not what's in the important buckets...They'd spill whatever was in those buckets in a second.{ponders feasibility of warrior/capoeira milkmaids PF2E archetype}I liked Warrior Nun Areala...I watched the (current) entirety of Warrior Nun, which is surprisingly really good. Plenty of action, relatable characters, and a positive theme. Looking forward to season 2!That's good to hear. We got through 4 or 5 episodes and my judgement was, "No show with such a stupid title deserves to be this good!"
I'll see whether we can pick it up again...
Freehold, those aren't buckets, and if something's spilling from them, urgent medical attention should be sought.
On the other hand, if they're spilling out of something...
EDIT: Yep, me too. All friends together, &c.

What's this, another day of primarily driving for one person while the other one works.
Guess which one I'm doing.
At least it's Friday.
I honestly don't care I just like to call out hypocrisy when I see it and since there's no point in being an a+*%&$! on a Friday to co-worker I'll just vent here.

Dear facebook designers, the word "faster" doesn't mean "longer".
Huh. I decided to give NoScript a try and now the Paizo forum fonts changed into an uglier one...

I might have to pick it up during the next sale. How is the single player aspect of it. I don't do multiplayer anymore, so SP is more my style.My fiance has like 600 hours+ on that game. I played it considerably less but I still like it.I've been playing a lot of Ark: Survival Evolved lately. Minecraft plus Jurassic Park with a twist.
I like it.
To echo a bit of what Vid said...
Expect to die. Quite a lot. In new and horrific ways. Ark does not give out kid gloves. Dehydration is a thing. Starvation is a thing. Being eaten by a flock of dimorphodons is a thing. Mosasaurus exists in the game, and if you get good enough you can tame one and ride it around in the lightless depths. But electric eels and jellyfish are also a thing...
The T-Rex is *not* the biggest and baddest thing roaming The Island...
Basically everything in the game except a parasaur is going to try to eat you at some point. If it's running at you, it's not wanting to be your friend. You have to balance that with building a shelter, upgrading your tools, kill the creatures v taming them for your use, breeding programs, etc, etc, etc.
And yes, you will want to tinker with the settings to get it to the speed you want it.
Hmmm, it has a long list of websites set to "trusted", some of them with rather suspicious names...
What is trustworthy in a website called "... passports.com"?

Mostly.
However...
I don't want the country to be California, but I'll take it over the United States of Texas any day, which frankly, is the alternative with Trump at this point. I'd rather be regulated than stepped on to make a profit for someone else.
V.E., I'm so sorry. My sister Eve went through the same thing a while back, at her favorite job ever, working for an electric motorcycle company. They ridiculed her because of it and then forced her out because "she couldn't cut it". She felt stabbed in the back. There was no legal recourse for her, either, so she started doing pills for the anxiety to feel better, and then we just lost her for a few years. It was very hard to know there was no way we could help her. In the end, the thing that "saved" her was having her daughter.
Hugs, my friend. There is no easy way through this, but, holy crap, we're here with you.
Thanks LM.
I wish the stupid virus hadn't shut down everything. I was doing pretty well at my last job in Ohio, until they shut down the dentists everywhere.
I do rather well at jobs where I'm hidden away from people and can just plug away at work. Extremely well, actually. Unfortunately, EVERYTHING in Florida is about dealing with people.
Gotta love my mom's reaction: "well, why don't you just find a job where you don't deal with people?"
Um, because they don't exist anymore? And if they do they're filled up? And if they're not, they won't hire someone with more holes in their resume than someone who offended a 20's gangster with a tommy gun? And you can't MAKE someone interview and hire you? And I've been trying that?
Like I hadn't thought of that or something.

Not me, I love California.
The West Coast is the only place other than Madison where I truly feel that I belong, and even liking Madison might be Stockholm syndrome from living here so long.
What kind of telegaming medium does everyone prefer? Roll 20? Zoom meetings? A Ouija board? I need to get my games going again and none of my players are willing to do so in person, nor are any of them willing to commit to spending even more time on screens than they have to. However a couple have expressed a grudging acceptance of this new reality and have asked me to research different platforms.
Roll20 for the board and Discord for voice is my recommendation.
Fantasy Grounds is, in my experience, more user-friendly and easier to preprogram a lot of stuff into than Roll20, but it isn't free (unless the GM has the deluxe paid version, then it's free for the players - otherwise everyone needs the regular paid version). It's a one-time price, not a subscription or anything, and generally worth it if all the players are really into the game, though.
I'm with Orthos on Discord for voice, though.

