I thought I knew everything about Excel, but just last week I learned that it now has TypeScript integration for macros. I nearly wept tears of joy. Finally I can leave behind VBA.

Please forget LaTeX. Please let us adopt a more modern alternative that isn’t absolutely painful to use.

I’m all for blocking intrusive ads, but so far CivitAI’s are pretty normal. Why not support one of the biggest sites that’s helping this community thrive?

Rounded corners like this makes me think that you have Klipper’s Resonance Compensation feature overtuned, but you’d have to really be trying to get it this bad. What printer and firmware are you using?

Looks great! I use a similar system in my Obsidian notebook for my campaign. You might consider connecting it to the Stable Horde for text and image generation instead of ChatGPT. It’s a bit more complicated, but totally free.

As a GM, basically any artificer / inventor. They only fit into very specific settings, so they’re very out of place in most games. If the system has light rules for inventions, the player thinks they can create anything, and I have to constantly fight them to stop trying to one-up the other characters. If the system has robust invention rules, these characters don’t generally get to invent anything since so much downtime and resources are required.

Isn’t this exactly what Pressure Advance does?

Especially with AI now becoming more mainstream and getting new developments every week or month. Didn’t check the right blog/newspost? The workflow you’re using is now outdated and slow.

Saint Oniisan is about as Christian as you can get.

This looks like the opposite of friendly to me. Is it supposed to be targeted towards cloud computing or web apps? I don’t really understand what its ideal use case is.

Every job will have some sort of crunch time. Even just staying in a programming position, the definition of “crunch time” will vary wildly. I’m lucky enough that “crunch time” just means that I set aside all my other tasks until I fix whatever is on fire, but I still get to go home on time unless I really want the overtime pay.

I don’t envy positions with forced 80-hour workweek crunch times. That’s a sign of bad management.

The greatest thing about episodes like Takeaway and Sticky Gecko is that they show how chaotic kids are in real time. I could keep up if they would space out all these little crises, but kids will easily throw ten different problems at you in the span of minutes.
