That looks like a Union meeting to me. By law, management can't interfere!

I work in a Data Center. There's two of us who go onsite: the primary guy, and me. I'm a sysadmin, so it's mostly remote; I usually end up going in maybe once every two weeks or so. I have a lot of remote work on my plate. The onsite guy has been making noise that he's leaving for a few months...

They actually found a shipwreck from the correct period, and in excavating it, they found copper ingots that were actually mining slag with a thin covering of copper. So, it's possible we found one of Ea-Nasir's shipments!

Whole internet forums disagree...

Helen: "I don't have to settle! I could launch a thousand just like you!"

I'm prepping for a Masque of the Red Death 5E one-shot, and I'm shocked there's not a set of stats for generic Victorian npcs. Like, "Tradesman," or "Bobby," or "Urchin." Does everybody seriously just use, say, "Bandit" for everyone? Like, I could convert from another system, but I can't even...

Apparently Netflix's computers aren't aware that 3.(9) is 4. Sorry! My bad!

It's just math. Look, let's use the notation that (3) is a recurring infinite series of 3s and (9) is a recurring infinite series of 9s. 3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 4 3 + .(3) + .(3) + .(3) = 4 3 + .(9) = 4 3.(9) = 4

You obviously don't work with computers. Any computer will tell you the correct answer is 3.99999999... EDIT: For people who think I'm incorrect: n = 3.99... 10n = 39.99... multiply both sides by 10 9n = 36. subtract n from the left side, and the value of n from the right. n = 4...

I love good pot-kettlers. Sometimes, you can hear the air molecules slice when they juuuust miss the point. Unless you're talking about me, in which case I deliberately missed the point ironically.

Maybe? But at the same time, the bus schedules are unbelievably bad in the most densely-populated parts of the state, so bad that I could believe it was deliberate. Screwing it up this badly by random chance just doesn't seem possible!

When my wife moved to New Jersey to move in with me, I told her she needed a car. I think a popular conspiracy theory is that the bus system was deliberately crippled to encourage car ownership. I can't speak to that, but you do really need a car to get around at all. Uber and the like are...

My car is a 2009 Honda CRV. Which I bought recertified in 2012. It's showing its age, but still works great. I like my wife's Dodge Journey, which has a lot of bells and whistles mine lacks, her's being a much newer car. But I'm thinking I might replace mine with a newer model wig m when it's...

I want to remind everyone that they're only "Death Threats" if they come from the Death Valley region of F̶r̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ California. If they come from anywhere else, they're just sparkling menace.

I refer you to my pitch for "LongCon", "the convention about successfully running Kickstarters" which would be funded by its own Kickstarter, from a previous thread. My pitch would have involved panels with successful KS creators, events for making KS videos and pricing structures, etc. Sadly...

Amusement from the emails this morning: Ken Whitman is apparently determined to make good on all of the Kickstarters he has failed to fulfill, as he has updated his Kickstarters. Well, I only went in on Spinward Traveller and the Knights of the Dinner Table Live Action Series, so those are the...

I ran my Traveller Hero game on Tuesday night with no real issues, because we were able to ride it out on a cloud of ignorance. If I was still running Wednesdays, well, I might have needed a bye-week...
