No it doesn't.
So, what's everyone's favorite Pathfinder city or (cities if you prefer).
Has to be a city, but doesn't need to be populated (everyone loves a lost city!).
Does the city we created for Kingmaker count?
If not, Torch, Kaer Maga, Sandpoint, and Magnimar are all pretty good choices. I'd want to go look for stuff, first, before finalizing, but I like this question.
Ooh, yes. Add this to my list too.I liked the flying sky-cities of the Shory. They remind me of Corum.So, what's everyone's favorite Pathfinder city or (cities if you prefer).
Has to be a city, but doesn't need to be populated (everyone loves a lost city!).
Oh! Yes, agreed!
Also, while the APs come to mind the most readily, I'm not sure they're exactly the places that are highest on my list. Places like Holomog or possibly the empire in Jade Regent (I've forgotten the name, and know the names of zero cities) are much higher than most Avistan cities in my book.

OK. Work is actually asking me to work (the nerve!), but the whole, "Everyone is dishonest if given half a chance" mentality always bothers me, because it's been proven untrue time and time again.
If you leave a wallet with an I.D., a nearby address, and $100 cash in it lying on the ground, more than half of the people who find it will return it with the cash still in it.
Yet we love to obsess about the people who don't.
Negativity sells.

Eh, my experience doesn't line up with those numbers. So I've either lived my entire life surrounded by opportunistic scumbags or the data isn't universally accurate.

I'm reviewing some of our new products, many of which are really really neat, but one of them is an "augmented reality" tool (think Pokemon Go) to help service technicians identify problems and repair the devices. Of course, the sales angle is, "You no longer have to train your service technicians!"
And I'm sitting here watching the demo, waiting for the computer to say, "It rubs the lotion on its skin."

Got my email about orientation today.
Neat fact: the job is for the umbrella of doctors' offices I use for my primary care provider, my psychiarist and my therapist. The network apparently also runs the youth mental health center. They're so nice, and won't turn you away if you can't pay. They also do job assistance and have a mobile dental unit. Great network to get in with!
If I wonder if I move to FT one day I'll get a discount at those. They also have people who work at the local hospital, but that is under a different umbrella I believe.

The real question is how long until the product is available to consumers and we can cut out the middleman altogether? Why pay a company to send over a guy who isn't trained using a product I could use?

As I was picking him up from the after-school care room today, my son looked at a box of "multi-grain" crackers and read aloud "military grade crackers". He got mad because he couldn't understand why I was laughing.
And it gave me a great idea:
I'm going to go to the military surplus store and pick up a couple of MRE's.
So the next time he complains that whatever really good meal I just spent two hours making is "DISGUSTING", I can quietly take his plate away and serve him an MRE instead.

My mom just served dinner for breakfast the next day if I didn't eat it.
And lunch.
And dinner again.
Eventually I'd break down.

As stated, this was in regards to the package video. Not the cash truck story.cash tends to be the great exception, as it is not "stuff" but actual money.Depends on the level of desperation in the area. Unattended packages are usually just that, desperation. B and E leans heavily towards malice.I dunno. None of the people in that video look at all desparate. Most seem to be just going about daily business then see an opportunity for free stuff with no consequence.

You know, I just realized that wasn't a musket? Actually, though, is it a crossbow instead of a musket? I've not seen the original picture.I just finished painting the stairwell. It looks awesome now. I have muscle ache in my handsWell done!
... speaking of Cosplay , have you considered cosplaying of your avatar?!
Oooooooooooh, AVATARCEPTION~!
EDIT: that said, hand-cramps are just about the worst.
It would be cool to cosplay my avatar. But I dont think I could be trusted with a crossbow.
...I'm an adult. I swear...Ive done Dr. Who cosplay (10th doctor), and Fiona from Advenutre Time.
Its a crossbow. I've seen the art. And own the mini :P

Oh, Gothbard points out that it's an easy argument: Just point out to the staff that "Vietprom" is MUCH better than "Prom-iscuity".