It won't be enough to get rid of him will it?
Roll20 is a bit clunky, but it's free, and it works.
The voice/video chat on it does suck, but it will work if Discord isn't an option.
The problem I see with Roll20 is that stepping up to paid versions doesn't take away the negatives, and the stuff you get generally doesn't make it worth the money to me.

"The air quality's been good for 2 days now. Don't you want to move back to WhimseyShire?"
"No; I don't want to be sleeping down there and suddenly have the winds shift in the middle of the night so the air quality tanks and I'm either breathing in a bunch of smoke or I have to move."
"OK. Whatever."
And yep, the winds shifted in the middle of the night last night and air quality right now is terrible.
Nice foresight, boy!

Not unless it's considered a bad enough security breach. And it probably won't be.
At best all NH can really hope for is that the person will get moved to a different department to make obvious and public mistakes that NH isn't directly affected by.

I would love to see some "fireable offenses" around here, especially things like, oh, exposing an internal employee list to the public.
But nah. Global Megacorporation is more than happy to lay people off on a whim, but it never fires people for cause.

What is trustworthy in a website called "... passports.com"?
You get to change all that. I have used NoScript for years and love it. But it's a bit fiddly to fine tune to your own use patterns.
Just click "default" and set your overall default to "ask each time" (or whatever that one is). I prefer a few clicks to get to a website when I need it, rather than open access.

Someone called in a bomb threat to the Kwik Trip a block away from our job site so we were forced to evacuate, despite my insistence that it was just some a%@#~$~ that didn't want to work on a Friday. But by the time the fire fighter went and told the sheriff deputy that we weren't leaving I'd gotten done gluing my caps so we then left peaceably.
I still don't think it was a credible threat, because who is going to bomb a Kwik Trip a mile from the edge of town.

Cell phone service is at best spotty today. Major provider is having vague reports of issues.
So of course my team is fielding tickets about people's personal cell phones not working.

I went to U.C. Berkeley in the 1980s.
You could pretty much guarantee at least one bomb threat every time midterms came around.
And yet police evacuated us all every single time, because the last thing you want to do is become so accustomed to threats that you ignore the one real one among the hundreds of fake ones.
Did a lot of standing around on campus waiting for the "All Clear", I did.

By the way, for those who have my cell number, my phone is part of that intermittent problem. I've gotten some texts, not others, and haven't been able to reply.
I have not asked my corporate IT teams to look into the issue for some strange reason.

"No."
"Did you follow the cord?"
"No; it goes under my desk and I don't want to bend down to go under there..."

Oh hey, my subs shipped yesterday, only another day or two before I get my hands on high level Starfinder.
I also got the Near Space pawn set because it includes a ton of Skittermanders, and a whole bunch of other people that I didn't recognize by name so that one will be fun to look through.
*toots own horn*
I wrote Marixah and Gideron for Near Space.|

Looking at it from here, it's hard to see what's terribly left-wing about California in general terms, especially the suburbs and rural areas, which seem to host a lot of pretty rabid far-righters.
However, this is from a European (sort of) perspective, and I'm having to squint pretty hard to see all the way past Asia and over the Pacifica Ocean at all. In terms of the US kulturkampf, I suppose it makes sense.

The only thing I know about IT and their frustrations:
*phone rings, tripping the tape recorder playback*
Recording of Roy: Hullo, IT
Caller: I'm having some trouble with my computer
Recording of Roy: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Caller: no...
Recording of Roy: Try turning it off and on again.
Caller: *delays a few seconds* ok, its back on
Recording of Roy: Did that fix it?
Caller: Yeah it did. Cheers mate!
Seriously, most of my friends are in IT, most of my players, and those who aren't understand tech and programming a million times more than I do. Hopefully all of your Fridays get better!
You got it a bit wrong:

Caller: *delays a few seconds* ok, its back on
Recording of Roy: Did you actually do it?
Caller: What do you mean? Of course I did?
Recording of Roy: Well my server logs right here show that you're still connected, you never lost connectivity, and so you never rebooted.
Caller: Are you calling me a liar?
Recording of Roy: I'm saying that according to the evidence I have that you never rebooted your computer, but you just told me you did. I can't help you if you won't do what I ask you to do.
Caller: <Hangs up and complains to Roy's manager. Roy is forced to physically go to caller's location and reboot the system himself, all while being verbally abused by caller for being an ********>
