It's much easier to move tape than couches and tables and it was a big help for feeling out what the space would be like with furniture. The more extreme method of this is using folding chairs and air mattresses. They aren't the exact right size, but they can still be helpful.

So, if you want to dramatically change the layout of the dashboard, that sets back production by weeks instead of months. Faster design time makes life easier in manufacturing.

Comment on Rooster Teeth is shutting down after twenty-one years in ~games
Bonooru Link ParentThat's what an article I read earlier today said (the verge maybe?). Apparently, they're looking for buyers for Red vs Blue, RWBY, and some other show I hadn't heard of.That's what an article I read earlier today said (the verge maybe?).

Comment on What's a "house rule" that has made a game more fun for you? in ~games

I'd like to get input from the table about what feels fair and reasonable. It's also going to depend a lot on the context. Playing a one shot probably shouldn't have the result being the player being sucked into a demiplane and a dozen session side quest to rescue them, but at the same time, in a 100 session campaign, having the party merely lose the encounter also seem wrong. So, basically the same as the 20 case, but bad instead of good.

What this means is that if someone rolls a 20 (or a 1 if you're feeling
meanspicy), then they roll again and continue until they stop rolling 20s. If you roll a single 20, then it's just a normal critical success. But, if you roll more than one then the success is successively greater. Usually this ends up meaning that a second 20 becomes hyper-competent and the super rare 3rd 20 is an auto-win for the encounter (I've never had someone roll 4 in a row, but I'm sure everyone at the table can come up with a reasonable reward for a 1 in 160,000 chance). -

Comment on What are some corporate websites that you consider extremely reputable sources of information? in ~tech
Bonooru Link ParentThat's totally true. I didn't mean to suggest that they didn't have issues (they all do). My intention was to say that on the whole they tend to be decent sources for an overview level of information.That's totally true. I didn't mean to suggest that they didn't have issues (they all do).

Hacker News has the issues of being a link aggregator, but it's rule requiring primary sources tends to avoid some of the nonsense and is therefore worth noting.

These are the ones I have. They're an adapter that lets you run ethernet over coax. So, instead of rewiring the house for ethernet, I'm using something that's good enough and doesn't break my lease.
