    @Loki said in Happy Birthday Aqua!: Happy birthday for sure. Tell us about your birthday exploits. Thanks, everybody! Not much to report here in reality, but in Neverwinter we tracked down some vampires, I killed a brewery foreman with a combination of harsh words and a lightning bolt to the chest, and then we took some ale barrels for compensation before the building caught fire. Also played a lot with the kiddo. She has a very large, very fuzzy d20 to play with now. Mostly she uses it as a stool.

    The thought of owning one and using it in public and fielding all the questions from random people about it is horrifying.

    Her plan was to row 12 hours out of every 24, and apparently did so for 60 days. That's a hell of a load on a 60 year old body, regardless of being in good shape. Nothing I have found states how she died. I wonder if she was tethered but in the water for the anchor repair. .

    People over 65 years old use Medicare, a government program. About 27 million are uninsured. For the most part, this means they don't want health insurance because if they can't afford it the government will buy it for them. You can debate what is affordable. The rest generally buy private insurance, either by paying out of their own pocket or by sharing the cost with an employer. And of course if you have the money you can just pay for healthcare out of your pocket. And of course if you are young and healthy you might not consume healthcare at all. I went for decades without paying for any healthcare except may a few dentist visits. I think a lot of the time/effort/talk/discussion/arguments/etc is just political rhetoric.

    No we’re not. I graphed out the sum of lightbulbs that were on in each state change (every toggle changes the sum by +-1) so it moves around in a jerky continuous fashion). That formed a narrow bell curve. When I say early ones, I did it to the completion of the cycle, or even multiple cycles for smaller n. I did also graph them for n=100 but just for the first few million ticks.

    I like Frey (super liberal and all) trying to inject some reason into this hysteria. The council needs to be careful this could lead to a decades long implosion of the city. I’ve never seen an overreaction like this before.

    @Loki said in White Actors Stop Playing Non-White Characters: @Axtremus said in White Actors Stop Playing Non-White Characters: @Loki said in White Actors Stop Playing Non-White Characters: Can I play more than 1 religious, race or whatever card. Yes, it's called intersectionality. Yup, so my question was is that okay if you play that card? I thought I answered yes to that question already. You can play that card.

    I just sent him an email, thanking him. I've started to do that. Not sure if it matters, but makes me think I'm doing something even marginally worthwhile.
