No spell explicitly says it, but I kinda feel like Regeneration might resolve that concern. It’s the go-to in the DMG for missing eyes and limbs. General high level healing (6+) will resolve scars, which one can argue that they should also resolve born stuff like epilepsy and the like since those are (kinda) lasting injuries akin to scars. Beyond that a case can definitely be made for Resurrection and it’s ability to restore missing body parts. Feel like bringing someone back to life is a big step beyond just curing their paraplegia. Heck, there’s an argument for Greater Restoration as well considering it resolves anything that lowers max HP or ability scores. Ultimately those are up to DM ruling but I doubt most would say no.
Then of course there’s just straight up Wish but that’s a whole nother thing.
I was more talking about how if you don’t tip well enough your food may take a long while before anyone bothers accepting the trip and getting it to you, but that’s also true.
Stepdad is a pain in the ass to shop for and last year the wire cheese cutter didn’t do so hot on meat so this year is a guillotine cutter and a big summer sausage box.
Brother is getting a sports team hoodie.
Nephew is starting reading and a huge pokemon fan so hes getting the most recent Ninja Turtles game on Switch (previously hed get Kirby games. Coop means dad can help.) and Pokemon chapter books. Probably a trip to the bookstore as well a bit later.
Niece is teenaged, getting her a book as well since I encourage them to read, along with a nice blanket robe.
Grandpa is a vet and so this year we got a framed print of the ship he served on.
Uncle is a D&D nerd so hes getting a D&D book he wants.
Other folks will prob get candies, alcohol, and the like, as the situation and kinship merits.
I got a system in place. Been giving niece age appropriate books for years along with other gifts. I also take her to the bookstore after Xmas to let her pick whatever.
Nephew is a new reader and a pokemon fiend so I’m pretty sure if a Pikachu is on the cover he’ll give it a go.
My backlog is still triple digit (Though it has gone down noticeably over the year.) so I only really buy on the summer and winter sales unless something really catches my fancy.
Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...
Nope, but I’ve found a nice mac and cheese sandwich to be a small mac and cheese put on a chicken sandwich at KFC/Chik-Fil-A/Popeyes/Your preferred chicken hut. Add a BBQ sauce and it’s great. Super messy though.
Oh man, getting into a workplace and finding out folks are just as gossipy or petty about inconsequential bullshit as high schoolers are (Like that one tweet about a manager being upset that the CC’s on a e-mail weren’t in seniority order.) was an eye opener for sure.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
I feel like the average asshole would steal, probably trespass in Area 51, or the White House or whatever. In the former case if you steal from a big enough place its effectively a victimless crime. In the latter, you’re just not supposed to be there, so even less in the way of real victims.
Murder though? Thats when stuff gets real. I feel like no matter your stance everyone has a person or people they’d have to think long and hard about not taking out of the equation, whether for personal reasons or to make the world an overall better place in their opinion. Doubt most would even consequence free but some (not so) subtle influence here and there would likely happen.
Also if you’re a comic guy, give Irredeemable a go. It’s the same vein of plot as The Boys and Invincible.
Knife stabbed into your least favorite government official’s pillow with a note on it that says “RETIRE” would probably be a rather effective deterrent to most, and if the first one doesn’t get the message across the second one after all the cops are watching every nook and cranny definitely will. Or just leave pineapples laying around for them, if you want to do things the funnier way.
Been to Chik-Fil-A before, they arent even that great, or at least not especially compelling compared to kfc or popeyes. maybe im missing something though idk.
Deffo not so good I’d wait in a line longer then about four cars for them, and in my neck of the woods they have not caught on to that extent. Three of them by me and the lines are fairly minimal at each. So either amazing staff or folks dgaf about them. I’m leaning towards latter personally.
That must be the case because we had a Cracker Barrel around here too and it failed pretty hard. Chik-Fil-A is surviving somehow though so I guess enough of their base is around for that at least.
Somewhere around 150 myself but once I get all the achievements on my current one (Its part of a set I’ve done so on.) I should be able to go through more at a good keel.
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
Most of the things you want to do with invisibility you can do with teleportation, but likely better. The only exception being hiding in the lockerroom of your preferred gender but bruh, c’mon this isn’t a 80’s movie. Also maybe faking a haunting since the invisibility lets you make stuff “float”.
Wanna be rich or just have loot? Teleport somewhere you know has it. Grab and go.
Wanna kill somebody? Teleport to their bedroom while they sleep and shoot them. Or for the less messy alternative, teleport in, grab them, teleport a hundred feet above Point Nemo, drop 'em, and dip.
Wanna live a life unbothered by anyone? Teleport to the middle of nowhere and slowly bring in supplies. Pop out and back in whenever you feel like it.
Future would be rough with a near complete lack of knowing current cultural norms, lingo, history, and knowing how the three seashells work. Top that off with all the stuff developed in just the past 100 years vs. the amount of progress we could be making in 5 times that length of time, and I feel like the future would be a lot rougher then the past.
In the past you could excuse a minor faux pas by saying you didn’t get off the farm much and maybe folks would just think you were a bit slow. Not being socialized in the present or future? Bit less reasonable.
how is the guy on the phone supposed to know it really is the police on the other side and not just some guy trying to scam his way into a freebie?
Cop only number or internal group to transfer to? Fax number to send a warrant with contact info so VW can call back and investigate if need be? Get the police department number, google to confirm they’re legit, and call back? Thats just off the top of my head.
If VW doesn’t have an option like that its poor design. If the guy didn’t know, poor training. One or both are gonna be resolved now that the spotlight is on them.
It can look okay but its a very small group of people who look good with it and a small group of doctors that do it well. They do not consistently pair up.
Same with buccal fat (cheek fat basically) removal. For most they just look hollowed out, like they did meth for a while. Erin Moriarty (Annie/Starlight on The Boys) is rumored to have had it, and it shows.
Shocking literally no one, the game store that took a shot at the king with store that (initially) didn’t have baseline stuff like reviews and a cart, and tried to get by on giving away product and paying a bunch of money to make stuff exclusive isn’t doing so hot financially.

Redditalternatives has two types of folks who visit it, the smaller one thinks reddit is shit because of the choices the employees make. The larger one thinks reddit is shit because spooky woke moralist SJW shills paid by George Soros are censoring free speech via coordinated downvote, report, and ban campaigns… Sometimes a person occupies both groups.
The former group likes Lemmy et. al. The latter gets on here, sees a pro union post top of all, shits themselves dehydrated, and leaves to write screeds like that one.
I am at an accepting stage that not everything that happens in your life is in your control. When things goes really bad and you dont have much control on it, I would assume a person who believes in god or religious figures has their belief system as a coping mechanism. For example praying to the god and so on....
You need to remember that Hollywood is risk averse. They are not making things to make art but to make profit. Thats why there’s like ten Fast and the Furious movies. Because they print money because car go fast boom explosion family.
When that realization hits home it makes perfect sense why we see remakes and adaptations and sequels. They already have a fanbase who will go see it.
Reminds me of a blog I followed about a guy having a castle built. He’d get contractors out for various bits and before they arrived they’d be like “oh its X for job Y” but when they got there and saw that it was for a castle, well magically the cost doubled. This might make sense in some parts but when the painter is trying to increase his price for square footage he quoted on the phone? Nah fam that ain’t it.
Still surprised Kingdom Hearts hasn’t made the leap over yet. Maybe Square is looking at piss poor Epic sales and thinking theres no market or something
