Death has seen way worse, if my stint as a paramedic is anything to go by.

Patently false. I'm introverted and made plenty of friends myself. You just wait in a corner of the party and see who comes and joins you without a word for half an hour.

I'm 40+ and still love spinners :)

There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that's the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you'll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

I've found people mostly very helpful and courteous.

Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

Wizard: I'm not keeping cash, I'm buying paper and ink and scrolls with it.

Being a wizard is super expensive.

I'm sorry, this is all just a big misunderstanding. When the Risa mods said "no rules', they meant for themselves. Not for the rest of us.

Hope that clears it all up.

My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).

The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.

Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.

It's high time we replaced Philosoraptor with Sarcastiopteryx.

It's funny that this is common sense, but attacking in anger/revenge without a considered plan is still a common staple in history.

It's a low bar to make the California flag better, but I woke up and decided to give it a go. It's my first attempt. Let me know what you think

I watched the whole video. AMA

Most of the others do, so it must be something small.

I posted this to Reddit a few years ago.

I followed Paul Sellers' method, but used a 2x3 Douglas fir for the material. It turned out quite heavy and durable.
