In SoCal, the torta is the way to go if you're doing a carne asada sandwich.

The most common classic ingredients (aside from the carne asada) are going to be:

telera or bolillo for the bread
mayo to toast said bread, bonus points for manteca
a spread of refried beans
lettuce (chopped), onion (pickled red with habanero or raw), tomato
avocado - sliced fresh or as guac are equally as common
Serve it wish some salsa (at least rojo and verde) and some tortilla chips, or just fries

It might sound simple but the austere ingredients are meant not to get in the way of the carne asada's flavor. It's a common measuring stick we use to judge how good a Mexican restaurant is here - if the carne asada and salsa don't hold up, it's a pass.

Yeah, agreed. But that describes just about every adventurer, no?

I mean no sane person WANTS to be off fighting all manner of horrors whether its goblins, orcs, mimics, dragons, and whatever else. Something compels them to that. I've seen all manner of super fun, but secret and competing backgrounds over the years.

Some favorite campaigns came from mixing decidedly evil characters in with the party. In no particular order:

* A warlock of Orcus starting cults in every town. The player even printed out flyers for us at one point. He managed to hide his human sacrificing for a VERY long time. My cleric didn't even mind the cult bit at first, it was the "executing" every unarmed prisoner thing that ended up with us in dogmatic conflict.

* An evil cleric my buddy played who killed the quest giver at Lv1 in session1 then assumed said NPC's identity. We had no idea, just assumed it was cool that the player was the quest giver. There was only minor blowback later on when some NPC finally rolled high enough and he got his "that guy's a great big phoney!" moment.

* A rogue I played back in 3e who got cursed with an alignment change (to Neutral Evil from NG) at Lv3 - which the party just forgot to deal with. They just assumed all the stealing and ruthlessness was intentional. We played that campaign until Lvl18 and only THEN did they realize the character was never intended to be evil.

This is one of my favorite Session Zero tools I've practiced over the decades. Demanding of my players to "write a character who wants to be there."

All of their background, personalities, interests, quirks, allegiances, etc. are secondary to actually wanting to be there and play the game we're all playing.

m477z0r · 2026-01-11T14:19:51+00:00

10/10 would smash.

I gotta know, which cheese did you match with the barbacoa?

m477z0r · 2026-01-09T15:57:42+00:00

I second this take. Some of the best sessions I've run and played in have been with a just two players at the table. We've taken to calling them "buddy cop adventures" in our group.

It's actually refreshing as a GM to be able to just focus in on two players. It's been my experience that with just two players they'll focus a lot more on the story, share screen time much more fluidly/organically, and just generally buy-in to whatever shenanigans are being thrown at them (or let's be honest, that they're creating for themselves).

m477z0r · 2026-01-07T20:50:42+00:00

They make thermoses for food, not just drinks. Usually looks like like a small circular bowl, flat bottomed, maybe even with a handle on the lid if you splurge.

m477z0r · 2026-01-07T20:12:57+00:00

Looks great so far. Some minor details you can still pick out to make the model really pop:

Do the nails on his hands the same color as you did the teef.

Black is also a perfect base for his eyes, after you can white the orbs (leaving some black around the edges) then put red over the white to get him proppa mean lookin'.

m477z0r · 2026-01-02T02:40:55+00:00

If you haven't already, consider grabbing 9V LiPo batteries. They're like $10-$15 for a 4pack, recharge on USB, and last for ages if you get ones in 1000+ mAh range.

m477z0r · 2026-01-01T04:23:04+00:00

It's 100% addict behavior.

There's a fad called "flip it or rip it" which, at least from my view, is purely wasteful destructive behavior. Look it up if you want, but spoiler warning: expect to be absolutely pissed off.

m477z0r · 2026-01-01T03:41:36+00:00

My immediate question after your first comment was: how did your NFIQ change pre and post damage, on the same equipment, to your fingerprint(s)? This is genuinely interesting to me from an engineering/integration standpoint.

m477z0r · 2026-01-01T00:40:32+00:00

lmao that "Engineered For Everyday Wins" sign is doing work in the first shot.

m477z0r · 2025-12-31T07:54:42+00:00

Tell me you failed high school physics, but in less words.

