Hell, R was being used in colleges in 2000. Unfortunately, whether it was SPSS for the soft sciences or forcing stats work in Matlab for the engineers, professors always seemed bad at promoting the right tool for the job.

Dirt is an aggregate material that contains plenty of feces. If I were your GM I’d allow it.

You just described the vibe of Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”…

I’m hoping this is partly a Porno for Pyros reference.

Oh man, I love Noita so much, but it can be so difficult at times.

Yup. No matter how hard the PC tries, just pan over to the fireplace and fade to black: https://youtu.be/v7eJEsf11WM (had to include the obligatory Top Secret! clip)

I think it depends on the table (and possibly the game). I’m playing in a game where the bad guys usually have their own timetables for doing things. If we as players get sidetracked, there’s the expectation that the bbeg continues with their plan unopposed. It’s also within reason that if the players are known to the bbeg, they will do things to keep us occupied / distract us.

With that said, if this is not what the table expects, then everyone needs to sit down and talk it over.

Flounders are born symmetrical; eye migration happens as they transition to the juvenile stage of growth.

That looks to be some type of velvet worm.

I’m so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.

The fourth ending is just a red herring.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a KQ5 reference. Well done.

The Eye of Sauron the Terrible few could endure.

We don’t have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.

There’s also a few other spots not claimed by any country, like Bir Tawil between Egypt and Sudan.

The government will get the FAA involved at that point.

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I’d rather pay by check

I’m curious when and where “singular they” was taught as incorrect. Coming from the Midwest in the 80s (not exactly a liberal or forward thinking place), I was taught in no uncertain terms that singular they was appropriate in many circumstances. And my teacher was old as hell, so her education on the matter probably dated to around WW2.

Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling “fresh” meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?

We live in very different places. (Not sarcasm, this has happened to me about a dozen times)
