Heh, as soon as I noticed your "Like" on my post, I remembered what you had written a while ago about fingerprints.

I don't wear jewelry either, and for the same reason. My wedding ring is a plain platinum band, and instead of a stone my spouse and I had each others' fingerprints engraved into them. Sort of like this: (photo from Etsy. No way am I going to post a picture of our fingerprints on the Internet.)

You can explain yourself perfectly, outline your point of view and present your evidence and everything, and you can do it so well that everyone in your audience fully grasps your intended message--and they can still disagree with you. And that's okay. You're not going to be happy until you...

I thought I was being genuinely helpful. I mean, I'd hate for someone to quit their well-paying job, spend all their savings on farmland and a tractor, and have it be all for naught. (At least I didn't say anything about Tom Cruise, or the gun he's wearing in that photo...)

One of the worst misconceptions I deal with in my line of work involves fossil fueled power plants. The assumption is that coal or natural gas is better because it doesn't use any of the huge batteries, expensive electrical systems, or complicated computers that other, more sustainable power...

My favorite is the nuckelavee. D&D interpretations have never done it justice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuckelavee

I can't imagine a doctor ever hating vinegar or turmeric. Unless you overdose on it and give yourself kidney stones, anyway. But even then, you will be the one who hates that "one weird trick." Your doctor might be annoyed, but she will just shake her head and refer you to a urologist.

I guess the implication is that they don't show up and don't cancel the appointment? I just saw it on Reddit and chuckled.

"Doctors hate this one weird trick!" The weird trick: not cancelling your appointment.

I think if you truly never want to touch a computer again in your life, you could find a job that would fit the bill. Probably not in agriculture, but maybe some parts of the service industry?

My uncles are both farmers and um, I've got some bad news for you: there's a lot of computers involved in agriculture nowadays. GPS-monitored tractors to delineate the fields, remote-operated irrigation pumps, solar data and soil moisture monitors...fertilizer dosing...water quality monitoring...

I've really gotten into this myself over the past year. HeroForge has the option to download STL files, so I can turn a handful of files into a whole army. 3D printers have gotten a lot more reasonable in price (and faster, too.)

I love skill-based systems. Class-based systems have their charms too, I'm not hating on them or anything...I just think skill-based systems are a little more elegant and streamlined. Especially for players who try to multiclass.