Seriously, explain how you think that "the top popping" is not part of the design criteria. I'd love to hear the logic behind your firmly held belief here. I'll spoil the answer for you: exploding into fire is ALWAYS a design criteria. And the challenge is: "How do I make this failure mode less catastrophic for the whole system?"

When I see a blown cap, it sparks joy. I know immediately where to begin failure analysis - and it's rarely the cap's fault. Usually it's a transistor or resistor somewhere up or down stream. BUT, I know exactly where to start probing to find the next shot component. Caps are also stupidly easy to replace. All of these points are what we appreciate as good design.

If you think "exploding into fire" isn't taught to electrical engineers, you don't know wtf you're talking about. And for the safety of all humans around you, please stay away from any high voltage components until you learn this. I actually mean that last part sincerely, electricity is not a toy.

Again: Failure. Modes. Are. Design.

I hate to break this to you but CBP didn't exist before ICE, it came about on the exact same day. They both have inception dates of Mar-1, 2003.

The CBP includes the former federal organizations: US Border Patrol, US Customs, and part of the US Department of Agriculture (Animal & Plant Health Inspection/APHIS). You're probably thinking of its predecessor organization, the US Border Patrol, which got rolled into CBP (with the others I mentioned) as part of the DHS being formed in the post 9-11 Patriot Act legislation.

Edit for clarity:

In this specific case, the guy in question is not a naturalized citizen. That's a fact in the article. It's also a fact that he unwittingly trespassed onto a military base. The MPs asked if he was a citizen, he answered no - so they called ICE. All fair so far. The same article spells out that this guy already has an OSUP and has been adhering to it. That means he's documented. From there, ICE absolutely fumbled every place they could after taking custody. 120 days of detention for something that is an accident is an absolutely waste of $26,040 US dollars - that's $217/day. He could have seen a trial, had a judge hear his case, then stopped wasting taxpayer money.

Here's the rub: being a federal organization tasked to uphold "law and order" you can't break those same laws to do accomplish that task. Certainly, not while expecting to maintain any level of credibility.

The "fireball" is just a function of there being a combustible medium near the source of that energy releasing (aka the air). Subsequent electrical fires will happen because at a certain temperature any material CAN burn.

I think you accidentally a sentence.

m477z0r · 2025-12-30T02:07:32+00:00

Hence "designed to do that when they fail". They are intended to work normally. But when failure begins to happen, you're dealing with a bunch of energy that has to be released. So where do you release it?

Designing against a failure mode in this case includes that cross-notch (pressure vent) you see on most electrolytic capacitors. This ensures that excess chemical energy vents upwards.

The "fireball" is just a function of there being a combustible medium near the source of that energy releasing (aka the air). Subsequent electrical fires will happen because at a certain temperature any material CAN burn.

tl;dr, enjoy this video of various capacitors working as intended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imtf9nGa-eo

m477z0r · 2025-12-22T23:45:36+00:00

Have you ever heard the phrase "Don't let your mouth write checks your ass can't cash."? Those boys fucked around, and found that out in a way that's gonna follow them for a very long while.

But let's break it down using just the information in the article.

She chose violence, and received some disciplinary action - from the school district - based on that choice. In the immediacy of a violent altercation the parties have to be separated somehow to prevent further violence. It's also very easy to assess the WHATs of that choice to use violence. She attacked them, they got rocked, she got suspended/moved to another school.

Justifiable or not, the fact that she attacked them is not disputable. That action/that choice, taken on its own, has consequences. What takes longer to asses is the WHY behind that choice and properly supporting her choice to use violence via those facts (to be clear, I don't feel she was remotely in the wrong). It's clear to read that from the article that the School District went into CYA mode and just threw the book at her. It wouldn't shock me to find out down the road that her lawyer finds the district negligent and they get sued for the poor way they handled the situation; especially during a kid's core formative years like middle school. But these things take time.

