I had the DVD special with making of bits.

It shows how they went to a local blacksmith to make the pully rig for the zipline scene and it was dirt cheap.

Damn I miss DVDs from back in the day. Directors commentary, deleted scenes, bloopers and behind the scenes were the shit.

That hole is hers...

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Holy crap she got me too!

I didn't realize she pulled out that bait on the immigration issue! That was calculated as fuck!

Hatred is also taught.

Its sad that kids are in MAGA as well due to this.

He specifically said his crowd was bigger than MLK.

I don't have the words...

First. I hope your family is OK.

Second its total bullshit the medical insurance companies can just declare something isn't needed (usually by a doctor on thier payroll). Then use that as a justification to decline coverage.

This is supposedly a standard tactic for them too. Decline all big claims and see who fights it.

That's insanely immoral especially because anyone with a huge medical bill clearly has some shit going on and the last thing they need is the massive stress of a massive medical bill.

We have movies and TV shows that poke at how bad our medical coverage is and we Americans just accept that the plot is acceptable.

The ones that come to mind are:
The Rainmaker kid dies of lung cancer because insurance declined treatment due to it being "experimental".
Breaking Bad yeah. Cooking meth to pay for cancer treatment

What is fracking?.
Fracking — shorthand for hydraulic fracturing — is the process of extracting gas or oil deep underground using a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to break up rock.

Its definetly a controversial subject.

I think it's a hot issue for many working class citizens due to the results of creating more American jobs and lowering gas prices.

On the other side of the issue is climate risks and feeding our reliance on fossil fuels.

Edit:
Yeah keep downvoting me without adding to the conversation. I haven't said I was one way or the other. Just providing an article for education on the subject and speculating on why people are on both sides.

To state my opinion. I'm against fracking. Against ICE vehicle subsidies (fuck these huge pick up trucks). Also for nuclear power.

I'd consider it a win if she gets more registered dems to get out and vote.
That's the only thing I wish they'd say more often. Get out and vote!

We have loads of people on both sides that are registered, but sit on their ass too much.
Dems vote way less than Reps. Feels like a bad HOA way too often.
Shit gets ruined by bored old people cause they don't have anything better to do.

And she only did it to counter a bold face lie he said about herself.
Not 10 minutes before she stated that she did not ban fracking, will not ban fracking and made the tie breaking vote in favor of fracking.
But he still says "shes going to ban fracking if elected" like dude WTH. Are you paying attention?

So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.

Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out...

Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.

I realized it was a manhua.

I don't know why but there's always so much happening so fast it's hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.

What are your thoughts?

Other manhua I've dropped:

  • Versatile Mage

  • My Wife is a Demon Queen

  • Monster Pet Evolution

Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this.

Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing Linux on an old desktop? Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn't work too well for wall mounted televisions. My options are mini PCs or a 3rd party streaming stick. Even a RasPi stick running OSMC should do the trick.

These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I'm concerned about embedded malware. Best option would be to wipe it and load OSMCor raspbian to ensure its clean. Anyone have experience with this?

Care to share your setup?

Update: My ideal solution would be $20-$50 for a replacement to several fire sticks in my home. For a solution around $100 I'd just go with a old refurbished mini pc from ebay/amazon and throw full Linux on it.

Setting up Kodi via the linux OSMC distro or even Android TV both work. Might stream games with steam link. Eventually going to setup jellyfin in my home

Current Plan: Get a mini pc and mount it behind / near my television. Ideally I would prefer just a stick for a cleaner / cheaper solution.

Finally researched about the Orange Pi (rasp alternative) and the darn thing comes with full hdmi! Orange Pi 3B Full HDMI and SD / eMMC / M2 (sata3) slots!

So I'm a long time fan and playing my first campaign. First big quest and we're in a fortress.

Pretty spent after an encounter and some traps. We see a sleeping BBEG in the way of our finish.

Cast pass without a trace to sneak past. Fighter in heavy rolls a nat 1 on his disadvantage.

So it's 1 + 1 dex +10 pass without a trace = 12

BBEG passive perception is 10. We sneak past.

WTH? I mean sure my PC is happy but I feel somehow disappointed in our DM giving us a pass.

I've DMd before and would've definitely woken up the boss.

I feel like DM gave us the pass cause it could've been a TPK.

Thoughts?

Edit:

Thank you everyone for your thoughts.

I was caught up in the homebrew rule of auto fail nat1s that is NOT in the PHB.

Rules as written we earned that easy win by taking advantage of the bosses low perception and spending a spell slot on pass without a trace.
