Aside from the standard dark patterns and extraneous, feature-forcing bloat, I really dislike that flat-design trend. Not just does it look kinda bad, but everything is so physically bloated to try to separate it from everything else that you get notably less usable screen space resulting in annoyingly little information density.
Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...
While I do use a USB-C phone, the thing I miss most about the audio jack is a wired audio connection that doesn't remove charging or require a separately purchased dongle.
Oh man, that looks incredible. I wish it had a numpad though, typing all the authentication codes that I regularly have to do with the number row just feels so much worse. A numpad, even an attachable one, would make it an instant buy for me.
As someone who is not LGBTQ+ but is trying to understand it myself, the biggest key to "getting it" is separating sex and gender. Sex would be your biological make up, regardless of genital configuration. That's your classic XX vs XY vs the rare "non-standard". It's important to note that there are multiple types of different physical configurations that are "male or female" - Anatomical, Hormonal, Chromosomal, and Cellular - and they frequently do not line up 100%.
Gender is separate from this as a mental construct/thought pattern. For most people, these two things line up, and that is your standard Cis person. A Trans person is where their mental configuration does not match their physical configuration. When this causes significant mental distress we call it gender dysphoria. For the rest, we call it being Trans, non-Binary or something else.
Isn’t that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren’t gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?
Why would there be a difference between gendered wards in the quality of the care? Health care is tailored to the patient, where in the hospital they are located shouldn't affect it.
That's definitely a part of it. All of the MS web platforms rely heavily on first and third party cookies. You can't even log in properly to Teams if your browser is in incognito/private mode.

Because the majority of them are elected by the community that they serve. The rest are assigned by the current sitting state government. While this does result in politically aligned judges, in theory it ensures that the judges align with the current desires of the population. In practice, the whole thing is so twisted, convoluted and corrupted that it's just a nightmare.
Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn’t allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they’re incentivized to offer? I’d love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.
Back a long time ago when I worked as a cashier, it was store policy for us to bag everything for the customer. They could offer to bag, but we were expected to just start bagging automatically unless they interjected.
While I have no doubt that the EU has corrupt politicians, It's no where as visibly bad as it is in the US. Most of the people who could bring this forward get something out of what he is doing or contributing to them, and they would rather turn a blind eye than risk losing whatever he is giving them.
For some it's helping out their base, for others its something more monetary.
There are mechanisms there, but they only work when the people watching them are invested in helping the citizens.
I worked out a trade deal for someone to do some soldering for me. I had three devices that needed soldering, and they could keep one for themselves if they soldered the three of them for me. Today I discovered that they didn’t even attempt the soldering, they fucked up all three of the devices, such that the soldering job can...
While that is true, the verbal contract stipulated non-monetary compensation on job completion. Job was never completed, so the contract was never fulfilled, and compensation is not owed. This is why repair depots have a minimum charge for technician time laid out in their pricing.
Because the person is demanding monetary compensation, not demanding one of the broken items. But also, he might be aiming to try to keep all 3 of them as a "compromise" as they might not be as broken as he is representing them to be.
they could keep one for themselves if they soldered the three of them for me.
According to this post, the payment was arranged to be if the soldering job was done. The post then goes on to say that not only did he not solder the parts, he damaged them so they cannot be soldered by anyone else.
The other person did not fulfill his part of the agreement, so he has no right to the compensation.
The problem with that is that in practice, you'll often not have the spell prepared when you find out that you need it, and you won't have the luxury of waiting to the next day to prepare it. Buying it as a scroll will usually be quicker than waiting a day and preparing it, assuming it's in your spell book at all.
At least in my games, finding objects tend to be under as much a time crunch as combat. Especially since locate object has a 1000ft range so if you wait too long the thief/bad guy will get away. Divination and scrying seems more reliable to me. But I agree for other utility spells. The wizard does get many more spells known than they can actually prep, so choosing them is not as painful for a wizard as it is for spontaneous casters.
Sadly, there is not a good way, that I know of, for getting those circumstancial scrolls without DM buy-in. It does help later in the game when teleporting to major metropolitan areas is viable.
I'd probably say Bard is overall the best utility caster besides Wizard, as the Bard's Arcane Secrets gives you a limited spell selection from any class, starting at 10th level. A little late, but getting ANY 2 spells you want is pretty nice.
A pact of the tome genie warlock might be worth looking into. You get 3 cantrips more than normal, from any spell list you want. The Marid subtype gets lots of control spells added to their spell list, you get ritual casting, the Genie vessel can be a handy base or safe space for the party, and at higher levels you get limited wish and wish.
Mountain dwarves are indeed a strong selection with +2 Con +2 Str and poison resistance. However, everything else about their kit is pretty lack luster, being either covered by the class, or something that is unlikely to come up in a campaign.
The races I listed above have decent stats, but also bring something unique to the character. I mean, beside the humans/custom which trades extra abilities for feats.
Based on the actual article, I think I can clarify what they were trying to title this.

I haven't found a way to do so, natively but have seen a few people claiming that some Kbin phone apps will let you do so through the app itself.
Can't remember which ones though, as I am primarily a desktop user.
