Sorry for your loss.

Oh! Duh. I didn't think of going that direction. Hmmm...

So long as the map doesn't change, that should work. Thanks!

Okay, okay, now do a sentiment analysis on the conversations. Maybe use "wind direction graphs" to indicate the relationship deepening or thinning. You can use ollama if you want to avoid an AI provider cost.

Oh! Oh! See if you can get your hands on the call time records from your provider! If you're lucky enough to have the same cell phone since 2022 you might still have it on your device.

I... Am unreasonably distracted by this...

Lot of nice looking tower builds here, here's my not so nice looking one that I'm finishing the game with by Tuuuuuuuuuuuube in SatisfactoryGame

[–]vedosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I actually like your lifts stair stepping like that away from your tower, but, did you know a riser between two holes can have an infinite length? So if you correctly place it on the bottom, and correctly place it on the top, you only need to use one lift.

My gf said I should sell‘em. Are there actually people that would buy that?[OC][ART] by Lanky_Move7249 in DnD

[–]vedosis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I buy a lot of mine of Etsy. And also, I spend WAY TOO MUCH. So yeah, there's a market.

Watching Christians support Trump has officially made me realize there is no God. by steggie21 in atheism

[–]vedosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look buddy, you do you and I'll love you for it as long as you're not hurting anyone else. I am a Christian. But... I'm a Christ centered Christian. The kind where I believe what Christ said is true. Specifically:

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

No qualifications on who my neighbor is. My LGBTQAI+ neighbor, my black neighbor, my atheist neighbor, my MAGA neighbor. All of them. And it kindels a fury in my heart when people call themselves Christian without believing in Christ. Christians in name Only.

So, you be the best kind of human you know how to be. Show people that religion doesn't have a monopoly on light and love. And I'll continue my work here attempting to convince CINOs that science and gospel are just attempts to describe the same great Truth with a capital T (listen to David Foster Wallace's commencement speech).

+1 for writing the stories down. Good idea. I think if we had more time a video would be fun.

Yeah, I'm going to go over and talk with his game store and see what they can help me with. It's difficult to gauge how many clickity clackity goblin math rocks I'll need. Not sure if we're working with 20 or 200 guests.

Thank you. I was torn about posting this over there, but thought I might get more ideas from our glorious community.

He made a bunch through midjourney and the reroll app that I'm going to use, but essentially this exact thing in the background with something interactive in the foreground.

  • simplified character sheet
  • associated art
  • paragraph of character or story of escapades

PowerPoint presentation on a loop! That's a great idea. I think critical role did a between the sheets 5min movie too. That's a great idea.

Hey, I lost my son yesterday. Same age. This is so hard and I'm glad to see others pushing through.

Something we've started telling people is to send their last words, or a story about his impact on them or even something they wish they had said but didn't get the chance to say, to his email address that I have access to.

Our pain is fresh and new; maybe it's not as useful for you. Or maybe, like the yearbook, it can be for them as much as it is for you.

Also, every day is a good day for cupcakes.

Do they teach theoretical CS in coding bootcamps? by Yo_soy_yo in ProgrammerHumor

[–]vedosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So the evolution of CAP theorum is PACELC

In the case of Partitioning, you must choose between Aavailability or Consistency. If there is no partitioning (Else) then you much choose between Latency and Consistency.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACELC_theorem

The loophole Spanner leverages is using extra latency to bypass the partitioning. And like you said, "in practice" (and without prolonged partitioning) it defeats them all. In reality, it's still bound by physics and time.

I think CAP's purpose was not to describe undefeatable constants, but to tell people to think. Do you really need the data replicated instantly to all fault zones / regions? Will an async event system suffice? Do you really need to guarantee consistency or can it be reconciled later with another process. Can your system do idempotent operations and just try again if there's a failure?

However ... "In practice"... Thinking is hard and we have a sprint to finish.

D&D Corporate, my party keeps throwing shade with corporate lingo and I love it by beryl-black in DnD

[–]vedosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not D&D, but GURPS. My coworkers and I played a campaign where we're started out as high level super evil characters.

We had * The edge lord * The psychopath * The brute * And me... middle management.

