Interesting kink.

Jeez, I was hoping to click the link and find that it was an old article because I know I saw this exact situation in another article a couple years ago :(

I don’t see it. Link?

I heard Steve Wozniak talk about doing this with $2 bills. He had them bound in a booklet and perforated so that he could tear them out one-by-one. Definitely one of the more entertaining ways to tip a waiter.

The point is that the publisher isn’t going to revoke your access to the physical book at any time. It’s a durable good, and whether the materials last one year or five hundred years is irrelevant to the fact that you (and all subsequent owners) have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of the book for as long as it lasts.

When you PURCHASE/BUY/OWN a copy of software, it is reasonable to believe that you have the legal right to the unimpeded use and enjoyment of that copy for as long as it lasts. That means no “always-online” requirements that make ongoing communication with the publisher mandatory, no chance of access to the software being remotely revoked, and no restrictions on gifting or reselling the copy.

Caesar wasn’t even the one who renamed those months. The senate named July in Caesar’s honor after his death, and then did the same for August during the reign of Augustus.

That looks absolutely fantastic

There is that of God in everyone.

I agree with everything you just said but I don’t see how it refutes the statement I wrote:

Advancements in technology and governance since the modern era have made it significantly less hard, but in the grand scope of history, it’s been really really hard.

If “technological advantages and a fair social system” weren’t really hard to implement, then every civilization would have them.

They didn’t say it’s impossible to have society without wealth disparity.

They said it’s “really hard” to have the necessary labor distribution for scientific advancement and to digest other civilizations’ works without wealth disparity.

And they’re right. It’s really hard to make those advancements without having people whose full-time jobs are to be scientists, artists, and scholars. It’s really hard to be a full-time scientist, artist, or scholar unless you’re wealthy enough that you don’t have to work all day for basic resources, or have the patronage of someone who is. It’s really hard to be wealthy enough not to work all day for basic resources unless there’s wealth disparity.

Advancements in technology and governance since the modern era have made it significantly less hard, but in the grand scope of history, it’s been really really hard.

Looks like Rhapsody has an ability I didn’t know about which lets you consume your +3 from Scarlet Remittance to either guarantee a crit, heal yourself, or give a target disadvantage on saving throws.

I still think which one is better depends on how many spells you’re going to be casting.

If you’re a spellcaster, sure, just for the stacking bonus to spell save DC and spell attack rolls. But then it’s better to compare it against a magic staff, not a shortsword…

For actually stabbing people, I think Knife of the Undermountain King is better.

I dunno, who told you Rhapsody is better and what was their explanation when you asked them how?

Same on Boost. I have to long-press the image and select “Open in browser” to see the video

I can’t see the video either unless I open it in my web browser. My reader app only shows me a screenshot too

Sounds better than pineapple on pizza! I’d gladly try it!
