It’s also cordless, but I’m really just happy I don’t have a I deal with crods.

Edit: Looks like SDF is still having image upload issues. I'll try again tomorrow.

Aparrently Jesus took the wheel and I didn’t even realize it.

I have a complex multi household poly family with kids, so the “spousal” acceptance factor is a high bar to clear. I would like to start de googling, but I know that there is no way I’m going to convince everyone to do it all at once.

The biggest sticking point is gCal. We all have shared calendars with varying levels of privacy settings for the adults, and a shared kids calendar for doctors appointments, school events, etc. I know, we are every stereotype about poly people and google calendar.

Is there a thing that will let me move to another calendar system, that will still let me share my calendar with specific google using people, view and edit the shared kids calendar, and handle event invites, etc from everyone else? Assuming that only I move to it at first.

Don’t worry, trim for that awful gap is on the list.

This dresser got moved to the guest room, so we will use it to hold bed linens. My partner made labels for it so we don’t grab the wrong sizes.

Between Christmas, the last of the unpacking, and a couple of IKEA trips, cardboard was really building up and the partner was getting displeased. I spent my NYE getting it all ready for the recycling truck and sweeping up the rest of the mess.

I started unpacking my tools into my new workshop and finally got some decent bins for small parts and made labels for them. I also found my bigger level and hung it on some hooks I found. It looks like it works.

Now you know I’m on the level.

I hung the furring strips on the wall for my new pegboard while my 5yo helped by painting part of the workbench frame.

Edit: The current order is that I need to hang the board and finish the workbench. Then I can put away all my tools, and empty part of the storage unit. After that I’m going to build a massive bookcase with sliding ladder and then we can completely empty the storage unit.

And then there is the window bench/bookshelf for the 5yo, built in desk for the tween, building my closet and finishing the trim for the so’s, building a Murphy desk for the guest room, adding a sink to the laundry room, and finishing out the closet under the stairs.

I have a World's Greatest Screen and I'm looking for some artwork for the front. I could use the cover from the PF2 or SF screens that I bought, but while that art is fantastic, it is too detailed to print well on a home laser printer.

Whats your favorite art or sources for Pathfinder/Starfinder that is simple enough to print nicely?

I’m having some issues with plantar fasciitis so I picked up inserts for all the shoes I wear regularly, including my house slippers. Seems to be helping already.

The rules for encounter building and XP rewards in PF2E are great. If your party is all about the same level and you know how difficult of an encounter you want to throw at them it's really easy to build that encounter. As in so many things, the core Pathfinder math Just Works.

But what is hidden behind it? What if, due to player shenanigans, the encounter ends up being very different than you planned or there is a completely unplanned combat? Or you're just curious about how the encounter math works behind the scenes?

Well, here's how it works: Creatures of level 1 and above are worth 160 XP/level. So, a level 2 creature is worth 320 XP and a level 10 is worth 1600 XP. Creatures of level -2, -1 and 0 are worth 40, 80 and 120XP respectively.

To get the per character XP reward for defeating the encounter, total the XP for the creatures in the encounter and divide by the total PC levels at the table.

For example: an encounter of one level 2 and two level 1s is worth 640XP. If faced by a four person party each of level two, thats 640/(4 * 2) = 80XP per character. Or that same 640XP encounter by a party of two level 2 and one level 1? 640/(2+2+1) = 128XP per character.

Granted, this can get silly if the creature levels are way out of whack, which is why in the encounter building rules they don't have table for creatures more than +-3 levels away from the PCs. But just in case you have an odd party or an odd encounter, the math is pretty easy.

I have an XBox Wireless Controller, model #1914, and am running Ubuntu 24.04. I can get the controller to connect over bluetooth but it doesn't show up as a joystick in jstest, evtest or steam. It doesn't show up at all as a usb device in lsusb when plugged in. I've tired installing xpadneo but that didn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?

I don't mean that literally, of course, but metaphorically. Back when Prozac first hit national consciousness here in the US in the early 90s there was a huge backlash against it, much like the one we're seeing against the GLP/GIPs.

Every magazine had a special issue with a bottle of pills lit by scary, dramatic lighting for a cover. There was a constant discourse of hysteria and pearl clutching like: "you'll have to be on it forever!", "it doesn't really fix anything!", "it's so expensive!", "what if they give it to children?!?", "oh no the side effects!". Every self appointed expert had a reason you shouldn't take it: "you don't need it, you just need God", "you just need to get tough", "it's a cop out for the weak", etc, etc. Even many therapists and psychiatrists spoke against it, often more afraid for their jobs than anything else, "what if we fix everything with a pill, what does that mean for psychiatry?"

And now, 30 years later we have a much better understanding of anti-depressants. They are a common prescription and much of society accepts them the same way we accept people being on statins, insulin or ibuprofen. They didn't destroy psychiatry, make everyone become mindless drones or create a bunch of psychopaths. And they became a whole lot more affordable.

On the other hand, Prozac itself would be an odd prescription today as there are much better, more targeted medications with fewer side effects.

I strongly believe the same thing will happen with semaglutide and tirzepatide, but probably much faster due to the much larger number of potential patients. In ten years the new family of weight loss drugs will be commonly used and accepted by society, but they probably won't be semaglutide or tirzepatide but rather some new, more targeted meds that are cheap and have far fewer side effects.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to wait a decade to lose this weight.

Do you want your glue traditional or bacon flavored?

40s M, 5'11, SW 255, GW 200?

I've been overwieght almost my entire life. One summer in elementary school my weight shot way up and it's been high ever since. I've been on every diet, have always done sports, hit the gym regularly, and am generally active, but I've never been able to keep it off long, or even make it down to a "normal" BMI, generally floating somewhere between overweight and obese. Over the last two years, my weight has started climbing at a pound or two a month and I haven't been able to stop it.

I took my first dose of semaglutide tonight, after trying to get a hold of it for the last six months. My insurance denied me said I had to join Weight Watchers for six months. Then, two months ago I was laid off. But, a couple of my friends have had success with one of the compounding pharms, so I though I'd give them a try. My partner also did the same thing, and took their first dose last week. Here's hoping that this is the change I've needed!
