Well in that case, the reverse would also be true. So my barbarian can throw a cannonball at someone. How about if the mage readys the shrink spell to target the cannonball just as it leaves my hand? Conservation of energy would dictate that:

Decisions like these are what makes TTRPGs so fun, and I enjos every minute of these sort ot discussions.

I love how everyone is discussing the physics of a cannonball gun DIY setup in a game where magic can instantly teleport people or turn a person into a huge dragon.

I’m not complaining, I just find it amusing.

Ouch. I feel that comment on many levels.

I have that. It works surprizing well. The bits don’t always stay in the tool, but I consider it a good tradeoff for being able to carry 36 bits in such a small package.

So am I.

Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

I can only agree. The Democrats are just as bound to the funding of the billionaires as the Republicans, they just have to hide it better in order to have a chance to win something.

The Roman Empire fell slowly, and now it’s our turn. I only hope that true socialism can emerge from the ashes.

That’s the nature of the beast. You can’t have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a “techno-baron” has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That’s decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

Ouchie. OK, I get all that, not gonna argue.

But I’m in a completely different position as a hobbyist, I have completely different criteria.

Thanks for sharing!

Prusa for the win yet again. I recently upgraded to MK4, and the thing just keeps. On. Going. Great customer support. They work with 3rd party suppiers instead of against them. Worth every cent.

I considered getting a Pilet, but I can’t justify the cost when my 5-year-old lenovo flexpad does everything I need. Then I almost got a Raspberry Pi 500 just because it’s cool, but again, I don’t have any actual use case, I just love these sort of setups.

Yes. If you have level 3, the benefits of levels 1 & 2 also apply.

At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.

I’ve bought several early access games that I don’t play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn’t do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would’ve bought it too.

I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I’m talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.

This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It’s designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.

So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a “non-steam-game” to make starting the program super simple.

I am no expert here, it’s just a thought.

Or the time. I would’ve gotten one if I had just a little more time in my life to tinker with it. The main appeals for me are:

1.it’s 100% open source, all files and specs will be released when they actually start shipping. So 3D printing a case with better colors should be easy, as well as tinkering with it in other ways.

2.Battery management is taken care of.

3. It will have an LTE hardware option soon.

3.It’s a Linux tablet with an OS that it basically ready to go from the day you get it.

4. It’s made for a rasberry pi 5 (not included), so Arch ARM should have a build for it sometime soon.

That’s not for everybody, but for some of us it’s appealing.

Yes. German is a Lego-block language. The example in the image is extreme, but there are lots of “combination” words like that.

For example, glove is Handschuh, which means hand-shoe. A shoe for your hand.

The stupidest. They are absolutely nutty.

Germany has regulations for food that are much more demanding than those of the US, so there isn’t much that fast food restaurants can do to cut costs in Germany aside from the order touchscreens and such.

Here’s an example.

Excerpt about additives:

Believe it or not, big name food brands often adjust their ingredients in European countries compared to their products released in the United States. Certain ingredients that are illegal in Europe are still allowed, and commonly used, in the United States. The following eight common ingredients are approved in the U.S. but  banned by the European Union or select European states.

• rBGH (rBST) 

  • Common foods: Milk and yogurt
  • Purpose: Injected into cows to boost milk production

• Ractopamine

  • Common foods: Pork, beef, and turkey
  • Purpose: Increases lean muscle near the end of an animal’s life

• Potassium bromate (bromated flour)

  • Common foods: Hamburger and hot dog buns, and packaged baked goods
  • Purpose: Makes bread fluffier and whiter

• Brominated vegetable oil (BVO)

  • Common beverages: Sports drinks and sodas
  • Purpose: Keeps flavor from floating to the surface

• Olestra 

  • Common foods: Fat-free chips
  • Purpose: Substitutes fat

• Azodicarbonamide

  • Common foods: Frozen dinners, pasta mix, and packaged baked goods
  • Purpose: Bleaches flour rapidly

• Coloring agents (Red #40, Yellow #6, Yellow #5, and Blue #1)

  • Common foods/beverages: Cake mix, candy, soda, and sports beverages
  • Purpose: Changes food color

• BHA and BHT

  • Common foods/beverages: Gum, cereal, vegetable oil, butter, and beer
  • Purpose: Makes food last longer

And these additive ingredients expand past the EU into the United Kingdom. For example, the American version of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is entirely different from Kraft’s “Cheesey Pasta” sold in Great Britain. Take a look at the differences below.