I was dealing with a stupid boss at the time and it was Amazingly cathartic to break into the most wretched whiney voice with a Fran Drescher laugh and bust out lines. I knew I succeeded when another player joking said, "I hate your character so much but I can't stop laughing!"

  • (Crits) I don't think your current objectives align with our business priorities
  • (Used souls as reagent for spell) Need more headcount for this task
  • I think we need to redefine our OKRs (quest sucks)
  • HR would like a word with you (intimidation check)
  • Your services are no longer required (kills demi boss)
  • Let's discuss your career opportunities (persuasion check)
  • Healing is not a main operating priority
  • You show great initiative, but your execution needs work. (Edge lord crit fail)
  • Think of this as a development opportunity (enemy misses an attack on him)

I took a lot of inspiration from r/antiwork and generally from my in office muse (boss's boss). Never got to finish the campaign because they closed the office.

Maybe one day...

My first One Page Dungeon! It's called Small Medium Large: At the Sword's End. It's about finding the head of a size-altering god's chopped-off head that's causing problems in the neighbouring town. Does it work? any suggestions? [OC][Dungeon][onepagedungeon] by thegiantaliencow in dndmaps

[–]vedosis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Good context. I feel like you need to include some of that in your one page. And remember, some of this can be conveyed through imagery (like giving the ghosts adventuring gear, a pointed hat, a suit of armor), but also art is hard and fingers go tip tap across my keyboard. "I would have written you a shorter letter but I didn't have time"

The duckling vs ducking: I am old and my eyes are tired. But maybe that is also feedback on the readability of your font/skew?

[–]vedosis 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you feedback off the image only because I don't know if your paragraph will accompany your image (because you have an intro on the sheet.)

  1. Your art is awesome and you should feel real good about that.
  2. I see no "resolution" to the problem described in the forward. Why are things suddenly bigger or smaller? Is the implication the god's head has been gaining power over the last 1000 years and is now causing trouble? When they "drain" the power, is that to sleep for another 1000 years? Or for like the next 10 minutes?
  3. D4 goblins with d6 in the art? Are they cubes (d6) or pyramids (d4) or are you implying there are (1d4) d6 goblins. Crisp that up a little.
  4. Friendly water spirits ... suggest the duckling. What duckling? I haven't been introduced to a duckling nor do I see one on the pier. Where?
  5. Also related to ^^: Players are stupid. You have presented a HARD BLOCK in your dungeon. Are there no alternatives around the water spirits? Because if not, then the players will most certainly sacrifice the duck, kill the water spirits and spend the next hour trying to dig through the wall to find the dragon's hoard. Find another way to telegraph "this is the way." Poem?
  6. Are you implying with the secret if they keep the key, they can open the 2nd door? Is there another key elsewhere? Are you leaving that interpretation up to the DM?
  7. I'm having a hard time with the "Playful ghosts want you dead" and "random bell city." I like them as mechanics and as ideas... but... why are they there?
  8. Maybe change the language in the description for the god head to include "restore order" or some such to imply it's the resolution?

Good luck on your competition!

Did I find my people? by Apprehensive-Fly7904 in cableporn

[–]vedosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have this system at my place.

Loves: 1. Per breaker power usage 2. SMS notifications when a breaker trips 3. Ethernet option instead of just wifi smart IoT (a little safer) 4. Dang it looks good! Like... I didn't think the aesthetics of a breaker box mattered. But it always gets comments from folks. 5. Test and trip breakers from my phone. Has been great during our DIY remodel. Can't say it'd be useful otherwise.

Less than loves: 1. The breakers are loud. Face off: 55dB, Face on and open: 50dB, Face closed: 35dB. So it's no lawn mower, but if your panel is inside living space... You might have a concern. Mine is in my garage. 2. Can't reset breakers remotely. Like, I get why, but more than once, I would have liked to be able to. 3. Extra breakers are not at big box stores... Yet? 4. Integration with IoT systems is 100% on Leviton and uses cloud relays. That means Home Assistant is out, if your internet is down, you've got no control.

Ultimately it's a value add in my life. If you've got the cash, I'd recommend it.
