Basically if you need the same logic in two places instead of copying it to the second place you make it into a function and use that function in both places.
That way if you need that logic to change you only need to make that edit once regardless of whether you use it one time or one thousand times.
Tuesday our group met. First we played some weird memory game about being an orchestra conductor which was really bad. Then we tried the 5th mission in Port Royal Big Box… twice… in vain. We ended the evening early because:
On Wednesday we met again to play DnD. My character had an emotional reunion with a lost family member and we encountered our first gelatinous monster.
On Friday there was a public game night in town which I attended. The group I landed with first played two rounds of Frantic - a domestic UNO alternative but for some of them it was too chaotic so we cut the game short. We then played Ricochet Robots and the ladies at the table completely trunced me out of the gate. But after about 4 rounds I got up to speed and managed to race ahead after all. From this we moved on to X-Code where we managed to win the 4 basic missions and the first mission of the blue box. At this point we believed that the evening would wind down soon so we snuck in a quick game of Shark Attacks - where I finally did not come in in last place! Only to then learn that the game night would go on a bit longer this time. So picked up Las Vegas as well. I hadn’t played so many different games in one setting in ages and really enjoyed it. The evening also served as a nice way to cap off the organizer’s 5 year run in hosting these game nights.
Glad to see Terraforming Mars getting some love…
For his post is dark and full of errors.
Uhm. GoT isn’t exactly the first to use this expression…
Remove? No. Overcome? We’re already doing it.
Our society is far more accomodating than it has ever been. Different sexes, ethnicities, skin colors, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities and whatnot enjoy more acceptance and equality now than ever before. Something like the EU - a voluntary alliance of this size - would have been unthinkable probably just 100-200 years ago. And for all its flaws the participating nations have grown closer through it.
We still got ways to go particularly internationally and we must be ever vigilat against those that want to drag us backward but the progress is undeniable.
It’s Europe, not a fairy tale. We do in fact renovate and change our streets occasionally. A clear indicator are the fancy cut grey slabs and the metal disc. I can guarantee you those are not there since the time of horse and carriage. Also the red bricks would be waaay more worn down by now if they were that old.
There are multiple additional parking spaced behind the car. Replacing one spot with bike parking still allows both modes to visit the shop but provides an increased number of visitor spaces.
It’s not an old video game. They’re not immovable parts of the level design. You can likely move or bump them out of the way enough to pass through.
Meanwhile right next to them is a huge metal box that stole 4 times as much sidewalk, transported half as many people and is literally un-moveable if you’re not in a heavy motorized vehicle.
When I learned to drive there was a pretty big emphasis put on paying attention to cyclists in round abouts. Nowadays the official rule for how a bicycle should go through a round about is: in the middle of the road. Even as a car driver I love the boldness of this approach.
I find this post hilarious in a really sad and aggravating way.
Everyone complains how the bikes block the path for pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs. But pictured on this very same image is how the entire sidewalk is narrowed to make room for cars. That one car takes up twice as much space as those two bikes and likely transported half an many people. And if you’re on foot, in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller you can push the bicycles out of the way. You can’t push the car out of your way.
Gee I wonder why people are against folks like you.
Your description sounds so nice and fair - allowing everyone to take full control of their wealth.
So let me ask you: when was the last time you successfully negotiated the price of your groceries or utilities?
You don’t. Because that “fairness” only exists between entities of equal power.
Nah. When you look at the groups that employ body/dash cams (Police, Russian drivers, …) what they have in common is that they are involved in activities that have a high likelyhood to get you involved in altercations and it can be really important to have the incident on camera from the first second on. This simply doesn’t hold true for most people - not to a degree that warrants attaching a permanent surveillance device to your body when you already have an easily accessible on demand camera with you.
Capitalism is an amazing engine to produce wealth. But it’s also extremely opposed to the idea of distributing it.

Sehr gut dekonstruiert!
Das hier. Langes Haar bekommt weniger Sonnenbrand als ein 3mm Schnitt. Wieso sollte beim Rasen etwas anderes gelten…
Wow. I didn’t know it was this easy to get an article made about you. A card and nine paperclips!
I definitely gonna have to post my spell book when I get home…
First iteration I simply took some small post-it’s wrote the spell slot level on it and attached them to whatever spell I used them on. This worked fine for a bunch of sessions. If the glue would lose its tack I could simply write another sticky.
Second iteration I made myself a fancy A5 sized spell book in NanDeck, slots were still tracked by post its but I fashioned little bookmark tabs that were affixed to the pages so I could pull them out to indicate the spell was prepared and push it in to for those that were not. This again worked pretty well. The tabs would get partially pushed in when the book rattled around in the storage box but it was generally not all the way. Biggest gripe was that I didn’t actually need to know which spell had which slots used on it. The post it’s were overkill in that regard.
Current iteration now has a front page with paper sliders for the number of spell slots I have. It’s prepared all the way to max level. All I’ve got to do is use scissors or an exacto knife to extend the sliders to their proper length. The preparedness of spells is also indicated by paper sliders on the respective page. I originally used bookmarks so I didn’t have to browse the whole book but I found myself doing that anyway so they didn’t serve much of a purpose. On the contrary I find it quite thematic that my cleric would rummage through his spell book to find the correct incantation for the situation.
Both second and first version had their spine punched in regular spaces with an office hole puncher and then bound with string in my player color. When I get more spells I simply have to print the additional pages and can rebind the book.
You definitely should turn her on before you start stirring…
