Clearly, you're the intended demographic. They've got your number.

It's not just the fossil fuel industry. Utilities are ambivalent about solar, actively fighting against rooftop solar and dragging their feet on interconnections. Some are also grumpy about the intermittency of renewables.

This is mortifying. I cannot even begin to imagine how a future historian would attempt to convince their audience that such a thing would happen or that some people would be okay with it.

I naturally had to read an interview on the meaning of the song. Rose Betts was afraid that the song would be too much fluff so she added the line "One for the light that I let him dim" which apparently refers to some event (unspecified) that was no joke. 😐

Older cousin did a one-person #DnD session with me. Mind-blowing. I feel like the #TTRPG epiphany that 'you can do anything' is, in terms of a young person's timeline, one of the biggest wow's between discovering chocolate and sex. Cousin probably wished I'd shut about it.

Oh god, I hope none of my players go there. They're now high school freshmen. I still remember those days of innocence, when one would say something and I'd be like, "Wow, now if an adult said that..." and I'd look around to see anyone else got the double entendre and they hadn't.

Omgosh! Those bags are awesome. My childhood chess pieces are still in one. After using it for a couple of years, I found out that my dad was scandalized by that bag (even though it took my mom years to finish a bottle: pouring it put her to sleep).

Yeah, after I wrote that skeet, I realized, like a pool player calling a shot, I might've just been specifying how I'll burn a hole in my pocket. 😀

Gaming purchases tend to make up a good chunk of my impulse buying, so sticker shock would cause a lot of rethinking. A Kickstarter update already warned me that there might be a surcharge to cover a tariff if one is in place.

Funny that you posted this when you did as that very morning I was thinking of an alternative for when we couldn't get a critical mass of high schoolers for D&D. (Their Axis and Allies game lasted six hours the day before.) Just got home from B&N.

I've noticed that my group, which began when the players were middle schoolers was very quick to believe NPCs. I've been trying to get better at building skepticism by working in outrageously false things into NPC statements.
