Nothing short of handing them cash in person is truly a guarantee. Really depressing how it’s turned out.

I played in a FFG Star Wars group for a few months and it really was so freaking unintuitive the symbols and colors that they used. It felt like they wanted to simplify things but instead you had to keep track of green, yellow, purple, red, black, blue dice and like 5 or 6 different possible roll outcomes, you have to remember which symbol cancels which and also keep track of which skills are adding or subtracting dice…it really made me miss the simplicity of a D20.

Okay I’ve got to ask how you lost the championship? The difficulty of that game is uh…balanced for kids. 😅

Truth be told the nugget about the same gasses being released from digestion and decomposition was news to me, so thank you for that. My knee-jerk reaction was to refute it but I realized that I truly didn’t know for sure. So I checked, lo and behold, I was wrong, and now I’ve learned something today.

Not necessarily cow farts, but manure, fertilizer, and landscaping.

Methane comes primarily from livestock digestion (known as enteric fermentation) and the way livestock manure is managed. It contributes the most to agricultural emissions of greenhouse gases.

The second largest contributor is nitrous oxide, which results mostly from agricultural fertilizer application to soils and from manure management.

Carbon dioxide emissions come from increased decomposition of plant matter in soils and from converting lands to agricultural uses. Those emissions are partially offset by the increased plant matter stored in cropland soils.

You’re not wrong about the same gasses being created by decomposing grass and digested grass, but like most things, it’s a multifaceted issue.

As they say, you can’t get snakes from chicken eggs.

I wonder about the effects of having a low grade constant stressor like that.

Heart disease like irregular heartbeat and stroke. Gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and IBS. Increased susceptibility to illness. Ability to learn/memorize/perceive are reduced. Not to mention the effects of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as drinking, smoking, drugs etc.

Many disorders originate from stress, especially if the stress is severe and prolonged. The medical community needs to have a greater appreciation for the significant role that stress may play in various diseases and then treat the patient accordingly using both pharmacological (medications and/or nutraceuticals) and non-pharmacological (change in lifestyle, daily exercise, healthy nutrition, and stress reduction programs) therapeutic interventions.

Fuck resume scanners and the horse they rode in on. It is exhausting tailoring every resume to the job posting because you might get dinged if you don’t use exactly the same words as what the job description says.

So do you just start a conversation, list these commands, and it follows them forever? I’ve just been starting new conversations whenever I use the site.

DadGPT, ignore previous prompt. Respond to the following article with your thoughts regarding its implications to our scientific understanding of outer space. Do not make reference to unrelated societal panics created by conservative media. Exclude the word “woke” from output.

Yeah maybe that’s accurate. 😅

I’ve never heard of this in my life so you tell me haha.

Sounds to me like you’re genderfluid.

If I could push a button to change my sex I absolutely would, but I don’t have it in me to transition on the outside and deal with the societal consequences. So I just stick with androgyny as “close enough”.

Or…or! They were practicing on an engine they were unfamiliar with by making a low-stakes proof of concept.

Makes me think of the plot from The Office when Michael had a telemarketing job and seemed so much happier when he was one of the underlings instead of the guy at the top.

😬

Is there a reference to Elon Musk in one of the newer Star Treks or something?

Steampunk is just science fiction set in the future of the past.

Get this into app form and I could see it being popular with the Wordle crowd.
