You gave me flashbacks of the Peter Norton and John McAfee days!

The fact that this is Gene Wilder immediately gets my approval. The Tim Burton / Johnny Depp version of this comic just didn’t hit the same. 😑

The best DMs are the ones that can adapt and come up with stuff on the fly. The only guaranteed thing is that the players are idiots and will try and punch a NPC in the tavern on day 1… throwing your well planned story out the window.

Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn’t unheard of.

XInput is a solid standard (especially if you look at the state of gaming in the pre 2000’s) but it is in need of an update…

Check out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.

Not today and hopefully never for general forum purposes. Worse case, you get somebody that necros an old post akin to responding to an old email chain, or replying to an old forum thread. Usually not a big deal but sometimes it also sparks new discussions if that post/thread had some meaningful content.

Edit: Actually I think @[email protected] had the best idea. Would be a great option depending on the forum / poster’s need. There are some good reasons when you want to “mark a thread as closed”… like bug reports, project tasks, etc. But I feel the default behavior should be to keep post / threads open.

Hmm. I just checked and have no problems logging into amazon.co.jp from the US. I’m still presented with their international shipping options and currency conversion too… so I think you may have something going on with your browser.

Try the usual things like cleaning the cache or even a different browser.
