A few months before. Theory checks out.
If your set starts with the Magician’s Nephew, move it to second from last. Read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first. The Magician’s Nephew is chronologically first, but the wrong order to tell the story. Which is why the author didn’t put it first.
It all makes sense if you read Magician’s Nephew first, but it removes mystery from the others. And the reveal of the events in Magician’s Nephew was more exciting after reading most of the rest of the series, instead of being the intro to that universe. It takes some of the magic out of the series. As someone who has read most of C.S. Lewis’s books more than once, I’m pretty confident he’d be pissed about it.
Spoilers below, it is a pretty good series, read it. But also, do not start with the Magician’s Nephew. It is chronologically first, so some publisher changed it after the author died, use the original order.
Tap for spoiler

She was a queen of a long dead world with a dying sun, and had gone into a magical stasis. The children inadvertently woke her and brought her to Narnia as it was being created. But Aslan is much older than her. It isn’t stated outright, but he may well have created the world she was born on too, if there are other world makers they aren’t mentioned

I’m not a dietitian or doctor, but it seems likely that the secret to the health benefits we find in so many traditional diets is that people eating that way aren’t ingesting preservatives, and questionably sourced flavorings, and compounds that are only suspected and not proven to give you cancer.

Or, it could be that deep underground there isn’t an abundance of fertile soil, and waste of that nature is sent to mushroom farms or something.
Last time I was playing FNV I had these two as my companions. Do not recommend for a melee build. Progressing is tough when half the stuff you encounter is dead before you get to it.
And that was without the pictured ultimate form nonsense.
I think it’s just what you get accustomed too. The heat level that seems painful is lower and below what is actually harmful unless you get used to higher temps over time. Same as people not used to drinking very hot coffee, or a cook or server used to handling very hot plates.
Your conversion took a wrong turn somewhere. BAC is just percentage, promille is parts per thousand. So to convert, multiply by ten. Making it 4,2 promille. Really shitfaced. Very potentially life threatening even if you are not driving.

Knowing all your players current stats, feats, and items is a pretty high bar for a casual DM.
But also, if some of your player’s characters can make the roll and some can’t, I’d say it feels worse to say off that bat, “Roll a WIS save, except you Phil, you fail.” That will feel more like getting targeted than your build just not being suited to the current situation when you roll well and still fail.
jmill@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•El Salvador releases hundreds of US deportees from notorious prison in US-Venezuela swap2·1 month agoWell, don’t be hasty. Being sent back to Venezuela may not be the beginning of justice, depending on why they left Venezuela to begin with.
jmill@lemmy.zipto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•'Climate change doesn't exist,' says Reform UK mayor despite third summer heatwaveEnglish1·1 month agoWell, I can understand the feeling, but it’s not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.
Radiant heat is great, and heat pumps absolutely can and should be used to supply the heat. Radiant cooling, while technically possible, has a lot of downfalls, forced air is your best bet there. The same heat pump can be used for both though, just need a valve to switch between different supply loops.

USA had the same thing, “Cash for Clunkers”. Some of the cars we were better off getting rid of. Some of them not, whether because they were rare or classic, or old but still more fuel efficient than a truck or SUV. Sure increased the average price of a used car though.
jmill@lemmy.zipto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Anthropic can legally train AI on books without authors permission, judge rules13·2 months agoOf course. But I’m not a machine churning out an endless spew of those bits and pieces with no further creative input. I’d be on the side of giving any truly conscious entity rights (including creative ones), but LLMs are not, and I don’t think ever could be, conscious. That’s just not how they work, to my understanding anyway.
Of course. Those resources are just a much larger impact percentage wise on an appliance replaced every two years vs 25.

That’s the real highlight for me.
