My college application submission was about this topic, about the storage of energy, not the making of it. Good to see 25 years later we're actually working on it.

Way to go! :D

Plus then if you roll a 2 and get information, you know it's wrong if I give data as a DM but maybe it's just common knowledge. Like vodka is in fact, alcohol.

I once bought a groupon to a Persian restaurant that was very clearly a front for mobsters. The dining room doubled as a dance floor, complete with a disco ball and gold accents. My date and I were the ONLY people eating there while the staff watched us eat.

It was MUCH less gaudy than this.

The insurance companies backing him won't like that, probably.
His thought process is difficult to follow.

Because sure, maybe the lock is rusted, or the guard is scratching his eyes and doesn't notice you sneaking past.
Let's a 2 and a 19 not be a lock.

This is why as a DM I do a lot of the rolls when it's for information OR I roll everything else as a check against what they rolled.

Then they FEEL like they might have done a bad job, but then don't know if the thing they're rolling against might have done a worse job.

Victor Orban is a dictator.

Do you think MAYBE that's why a lot of people don't ally themselves with him, you know, because of the dictator part?

Also, jealous they can't just black bag people at will?

Is he so dumb that he thinks the Lincoln Bedroom has to be in the style of the 1860s, yet his 100% marble madness mess is in keeping with the 1860s?

It can't be more complicated than a go-pro.

Turn it on and then like ... leave it alone?

Dang right. Thank you for this.

The U.S. sure gets a lot of its gasoline and hardwood for construction from Canada. So yeah Donald, cut off our trade, what a -great- plan.

This is the most "OK Boomer" thing I've ever seen.

And I've seen the pilot for Mr. Birchum.

How efficient, thank you.

It's really suspicious that Speaker Mike Johnson (republican) doesn't want the one signature of Adelita Grijalva (democrat) added to a piece of legislation that woul finally force a vote to release to Epstein Files about a global child sex trafficking ring.

Sus for sure, Mike.

The Vikings were more like ...

-It's mostly just trees, we have trees in Norway.
-Sailing across the North Atlantic for trees is silly.
-Fighting with the natives, why? We're Vikings, it's much easier to raid a church for relics.
-The Byzantine Emperor will just hire us to guard him. Cash money!

Darn right.

I'm making a short film for my classes about how terrible Columbus was and how his life impacted everyone and the weird reason he, of all people, got a "day"

Wasn't Airforce One a junky old terrible out of date plane, according to Donald, thus why Trump needed his 400 million dollar plane bribe from Qatar?

If the rest of the U.S. doesn't want affordable health care, or doesn't care to make it a priority, OK, let's have it here in California.

So his plan is he wants to cut off federal taxes, the thing that blue America pays for, and cut off support to red America?
This will punish Americans, but mostly the red areas who need federal taxes and help.

So they don't want our money and help?

I remember when Trump disbanded Obama's pandemic response team to save money, and then we had Covid. Feels about right.