Grr... speaking of teachers making school unfun for everyone:
Impus Minor had a "group test", which is a new fad around here. Impus Minor, being very clever, did the entire test and gave his team the steps and the answer so they could all write it down (students aren't allowed to write on each other's sheets). His test was 100% correct.
The teacher took the group tests and *CLAIMS* that she chose one test at random. Yet she chose the test where the reprobate student had written nothing but the one-word answers. No steps. No reasoning.
So Impus Minor did a test, got it 100% correct, and is getting a 0% because one of his teammates was a flake.
Seriously, teacher? WTF lesson is THAT supposed to be teaching? Sometimes your teammates will be flakes and you'll get punished for it? Nice life lesson!

It's supposed to teach "teamwork".
Problem is, all you need is one kid in the group to be an ****** and everyone else suffers for it.
And after watching 4 years of this tomfoolery with Impus Major, it teaches them NOTHING about teamwork and everything about, "Working in groups SUCKS!"
So, like, am I the only person that ever wanted to play one of those soldiers in LoZ: Link to the Past?
Like, obviously you couldn't play the whole game as one, but...
... it just seems like a cool idea.
So, for example, you'd start as one of those green-armored dudes with the little dagger, and then you'd slowly start to upgrade - you can get the bigger sword, the pitchfork, the ball-and-chain, and so on as you upgrade your weaponry (probably with the ability to go back and forth; the bow-and-arrow and whatever comes later, and bombs), and you upgrade the armor from the green basic or blue basic - I was never really sure which one was easier/which one was more basic - to the other one to the red to the horned blue armor, to the gray/spiky miniboss guy (and maybe a golden version?).
Also maybe get an "ambush" power up/skill?
Or maybe you start off as a thief and you wander around Hyrule doing your own adventures, stealing/upgrading armor as Link does stuff?
If some other progress is needed, maybe get a bottle to collect Bees and Fairies and Potions (like Link).
Also, maybe the ability to turn into a Buzzblob/Cukeman {drain some sort of magic meter; maybe require some sort of paste or oil or something}, a Crow {to fly, similar to link; maybe requires a "feather cloak" or something}, a Zora {to swim, obvs; requires the Ambush ability, some sort of fire-power, and a "scale mask" or something}, or a Poe {astral projection, yo! ... maybe even literally, with some upgrade, you can first project as a Poe, then project to the "Sacred/Dark" realm as a Hyu?}.
Finally, the ability to follow up with wizzrobe training (possibly from the witches in the hut, and/or those fortune tellers). You could follow this up with the ability to become a "fire wizzrobe" or a "darknut" at the pinnacle of your career (I don't actually know if a "fire wizzrobe" is more powerful than a "wizzrobe" - it's a Four Swords thing, which I haven't played; the reason I mention it is because apparently LttP and FS were released as a single package at some point; but anyway, the point is to have a kind of "high point" or "pinnacle" of your career, as it were).
You could even have a different fate after death (stalfos at its most basic - perhaps this can be upgraded with different kinds; Stalfos Knight with full knight training; "skull" wizzrobe if with wizzrobe training; gibbidos if with both; and being reduced to a stalfos upon second destruction regardless of the creature you once were (unless you were a stalfos already, in which case... that's the end!).
If you go with this idea, the thief might be one of many being chased out of the Lost Woods by Ganon's incursion, or (if you go with a darker narrative) one who wants to win Ganon's (or Agahnim's) favor (possibly even in relative innocence) and so looks to become a servant or apprentice... but must prove himself "worthy" or something, first. Another idea is that the thief just wants cash money to upgrade his pad, or become another king of thieves (like the Legendary Ganondorf) and collects and uses Rupees to purchase traps, servants, and/or monsters (and/or train or upgrade them).
A more basic and straight-forward idea is that you're simply the last of the Hyrulian soldiers and don't fall prey to Agahnim's power (maybe even that guy that talks to Link at the beginning of the game...). If you like, you could even be a citizen of Kakariko village, instead!
Anyway, it's an idea (or set of ideas?) that I've had for a loooooooooooooooong time, as you can see - idle thoughts that will almost certainly never come to fruition. But a neat thought, nonetheless. To me, anyway!

Can confirm, had similar incidents growing up, despise group projects to this day.
