Nah, that's silly. Asia obviously has the longest coastline.

Sure, based on that paradox, the specific measurement of a given coastline will differ. But if you pick a standard (i.e., 1km straight lines), Asia is easily the longest. Doesn't matter what standard you pick.

The only way the paradox matter here is of you pick different standards for different coastlines. Which, os obviously wrong.

Okay, but technically, incubus/succubus means demon who lies on top/beneath

Its summon top or bottom, not summon male or female

Yes. No photos would be better than the ai-slop. Like, they aren't even relevant to the article, they're just '' pop-sciencey'. If you're gonna use ai images, you could at least make them relevant to the topic?

I assume he's using a depreciation calculator, based in large part on milage. Y got a pretty good amount of miles on it for not being that old.

Rogues aren't really designed to be good at everything, they are designed to be very good at a few skills (in 5e). Bards are the 'generalists' (which, imo. is blatantly OP considering they are also good spell-casters).

PF2e is where they just kinda get all the skills (along with investigators).

I mean, if we're talking DnD 5e, rogues are one of the weaker classes.

In part, its cause they're only okay at combat. Pretty good damage (but not amazing), only moderate control options, and little defense, while relying on modes of attack that require work to function (sneak attack, stealth)

And, they do work as a skill monkey, but Bards are just kinda... better, at almost everything, on that front. Magic is just generally overtuned in its effectiveness, so really, a Wizard can be a better skill monkey, if they prep utility spells that day.

Big disagree, though still upvoted you cause that is a hell of a hot take.

Sneaky stabbers are cool, and I like skill monkies. Not just 'the theivery havers', but also the bag of tricks, the preppers. Batman is basically a rogue.

And, sure, it can be interesting to have the party be bad at Stealth on purpose. To have to bumble their way through everything. I don't think Rogues are strictly necessary. But I like that they're an option.

Its cause you really only need one person good at a skill in the party. Once you have one person with high thievery (or, any other skill, really), each addition of another character with that skill is worth less and less.

While, combat focused classes are kind of the opposite. Hard to have too many combat classes in most dnd-likes, and the more classes you have narrowly focused on combat, the better the party is at that task.

Predominantly environmentalism. Buying vegetables over meat is just radically lower impact. I buy local (or, better, grow it myself) as much as I can can too.

Ethics certainly is a concern, as is health. Though, I have a lot of allergies, which makes it challenging at times. Still, I'm used to not being able to eat a lot of food, to restaurants not having anything I can eat. So I already was cooking most if my food from scratch, so it wasn't the hardest pivot, even if my diet is objectively quite restricted

No, just best bros, who also explored each other's bodies sometimes.

When I stopped eating meat, my biggest craving was for cheap frozen chicken nuggets. Which, never was my 'favorite' meat meal; that'd be fresh venison steaks (as, I come from a hunting family). But something about how 'cravable' nuggets are I guess just hit my lizard brain hard. Went away after about a month though and hasn't returned

While there is undeniably large crossover, I also know a several of ace people, who are all very nerdy.

And like, for me, I mean this with zero judgement, I think kink is gross. People can and should live their lives 'out loud', and I think there is nothing wrong with kink. But also, I'd prefer not to hear about it, or to know specifics

gluten stir fry (lemmy.world)

Chinese baked Gluten, in a Sichuan stir fry.

Made the gluten from bread flour. You wash out the starch, than make a basic yeasted bread with it. The 'loaf' you get looks like chibata, but feels like its made of rubber.

Despite looking like bread cubes, they don't get soggy, since they're mostly protein. Texture is like tofu puffs; chewy and spongy.

First time making this, but I think I like it more than tofu for these sauce heavy dishes!

 

Seared king mushrooms, in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, chilis, with a dash of sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lavender.
