Did a jeweler tell you that so they could sell you something expensive? Tungsten rings are hard but brittle. They can be broken with a pair of vise grips, just like stone rings.

Before there was the Internet there were libraries. Your main reference books were dictionaries for looking up proper definitions of unknown words. Then you had encyclopedias for general topics. To get really specialized you had to consult the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature. That was an index organized by topic of magazine articles, including scientific ones like Nature. Reference librarians were very helpful in finding specific information in a hurry, and there were some books that couldn't leave the library.

There is a large difference between "freezing to death" in common language and being cryogenically stored (frozen solid). The lowest core body temperature on record of someone surviving an event like that with no deficits is slightly over 50F/11C.

Peter Parker doesn't have a leg to stand on in this argument. Dude literally figured out how to synthesize spider silk in large quantities, which is one of the most sought after discoveries in materials science. Then he just uses it to swing around New York City and tie up bad guys. All his money woes would be over with just one licensing deal with Oscorp. His best friend even runs the company so he could stipulate how they use it

Amigas were great machines, even the 500. I dreamed of having a 3000 but never got there. Who can forget the Guru meditation errors...

Pretty much the only band that I'll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.

Oh great, the bots are now sea lions.

Same here, I started with Slackware 4 and have done the recompile your kernel depending on what hardware you have quite enough thank you. I'll use whatever works with the least hassle and if that means Linux Mint on almost all my home setups, so be it.

We had the opposite effect in Michigan. After our committee got done redrawing the districts, the next election brought the legislature in line with how the voting percentages stack up in statewide voting. https://votersnotpoliticians.com/how-redistricting-helped-democrats-flip-michigan/

Word of warning, do not go to the foundry discord with anything related to plutonium. Don't mention it, don't have any screen shots showing it, pretend it doesn't exist. They are a WOTC partner and will not tolerate distribution of copyright material without a license.

 

On tabletop I play a Way of the Astral Self Monk with defensive duelist. I thought I'd try that in the game and switched Astarion to open hand Monk. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but it never seems to activate.

 

I wanted to get an opinion on how to partition various disks. My Win 10 machine is going to Linux Mint with Win 10 ending support. I currently have three disks: SATA SSD which is the C: drive, a traditional HDD for bulk storage (D:), and a M.2 SSD for games (F:). I was looking for an opinion on how to partition the M.2 SSD. It all depends on where you install games. Should the M.2 drive be /home or something else like /opt?

 

This needs to be here.
