> For the first edition we were determined to fit everything into a single core book, partly because we’re allergic to the not-uncommon business practice of releasing multiple unnecessary books just because people will buy them. As work on 2E progressed we became convinced we could best serve the game, and the needs of players and GMs, with two reasonably-sized books instead of one huge book.

@poiseunderchaos @Binder mass market doorstoppers have me thinking of the old Simpson airport bookstore gag:

[Int., TOM CLANCY AND STEPHEN KING]
MOLEMAN: I’ll looking for a book by Robert Ludlum
CASHIER: Get out

The line from Dickens to Proust to Stephenson goes all over the place

Okay I have a question for the French people reading this (like, from France).

To you, which of the below items is a "Beignet"? Just one? Both? Neither? Or would you not use this word to describe either thing?

A similar puffed pastry but with no hole.

CONNERY: I’ll take “Beige Nuts” for $800
TREBEK: That’s pronounced “Begnets”
CONNERY: that’s not what your mother calls them, Trebek!

So I spent a big chunk of my life living next door to Louisiana (Houston) and now I live next door to Quebec (Toronto) and it just this moment occurred to me to check if Quebec has beignets. Like, I'd simply assumed if I ever went liking for beignets I'd find them. So I asked a Quebecoise friend, and

Okay, so they do have them, but—

Quebec beignets have holes???

My world is (topologically speaking) rocked

DNS gurus, am I correct in believing that PTR records are primarily used for mail sending servers and servers that never send mail do not need one?

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@sysop408 On the public internet, yes, but there is a lot of usefulness in internal networks having DNS and DHCP working together to get DHCP leases with co- termed A, AAAA, and PTR records. (Windows Server, Infoblox, Your Home Router). in-addr.arpa is the rabbit hole you (don’t) want to fall down, but I Am Not An IANA Lawyer

@sysop408 PS there is an unintended consequence: a lot of stuff does blocking reverse lookups on incoming connections so be on the lookout for weird lockups on the order of 1-60 seconds

Don't even get me started on that new Bumble ad.

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@thepoliticalcat @DeliaChristina willing to bet that this campaign (which has been pulled) was done in house and not by an agency, same as the Crush iPad campaign.

In both cases, they bought their own hype and mistook a VC hype reel for advertising

flyingsaceur,
@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange avatar

@thepoliticalcat @DeliaChristina Exactly. And if the campaign is a flop, the agency takes the force of the blow. Doing it in house means you literally have no one to blame but yourself

ADHD meds end of week 2 note.

My whole sense of time is different.

I don't come home from work, do a few amusing things then oh shit it's midnight, time to sleep. It's fit in a whole evening of visiting family, bun time, reading, catching up with folk online, and it's only 10:20pm and it feels like a normal whole weekend's already fit in. Free time used to fly by, now it's savoured fully.

Also medicaiton still way variable and peaky, but may change Monday.
