No love for acid rain?

Remarkably self aware

We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

lol

I find that my players take a lot of cues from the scenario. If there’s an obvious way for them to get involved, and a clear benefit to the character, they jump in. If not, they treat it as part of the world and continue about their business. But they are relatively passive, story-wise and expect a bit of railroading to tell them where to go.

Alien: Acceptable Los[s]es

I would like to see this movie.

I did this for my Waterdeep: Dragonheist campaign. The paper was yellow journalism through and through: they misspelled PC names, misattributed actions, and obviously supported one of the factions. It was a lot of fun. I fully recommend it.

Finally, someone to blame!

Foreign forces were also stationed around the city during the war. Some UK military sources maintained to the BBC that the stories were an urban myth. But in 2007, a US military veteran testified that there were ‘tourist shooters’ in and around the city.

Used for what?

Or are you hatty to see me?

There was a second sandwich. Thrown from the grassy knoll. A second sandwich!

I think the article is saying that you can use a specialized API for client side rendering, rather than createElement() - which doesn’t seem all that different tbh.

As someone who read the post: there’s no actual reporting or substantiating, just a few quoted tweets.

I held my parents hands when we were in crowded places. Until I accidentally grabbed some random woman’s hand and felt really awkward. I probably stopped around age 7.

I love holding my kids hands. They’re big enough that I don’t think I’ll get to hold my elder son’s hand again, and I might get to hold my little guy’s hand a few more times. Here’s hoping.

I have to roll in the open, otherwise I’m tempted to lie about the rolls to benefit the players. I don’t want to, it just happens.

You can never have enough doves

It’s a preview, so that doesn’t seem too surprising. Like the post says, you can switch back to the regular client pretty easily.

We’re not monolithic. No generation is. Those movies were kinda popular, but they found their success with a subset of the generation, not the entire group.

Just like every other generation, when we’re relatively comfortable (or exhausted from daily survival), we don’t have time to foment revolution.

A musk concentrator as some call it

I’ve been underwhelmed by Carney’s response to the housing crisis. Promising to build 4,000 homes next year doesn’t seem proportional to the spending or scale of the problem. If they’d said “4k in 2026, and 40k in 2027” or some other significant ramp up, I think that probably would have made me feel a bit better.

Maybe stamets is in the same boat?
