The opposite would probably be worse, honestly.

Question. I’ve never DM’d obviously, but outside of combat I assumed the success threshold was something the DM made up on the spot based on how hard the task/situation should be and does not explicitly communicate that to the players. Is that what happens?

I would rather know my roll so I can imagine for myself how much of my character’s capability went into the attempt. Failing a check after rolling a 2 vs rolling a 19 affects how I play from then on, similar to how I think it would affect my character psychologically. If you try to climb a wall and fail without knowing the roll, would you try again? I hope that made sense.

No disagreement here, just want to make sure we get the nuance into the conversation where appropriate.

To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it’s all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that’s easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening.

One of the features of using your own soap! Dilute more if your hands are getting too dry – I like 1:5 dilution for my foaming hand soap pumps, that’s been working well for me. This will change depending on how long you wash your hands for; I use a whole 10-15s even at home so I reduced the concentration. I’m not sure what the “minimum” concentration is for it to be effective, but I just tweaked it so my hands don’t feel oily. If you need it to be highly dilute for sensitive skin, you could consider keeping a very light solution for frequent washing and a separate stronger concentration for more dirty hands.

I started using (diluted) castile for everything including handwashing, I’ve been liking it.

I get it, truly, but we’ve been dejecting heat to the ocean for a good while. Ocean water cools marine engines and equipment, and heck we use rivers to cool lots of things – even reactors, which ends up back in the ocean. Data center cooling might be one of the more responsible uses because it’s (hopefully) not leeching petroleum or radioactive byproducts into the water.

I’m actually a little more upset now than when I started this comment.

My favorite thing about this is the explainxkcd page keeps it going by also spelling out all punctuation

Your writing is very similar to LLM output! Feel free to disagree and report that as an uncivil, dehumanizing remark, but the intent wasn’t to insult. I think it’s fascinating.

I understand performance as a whole was addressed in your writeup, however I still hold the opinion that the spirit of those recent negative comments is misrepresented.

Thanks!
