I think this is a totally fine method tbh.

As long as the DM isn’t also fudging rolls.

I thought the kite guy was chained to the wall at first, and was quite confused.

It’s a good thing I’m dexterous, and somehow dodged the fireball from within the fireball.

I always thought it was BS in movies when they pick a door lock in a few seconds, but nope! That’s completely realistic. The rake was even faster than my key on some attempts.

You broke your oath with the last sentence.

I have a dozen different hobbies, but I was really into flashlights for a while too. I was into them enough that my wife asked me to stop buying more flashlights and lanterns. I didn’t stop though! I only stopped when I finally decided I had scratched that itch, have obtained what I want, and was bored. But now I have great flashlights in both of our cars, in my mom’s car, one at each exterior door of the house, one at the garage door, and a few lanterns in the closet. She very much appreciates the fruits of my labors now that I’m finished.

Most apartments use Kwikset locks, which are cheap and ineffective. Picking one of those was easier than picking the practice lock from my kit. I could get my front door open in 30 seconds flat with a single pin pick, or like 2 seconds with a city rake.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

That’s too bad. Apparently their holo lens was really good. But pricing it at $4000 meant most people weren’t interested.

Sex too.

Edit: so I guess two things

If you’re a senior engineer, then you should have a team of juniors doing most of the coding. Your job is to architect, peer review, meet with stakeholders, etc… At least that has been my experience. Unless you are on one of those small teams with all senior engineers and then you have to do all of the above, and the coding too. I’ve had that experience as well.

The point is that you’re not tortured for eternity. That idea didn’t become popular until Southern Baptist started traveling the states with their fire and brimstone sermons. You are killed, obliterated, dead, for eternity. Game over.

That’s the point I was trying to make. It’s a mistranslation, or even worse, an intentional change. Even with the word there, there’s enough context to make it clear that the punishment for denying christ is death, not eternal life. “Hell” is eternal, in the sense that you’re dead forever. Those who are not written in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. That’s what it says. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to change the definition of the word death to mean eternal life and torture, where it takes none to acknowledge that you die.

Chevy is still all about knobs, which is the proper way to create car controls. Ford is pretty heavy into a full touch screen control center, which is really annoying as a driver.

You know what’s unsafe? Putting a long-ass disclosure about keeping your eyes on the road that you have to close before you can use your infotainment center. We know how to drive, dude. Adding a distraction doesn’t improve safety, it makes it worse.

You are absolutely correct. The original Hebrew word in the Bible for hell is Sheol, which means grave, or place of resting. He even says “this is the second death”. You don’t get eternal life, except through accepting him, according to the scripture.

Yup. That plus steal all your contacts and anything else they can get direct or indirect permissions for.

Definitely! I work at a computer 8-10 hours per day, 5 days a week. The last thing I want to do when I’m done working is sit at computer some more. I do almost all of my browsing on my phone. Firefox Mobile Nightly, plus NextDNS, plus Nord VPN, plus uBlock origin, plus a fake user agent string. I’m pretty secure on my phone.

“Here’s a website that you needed to install on your phone to see!”

You can help yourself a lot here by making commits every time you make a meaningful change. A feature doesn’t need to be complete to commit major checkpoints along the path to completion. That’s what feature branches are for. Commit often. It’ll help you think of messages, and it’ll help you recover in the case of catastrophe.
