Arcane mark wasn't always a touch spell. It got changed after the release of the magus. Someone realized the magus didn't have a touch range 0-level spell to use spellstrike, so it got changed rather than adding a 1d3 damage spell.
... that... is amazing. Also, wow.
Makes sense that we thought it was 0 ft., then.
I have clothes covering both my feet (and both interpretations)!

Did you check the Abscondi-Cave?Dammit. Forgot where I stashed the money.Evening all. What did I miss?- Sharoth wants to know our Isekai fantasies and everyone's too embarrassed to admit them except Limey. Because Englishmen are strange
- Many people are afraid of and violent towards needles
- My cat is on steroids
- Woran went on a worldwide bank heist/murder spree, got a stomach ache, passed out, and forgot that anything ever happened

Yes.

I, as mentioned repeatedly elsewhere, hate new classes.
But my god, the Zorro implications here would have been AWESOME.

I've seen a lot of talk that brand is a great 0-level spell to use with spellstrike, but it's inquisitor only. In fact, some magi have used traits or something to add that spell to their spell list. Plus, it actually does damage.

You are Isekaied into another world. What kind of world and what you you be?
With my luck I would be in a hard core middle ages world as an average serf with no powers. yay? Why does it feel like hard core Oregon Trail?
The one that's been banging around in my head for years at this point is two-step isekai into an alter-ego of mine in the Battletech 'verse potentially early enough to stop horribad things like the craptastic writing/etc of some stages.
Unfortunately, the location that is envisioned is one of the least hospitable of the five Successor States, and I've not been able to flesh out past this connection of 'essential'/'eta' disconnect.

Damn it! Our local Baron has just raised taxes and the weather has turned for the worse. My crop will be ruined!!! Plus the plague is coming. This "fantasy" world sucks!Just wait until you find out that the Baron is actually a weather-wizard and has caused the inclement weather in order to destroy all the crops, thus ensuring that you and all the other farmers will be unable to pay your taxes, allowing him to seize all your lands, homes, and other properties as well as placing you and your family into "indentured servitude" (essentially slavery), all so that he can claim an even larger share of the profits from the land. And, of course, the plague is a myth. Just rumors being spread so that he can enforce strict laws preventing you and your neighbors from being able to gather together and plot against him.

Grrr. WW ordered me a custom mini from Eldritch Foundry five weeks ago. They sent him the standard "track the progress of your order on our website" email. Last week, after a month of no progress being updated on their website, he emailed them to ask what was going on. They finally responded yesterday with, "Oh, yeah, our tracking is broken, but it has been shipped, but delays in the shipping process mean it could still be anywhere from 3 weeks to 1.5 months before it gets to you, and if you don't get a tracking email in the next to weeks, contact us again."
I've had bad customer service before, but dayum.

The desperation for feedback has become out-and-out pathetic.
I've already complained about companies asking for feedback before you even received your item, but this morning I got a direct Slack message from a corporate fulfillment peon who asked me to please write up a formal review of the job he did.
Uh, I filed a requisition. You fulfilled it. You didn't screw up. Is THAT really what you want as an evaluation?

Targeted social media seems to believe I'm a fairly athletic woman in her late 20s/early 30s.
I do not dissuade them of this notion.
EDIT: I get lots of ads for sportwear or women's sports gear, some ads for very practical women's underwear or swimsuits, and the occasional "gifts for your man" along the line of er... ahem... "hedge trimmers".

Hermione and I are baking cookies today to drive around town and leave little bags of cookies on the front porches of her classmates' homes.
We're making cherry-chocolate-pecan-oatmeal, and my friend Katie's chocolate drops, which taste like chocolate cherry but are actually just a chewy chocolate butter cookie with a sugar glaze with almond extract.
She wanted to make chruschiki (Polish fried dough knots), but it's too humid and rainy for them to turn out right. Also, I have no vodka for the dough.

- Almonds, pecans? Can't have that! Nut allergies
- Chocolate? Can't have that! Environmental damage
- Wheat flour? Can't have that! Gluten allergies
- Sugar? What are you thinking!?!? These are kids we're talking about!
You'd be run out of town on a rail trying to peddle that poison in Berkeley.
(Seriously... we weren't even allowed to send the kids to school with peanut butter sandwiches... in case the district ever had a student with a peanut allergy -- not a single student in the district had a documented allergy, but all nuts were still banned.)

LOL, I once took a bundt cake to a potluck at our old church in Berkeley. I put a little sign in front of it that said, "Warning: contains gluten, dairy, eggs, sugar, and possibly opium. Asbestos too. Best skip it just to be safe."
It was a good cake, though.

I had meetings scheduled from 6:30 - 9:30 am, then 11:00 - 2:00 pm.
Because productivity is far less important than letting the bigwigs talk.
So I scheduled a very light day.
6:30 am meeting: Pushed to 7.
8:30 am meeting: Canceled
11:00 am meeting: Canceled, so I grabbed a lunch break while I could
noon meeting: Canceled. While I was out on my 11:00 am walk
Suddenly I need to find a whole lot of stuff to fill my time.

Twisted things that get stuck in LM's head, volume 897:
Back in the 90s, MAD Magazine ran an article about inappropriate sitcoms we will never see. One was an air traffic controller piece featuring John Candy directing the planes into a perfect Snoopy outline, never mind the fact that seven aircraft were headed for a massive in-air collision. I can't remember the other sitcoms they suggested, except for THIS one, which will probably be the only thing left in my brain when I'm 93.
It was called Fritz Next Door, and would have starred Tom Bosley. The MAD panel imagined the opening sequence and theme song:
"Who's the guy who smells of sauerkraut and goose-steps to the door?
Who's the off-the-wall ex-Nazi with the accent we adore?
Who's been hiding out in Cleveland since the Germans lost the war?
Vy dot's ME! I'm Fritz Next Door!"
I don't know if the tune was suggested or if I just imagined it this way, but every time these lyrics pop into my head, they do so to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas", and I start singing.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us, we're at the other end of the supply chain: The worldwide chip shortage has had a massive "trickle up" effect and we're at the point that there's not much we can do but hope that the stuff we're developing now will eventually see the light of day.
From this week's team meeting:
Manager: I don't know how much I want to keep investing in this project since it looks like the product's being pushed to mid-2022.
NobodysHome: Er, but that's true of every project we're on. It's not like I have anything better to do. So I can work on this project, or I can sit around doing nothing. I'd rather work, thanks.
Manager: Fair point.

Ahh, I love walking in to work and being greeted with "Sorry I didn't do much laundry, I was studying for a test I have tomorrow". That's not why you're here. You're here to work. Not study. You should do your job, which includes the laundry, and study if you have extra time. Yes, part of why I'm annoyed is that I don't want to do the laundry, but also because some of my coworkers don't do 75% of their job because they are "too busy studying to do it". Yes, studying is important, but your job is not the appropriate place to do it.
I hate that. I worked at the campus gym for a while in college before I begged for a transfer to a different department, because *everyone* was slacking and doing homework on the job.
