Want to add hilarity while using VTTs like Owlbear Rodeo? Whenever you have a group of non-named NPCs, such as ambushing bandits, assign each one a visible number by rolling a d100. PCs react to bandits 1 to 8 more confidently than they do bandits 11, 18, 27, 34, 35, 47, 60, and 98.

The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

It is a little known fact that while observing the moon Titan, the Cassini space probe could monitor another one of Saturn's moons at the same time by using a reflective surface called a Rhea view mirror.

Before Salk created his polio vaccine, we knew of no confirmed exoplanets. Now, almost everyone is vaccinated and we know of almost 6000 exoplanets. Do vaccines cause exoplanets?

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

She has NO family, friends, classmates, teachers, coaches, etc. She needs shelter &… everything.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
