Except, you know, for everyone that has an iRobot device that is going to lose connectivity soon.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to support anything from iRobot. I’m hoping that there will be a jailbreak made available before they go bankrupt, but I doubt it.

I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

Welp, now I have plans to my next Sunday dinner.

There are many exercises to help train your reactions during actual emergencies that don’t involve firing live ammunition at real people. Im more familiar with martial arts than firearms, but sparring works.

Two thumbs up for The Dark Mod, which started as expansion of the best stealth games of all time.

I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

Flat out wrong. Per page 400 and 401 of the Player Core, “All types of checks, from skill checks to attack rolls to saving throws, follow these basic steps.“ … “You critically succeed when the check’s result meets or exceeds the DC by 10 or more.” Furthermore, individual skill actions specifically list a crit effect, such as with Recall Knowledge which grants you additional information or a follow up question.

Photographic proof from the rulebook attached.

I don’t see any indication that it is any specific system being referenced, so I chose the better one.

Nat 20 adds one to the degree of success, which almost always means a crit unless you are dealing with something way above your level.

My cat would disagree. She was very upset when I replaced her favorite warm perch with a flat screen.

Why not both?

Go on…

Wait, people can’t visualize the amount of electricity used for something? Oh, right, not everyone is an electrical engineer.

Instructions unclear, goto considered harmful.

While this feels like bait, I’m going to take it. Yes, there is a huge benefit to learning and using a terminal if you use a computer as a tool for creating and working instead of passively consuming entertainment. Organizing and searching files of any sort, building applications, writing without distraction, working with remote devices, and just generally using your computer as a tool instead of a fancy TV are all made easier, faster and more efficient if you can use a terminal. The unix philosophy gives you the ability to do things by stringing together a few commands that you might have to find a specialized program for, if it even exists in GUI land.

That’s not to say the GUI’s aren’t great for a lot of things. They are! But they also lock you into doing things in a few predetermined ways rather than letting you develop the skills and techniques for exploring new spaces.

Fucking steam web helper. I’ll have locked my desktop machine and switched my KVM to my work laptop when suddenly the fans spin up. I switch back over and it’s multiple steam processes each using a full core. WTF?!? I’m looking up how to have the lock screen also ‘kill all -9 steam’ to keep it from happening.

Any used Thinkpad will work well for you, just search eBay with your price cap and screen size.

If I lived in Florida shudder or really anywhere with programs like this, I’d be damn tempted to start a pagan school. “Today kids, to finish our ecology section we will be planting a ring of oak trees, and then chanting for their blessing. Health class will have a discussion of the latest research on the impacts of meditation, art will be painting a set of symbols from your tradition. Math will be the next section on trigonometry.”