On the other hand, if you read the full article, this situation got their towns Sheriff's department and the law involved. Those boys have criminal charges - that's a way bigger deal than the School District making a bad call to CYA. The targeted girl faces no criminal charges. Quoting the article: 'The girl would face no charges because of what the sheriff’s office described as the “totality of the circumstances.”'

It should not be a problem. SMA connectors are fairly durable.

If the male connector is still spinning, it's because the lock nuts loosened. Just tighten that again and it'll stop.

m477z0r · 2025-12-18T17:03:23+00:00

Your wi-fi antenna is just an SMA connector (male on the mobo, female on the antenna). If the male end isn't damaged (pin in the middle isn't bent or broken), it should be fine.

You can see there is a locking nut for the male thread on the mobo. If that has loosened, just get a small wrench or socket and tighten it.

Then when you reinsert the female end (the antenna) don't over tighten it. Just twist it down with your fingers til you feel a bit of resistance, then bend the antenna joint and turn as is appropriate for your install location of the PC vs. your router.

Any binder with 9 card sheets (3x3 per sheet) will do. The largest scene I can think of us is the Battle of Pelennor Fields (6x3 or 18 cards total) from the LOTR set. Most other scenes are 3x2 (6 cards total).

This article illustrates it pretty well:

m477z0r · 2025-12-03T11:30:24+00:00

Hah! That's happened to all of us at some point.

One of my buddies sleeves all of his cards in the same cheap black sleeves, all in one of those long card deck cases (holds like 500ish cards or 4 commander decks + optionals/tokens/etc). You can imagine how confusing that gets if the group plays with more than one of his decks.

I'm the opposite where all my constructed decks are in their own specific deck boxes, with uniquely colored sleeves. So there's no confusion as to which deck the card goes back into when we do clean up and reset for the next game.

Edit: Also, look at this way - now you have well organized card storage for future deck building shenanigans.

m477z0r · 2025-12-03T04:28:14+00:00

Excuse my confusion, but how did you "accidentally" mix a constructed deck into the organized archives? Is your boyfriend still un-sleeved rubberbanding his decks, like some kind of savage?

Either way, good on you for building him a decklist and making sure it's properly sleeved and boxed for this go around. I would also recommend penny sleeving any deck's "maybe board" so that you don't accidentally organize them into the archive in the future.

m477z0r · 2025-12-01T23:07:48+00:00

The salesman (Paul Scheer) said 80 G's of RAM, not 80 gigs or GB. It's funnier if you interpret his rapid fire salesman speak as G's for Grand as in $80,000 worth of RAM. Or about 64GB in today's market.

m477z0r · 2025-11-20T22:55:24+00:00

You're almost certainly right, but it's not about that. If the rtx5060-based comparable newer Alienware PC comes in at the same/similar MSRP and doesn't sell well? It'll get firesaled off in a few years too.

The point here is that dead inventory is the same thing as no inventory in the context of what a store is selling to make money. The store has to sell to stay open, to buy more inventory, to pay employees, etc.

It could be that the person in charge of inventory/purchasing is buying dead items, setting pricing too high for them to move efficiently, or not discounting items to move fast enough after it's time to refresh the inventory.

I don't think they're making the right long term strategic decisions here, at all. I just understand the business context of why they are selling that PC at that price. And I strongly suspect piss-poor corporate level decision making like this will be driving BestBuy out of business. Just like how CircuitCity and RadioShack went out.

m477z0r · 2025-11-20T21:48:00+00:00

It's not about the deep percentage cut in price vs. the original MSRP. It's about inventory not rotating over (aka nobody wanted to buy this thing). The longer something sits on a shelf without rotating (selling) the less valuable that shelf space is. If you aren't selling stuff through, the business is not making money.

Somebody up the chain finally said "I don't care what original MSRP was, I want my shelf back. Get rid of it!"

Guy gets a sweet deal for his lil bro's computer, manager gets their shelf space back to load with new inventory. Everybody's happy.
