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...

troyunrau,

Is it cursed maybe?

troyunrau,

Tulips. Grow up, sell them, stick em in the dirt. But whatever you do, don’t invest in imaginary tulip futures.

troyunrau,

Cross these two together and you have a Canada Goose. Aka, the cobra chicken.

troyunrau,

I’m sure they’re tasty

troyunrau,

Marinated Canada Goose? Like, maybe some vinegar+orange zest overnight… 🤔

troyunrau,

You wouldn’t want a confrontation with a Canada Goose. They scary AF.

troyunrau,

It occurs to me now that you’re quoting Letterkenny and I am foolishly oblivious.

troyunrau,

Likely a typo. Out and Our often autocorrect to each other, and the keys are next to each other.

But once again this proves: the best way to start a conversation on the internet is to be nearly correct. Bad memes start more conversations than perfect memes haha.

troyunrau,

Sort of. The triple point doesn’t really exist at standard atmospheric pressure. The true triple point is somewhere around 600Pa pressure – or a out 0.6% of atmospheric pressure. You can achieve this in the upper atmosphere, on Mars, or in a vacuum chamber where you pull the pressure down to that point.

There is such a thing as vapour pressure in our atmosphere which is different than the triple point. You see this as humidity. But this isn’t truly gaseous water – rather it is more akin to liquid water molecules held in a gaseous solution (the atmosphere being the solvent).

troyunrau,

Water vapour isn’t really applicable here, unless you’re talking about very low pressures. Although you could consider it a component in a mixed gas, it’s not really gaseous water. The true gaseous form of water is steam. Water vapour is more like water that has been dissolved in the atmosphere.

By analogy: sugar is solid at room temperature. But you can dissolve it in water. Have you converted the sugar into a liquid? No. Because sugar is a liquid only at temperatures above 160°C. But the resulting mixture is liquid.

troyunrau,

Me after chirping my own teammates during sports.

Devil with hairy chest

troyunrau,

I have a nipple ring

troyunrau,

You do realize this is about the Unity game engine, right?

troyunrau,

I keep bumping my head on the roof tho

troyunrau,

I have a distinct memory of driving past a house like that repeatedly as a kid, but that was decades ago now. Tried searching for it now and cannot find it. I suspect it suffered a similar fate. Can’t find any photos or references to it online though, so maybe I imagined it…

troyunrau,

Everything embedded with “watch on X”. Ugh.

troyunrau,

This is a marketing trick, part of the shrinkflation treadmill.

(1) Step one, make a box with three rows of cookies.

(2) Step two, make two products, one with two rows (at a slightly lower price than the three rows), and introduce a Family Size/Share Size/etc. with four rows that costs just under double.

(3) Step three, return two step one, but now with a higher price.

Repeat ad nauseum.

The thing is, as a single consumer who is trying to buy at the best price point at any given time, I’ll fall for it repeatedly.

troyunrau,

Not sure if it’s still the same as it was back in my day, but KDE’s “release candidate” nomenclature was always a bit of a misnomer. You’d never see RC1 actually released as final. What it really means is that the alpha “feature refinement” beta “bug fixing” phase is over, and it’s the final testing phase for showstoppers. However, the definition of showstopper seemed always to be very wide. Thus, a lot of bugs still get reported and fixed during this phase, and RC really means “beta, but towards the end of the pipeline”.

Which is in contrast to the Linux kernel where a RC can be declared ship-ready and simply get renamed.

Admittedly there’s a fairly large impact difference between kernel level bugs, and say a bug in Okular…

troyunrau,

If you’re as old as I am, you’ll recall software using the term “gamma” release instead of “release candidate” for that phase. ;)

troyunrau,

In the web interface, crossposting is handled more cleanly – both in making them, but also collapsing them. Not sure why. Nevertheless, it is one of the few shortcomings of using Connect.

Ideally, it would show the post once, and then show the comment threads for each community, so you can dive into the various comment threads from any/all of the crossposts.

troyunrau,

You had ChatGPT write that apology, eh? ;)

troyunrau,

Yes
