I just bought a house, and having someone to coordinate all the paperwork thoroughly and promptly was definitely valuable to me.

So they can have a little bacon, as a treat?

I've looked into 458 houses

There are many different minimum wage jobs out there. Speaking as an introvert who has had several of them, if small talk is that taxing for you then you should consider a job with less intrinsic social requirements.

Barista is also traditionally supplemented by tips, which are likely to suffer if you're wearing a pin that makes the customer feel like a burden.

Restaurants that switch away from tips frequently switch back. There was a big push about 10 years ago, and most have closed or switched back.

Customers, as a whole, just see menu prices go up and go someplace else; the customers who actually understand the trade-off are too few for that model to work most of the time. Additionally, the best staff jump ship to restaurants where they can maintain their income.

Fine dining is really the only place you can get away with it regularly. The employers didn't really have a choice if they want to stay open. The system is what it is, every customer who doesn't tip is giving themselves a discount at the expense of the staff which is a reasonable thing to be upset about. The only way to change the system is through regulatory legislation.

Latin has more rules, but they're more utilitarian than fancy. Latin rules are there to make sure you understand exactly what is being said. French rules are there to make everything elegant and confusing, like high fashion.

I just have some high school Latin from long ago, but if you parse "fancy" as "ornamental at the expense of utility", then I think it's a fair description.

They are in fact 3 things

"Objection!"

"Why?"

"Because it's devastating to my campaign"

That seems like a very roundabout way to say that in the present in the US, critical thinking leads you to not vote third party.

Bambu X1C Purge and Prime (sh.itjust.works)

I'm considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there's still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who's played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing waste?

Still pretty new to local LLMs, and there's been a lot of development since I dipped my toe in. Suffice to say I'm fairly swamped and looking for guidance to the right model for my use

I want to feed the model sourcebooks, so I can ask it game mechanic questions and it will respond with reasonable accuracy (including page references). I tried this with privateGPT a month or two back, and it kinda worked but it was slow and wonky. It seems like things are a bit cleaner now

Crunch Sweet Spot (sh.itjust.works)

Let's kick off some activity here with a question:

How much crunch do you, personally, like in your games?

Ultra Lite? Lite? Basic Set? Every book you can get your hands on?

Light on combat, heavy on skills? Vice-versa? Light overall with some aspects way more fleshed-out? Heavy overall with some aspects way more simplified? Are there specific mechanics you like to take full advantage of? Mechanics you like to gloss over?

No wrong answers, let's just get some discussion going
