I personally fall in a middle-ground: unless it’s a super-powerful spell, it’s just assumed you have the supply of components. Don’t keep track of arrows unless they’re special. You always have water and some crappy rations (yay prestidigitation as a cantrip!) or ink and a quill for your spellbook, but you’re not…

But I mean, it took me 2 sessions of 3.5 as a sorcerer to sit down and build a PF fighter in 20 minutes as everyone chatted and the GM recapped. And hell, I sat down with a pre-made wizard in 5e and I needed 0 introduction to mechanics. Obviously, I’m familiar with core DnD mechanics at that point, but still...I get…

Yeah, I actually learned today that the CG patrols the river. I should clarify that while I actually live just a few miles from the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri, neither are recreational boating rivers, and I’ve never actually been out on Lake Ozark, so my experience in life where I might SEE a CG vessel…

eh, screw the whole thing.

Lots of...non-american restaurants do that. They know that it’s easier to put the “tame” options out there for 95% of customers. When we order chinese, the menu items we get have a SPICY warning on the menu...we ask them to make them hotter, and it’s still not up to a level I would consider spicy at all. Just because…

Is that orange black and blue thing like, a Coast Guard color scheme? I ask because I live in St. Louis, which is about as far away as possible from a coast in the US.

Reminds me of a recent comic called Chrononauts. We start finding jets and sports cars and tanks buried away in pyramids and tombs and whatnot...long story short, we invent time travel suits that can transport anything in contact and one of the guys leads lives throughout history and hides away technology and weaponry…

I mean, it is a very specific kind of comedy. Not necessarily a comedy where you’re laughing out loud, but a comedy where you’re smiling and chuckling as it gets more absurd throughout. It’s very absurdist, anti-comedy comedy. It’s definitely not for most people.

Lots of HOAs have restrictions on boats/trailers/RVs/non-functional cars in driveways. Hell, some have restrictions as severe as “your car must be parked in your garage and the driveway is for guest parking and you better not invite more people over than can fit in your driveway because you sure as hell can’t park on…

My city has an ordinance against boats being stored. But trailers and RVs are fine - though in my Grandma’s neighboorhood about 2 miles away (which is weird on its own because their mailing address is my city, but her city services are provided by a neighboring city) the HOA only allows cars in the driveway, and they…

Yeah, in my area we had like a summer day camp for young cub scouts before we got old enough to go to actual camp, and on the last day they’d bring a ladder truck and set it up in a field and make it literally rain and we’d play around in the mud and whatnot.

A Sharpie fixes the stripes. And I feel that they’ll do a “special edition” or something with the stitching sooner or later. Nike’s not dumb, they know how to sell the same pair of shoes in as many designs as possible.

Well, you can do the lines with a Sharpie - in middle school we used to draw patterns on the rubber. The lack of stitching sucks, but I have a feeling that will show back up sooner or later.

From what I understand, both “models” will still be available in high and low tops. I could be completely wrong.

My aunt works at Build a Bear HQ and they actually have a room for kids. Books and toys and markers and a TV and whatnot. They also let you bring your dog to work so they’re not exactly the standard office.

Superman doesn’t shave! He uses a mirror and his heat-laser vision to burn off his facial hair. Duh.

I’ve gotten in through my passenger door before when it snowed a buttload and I didn’t feel like shoveling that side of the driveway (my driveway runs parallel to the house so if you pull in front-wise the driver’s side is away from the house).

Hence why New Horizons is so impressive - we didn’t have a firm knowledge of exactly where Pluto or its moons were when we launched it off a decade ago.

Someone didn’t read!

They were gifted to the SFPD by the salesforce.com CEO.

We were looking to start a game. It took 3 3+ hour sessions for us to build characters, and the one guy that knows the rules ended up just MAKING a list of equipment for me. We haven’t played.
