How is taking a pay cut when there's massive inflation even remotely understandable? Inflation means that they need to pay you more, not less; your costs are rising.

Speaking of D&D Patreons, Conflux Creatures creates more interesting versions of thousands of monsters; using those had really spiced up my game, since the players have no Idea how combats are going to go any more.

Terminator 2. The ad campaign and trailers revealed what had the potential to be an amazing reversal of expectations well ahead of time. I actually got to see it with a friend who was out of touch enough to not have seen any spoilers; I wish I'd had his experience.

I'd suggest it can be used even more lightly than that, to express that someone is pitiable in some way. My boss, who is from the Carolinas, was talking about her mother who had just had a stroke, and said "my momma, bless her heart".

As you say, there are shades of meaning, and context is sorry important.

Obsidian is fantastic. I use it for work and also for personal stuff like planning TTRPG sessions. Especially with the plugins that are out there, it's super powerful. Getting into using metadata tags and the Dataview plugin it becomes a pretty amazing knowledge engine.

I'd encourage you to check out SyncThing; it works great for syncing pretty much anything: I use it for my Obsidian notes and for my KeePass vault.

Interesting, thanks! I've only vaguely followed crypto stuff, so not really too familiar with how it gets used day-to-day

Gotcha, thanks! So you can just swap Monero for Bitcoin without going through KYC stuff?
