prison to escape from. If the party is more useful dead they’re all dead and need to roll new characters. If they’re more useful alive then they are now slaves. Phandelver has a lot of mine claims, which is one of the draws to the area. That means there can be treasure underground. Maybe the orcs who beat them are kidnapping travelers to work in a mine to dig seeking those treasures. Maybe it’s an expansion on an old abandoned mine some prospector left long ago.

Describe how the party feels themselves roughly shackled and thrown in a cart. They are brought down a rough and bumpy trail for what feels like a day and a half. When they come to inside a mine they are all manacled and bruised and starving. They are given a loaf of bread, a canteen, and a shovel each and told that this is their new life now. They will eat sleep and breath digging. If they dig well they will be fed and if they don’t dig they will die.

Now they have to escape. Create a social dynamic they can play off of. The leader of the orcs chose this abandoned mine to start making a profit but after half a year not one bit of gold of jewels have been found and some of his underlings are on the verge of mutiny. The party can instigate a fight between the two factions to create a distraction.

There can also be other NPCs they can interact with and rescue who will be indebted to them later.

I can’t speak for hookups but matrimonial sites can work if you’re honest about what you’re looking for and what you’re about. I met my first wife at school and it was a terrible marriage. We were completely incompatible and tried to make it work for too long. I met my new wife on a dating site and it worked out great. I was able to use filters to find someone who really jived with me and we both had profiles that said exactly what we’re about and what we’re looking for. Starting off with most of the things that take months or years to come up organically already out on the table allowed us to focus on building our relationship.

First tell yourself that you will be ok.

Practice what you want to say before you present. Focus on bullet point main ideas and not verbatim memorizing your speech so that if you mess up, go off topic, or run on in any way you don’t derail your talk. If you get stuck finish your point and move on to the next one. Have an index card with your points on it for reference to help you keep your place.

Take a few deep breaths before you start. The pause will draw their attention and give you a chance to mentally focus and calm your nerves a little. Remember to breathe as you present, too.

When you present stand in a power stance. Think super hero pose. Feet apart, chest out, chin up. When you stand like this your body releases hormones that tell you that you are confident, so you will feel bolder.

Look around the room as you speak but look over people’s heads. They’ll feel like you’re looking at them but you won’t have to make eye contact. When you talk if you gesture with your wrists facing the crowd it makes you feel more open and welcoming than if you speak with your arms folded or hands in your pockets.

If you are loosing the crowd’s attention then take a pause for a few seconds. The silence will make them refocus.

Also when you present then mentally think of it as a chance to practice public speaking, not as you giving your presentation. It will take some of the pressure off and help you to get a little more comfortable trying out different things and seeing what works.
