My kitchen doesn't have a vent to the outside, so I'd have to open windows to deal with any smoke or fumes from cooking. Since I got the air purifier it kicks in when I cook and cleans the air in minutes. I've also noticed improvements with my allergies since getting one.

It’s just so heartwarmingly cute.

Ah, they are talking about an inertial measuring unit. Basically, by measuring all acceleration you’ve experienced you can calculate your change in position. They can’t determine absolute position though, only relative, so this doesn’t so much replace GPS as assist it.

Paizo does have old style forums, maybe those would be a better resource?

My understanding is that a lot of the reasons for defederation stemmed from a fundamental lack of sufficient moderator tools. Tools that have not appeared and the lack of which has prompted Beehaw to consider moving to a different ActivityPub supporting platform in the fediverse.

And caffeine in the coffee would be listed in milligrams, but the alcohol in beer and spirits would be measured in percent and proof.

Weird. That bans most marches too. 120 bpm isn't all that fast.

Sincere apologies, I typed it correctly 2/3 times and messed up on number 3. Corrected.

You replied to jarfil with the words "this post", it isn't clear if "this post" refers to jarfil's comment or to the article itself. Also, the use of "You" leads the reader to imply that the "You" is jarfil, rather than "You" meaning 'anyone who tells someone to withhold their vote for a political stance'.

Dyson has over a thousand maps in a black and white line art style. Sly Flourish has a nice article on dungeon maps that has links to many map creators.

I follow the Bogleheads philosophy of investing and use the tenants of a Three-fund portfolio. I like the idea of riding the flows of the market at the lowest cost. Glancing at your list, you have some overlap between the total market and the various “cap” funds, and you don’t have any bond funds. So maybe add in some Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX) depending on how close you are to retirement.

More quality of life improvements. They are really automating away a lot of the tedium, but always making it optional so you still have full control.
