Yeah, ALL cis males use dozens of filter apps to see what they look like as a woman and ask random strangers if they “think this girl is cute”

Totally normal cis thing to do. Right guys?

… Right?

This man single handedly answered the greatest question of our generation:

“How neat is that?”

Sitting in whichever space I can fit it, usually tangled up with my wife’s bike.

Space isn’t abundant where we are and they’re bulky.

But hey, weather is off-and-on good enough to ride, so we get to use them plenty.

You know, quantum resonance in the Heisenberg compensators. Sometimes the dice spit out an impossible number.

Don’t even get me started on the time we rolled a natural negative

I once had the opportunity to take a really nice microscope from a school district I was working for when I was 18.

I was working on sorting all the old curriculum for 1st-12 grades core subjects for disposal/recycling and then receiving new stuff.

They were updating the entirety of all science departments and the highschool was getting rid of their old microscopes. The ones that were in working order were to be placed aside for donation, and the non-working ones simply tossed in the dumpsters.

I was allowed to take whatever I wanted that was to be thrown away, but I figured I didn’t want to spend time and money tracking down the right bulb to fix the best non-working one, and decided not to take one.

Current me is cursing younger me because I could have easily swapped out the light with a LED, and even if I couldn’t, there were LITERALLY microscopes with broken optics and working lights, and I could have just taken one extra one for parts…

Young me was dumb.

I did snag a mostly-complete rock sample set for demonstration of various geology testing techniques. Also a fist-sized chunk of silicon.

So I wasn’t completely dumb.

I have told managers, to their faces, I do not have a smart phone… While holding my smart phone.

So far, while most have quite noticeably glanced at my phone, none have actually called me out on it.

If any of them ever do, I will just get a prepaid flip phone and use that for work.

I’m always a fan of “best possible outcome” for 20, and “worst possible outcome that doesn’t immediately kill anyone” for nat1.

If you’re 2ft tall and trying to destroy an iron wall and roll a 20, you successfully scrape some iron off the wall. It doesn’t just collapse spontaneously. If you roll a 0 1, your attack bounces off and your weapon breaks. Luckily it didn’t rebound and hit you.

It makes things more believable, however rule of cool is obviously above that. So if you can do a flip off a cliff onto the back of a dragon and convince it to attack the tarrasque for you before it eats you, and roll a 20 for all that, you better believe that dragon now considers you it’s deity, and will die in a ball of flames, acid, ice, etc, in your name while flying headfirst down the tarrasque’s throat. The tarrasque obviously dies from this, since it’s so epic.

I guess it really depends on the stakes.

Men is indeed too headache.

I once ran a campaign of a game similar to D&D where one of the players had geared a character to be super charismatic and had an end goal of being able to persuade anyone to do anything.

She kept persuading the random side characters that helped them into joining, until they had a small army of Merry Men.

Yeah, the campaign took a back seat while they played Robin hood for awhile.

She started specifically targeting side npcs because I wanted to drop a character that was making my vocal chords hurt. They liked the npc because he was basically a child’s vision of a stereotypical pirate.

Oh, my rooms tend to get hot by themselves, so it’s less “cool it then heat it” and more “cool it, then stop cooling and let it warm up naturally around morning”

Except in winter, I guess. Then it’s just “don’t heat until morning”

I have always wanted a programmable thermostat, so I can sleep to nice cool air, but wake up to almost uncomfortably hot, because that will force me to get out of bed and be something resembling human.

Instead I’m a burrito, all wrapped up and warm

Good. I can toss my other blanket on top and get snuggled in.

How I’ve felt since getting fired this week:

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried

Insane bullshit.

I have a kit with me every day of my life, and I’ve had to refill it many times due to using it on others.

It would be pure coincidence that I happen to be carrying a first aid kit on any given day, and if I’m going to a peaceful protest I’m bringing my trauma kit because the entire fucking world knows how cops treat protesters.

Why, have you not played any other Kojima games?

Look, if your mirror doesn’t come with at least 4k/240fps, then you’re not getting the full MirroreXperience™

Because their only experience with anything involving trans people is in porn, and there is a huge amount of trans-fem content when compared to trans-masc.

So they literally don’t think about FtM trans people at all.

It’s also why many of them view trans people simply existing as inherently sexual.

Knowing nothing about these specific setups, but knowing how charging lithium ion and LiFePO4 batteries work and my own experience with charging at different rates, yes.

It definitely reduces the battery life to jam that much current in and out of it, the higher rate you charge, the less accurately you’ll get to 100% charge, and you don’t want to overcharge or repeatedly undercharge it. This will more rapidly degrade the battery.

That said, with battery prices plummeting, and presumably only doing this when you absolutely NEED the charge ASAP, it might be worth it to have the ability to charge that fast.

Plus it would make for some sick EV racing, when you have set battery sizes and 10-30 second pit stops for more power being part of the race.
