I feel let-down by the actual additions to 5. Core spawn are just an event, and the new mission type is an obvious lead-in to Rogue core. The rest of it is a bit of plant-life and a new bug, so how about.....

*Moar angry plant-life!!*

- Snatcher vines to drag dwarves painfully up (or into) vertical walls..
(as opposed to cave leeches that get you in open areas)
- Spore-clouds that make the dwarves passively hallucinate.
Similar to the "drunk" effect but with colors and patterns instead of blur, and it gets more intense the longer you move through it, but clear up faster the longer you are out of it.
- Korlok Tyrant-Weed variant - instead of a forest of angry asparagus shooting stuff, it spawns pincer-like vines that grab dwarves and try to stuff them in it's maw (think little shop o'horrors) -- give it a weak point ion the inside of the maw, which only opens when it is feeding itself a dwarf or other creature (it should feed on anything it can grab once activated, wildlife, glyphids, etc , but prefer dwarves)

Unrelated - I was SO disappointed to not get a Rockpox Detonator in Season 4. Variants are fun!

Windows (in the non-Enterprise SKUs) is a mass-market consumer commodity product, so if you don't like or want some particular default component that's tailored to the majority, and can't remove it, you can basically just go use a different operating system.

"Most people" don't care, just a loud minority who don't understand that Microsoft doesn't make Windows to meet their personal needs.

Responsibility is a scary concept for many NFPs including churches.

Higher taxes, fewer non-white people (redlining…). Pet cops. You can say you live in a village.

Fewer places to soar as high, no rock outcroppings or faces that cause the uplift from thermals. We also have many more osprey due to the abundant water, and smaller hawks (cooper, sharp shinned) are super common. Red-tails for sure, but they’re lower down and less obvious.

None of the average low-level tools who stormed the Capitol knew anything of value, so of course they have nothing to plead out with. Fools.

Trumps legal stooges on the other hand, were at the very least in on the planning, so they know things they can use to buy their way out of a years long sentence in a Federal “fuck-you-n-the-ass” prison.

Make them bleed. Going price is a couple of million per claim. At 500 claims, that’s about a. billion, which explains why they’re happy to burn 100m to get it this far.

(puts on Unit Comissikner Hat.) If anything, we don’t want COs that just want a unit to exist and not take responsibility or be actively involved in some way. It’s bad for the unit, the district and the council. When I find a unit whose CO doesn’t want the responsibility, it’s time to fidn them a new CO. — This is how I approach a CO or their rep or board with concerns:

A charter is a grant of authority from Council, via their relationship with National, to have the privilege of “owning” a unit. Yes, CO rep, that means responsibility.

The same kind of responsibility that comes with running the non-profit organization you probably are, because the unit you are chartering, is effectively a part of you.

We ask that you provide approval for responsible adult leadership, and ensure they get background checked (which we will do for you via the application process, — assuming you follow it).

If you don’t sign the application indicating you approve — we don’t process it and that person isn’t a leader or background checked, and should NOT be working with youth — the same way you’re probably checking your own staff (you’re not? Let’s talk about how we can help with that).

Unit assets belong to you, and are in trust to you for the unit. ( if you’re a church you know how this works, as the higher council, presbytery, bishopric or parish probably has this same arrangement with your “real property”), with the idea that it’s managed for the purposes of the organization — hopefully preventing leaders or other participants from absconding with equipment or funds, in the same way you have your org’s finances wastched by an auditory or other outside parry.

When it comes to trailers, other equipment, if your org has a van, bus, vehicle, building or other property, you know you are responsible for making sure it is safe for use, via registration, inspection, certificate of occupancy or fire inspection, especially if there will be youth using or in it.

Same thing here, the agreement asks that you extend those protective measure to the unit and it’s equipment, to keep the youth safe.

What other policies that the BSA has that you want to discuss, or understand the reasoning for?

— comment, this is always about appearance and how you frame your response against whatever they are afraid of.

Chopping those leaves into the lawn to keep it healthy over-winter is better than blowing them off or bagging…. Plus it keeps the kids busy.

Yep. The whole island including Nassau, had a deer overpopulation problem. There’s not enough hunting to kee their numbers down and their only natural predators are pickup trucks.

You’ll see walking corpses starving from lack of food and water on the barrier beaches by January.

I’m in my 40s and I learned what everybody makes fun of as common core math in private school. It was made fun of back then too, but I can solve semi-complex math problems in my head that would require a calculator from most people because of the techniques. most of my school mates, from that time can too.

This stuff actually works. You just have to give it a chance and keep working and learning it until you get it just like anything else in life.

Last year I watched an impromptu fried dough & dance party held by a pair of individual gender, unlinked troops from different m COs in a campout. Was great. Units have camped adjacent since on several occasions at separate sites and taken turns running events both together or by each unit. Units cross school district lines, and don’t have many comminalitesbithrr than being part of the same district/area whose leaders know each other from roundtable.

There was Disney, disco classics, various K-pop nonsense, singalongs, laughter, giggling, etc. this could function as a single unit and in many ways, does.

Don’t ruin a good thing. Let units have choices and find their own fit.

I’m presently rocking an iPhone Xr which is 6 years old, and works solidly. On my second battery, everything else is original, screen included. I’d keep it well into next year, and probably longer, if I could.

It was about $700 cas upfront, not via a carrier discount, why would I need more? No interest and no payment plan or payoff to worry about.

All the local paywalls (News12, Newsday, NYT) can easily be avoided using Firefox and the right plugin.

Only the NYT is worth paying for.

Hafta sleep on a pile of hundreds for a while to relive some of that stress.

Friendly reminder that “separate but equal” is anything but, and the last time it was tried as a social policy it was racism instead of the current sexism.

Immediately reminded me of the classic The Black Hole, and it’s villain Maximilian. Old school menacing a I-to villain space vibe. Very nice young one.

We will watch your career with great interest.

THIS. Teach your children basic fucking life skills. Cooking, nutrition, laundry, basic tool use, mending, cleaning, basic finances and credit,

It is NOT the purpose of the school system to raise children, it’s purpose is to educate them.

Israel has a long history of treating the Palestinian people as third-class citizens. It’s basically an apartheid state at this point.

Of course, that kind of slaughter plays into the hands of all the people who don’t want peace, on both sides.

Nothing. If I wanted to live in queens, I would.
