Cant unequip mainhand weapon.

It’s the Knife of the Undermountain King, if that is relevant. I’m not a druid, so I don’t think it has anything to do with wild shape. I have had Jahiera in my party a few times. I did get disarmed once about 20 hours ago, so it might be related to that. Anyways, I cannot unequip, disarm, throw, or drop that knife. I’ve...

CaptPretentious,

Finesse weapons use str or dex, whichever is higher.

CaptPretentious,

Yep, I’m an engineer, just one on the team. We are all doing different stuff. So I give him high level updates based on our OKRs, that way he can properly communicate my progress were it needs to.

CaptPretentious,

As of New Year’s Pluto.TV moved this steam to DS9.

Red pill.

While I could retire right now with the blue pill, I wouldn’t be happy.

Red pill means I could spend more time and cultivate a better relationships with the people who actually matter to me. I’d spend a lot more time with my great grandparents.

I could also focus on being true to who I am and not being who I thought others wanted. Basically be who I was in college… But now at 6.

Of course, I could make all the right investments to make a lot of money.

I wouldn’t want to just go into the same career. While I might for a while, honestly I’d have the knowledge and money to take a run at a political career.

CaptPretentious,

When I was a teenager I wanted kids. I fully bought into ‘the American dream’ being sold. I’d get me a wife, kids, house, and a career. Helped that I actually like kids. Made it my life’s goal to try to be the best provider, best dad, best husband I could be.

Put myself through college, I have a good career, bought a house when I was 24, and still love kids. But I gave up on dating when I was like 28(?). It just became not worth it for so many reasons.

This last fall marked 20 years since I left my hometown to start my life… And I felt like a failure (still do). I exist to work and pay bills.

CaptPretentious,

Minnesota checking in. This is exactly correct. Great time for sitting around a fire.

Bluetooth headphones were very much useable when we had headphone jacks. Now your only option is overpriced Bluetooth devices that will not last.

Internal storage on your phone is not that big. What they want to do is sell you cloud storage. iPhone 15 Pro, to get 1TB of internal storage is $1500. The cheapest Samsung is ‘Galaxy S22 Ultra, 1TB’ @ $1600. And the Google Pixel 8, your looking at $1200. Each option basically costs about $500 for that 1TB option. But I could buy a 1.5TB card for $150 on Amazon…

Phone’s being thinner is the dumbest marketing point. It’s counterproductive to everything you want the phone to have. Like a decent sized battery, proper cooling, and features… And make it so that the phone isn’t flimsy. To say that people no longer needed these features is also just dumb. You know who decided people no longer need these features, someone in Apple’s marketing department who realized you could sell $150 headphones instead of giving away quality $20 headphones.

You need to realize that the reason people keep buying new phones isn’t because of the new features (which there are none) it’s because their phone now sucks because it’s aging out because they can’t replace anything. Imagine being able to recycle the battery instead of creating just a bunch of e-waste every couple of years.

CaptPretentious,

I’ve been with the same place for about 16 years. I wasted a lot of time staying in one department trying to be the best employee. I’ve moved repeatedly just within the company. Because moving within the company is pretty easy to do. The yearly pay raises I was getting was garbage. By moving departments and renegotiating my pay I’ve effectively doubled my pay from 4 years ago.

When there’s no incentive to stay but all the reason to go…

B. Not even a question. A is awful (except being friends with Tom could be chill)

CaptPretentious,

Oh you sweet innocent child.

Which would be perfect. To probably get the best sleep of your life.

Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

I mean the bare necessities

That’s why a bear can rest at ease

With just the bare necessities of life

It’s not going to be long until we have always online DRM TVs. Where the TV will prompt you to reconnect to the internet before continues to function.

At this point, it’s in the same category as a Rick roll.

Like a boss

CaptPretentious,

I saw the picture before I read the title, what a roller coaster of emotions that was. I thought he was going to amputate his foot.

CaptPretentious,

You really have to! Spider-Man wasn’t born Spider-Man, he became Spider-Man one day. You can’t know what/when will trigger your ability to use the force. So constant testing is required.

Small tangent, that’s the excuse I also use every time I’m drinking something and it goes down the wrong tube “Nope, still not Aquaman”.

CaptPretentious,

I think it’s under the premise of, of you have a functional car. It you got rid of that and bought an electric, you aren’t helping anything.

I would pay to be allowed to scoop some lava into a bucket. It looks so weird and I really want to poke it. How many people get to say they willingly got to handle lava!
