So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

Because it is a word, or it’s easier to say, or funnier.

It’s definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) ‘fudney’ for FDNY

What it ‘actually’ is does not matter.

It’s ICE, as in: cold as

I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)

I played in a university gaming club from 1984-1989. Then nothing, but it kept popping up in my life. I just had nobody to play with anymore. Then 2016 arrived, and I did some internet searching. I found (after some false starts) a group, that I still play with every Thursday night.

Yes, for me it also feels like home.

I hope your—and mine—d&d journey keeps on giving!

This is like one of our cats

Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)

Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

• sequence number of the test
• temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
• method of ice cube creation
• volume of the ice cube
• volume of water/ice mixture
• depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
• type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
• did the ice cube sink
• if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

please also share your conclusion.

Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.

The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

Lies. Cats don’t ask questions, they assert their rightful place.

Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!

You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

I will never get to 20, yay!

Insight check! I think they’re just trying to deceive us, that this actually is an attempt to LFG.

Jon and Bodhi are also playing their part as Group Patrons in the official 5e (published by WotC on dmsguild) book “Minsc and Boo’s Journal of Villainy”

Including quests, stat blocks, lore, and special group perks.

You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII

Not exactly what you asked, but close I think: a (paid) full gamified typing course for kids, in several languages including English: https://www.typetopia.com/

People that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.

Why? Do you think signing is done by spelling out words?

Psst, are you sleeping?

It’s pretty easy for players. You can lock everything and give them access to their own token(s) only. The player can pan and zoom their own view, but when required you can sync all player views with your current view.

I’ve used Owlbear Rodeo in online sessions with co-workers that had never before played any ttrpgs, and it went great.

I use Owlbear Rodeo

It has maps, tokens, fog of war and some small tools like a pointer and a measuring tool for distances — everything I need.

If required you can install extensions but so far I do not really use that.
