So Unity8 (now Lomiri) isn't the same as the Unity Desktop? Also for some reason I thought they were moving to Wayland... I guess not having a flash friendly phone has left me really out of touch with UBports...

@anahata@mastodon.social would you prefer that I point such questions to your tabletop.social alt?

@anahata@mastodon.social the Liberty Vigilance actual play stuff almost sounded like the group was playing through a remote IM style setup. Do you do any table top stuff in cyberspace?

"America is still fighting bitterly over Obamacare, a minor — at least compared to Bernie’s plans — tweak of the health care system that was based on what was originally a Republican idea"

And that's why so many of Sanders' supporters are so fervent, Chris. We feel like the working class has been sold out because now the ideas the supposedly left champion are the ideas that the right used to entertain before they moved further right.

Listen, when I was a boy we didn't do social media. Our social media was going outside. You know, having a face-to-face conversation man-to-man. These days everything is different. We've got Facebook, Twitter, and SnappedChat. Don't even get me started on this Fetterverse website, I don't understand it. Never have, never will. Hey, I'm a politician, not a computer guy. Point is, Barack Obama won't respond to my friend request and I don't understand why.

Talking about table top gaming... this teen kid was talking about how powerful psions are in D&D5E. He said he railroaded a game by pumping his charisma stat and taking over the king they were supposed to help.

While I think I would make a terrible DM/storyteller, I think I could have dealt with that. There's the divine right of rule bonus to the save, wealthy protections from attacks, competent advisors acting the states best interest.

Why would someone want to ruin a game like that?

Alright, friends. I figured out how to add to the bounty on issue #2351 to add share invidious links from . Here's hoping we see it!

Another thing, listening to Liberty Vigilence, a real play in the Liberty setting, made me realize how much I miss table top RPGing. It's been maybe 15 years, and any more I feel like I have a hard enough time being me. But the group dynamic really reminded me of the fun I had playing.

I like how the Liberty setting uses "Atrius endures" as a saying. I don't know if it was done on purpose. But given the horror setting, it really echos the House of Atrius from Greek mythology. Cursed to suffer through generations.

Liberty Tales from the Tower tells horror/suspense stories that thread a needle for entertainment without feeling campy.

Mayonnaise round 2; the rematch

So, apparently our whisks have sublimated into the luminiferous ether. At a guess the refusal to hand wash them led to corrosion and subsequent disposal. Since a already had the egg yolk in the bowl and the oil measured out before starting... I went even lower tech and grabbed a fork.

A grueling but tedious battle ensued. But I have turned one egg yolk, some dijon, a cup of oil, some vinegar, and salt into something that looks like mayonnaise. Victory!

Whoooohooooo! I ran a long experimentation and I finally have good colors! Here is the Book Production Report 3 article with the solution: davidrevoy.com/article757/the-

Ghost River: The Fall and Rise of the Conestoga

During the Paxton massacres of 1763, a mob of white settlers, so-called “Paxton Boys” murdered 20 unarmed Conestoga People in a genocidal campaign that reshaped Pennsylvania settlement politics.

Attempted making mayonnaise for the first time. Not only did it split, but the vessel I used to stream oil lacked an appropriate flare on the spout and dribbled oil all over.

Next time, will try hand whisk...

second chance for Net Neutrality, US politics 

I think I get the mistrust of the media. It took three articles to put together a picture of the SC ticket pricing. 400 tickets distributed to various people to be given to those they rub elbows with. And then gift tickets for sponsors giving $1750 or more.

Haven't seen an article that talked about attendance numbers. That would help put the 400 into perspective.

I've been streaming the debates. I had no idea that candidates could buy ad time for intermissions. It seems like it should be against the rules. It's essentially buying extra debate minutes.

Sometimes the spelling thing gets ridiculous. I read a ton, so I'll know that a word looks misspelled but won't know the right way to spell it without looking it up.
