That would mean it would only last when deep down.

This too shall pass and yes, a new normal eventually emerge. I have no idea as to how long this phase will be, I think we are in some kind of transitional phase, the end of the neo-liberal era and the emergence of something else.

No return to the status quo ante is possible.

Water transport is quite cheap relative to the quantity transported. Edit: Just a thought: but as far as I know, wood pulp is not transported anywhere. It is made at the paper mills and poured directly onto the forming machines.

Some cool ideas here. Yeah, chemically anything with its own oxidisers should be able to burn in water.

This is a good video with a possible explanation as to the Trump administration strategy here. It would seem to me that if true this is not a thing that will blow over in months.

I am not sure that a useful conversation can be had on this topic without considering the politics, how long they last completely depends on what the political objective is. Other than it will make stuff more expensive in the short term and there will be winners and losers. it will disrupt...

Some interesting ideas here but pick one and work out the implications. For instance: The water around such vents is usually superhot (well over 100 dec C) but not boiling because of the pressure. So how they manipulate and how to the see what they are doing? Are they immune to the heat? Also...

How do they control heat or fire? All technology beyond stone and bone needs heat or fire. To smelt metals, forge metals or distil elixirs. How do they control heat underwater with any degree of efficiency and without scalding themselves? Or do they use some kind of magical biotech? In that, all...

I voted for BECMI, for the most part I ignore alignment, but if one is going to use it, the Law/Chaos axis is the best.

I am a regular user of Maps (D&DBeyond) and FantasyGrounds and I like both for different reasons. I have used both as player and DM. I love what FantasyGrounds can do but appreciate that it is very complex. I think that my ideal VTT would be able to be both, depending on the options chosen. I...

3d is much harder than 2d. If there is one usecase where AI would be a boon, it is in 3d VTT's. Take a 2d map and create it in 3d using the 3d assets, that would sell, I think. Any VTT needs to be able to run 2d, 2d is a lot more DM friendly and more versatile than 3d. If I want to show the...

Squabbling is inevitable once an organisation gets large enough.

I am aware of the point you are making, and I think you have beaten that horse to death. I am well aware that digital information is ephemeral and I think that most people are. I do not believe that even pdfs are the answer as most people lack the skills and resources to curate a digital...

I think this is beside the point being made, we all know that anything on the cloud is ephemeral and dependant on whoever is maintaining the servers. I think that WoTC management does not seem to realise that utility software is never really done. One must iterate on the tools to improve...

Silverlight was not a showstopper, it was a mistake, but the application could have been migrated to the web.

If you just want to do this then in the campaign create a character sheet for each pc. Level one is fine and you do not need a complete character but add a token image to each character. In in the maps page when you have maps running from the campaign page and shared on discord you can use the...

Sure but it is a social killer

Does not matter, I cannot recall names in real life, I can just totally blank, even with people I know, I can meet someone in the street and I can tell you how many kids they have, where they work and so on but not their name. It will pop back into my head on a random day in the next couple of...

I have read some Austen but not all because I find that I cannot recall it afterward. I think it may relate to my near total inability to recall names, (This extends into the real world), perhaps I should watch more of the movie and TV adaptations. Then I could relate the characters to the...
