I always love the one topic of, "What's the lowest level way to kill a Tarrasque" which usually involves a wizard, and a 'Read As Written' interpretation of physics in game rules.
I can't recall the actual solution posted, but I think someone suggested a level 7 wizard could make a hole big enough and create a scenario where the Tarrasque is an an eternal state of drowning.
@ProfessorLokiCaprion makes sense. I haven't driven one yet, I might change my mind. But I won't be new (or even newish used) car shopping for a few years again yet.
gonna have to replace my current daily driver soon, but it's going to have to be another beater.
@waxeagle We on the Wet Coast are often mocked by the rest of Canada for completely losing our heads and ability to drive when one snowflake falls. (I'm partly from Ontario, so I sorta agree...)
@Metool The northern one, yeah. Bare streets earlier in the day, white a few hours later. The kids were beside themselves happy this morning.
@waxeagle *looks up Georgia on Wikipedia* Wow, yeah, rarely below freezing there. I have this highly inaccurate image of East coast states all being like Main, except for Florida.
Yeah, we're in Baltimore. It snows here rarely enough that people freak the crap out whenever it happens, but often enough to make rational folks wonder WHY people are freaking out.
@waxeagle I used to feel that way until my kid started school. Now I have a weird double-vision where I catch myself hoping for a snow day and keep having to remind myself that they suck now.
If you're going through Topeka, Witchita, or Kansas City, it could be rough in eastern Kansas where it's nothing but a flat plane with nothing to stop the winds.
Wow, China landed a thing on the Moon, the Canadian Supreme Court struck down anti-prostitution laws nation-wide, and Ohio overturns the same-sex marriage ban. This is what happens when I ignore twitter for any length of time.
I would not be surprised at all if the SSM and anti-cohabitation turnarounds were of a piece. The Republican argument that SSM logically leads to legalising polygamy might be seen as a feature.
This is a kindly preemptive reminder to keep discussions of this nature amiable, remembering that other chat citizens may hold cherished views contrary to your own.
@SevenSidedDie The Browns (the Sisters Wives family, who are involved in the polygamy-related ruling) did actually compare their situation to same-sex partnerships, IIRC. I'm not sure if it's part of their legal strategy but it's part of their public presentation. Utah in general has an interesting situation because it's the state that's most opposed to polygamy but also the one with one of the larger populations of people in (non-legal) plural marriages.
@AlexP Yeah, it's actually a fairly solid argument, despite the partisan opposition from the liberal end of the spectrum (simply because it's coming from Republicans). It's essentially the "why is the government in the marriage business?" argument.
@AlexP Utah is most vehemently against polygamy for (as I understand it) legal and historical reasons, since it was a condition of joining the Union. That just pushed it underground though, rather than extinguished it, making for a very mixed public opinion, I gather.
