This is an art form if you play a lawful good face character and your DM says you aren’t allowed to lie.

This is the real pro tip.

I had the same thought. Most people I encounter online and in person are not great at summarizing information regardless of the context.

For example: those who don't summarize the content of a conversation and instead poorly and inaccurately act out the entire encounter, "word by word ". Ughhhhh.

Increased surface area. Only male glowworms metamorphose into adult forms and they use their feathery antennae to track females down by their pheromones. Increased antenna surface area helps them pick up those pheromones.

Their grubs can be pretty destructive, but I still love them.

After reading that, I think calling O'Leary a garbage human is an insult to garbage everywhere.

I like self checkout for both theft and non-theft related reasons.

Bingo. Progressives have been handling fascists with kid gloves for too long. Time to start ripping on them for being the sad losers they are.

I was just talking about this with a friend. Remember back when he seemed like a neat guy? Quirky and kind of a dick sometimes but maybe an actual good rich guy with interesting ideas. He was even on Rick and Morty!

It turns out that was all bullshit. What a disappointment he turned out to be.

Although I think it's fair to think about getting rid of those who want to get rid of others. Just make it a hard line: only those, no others.

The level of irony of his spreading easily disproven bullshit that talks specifically about (presumably his prowess in) assessing the truth of statements is immeasurable.

"I live in a right-to-work state, so my employer can shitcan me for any reason".

-Linus K. Lemming

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
