Honestly, as a 30+ year DM who has played every edition from 1st to cap (except 4th- only made it to 6th), what people play at their table is wildly different from group to group. I don't know many experienced DMs who don't do a h

I don't think it is the company CEO/Exec side that is drawing the heat- it is the " over-exposed, not behaving like an adult in public " part that is getting him in the cross-hairs. And he seems to have disarmed the fol

In places where there are strong gun laws, like Queensland, you have offences relating to the weapon, separate laws for damaging the building and circumstances of aggravation if you do some real damage with risk of loss of life WEAPONS ACT

yeh but it's not the saas/big 4 that has developer login locally as admin that gets owned and then is not segmented sufficiently to stop the spread, it's the scrappy startup. And I say this while working at a scrappy startup

I agree that on or in public transport is fair for advertising- but I strongly dislike billboards that block interesting views of buildings, poke their brightly coloured cheeks into the skyline or glare brightly into lofts and apartments. O

Speed kills the censor. From an artistic perspective, but also, innovation in tech, revolution of ideas ettc. Status quo spots and counter-acts slow change. Ok, sometimes, maybe when it impacts them, they try to counter it. sub-optimally,

What is interesting, having worked from the inside of police for 15 years, is the difference between the different state (and federal) police- some are "forces" some are services. But in all forces or services, the level of corru

maybe in the US, but this is not universal and Amazon is a global behemoth. For sure, right-wing conservative politicians are birthed within police services (exhibit 1 peter dutton), and support for conservative gov feels natural for police

I'm not saying they can't, I just found my own exploration of solo play not as effective. Perhaps this is my fault, but for someone who spent the last 2 years enforced solo, if I could have got solo rpgs to work, that would have b

I always view 4 players as quorum. You can have fun with less, but it is a much choppier experience- sometimes flat, sometimes good. Ans 6 is my limit - just based on divided tabletime. I have craved TTRPG experience when covid and living o

Most police services/forces have a ceiling on that. I worked in one where there was a combination. Not in the US, but the issues are similar and we had a union. The union absolutely could not protect sworn officers who broke the law.

THIS is exactly what happened when they (google) pushed "Google Chronicle" a security offering- which my employer might use (having some GCP and a lot of Gsuite)- I wouldn't even suggest it to the CISO, based on the nearly 99

There is a more insidious problem at work here. Police are, by dint of their daily work, good at understanding how the law works and how people get away with crimes. This means that if you treat them equally to a random person, they have th
