My apartment patio is covered, so I have some tall jacks that hold the corners, I stapled across the top, and at the bottom I used velcro ties to hold the net to the gate.
I have built a few standalone catios as well. I usually use goat wire as I’ve had some issues with chicken wire before, staple it to whatever frame I’m using, and then add an exterior aesthetic frame to the outside to help hold everything in place and to look much nicer.
I have a family member with four medium sized dogs. Their house is very well kept and clean. But the couch smells so bad. It’s just dog. Dog all day. Ugh
Vietnam. Brazil. Ecuador. A lot of equatorial places.
The orange color is caused by something happening to the chlorophyll when the temperatures cool. But in the tropics, temps can be fairly steadily warm and don’t trigger that reaction.
But aren’t oranges actually green?
*Not a joke, btw. Oranges grown in tropical places are green.
I’m also on the ADHD bus for later diagnosis.
Also diagnosed later was trichotillomania. Because apparently pulling out your eyebrow hairs, arm hair, and eyelashes, among many other things, obsessively is just a teen girl/young woman beauty standard thing.
As a GM, I keep my laptop with me. I don’t usually have a DM screen up, so the laptop serves many purposes to that end. I don’t think I could run a game from only a tablet, personally, and I could never run from just pen and paper.
For my players, I prefer they don’t have a laptop, but tablets are totally fine. For the same reasons another commenter mentioned about being readily there at the table.
For DnD, there are a billion options for online character sheets. I prefer they use their paper sheets if possible - I feel like it keeps you more in tune with your numbers. But I definitely understand having spells or items or abilities separate. They’re so wordy and there’s so little space to write them down.
For Pathfinder 2e, I’m all for ditching the paper sheet and using something easier. It’s not too awful in the beginning, but the quick math needed to do “I rolled a thirteen, plus four for expert proficiency, plus eight for our level, plus one for guidance, minus two for sickened, minus four for MAP. That is… Uhhh… Wait, I gotta start over.” Pathbuilder or just opening a Foundry character sheet on your phone or tablet is so much easier.
Oh absolutely.
If I’m writing, my face usually contorts to the part I’m on. If a character is sleepy, I yawn, if they’re mad, I snarl, if they’re sad, I’ll pout.
Otherwise, often my intrusive thoughts win. To be fair, my anxiety meds sometimes kick up and “activate” as my psych calls it, which makes me entirely manic and unable to hold onto that impulse control.
When I was younger, I believed that if a woman was raped, it was her fault for what she was wearing. My highschool friends called me the most unempathetic person they’d ever met and I was proud of that.
Thankfully I’ve turned right around on all that and learned empathy. I’m ashamed for my younger self, but I know they were just doing the best they could with the very few tools they were given.
Fuck you and fuck this
It takes a lot to make a stew
A pinch of salt and laughter too
A scoop of kids to add the spice
A dash of love to make it nice
And you’ve got…
Too many cooks
KABLAM was the shit. Prometheus and Bob have always been some of my favorite short skits.
I think that might be part of it. For a lot of people, it was that the formula was old and tired. I know Odyssey did fairly well, but it’s still just an AC game
Discovery Zone!! What a huge nostalgia trip
My dad is a master mason and can’t find anyone at all who wants to do the job. It’s hard, hard work. Unfortunately, it seems like he’s going to have to retire with no apprentices to carry on all his incredible knowledge.
My dad liked to use Weedeater as a sort of verb. To Weedeap. So he’d love to say he was going outside to weedeap the knee deep weeds.
I don’t have a link, sorry, but I know there’s a YouTube channel called “Dad, how do I…?” And it’s a lot of basic adult things. Such as change a tire, check your oil, resumes, tie a tie, things like that.
I don’t know if it’s long form, but I agree with you that videos are preferred for learning and disagree with the person saying Rule 1 for adulting is reading.
Juggle. I’m by no means a master, but I know my way around quite a few different juggling things. Balls, sticks, hoops, the two sticks you hold with the longer one you juggle in the middle, diabolos/Chinese yo-yos.
This is my best friend who I’m going to propose to soon.
The sturdiness was an issue because my cats could bend it easily. Also the smaller gauge of the wire meant that they were chewing on it at times.
My biggest issue is that my boy got his paw stuck after reaching through to try and get a bug or something and hurt himself pretty bad after freaking out.
Goat wire is typically higher gauge, sturdier, and the holes are bigger but definitely not big enough to escape through.
