By the rules as written, a paladin with a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other can cast a spell with both somatic and material components, but cannot cast a spell with somatic components and *no* material components.

My mental avatar of Donald Trump is just Cartman singing the "I'm gonna be on television, I'm gonna be on television" song over and over.

Strong showing early at PAX from Cat Secretary. There are dedicated buttons for "meow" and "bat", and I managed to knock over a vending machine during the office orientation.

Today at @officialpax.bsky.social 's Make-A-Strip Panel, @cwgabriel.bsky.social shares some art tips! #PAXEast #Drawing #Art #DrawingTips

Mountain lions are ambush predators, who pounce on you while you are reading their sign

Lookin' at you, Honda.

Good points are made 🤔 Waymo Incident That Trapped Harassed Passengers In Car Is A Reminder That A Person Driving Is Still A Person, But An AV Is Not, And Why That Matters www.theautopian.com/waymo-incide...

Van Halen's Lamborghini Miura has been restored to its original glory, including several modifications specific to the rock star.

When I was in high school, my Dad and I put a water pump on my 1976 Civic in the parking lot of a McDonald's.

Good luck to the Brazilian aiming for a fifth. I'll be there in May cheering for him.

Another cancelation of an electric car I don't want, another sign that it'll be a longer time before I see an electric car I do want.

So, a bit with Conan O'Brien in LA and Matt Berry in London...with transmission lag. I'm pretty sure O'Brien and Berry both understand comedic timing pretty well, so this must have caused them physical pain. Thoughts and prayers. youtu.be/0IT76uhjk9c?...

I saw "MJF Tribute" as the #1 trending topic and thought Michael J. Fox had died. #trueStory

Fellow Xers, it has come to my attention that we are boring as hell

That's disappointing. Not because I was planning to buy one, but it doesn't bode well for the industry for something this hyped to get its plug pulled (so to speak). I'm guessing it wasn't Trump's aim for everyone to stop innovating except China.

I have long thought I should report Gabe, but I don't know who I would report him to. www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/0...

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you?

That sound you hear is Canada's Strategic Smugness Reserve topping up again

I'm sorry I yelled at you, Brann. Please come back. #WoW #WoWMidnight

The EX30 makes me sad - it seems like it could have been so much better. A little less power, a little more range, and real controls instead of an iPad on a stick, and it could have been a winner.

Okay, this is much less annoying than it was the last time around. It seems like the points regenerate more quickly and you don't need to spend as many of them to get places. I'll stop complaining.

YES PLEASE

Well, that blows. (IMHO) I don't mind skyriding in itself, but it sucks for gathering. You're cruising along, see an ore node, go down and mine it, and ope I have to wait for my dragon points to refresh before I can go anywhere. Guess I'm leveling my non-gatherer first.

Wait. This game had a zone called "Crapopolis" and I'm just finding this out NOW? #wow

jack hughes would be a good name for a prosecutor

What a time to be alive

Baldur's Gate 3 is on sale. See you at camp.

With the exception of "being cool to look at," cars now are vastly better than cars of the 70s and 80s. Faster, more efficient, and MUCH safer.

I didn't like Beyond Burgers when I tried them a few years ago, but over the last few months I've tried several Impossible products and I think they're amazing. The meatballs, if cooked in meatball like ways (i.e., drowned in sauce) are on par with any other frozen meatball I've had.

Technically this is a gaming post

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

I've been off Bluesky for a bit. I got to the point where I felt guilty doing anything but reposting Trump shit because, clear and present danger and whatnot. Like, if someone's house was burning down, I'd feel like an asshole sliding up and asking what they thought about Pluribus.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

I understand many of you will stop watching CBS news, just as you stopped reading the WaPost. That’s bad for them. But the real problem is we’ll have one less independent, reliable source of journalism. That’s bad for us.

"I am the government, I can do whatever I want and nobody can stop me" does not fit well with "The Democrats have shut down the government"

Chiron: ICE WILL BE AT BAD BUNNY SUPER BOWL SHOW - AS A TREAT
