Roman Dodecahedrons: A Mystifying Archaeological Find (hackaday.com)

Much about archaeology can be described as trying to figure out the context in which objects and constructions should be interpreted. A good example of this are the metal dodecahedrons (twelve-sided shape) which have been found during archaeological excavations at former Roman sites. Since 1739 over 115 of them have been...

Pronell,

There have been several other articles about these in the past few weeks.

One of the most common suggestions is exactly that, used for knitting fingers for gloves.

Another I saw that made sense was for securing tent poles, with the nubs being used to secure the canvas to the ground.

Pronell,

Fair enough, I was just passing on what I’d read.

Pronell,

British gameshow on YouTube.

There are other countries versions now.

Basically comedians being given ridiculous tasks and given no prizes for it.

Pronell,

Drinking beer, doing dabs, and watching Taskmaster with my wife while we eat frozen pizza.

Not a bad evening, really.

Pronell,

My vet tech wife believes you’re correct, a cyst or blocked gland and nothing to worry about. Keep an eye on it to be safe. Def not a tick.

Pronell,

Jurassic Mars.

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...

Pronell,

I’d suggest feeding it to Gale but I’m pretty sure that weapon is found well after that isn’t an option any longer.

Pronell,

Elixir bag. Oil bag. Potion bag.

Gaaaah, do I hate looking for the right bottle!

Pronell,

My wife disassembles her burgers before eating them. (Chopped beef steak with a roll, what’s not to like?)

She’s such a weirdo.

Bloom County Starts Tomorrow (sh.itjust.works)

If you don’t know about Bloom County it’s a comic strip that ran the decade of the 80s (1980-1989). It was one of my favorites as a kid and though some of it will surely be dated, the majority should hold up well to current times. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in...

Pronell,

I’m here for it!

My wife also grew up with it and even had her own Bill the Cat. She’s psyched too!

Pronell,

A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

The head monk said, ‘We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.’ The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.

He asked what was wrong.

‘The word is ‘celebrate,’ not ‘celibate’!’ sobbed the head monk.

Pronell,

He needs his diaper changed too!

Pronell,

That is true, more support is needed all around, and there is a crisis of men questioning themselves and their society, along with well-funded outside forces ready to radicalize them.

The central question is compelling because self development and changing society are both vitally important, and we need to be doing a LOT better than yelling “No, not like that!”

Pronell,

Rudderless men with little career prospects realizing they’ll never get to a comfortable lifestyle without a major change.

They can either change themselves for the better or join a movement that aims to change society and hope that it propels them upward.

Better education, empathy, and economic conditions can turn the tide, but it’s a big job.

Pronell,

The one where they keep running into each other and then when they don’t it turns out the other one died.
