It’s not a LITERAL fog, you warthog-faced buffoon.

Classic death spiral. And I think the title is misleading. “opt to go uninsured”, as if it was a choice for them with a 100%+ increase.

Me too, just got the lego kit and thinking about adding LEDs and…oh wait. RDR2, not R2D2.

Because you always get attacked by cultists or assassins in the middle of the night if you stay at an inn.

Or maybe that’s just a Warhammer FRPG thing?

Prodigy is excellent.

Yes it is! I switched to it after seeing some questions about things TamperMonkey was doing, given that it is (or at least was at the time) closed source.

I’ll add ViolentMonkey (run arbitrary custom script on a site), and Stylus (add custom CSS to a site). These are great for adding extra features/utilities to a site you use a lot, adding dark mode to a website that doesn’t support it, etc.

Toss up between Warhammer Fantasy RP and Pendragon. WFRP has a reputation for grimdarkness and brutality (fair). Pendragon has a lovely system that plays fast and really encourages actual roleplaying in Arthurian Britain.

And the most brutal thing I’ve ever seen happen in a RPG was in Pendragon. The standard start includes some training exercises with your squire characters, including a joust with practice lances (break easily, no points or metal heads). You get to this within 10 minutes of starting, after 30-60 minutes of character creation.

One of the players suffered a critical hit to the face with a “safety lance” and was killed instantly. Had to roll up a new character, but was laughing the entire time.

True, but you can take that line of thought to some frightening extremes. How far do we go to protect people from themselves and their own ignorance? I tend to be a bit libertarian on this…as long as you’re not harming someone else, do what you want. For that to have any chance to work, people have to be informed, which would require orgs/companies to publish and label with much more information than they do now, and certainly more than they want to do.

Anyway, it all gets complicated pretty fast, which is why I list it as a “wish” instead of a concrete proposal.

I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from “limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people” up to “lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe”. Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.

Whew, switched to Linux just in the nick of time!

Nah, just someone trying to position an image in a Word doc.

No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.

Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.

Danny Trejo!

If I worked there, I’d be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of “DEI” it would become “DẸI”.

“No sir, ‘DEI’ isn’t anywhere on site.”

15% are dumb or misunderstood the question at this point.

I’ll have to take a look at Warpinator. Had been just doing SCP to the new machine, I’ll check it out.

Same, but I was running an i5-6600K, 16GB RAM, and a 6800XT. Replaced with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vraylle/saved/YWC66h

Right now I’m still setting it up for work, so the tooling I’m replacing is dev-related (Remmina instead of mRemoteNG, NetPad instead of LinqPad, etc.).

Also grabbed InputLeap to share the same keyboard/mouse between old and new PC while I do this, and set up a local SSH server on the new so I could just SCP files directly to it over local network instead of popping USBs…

Been a lot of work but disturbingly fun.
