I think it's just what you get accustomed too. The heat level that seems painful is lower and below what is actually harmful unless you get used to higher temps over time. Same as people not used to drinking very hot coffee, or a cook or server used to handling very hot plates.

Your conversion took a wrong turn somewhere. BAC is just percentage, promille is parts per thousand. So to convert, multiply by ten. Making it 4,2 promille. Really shitfaced. Very potentially life threatening even if you are not driving.

A truly horrifying prospect.

Knowing all your players current stats, feats, and items is a pretty high bar for a casual DM.

But also, if some of your player's characters can make the roll and some can't, I'd say it feels worse to say off that bat, "Roll a WIS save, except you Phil, you fail." That will feel more like getting targeted than your build just not being suited to the current situation when you roll well and still fail.

Well, don't be hasty. Being sent back to Venezuela may not be the beginning of justice, depending on why they left Venezuela to begin with.

Well, I can understand the feeling, but it's not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.

Radiant heat is great, and heat pumps absolutely can and should be used to supply the heat. Radiant cooling, while technically possible, has a lot of downfalls, forced air is your best bet there. The same heat pump can be used for both though, just need a valve to switch between different supply loops.

If you made money doing that, it probably would be illegal. You would certainly get sued, in any case.

USA had the same thing, "Cash for Clunkers". Some of the cars we were better off getting rid of. Some of them not, whether because they were rare or classic, or old but still more fuel efficient than a truck or SUV. Sure increased the average price of a used car though.

Of course. But I'm not a machine churning out an endless spew of those bits and pieces with no further creative input. I'd be on the side of giving any truly conscious entity rights (including creative ones), but LLMs are not, and I don't think ever could be, conscious. That's just not how they work, to my understanding anyway.

Of course. Those resources are just a much larger impact percentage wise on an appliance replaced every two years vs 25.

But you can't make copies of it and sell them.
