  @fabio And this is why I stay in California; the rest of the US is one giant "flyover" country until I get to the EU.

  @karlauerbach@sfba.social Modern evangelicals are not christians, they are flat-out heretics. (Which can also be applied to historical Calvinism in the US.)

  @cdarwin@c.im This part: "SB 54 was signed into law on October 5, 2017 and went into effect January 1, 2018." The Feds can go suck rocks.

  @deinol@dice.camp I just received the "large map" portion of a Kickstarter I backed. The books that go with them are on the way. The price was not too bad, until the shipping was added on (about ⅓ of the total amount). On the other hand, It goes to supporting an individual game developer, not a big company.

  @fosserytech@social.linux.pizza How about anti-X? It doesn't use systemd, and works on lots of older computers.

  @cybergoths@dice.camp Mongoose Traveller 2e (revised) is more legible, but I am unwilling to invest more money collecting yet another version. The groups I play in use either the CT or Mong. 1e ruleset. @deinol@dice.camp

  @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it I know it is possible, but I would rather not haul feed sacks on any kind of bicycle on my local roads. It may work on level roads, but not here. Our roads are heavily traveled, 2 lane mountain roads, have 55 mph speed limits, along with tourists (who can't drive) and trucks. It just not my idea of a safe ride on any day. Plus it is 10 miles to the town. (Cars are not even safe, I had a deer jump in front of my car twice here, for $$$$ repair costs.) My solut...

  @IveyJanette@mastodon.social So they take a page from Denmark, and send a list of the entire faculty, staff and students. "I am Spartacus."

  @deinol@dice.camp Hear, hear. I am still playing #Traveller with the Classic rules, or Mongoose 1e (basically CT, amended). I want nothing to do with 5e, or its rules. The closest thing I will play is RuneQuest (1e or Glorantha)

  @kimlockhartga@beige.party We had ±50 people attending, from a population of about 2000 (spread out in the hills). Mostly older, even some Vietnam vets.

  Went to my local #nokings gathering, waved my sign and chatted with the others there. We were alongside a "major" highway, and the response was mostly positive. The few negative reactions were from a totally predictable demographic: White, male, 30-50, driving pickup trucks or Jeeps. I cheerfully flipped them off. So come at me, bro. When did your ancestors get here? 'Cause mine arrived early enough that I qualify for the DAR. Take 1632 and stuff it.

  @GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @elfin@mstdn.social I have a harness and leash for a chicken. Yes, someone makes harnesses specifically for chickens. I put it on Bonny, the 9 year old hen(!), when I travel with her. I usually take her for "walkies" at rest stops, and introduce her to the people there. She is well cared for, and sleeps inside in a box on a heating pad.

  @IveyJanette@mastodon.social @AnnaAnthro@mastodon.social And Persian women do not wear burkas. If they wear a "covering" it is a chador; a half circle cape that goes on the head, and drapes around the body. It does not cover the face. Most are black, but for the more creative, floral material might be used. Ask me how I know this... Tehran American School, 1970-71 school year. Some of my step-family still live there. I hope they are ok.

  @fosserytech@social.linux.pizza @leadore@sunny.garden This assumes that everyone is using a new computer. Some of us use Linux in order to save money/the environment by reusing old computers.
