@scribus I created my own character sheet when my group played in person. It was a modified 5e character sheet that squeezed more frequent stuff on the first page and the lesser updated and used ones on the other, like for example one page for equipment and money, one page for spells, one page for class features. The front page had the usual stuff like AC, HP, Temp HP, skills, ability scores, and a hand full of attacks. I did it because the box I used to store my character sheet and dice was smaller than a sheet of standard A4 paper. I repurposed a wooden slide box and put a felt lining in there so I could use one side as a dice tray. During my 4th edition days I was full custom as the character actions could be easily organized in card form, dailies, encounter, at-will. So it made sense to do the rest of the character in card form so it could fit easily into a deck box. Our DM also gave us our items in card form which was also convenient for tracking who has which item.

@scribus Yeah. They used children mystery novels as the theme of the episode. Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Tintin et Filou. My reaction might be harsh but it was quite disjointed and too illogical to follow. A lot of jokes are for those who know the book series but a lot more were just random for the sake of being random. I might be wrong but the way the episode was presented rubbed me the wrong way. On the positive: they did a great job adapting the art style of Tintin et Filou.

@scribus I am struggling as well with mine. It barely lasts a day idling. I have to keep it plugged in over night, otherwise there is a chance it's dead next morning.

@scribus my phone which outlasted both my parents’ marriage and my cat is starting to get there. Still usable for now but battery capacity is at like 50% now.

@scribus New car smell is already bad in my opinion, couldn't be any worse with a fart in the air. When I bought my car I got regular headaches from the rubber and plastic degassing. I'm glad it's all gone now.

@scribus Eventually we, as a society, will end up in a dystopia that is Demolition Man before cryosleep will be possible. I had a discussion with a friend about cryosleep. He says if all the cell tissue problems are solved that come with cryosleep then cryosleep won't be necessary. It means that if a method exists that repairs or reverses all the damage that cryosleep induces then there is a method for making a person live forever and thus making cryosleep not necessary.

@scribus cranberries and almonds are a great trail snack too, like a little treat I’ve been packing on trips

@scribus Keyboard smartphones are cursed by the lack of commitment from the manufacturer and the lack of enthusiasm from the public.

@scribus I thought about it but this model is a tad too expensive for a 2 year old phone. Also I saw reviews that show that the paint is peeling off the keyboard after a short time. Also there aren't any OS updates as far I have seen.

@scribus The laptop is dead. Long live the new used laptop. Just ordered a ThinkPad P52 with a NVidia Quando P2000. Not the greatest but it will do. I wanted to get away from puny Intel graphics. Good thing I didn't buy a new smartphone. I almost pulled the trigger on that.

@scribus I think we live on a planet similar to Frogstar from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Frogstar_World_B Instead of shoes it's office chairs. I've never had an office chair that was of sufficient quality. Even my current one had the problem that its cushioning was almost nonexistent after half a year.
Before I buy a car seat I try to repair the cushions by stuffing a gel or silicone pillow into, anything that survives long butt-to-cushion interactions. I already have a silicone pillow that I put on top but it tends to slide off more times I can tolerate. -
@scribus I just tried it. It failed to compute the integral of f(x)=x^3+(1/3)*x^2-(1/5)*x+3 between -420 and 69. Wolfram Alpha and Perplexity had the same and correct stem function but they differ hugely in the computed value.

@scribus I'll invent my own measuring standard and my own temperature standard and my own money in order to make any other standard obsolete and make everyone struggle the same way.
I'll also change the calendar to make every month 30 days long with an extra super short bonus 5-6-day long month at the end of the year for the Christmas holidays and the occasionally leap year day.
The clock should also be divided into 10 hours (144 current minutes long) and 100 minutes (86.4 current seconds long). -
@scribus Currently it's 1€ : $1.09. In the last half year it was teetering around $1.07

@scribus To be fair: I cannot math and 75 was the price of a jacket I paid a decade ago.

@scribus if i wanted to play Danny DeVito's Penguin in a Batman origin story movie, sure

@scribus this would have allowed me to fulfill my lifelong dream of gaslighting Donald Trump

@scribus I've seen both. The Holiday Special is objectively atrocious. It's a boring train wreck in a bizarre way only that time period could produce with the ferocity of a coked-up Carrie Fischer. Acolyte has problems and tends to sets more things up than to resolve and the resolution feels lacking. Nothing insultingly bad but just... wishing for more.

@scribus Today's tomato count is 105. Spaghetti sauce will be guaranteed a thing I have to make. This week I bought a giant glass of pickles so I have a jar for all of that.

@scribus You can laugh at the source of my inspiration and feel better about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z59AnkxekfI

@scribus The lucky ones are who own priceless baseball cards so they can be cashed in for horrendous prices by selling them to the most gullible people on earth, next to NFT-bros and crypto-bros. Of course the reports are basically promoting more card theft because the cards have become more profitable and hyped.

@scribus I think I have some 386/486 PC parts laying around in storage. I think at this point they are best Millenial material
