  • Variable name - 7th level wizard spell.

    For the next 24hours; nothing about the targets identity may be discovered by magical or mundane means. Anyone inquiring about the target has a plausible and consistent story placed in their mind instead; it doesn’t matter what the target tells them or what they see.

    Someone with the Truesight ability; will know that there is magical concealment active, but will be unable to discern any details about the target.







  • When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

    e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say “zero”, then spot 31 is “one” etc… till you are at spot 35 saying “five”.

    Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as “one”







  • Your voting system is a binary choice. It sucks, but it is what it is. Even in our elections, often it is choosing the least bad from a bunch of arseholes. From are outside perspective, I honestly can’t see a single thing trump an objectively better choice on, for the non-millionaire/billionaire class.

    It is either a vote for one or a vote for the other, voting third party or not voting is exactly the same as voting for the winner.

    Our voting system is a bit crap; STV is better than MMP, which is what we have. But you guys have made FPTP worse with the inclusion of the electorial college. Maybe it made sense a long time in the past…


  • If cosmic inflation is correct, probably not. Inflation is our best theory of the beginning of the universe.

    According to inflation, spacetime expanded exponentially from an infinitesimal point to many billions of light-years across. As far as we can tell, the universe is expanding again but at a much slower rate, due to dark energy.

    Spacetime survived the inflationary period, so it looks like it doesn’t have a “tear” mechanism.

    Another way to think of it, is to assume once torn, what is it tearing “into”. If you rip a bit of fabric, you look through to the other side, nothing special. If you tear our 4-dimentional spacetime, what are you looking at when you look “through” the ripped portion? This implies that out 4D spacetime is somehow existing in a higher dimensional reality.

    I was disappointed that you guys didn’t just hold your nose and vote for Hillary (I know she won the pop vote).

    Honestly Obama did wonders to repair your reputation; he was a great statesman. Hillary was a massive step down, but electing Trump…wow what an own goal.

    Between BREXIT and Trump, the world got worse pretty quickly.

    I am really hoping you get your act together and elect Harris, Trump is worse now than he was in 16 and 20. If he gets elected, it will further embolden the far right, but not just in the USA, the rise of fascism in Germany is not something the world needs again.
