I wouldn’t want to be someone who worried about himself. There are plenty of folk who do, but they aren’t folk I like to be around. And I’m around myself, well, all the time. -David Drake, Servant of the Dragon.

Twitter is stupid.
I posted the price of gas on a thread asking for local prices.
As soon as I did it was flagged as “violent speech or inciting violence”
So saying “Louisville $3.67” is inciting violence.

@npub1587…kv0n loved Mondays show.
My doctor friends are very excited about the non-compete going away. They have felt trapped with the hospital network they signed up with and the only way to set up their own practice was to pay a big contract adjustment or move out of state for a few years.
You will see a lot of people changing jobs when this ends before the lawyers can get it back in action.
I am looking forward to the next garden show.

@npub1587…kv0n the Expert Q&A reminded me of the 80’s.
I moved off post (age 14) and into a subdivision.
It was cool having a shoppett near by. The third time me and my new friends walked in I was showing my ID card like you do.
The older lady behind the counter with a thick East German/European accent asked what I was doing.
When I said showing my ID so I can shop I got a very loud 10 min rant about how you don’t do that in a free nation, that she did not come here just to see kids turning into mindless idiots showing their papers on demand. (And that I was too young to have ID).
This is not that world any more

My spouse got a full time job today. She has been working part time for the last several years and now that the kids are all in high school/college and 2/3rds are driving there is less need for her to be flexible on time. It has taken over 9 months of applying and searching. The one she got she beat out over 600 applicants. If she wanted a second part time job she could have been hired a week after looking. The job market is not as good as the gov says. #economy #jobsearch

In the #DnD #TTRPG game tonight, we were fighting a "nearly blind" giant who we tried to bluff by and our only person who spoke Giant rolled a 2 on the d20 to bluff. So he attacked crying out "Death I finally join you today!".
My Initiative roll was way low and I was last.
First attack on him was a crit, he was hit five more times then attacked (missed) then it was my turn.
"I cast Sleep, up cast to 3rd level." (9d8) and got 59. Putting him to sleep.
Then I tied him up and everyone asked "Why?"
"Because I'm not a nice guy! He wanted to die, so I saved his life to spite him!"

Playing #DnD #TTRPG and we found a "talking oar". The Ranger Goliath took it and carried it because it was so big. DM was confused but did not say anything. A bit later we came to a lake with a raft on it "but no way to move the raft unless you swim and push it."
The Ranger says I'll just use the talking oar".
We are told it is not working. When asked why, it is because it is a round ball.
It turns out that it was a "Talking ORB".
Which explains why it took an hour to strap it on the rangers back.

Just got a very interesting magic item in the #DnD #TTRPG we are playing: A Chaos Bolt for a Crossbow.
It is a magic bolt for the crossbows, but until you fire it you don't know the +#. At that point you roll a d8 to know the Plus. IF you recover the bolt (60% it will break) the + resets.
My Wild Magic Succorer LOVES it!

Playing #DnD #TTRPG with friends right now.
We were talking about a 1e PC I played back in the late 1900's (81). How the DM was upset that my Elf Ranger picked as Favored Enemy "Human".
Because I was an elf and was pissed off by the humans that attacked my village and I had to hunt them down for revenge.
And I was tired of being leveled out of the favored enemy. You stopped facing Orc's at level 3.

My first wallet I wrote down the words on a 3x5 card. Played around for a few months, moving sats, removing the app, reinstalling and the like.
When I went to set up a new computer, I could not find the card. I could still log into the wallet, so I set up a new one, then moved everything out of the old one I don't have the keys for anymore.
I can see why this scares people, it was only just over 1,000 sats, but still scary.

This is more of a Damus question but does apply to NOSTR.
I thought I saved all the keys (private, public, hex private hex public).
At some point I got logged out of Damus, and when I tired to log back in the none of the keys would bring up my account. At the same time Iris phone app came out and all that would accept was the public (view only) for my account.
Primal is the only place I can post from on my computer (the phone app is not taking any of the keys) and my Aldi wallet still works.
Am I stuck? Do i need to rebuild an account and start over? I really don't want that, and I have no clue what I did to mess it up. (which means i'm likely to do it again.)

Spike Growth with Thorn Whip and a Misty Step from time to time, makes it really fun.

2023-11-11 02:02:33

We entered a room, I rolled a nat 20 on initiative (of course). We have three golems on our left 20 ft from the door. And 6 golems 80 ft to the left. Narrow walkways about 10 foot across.
I moved up 10 ft and cast Spike Growth just in front of the 6 golems.
I announce I'm going to hold off the big group, and let the rest take the other three.
The golems move 15 ft, (difficult terrain) and take 2d4 per 5 ft each. Next round they move 15 ft more taking 2d4 x3. The rest of the party is fighting hand to hand the three, take down one.
Next round I drop the spell, then cast Spike Growth right in front of them again. they move, take damage. The party takes down another of the golems on their side. Next round they move again, taking damage.
The party starts falling back into the hall. I then drop the spell again and recast it in front of the group. for another 30ft this time.
The party takes down the last on their side, mine move again and start falling from the damage. Only one made it to us and was taken out with one hit by the Ranger.
The DM had worried that this was going to nearly TPK us. We all had fun.

I’ve had some success with my #FitGamer #BodyByGygax effort.
Since August I’m down to 246 from 260/262.
But the real thrill is I scored a 502 out of 600 on the ACFT Monday. (The new Army fitness test). Last year I had 433.
My goal was 540, but improved in five out of six events. (The one with out improvement was 100 points max both times) in six months I take it again.
I am going to keep at it.

For almost a week I’ve been using sMiles and have just over 300 sats.
Not much. But 300 more than I had.
I have had no problems with the app, it does not interfere with my run tracker either.
You can use this link (and I get a few more sats) or down load it direct.
