Botname checks out.

That’s … actually a pretty good pitch. I think I would also split the character in combat to avoid having one player be idle for several hours or even sessions in case a very long boss fight happens.

Splittermond, a German RPG, has a culture of arctic viking dwarves. It’s perfect.

You might want to explain the joke, I thought you were just an arse before reading the replies :D

Well, I am no expert on the topic, but I guess it could be used to justify some action?

It matters, just not in as much as one might hope. It is mostly a symbolic step, true, because no one will arrest a sitting president. But it shows that the court is observing and condemning the actions. Think of what might come after: Trump couldn’t enter quite a few countries without fear of arrest once he is no longer president. Same with Putin, or Netanyahu. It makes international action so much easier if you can just say “well, there is a warrant out for you, so you better not show up”. Become a refugee? Better not go to a country that might uphold the warrant. Regime change in your current country of residence? Better think fast, the new administration might just need a reason to take you in.

Folks, this was a year ago.

Well, maybe not a moratorium, but I certainly would appreciate some peace and quiet.

Hm, would you burn oil to fight climate change? Fell trees to advertise for forest preservation?

It’s the age old question of whether the ends do justify the means.

Because expunging an endemic disease is a hell of a lot of effort. Zero Covid didn’t work (ask Winnie the Pooh), so most efforts were undertaken instead to weather the large amount of simultaneous harsh cases where patients required a ventilator and constant medical attention.

Would it be possible? Probably, but do you really want to convince Billions of people worldwide to regularly buy and use tests, masks and to distance where possible for a few years? I mean, I’m in Biotech, I’d live a fulfilled live employment-wise - if I don’t get gunned down due to political violence that would ensue.

Serious question, I don’t mean to offend (at least not yet ;) ) - do you only ever play DnD? Because this community is called RPGmemes and I rarely (if ever) see anything but DnD.

EDIT: It’s not thermocyclers.

I’m guessing it might be thermocyclers, I.e. PCR-machines.

You still need some consumables (esp. the proper primers), but the machine is entirely reusable. However, it is also a fairly basic and it sounds unlikely that Putler had a lack of thermocyclers.

That took a while. Thank you, I love the puns!

How is mainstream media?
