@Leucrotta Do people not know that corned beef is heckin' awesome?

One of the hardest parts of trying to keep vegetarian is having to turn down proper not-from-a-can corned beef hash....

I look forward to getting back to using Adobe products now."

Irreverent guide to USB connectors. 

USB-A: The original rectangular one that you always have to turn over twice to fit into the slot. There's one on nearly every USB cable that isn't USB-C.

USB-B: The kinda square one used for every cheap long-abandoned printer ever so there are always a bunch of them in the way whenever another type is desired.

Mini-B: The one with the highest ratio of "confused for Micro-B" to "useful for anything other than last-gen videogame controllers".

Micro-B: Where did all my Micro cables go? Everyone borrows them, nobody returns them!

USB-C: They finally got it right! And with any luck, the cable's the right type and won't fry what it's connected to. The future is bright!

@mawr I'm lucky in that I don't have an out-of-the-house day job, so I'm accustomed to a quiet house for at least four or five hours out of the day. Those are often my best hours for working on whatever projects I have going.

While I love seeing a couple of my family members more often during this work-from-home period, it's become obvious just how useful those hours are....

@hystericempress Fair enough! And I do enjoy an easy playthrough to know what I'm up against before I do the permadeath grind. Thanks for the recommend!

sidebar to current events: right now, a lot of asian restaurants are going to be struggling because of idiots shunning them due to misguided racism. if you're gonna order takeout while you stay home, please consider supporting your local asian community first and foremost.

@hystericempress How "crunchy" is the game? I'm not the sort to micromanage a zillion stats and modifiers with dozens of ways to interact; "Shattered Pixel Dungeon" is about my speed.

GM tip: it’s fun to run non-encounter plot and NPC interactions in chat

Then run combats in person

A lot of my friends are shit role players in person, but get them in a chat window and *poof* they're William fucking Shakespeare

@Thaminga Oops, accidental shortened post!

Anyhow, news of ongoing panic and disaster are positively riveting, so anything that keeps those subjects interesting to viewers will be milked for every last bit of attention. It ain't great when that includes fear-mongering.

@Thaminga It's almost like the largest purveyors of news-themed entertainment have set their compass of journalistic ethics right next to the electromagnet of advertising sales.

today in an attempt to stay afloat. I’m fairly happy with my newfound willingness to fill the page largely with ink. Beautiful furry art and song lyrics!

hey, since it came up earlier today, i have a small page on my website explaining the monty hall problem. it was written for the audience of people who know what the solution is, and can maybe even prove it's true mathematically, but who can't understand it intuitively. i think there are a lot of bad explanations out there (or at least explanations that didn't help me), so i approached it a different way, breaking it down into cases and showing what happens if you do or don't switch in each one

i've posted this before, but today i touched up some of the wording i was unhappy with and also made the css nicer

In D&D the other day we found out that the community we were in didn't have good access to magic and weren't able to defend themselves from the people in power, so my character wrote down all the spells they knew and gave it to someone they trusted to teach the magic to other people so they could at least protect themselves better

The only good use for gathering knowledge is to share it freely and make it widely accessible

@rainwarrior That is excellent, and also your login screen image inspires me!
