I don't get it. Cicadas can sit in a tree and scream all day, but when I do it I'm "Disturbing the peace" and "Banned from the zoo".
Having a hobby is healthy I suppose.

The local humane society is giving away male geese for free. I might have to go take a gander.
That pun gave me goose bumps.

Unless that hobby is licking people who have coronavirus.I don't get it. Cicadas can sit in a tree and scream all day, but when I do it I'm "Disturbing the peace" and "Banned from the zoo".Having a hobby is healthy I suppose.
I don't think you even need that last part. Licking people no matter what diseases they have is probably an unhealthy hobby.

It turns out the General and Tiny T-Rex do not handle the time change so well.
Crookshanks is handling it well, and I actually started waking up an hour earlier a few days ago and so I'm good.
Which has led to the realization that IF we're going to continue the daylight saving charade it should be switched to a Friday so people have a whole weekend to acclimate before being thrust into an earlier dawn.

Indeed. But it sucks so we shouldn’t.

On today's episode of "Public Transportation in the Bay Area":
It's the Monday after Daylight Savings Time, so people will naturally be running late.
So this morning's bus is running 4 minutes early, thus leaving stops well before it's supposed to. The buses run 25 minutes apart, so this will seriously ruin everyone's commute.
Thanks, AC Transit!

Wooooooow...
GothBard: Yeah, that driver was over 5 minutes early by the time he got to Santa Fe.
And at Kains he drove away from the curb while a woman was running to catch the bus and another passenger was going, "Hey, wait!"
She ran out into the street where he had to stop for a light, but he wouldn't open the door for her
Fortunately, she got pictures and I'm encouraging her to send them in.
"It's Daylight Savings, I'm 5 minutes early, and I'm going to just strand everyone."
EDIT: Oh, and the buses run FORTY minutes apart, so dozens of people just had their day ruined by Mr. "I can't adhere to a schedule."

Madison has specific stops that they have to sit and wait at if they're running ahead.
Fortunately our bus stop is right after one of these stops.

My recollection is that that's how MOST bus companies run: There are "dedicated" stops where buses that are running behind can catch up, and where buses that are running ahead are supposed to wait.
Apparently AC Transit does not subscribe to this model.

Illinois is in the process of staying on Daylight Savings Time from now on. Passed the House, but I don't think it's gone through the Senate yet. Pritzker is expected to approve it. Then we would just have to wait for federal approval.

We are in the hospital.
T-Minus ?? Hours to go.
I already told my daughter if she makes me wait another day, she's grounded.

Woman flew from Italy to Chicago O'Hare. Took Amtrak from Chicago to St. Louis, with all the stops in Illinois along I-55. She has coronavirus. And now she's broken quarantine in St. Louis.

Did she know?

Here's the whole series as a playlist!
So episode 4 tells us this: the "optical illusion" of trees moving past us as we drive isn't an "illusion" - or rather, if it is, so is our sense of temporal shift - because relative positioning is the same as the space axis version of relative simultaneity - that is, things can seem simultaneous from one perspective but be differentiated in time (sequential) from another, just as things aligned from one perspective can become unaligned by simply moving.

Hrm. That's... terrible.

This is the best thing ever. High school debaters across the country are pulling out all the COVID-19 DAs and running amuck. Environmentalists are cheering for the savior of mother earth. And the great old ones are merely napping and eating souls.

This is madness.
I lost interest in the second season halfway through, the constant level of crises got annoying.That is a danger, and I've seen hints of it possibly becoming a problem, so I can see what you mean. That's one of the reasons I eventually dropped The Walking Dead - just too much one thing after another. (Because it never felt like they ever made any progress, and whenever they did it was just undone the next season anyway.)
Though I also dropped that one because the people became less and less likable as time went on.
Also, also: I think the constant, "This Week in Peril" that LiS has going for it, is an attempt at a more dramatic version of the nonsense the original LiS had; I do hope they have at least one or two "downtime" episodes, though, because it'll be rough and exhausting, otherwise.
I've played D&D campaigns like that. No one wants every single fight to be a life or death matter sometimes you just want to have an easy straight forward slug out. It just gets too exhausting.True!
Gotta say - I like that there are other people in this. It really helps the series a lot.
In the original, there were three seasons, 89 episodes, that's 89 hours of content from the original; 29 episodes for season 1, 54 split between seasons 2 and 3.
Compare to 10 Episodes a Season, you've got about nine seasons of content for the new version. That said, I think they can skip some of the content, like the one with rebelling vegetables. On the other hand, if they could make that semi-reasonable and actually dramatic, that would... magical. I'm not recommending it, of course.
... unless...?
EDIT: But seriously, I love this family.
EDIT 2: Ooh! Dinosaurs Alien dinosaurs!
EDIT 3: Uuuuuuuuugggghhhh I'm such a saaaaaap. *sniff-sniff*
(That dramatic pause wasn't necessary, tho, LiS. ಠ_ಠ )

Granted, not as bad as the complete lack of plan in place for docking the cruise ship in Oakland, but still bad.

Need some advice on Shattered Star Book 2, Curse of the Lady's Light, and the GM thread would appear to be kaput.
(1) The sentinels would have been originally keyed to Ayandamahla, and the key can only be passed on using a 4-hour ritual and 500 gp worth of materials. I don't see Ayandamahla having either, so I don't know how she'd change the key.
(2) More importantly, the author doesn't DO anything with that alert. He mentions that Ashamentallu is now alerted, but doesn't say anything else about it, other than to provide her with a temporary distraction so she doesn't instantly TPK the 6th-level PCs.
(3) Speaking of which, the PCs killed the sentinels, then rested in the dungeon. So *if* she's alerted, the distraction will eventually wear off, she'll go down to investigate, and even if I let the cleric recover his spells at midnight the 7th-level party will be facing one of the nastier CR10 builds in the AP unprepared and will very likely suffer a TPK.
So, run it anyway and let the chips fly, even if it kills the party, or stick with the "spirit" of the book and have her "distracted" until they have a chance against her?

** spoiler omitted **
Any lackeys that could be sent down instead? That at least gives the PCs an idea that they will have to find a way to report back an all-clear or risk those consequences. Of course, it could be a boring conversation anyway and they can just prepare for company.
