Engine Bursts Into Flames on Boeing Plane With 468 Aboard
  • I’d personally say it was useful. It’s a commentary on the article itself about the problem. Yes, Boeing has a HUGE problem lately, but is it actually worse than any other flying plane or jet manufacturer or is media hyping some of it up more because of recent events?

    I haven’t looked, but I would love to see stats of incidents of each airline compared to their entire running fleet. It may be like crimes per capita where yes there may be a lot reported, but really minor and small compared to the inventory actually flying.

    Is this an airline problem? A build problem? I am not an aviation aficionado so I honestly have no clue. I am not saying let Boeing off the hook for the shit they’ve pulled, but I want to know more in general about the aviation industry and safety.

  • Building a tool
  • I don’t have feedback on the tools, but as an SEO I am going to be honest and say that CSS needs to be tightened up a lot. Your button layout on mobile very difficult to read and discern what’s going on.

    After your explanation here and looking at the page you created, I’m still not entirely sure what you’re trying make and test.

    Are you trying to create a content management tool to make it easy to look up notes for your campaigns? Is this a place to store links? Is it meant to house player sheets?

  • MCDM's Flee, Mortals! & Where Evil Lives is on Dndbeyond

    Big fan of Matt Colville. I own Flee, Mortals the book and the PDF. I use the pdf in my games, but having everything in dndbeyond is also amazing. I think I’ll purchase it again and get Where Evil Lives too.

    I’m stoked about all of the 3rd party content getting added such as Kobold Press. It’s making this digital stuff very worth it!

    What does everyone else use and/or recommend?

    Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • Thank you for posting this. I had no fucking clue what this was about but after reading that summary I immediately thought bear would be the answer. It makes sense because human men are more than just trying to survive - there’s a higher cognitive thinking and humans are fucked up so more than likely a man would result in psychological trauma on a personal level that is worse than whatever the bear would do.

    For the record, I am male.

  • US airlines are suing the Biden administration over a new rule to make certain fees easier to spot
  • It would be sad if we all brought lawsuits against each airline for lying about their prices saying we will pay one thing and then getting charged a bunch more for things we weren’t told about up front. How sad that would be.

  • California says restaurants must bake all of their add-on fees into menu prices
  • From the same source, further down

    The existence of bait and switch schemes may also be evidenced by the following factors: whether in fact there were a significant number of sales of the advertised product at the advertised price;

    Adding on hidden taxes and fees is debatably not providing the advertised price. Maybe? I don’t know.

  • Google blasted for AI that refuses to say how many Jews were killed by the Nazis
  • …so we’ll probably never know the scope or why it only happened with the word “Jew”.

    Google has been studying natural language processing, n-grams, and semantics for years now. There’s no way they don’t have this data already baked into their AI.

  • Bad Batch Series Finale (Spoilers)

    Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

    Thoughts and spoilers here

    I was expecting more closure

    • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
    • Rex and his crew had no resolution
    • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
    • What happened to Cody?
    • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
    • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
    • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
    • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
    • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
    • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
    • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

    Tabletop Suggestions

    Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there.

    My conundrum: I have an old dining room table that is 30” high, 71” long, and 37.5” wide. It’s in my basement and sits against the wall when not in use and can be pulled out for room to sit on all sides.

    I have 5 adult players and am adding a 6th to our table. It’s fine except for needing room for snacks and player accessories (sheets, dice, dice trays, etc).

    I thought about getting a larger table that is foldable.

    My other thought is what kind of accessories could I get that would help them be able to place things on the table but also leave room for my mat and miniatures? Is there anything that I could clamp on? Are there stands?

    What options do I have? Money isn’t an object here, but I don’t want to have to break the bank if there are other options that I could do cheaper.

    Marvel has cast Pedro Pascal in its Fantastic Four movie, according to an unlikely source

    I don’t know how reliable this is, but it seems legit and with his popularity I do think it’s possible.

    What’s everyone’s thought on this as a rumor and as a potential actual casting?

    Gift for Muslim Family

    We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning.

    I wanted to return the favor with a nice card from us and a gift. I don’t know how strict they are with Halal, and I read that Halal-friendly might not be good enough so I’m weary of a gift card to a restaurant even if it says Halal.

    So what kind of gift(s) would be appropriate for a thank you? I appreciate any help you all can provide!

    [5E] Ready Action Question

    How do you all handle ready action for your players? Do you only allow calling of a single scenario or multiples?

    I’m think of implementing a rule at my table where a player that readies an action can calls out a scenario and a “otherwise” option. The reason is that, we as players, often think about our options on our turn and strategize - simulating a character deciding what they would do in that moment.

    An example of how I’d see this idea in use: Your character is next to a monster but there are a couple of enemies closing in that could choose you or a teammate. You ready an action so that you use Dodge if the enemy closing in reaches you to attack OTHERWISE you will attack the creature you’re engaged with when it makes their next attack.

    Thoughts?

    I found myself in a specific community I am subscribed to and wanted to search only that community’s posts, but couldn’t.

    I can search with the actual search function in app, but it would search all communities or all posts.

    No apologies as Reddit halfheartedly tries to repair ties with moderators

    “Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”
