You can get a Shatfa or "bum gun" installed next to your toilet instead, if you can't get power for an on-seat bidet instead. They are very common in the Middle East. Personally I wouldn't do without one and would instal

The quality of writing in big budget media is truely shocking; they have no idea how to write a tight plot, or what verisimilitude means, or why consistency is important. Looks at Rings of Power; absolutely gorgeous, and some great dialog s

I agree; was going to provide Glass Onion as an example. I think also the Horror genre often ignores or subverts the Hero's Journey.

If you like "The Hero's Journey", you might like Noah Caldwell Gervais discussion of it with regards to Star Wars (KOTOR in particular in this case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI2iOB8ydGo As he points o

I imagine you can triage that quite heavily; change the critical ones (bank/email/etc.), then change anything where passwords and usernames have been duplicated. Anything else is probably pretty low priorty both in importance or c

I think the issue is that they want to be treated like common carriers (because then they aren't open to law suits about the content they allow) but also want to advertise and advertisers aren't keen on adverts appearing next to u

analaguously, I got the impression from the article and the discussion here that slavery was a dead-end trap; a local maxima - without pain being experienced by people who had the ability to change things, there wasn't much incentive t

Feel like I'm an outlier, judging from other responses here - gmail spam filtering is amazing for me; I rarely get spam in my inbox, and I've just checked my spam folder and it was a nightmarish pool of, well, spam.

compounded by, in D&D's case, the fact that most of their core material uses completely generic terms; fighter, cleric, strength, wisdom. Excepting a few, most of their monsters are generic fantasy monsters too or random combinatio

in my opinion this is a little disingenious (the quoted line) - we know that our physics is incomplete; the discrepancy between observed and calculated vacuum energy is vast - it's sort of like our ancesters wondering if we'd be a

3.5 is (as you'd expect) a revised edition of 3.0; Both are covered by the OGL 1.0 (which was created for the release of 3.0). 3.5 was an update released for balance reasons, as I understand it and didn't change core gameplay - it

a fair bit of the popularity is due to the splat books; world building is hard, and the world of Forgotten Realms is huge and detailed - combine that with the large number of iconic IP that they have, it would be a shame to have to abandon

I think that there's some detail here that hasn't been addressed in the replies that you've received so far. My understanding (relatively naive, though I am a long time consumre of D&D products) is that Hasbro has been ma

The twitter thread is the observation that "nobody wants to work anymore" isn't a recent phenomenon; it's entirely likely that the reasons change with the years. I imagine that a large part of the issue is that productiv

even if Deckard is, I don't think that Roy would necessarily know - there's no indication that they can recognise their own (and if they could, that should be the basis of any test, rather than the psychological test they have to
