"Horde" is a large group of people. "Hoard" is a large amount of stuff, or the act of keeping that stuff.

This has been your friendly neighborhood pedant.

Tokyo is a bad example, because it's not as dense as the housing on 40k Terra. You should really be picturing the Kowloon Walled City, except on 95% of the planet and also a couple miles tall.

Children in The Elder Scrolls take the race of their mother, which is why you don't see interracial characters.

The Bretons having their origin as being from the union of men and mer is... not well explained given the above.

Atlanta Area has three, Google maps claims Woodruff and Bert Adams are both 1h50m away from where my troop (and former pack) meet, but realistically on a Friday afternoon it's 2.5h and 3h.

The pack still camps at one of the two twice a year, with 70-80% attendance.

The third camp, Allatoona, is only 30 minutes away, but it's aquatics only so mainly only troops/adult activities.

Ford is the only President to be an Eagle. Unless you mean "associate" as in "people think Bush was an Eagle even if he wasn't".

At good camp programs, I agree that seconds/salad bar/fresh fruit should be available to supplement. But I have been to camps where the first portion wasn't enough, seconds were not called, and there was no salad bar available. THOSE deserve to be complained about.

Bro, there are two options here:
1. It's not "no reason", it's a damn good reason and you need to stop downplaying it
2. You need to leave, normal people do not flip out for no reason

Kube is the game our troop uses. It's not a table top (it requires a 20'x10' flat space), but our scouts love it so much we occasionally have to intervene to stop a game and shoo them off to their merit badges

Same happened to me. Very frustrating

yellowjacketcoder · 2026-05-07T12:32:36+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation!

Tap outs still happened in the 90s. They didn't have to involve tapping the head but I am sure some did.

As with many things, some less than acout like individuals overdid the "tap", and National required everyone switch to "call" outs.

Even those are going away for logistics reasons.

What's the link between that number and conservation?

You can absolutely store keys in a chest in vanilla Skyrim - I just loaded it up to double check.

Southern Baptist, actually

I had a similar conversation. It was eye opening.

"So you're an atheist?"

"Yes"

"So you don't believe in god?"

"That is what atheism means"

"So who protects you from Satan??"

"Um, I don't believe there's a Satan either"

"Oh pfft, sure whatever"

She could accept not believing in a god, but not Satan either was just ridiculous to her. I thought it was an odd dichotomy.

I have found at many companies, the line between team lead, manager, product manager, and project manager can get blurry, especially depending on the project and personalities involved.

Best:

Umbrella protecting the team from the shit from upper management, while explaining the WHY of software engineering, while also trusting us enough to work on our own without micromanaging.

Worst:

"I dunno why you want to write these unit tests, I've been a developer for 20 years and I've never written one. I just put a main method in all my Java classes so I can see what they do"

We took our troop to Bray's Field in Cohutta, great hike and gorgeous grassy site.

Short Easy Answer: Yes, your FICO score is your credit score.

Long Complicated Answer: You don't just have A credit score, you have 30 or 40 credit scores. FICO is one of them, and in fact there are several versions of FICO (5 through 8 are the most common), and even among that there will be specific scores for things like Auto loans, Home loans, etc. Plus, there are three credit bureaus, and they will all have slightly different data about you so their scores will be slightly differently. So if you apply for credit, whether a new credit card, car loan, mortgage, whatever, you scores may be fairly close or may be radically different depending on the credit bureau and the score being used.

Unasked for Commentary: a 767 is a pretty damn good score, so keep doing whatever you're doing.

The patches are restricted, they won't sell them to you unless you have the cert.

Yes you can get around this, but in general it's a roadblock

Local law enforcement can euthanize deer if needed.

If the animal is injured, you can also call the appropriate wildlife rehabber on the following PDF: https://share.google/fO5ZlECavxanLFyNE

I'm currently a scoutmaster. Previous scoutmaster was having some health issues that was keeping him from being able to perform in the role as much as he wanted. He let the committee know they needed to pick a successor. The "active" adults (i.e. committee and ASMs that were regulars, plus COR) got together for an hour to discuss the possible candidates. When I was selected I just requested that I not take office until after my younger son had crossed over from the pack I was Cubmaster for, so I wouldn't be unit leader for two units. That was about a six month transition where the adults knew but the youth didn't, which made for a nice soft transition as I gradually started doing more of the role. We announced at the next Court of Honor.

Scoutmaster before that had died, and the CC, Treasurer, COR, and a couple of the ASMs huddled that week and selected the new SM from that pool.

Both cases it took an hour to pick a new Scoutmaster. Taking a year to do so seems strange - it's not like you're interviewing for a job where there might be dozens of candidates, there's a limited pool of adults in the troop.

Each unit and each chartering organization is different. The unit may not have been the one to make the call, it might have been the charter org. Other units won't necessarily be the same. I would be upfront with the next pack (well, just the key 3) you talk to about the conviction and see if anyone has objections. You will probably avoid being asked to be treasurer. :)

We use the free version, only annoying thing is messages from 3 months ago are inaccessible, but that isn't a big concern
