Yeah, my son convinced me to try having one monitor vertical. His (Windows 10) is close to right, but dragging a window across the gap and you have 2 different size windows. Compared to my computer (LMDE) and it is truly scaled correctly, the window is the same size on any monitor and while travelling between them.

Still not sure how I feel about a vertical monitor though, it's great for documentation but just feels so unnatural.

They'd just be looking at the palm rest for me. Laptop is closed and under the monitor stand, having it open just makes Window's show how well it does desktop scaling.

Well there was that one part where he turned off his laptop after (not wanting to drop what he did here as the article was pulled), but I could totally see a company freaking out and going nuclear. That being said, I'm just looking through the FreedomGoggles that recently saw a "hacker" using F12 to compromise a bunch of teacher data. You know, their important sensitive data that was definitely not sent to their device where it could be seen by right clicking and hitting view source.

I liked to play where if my players tricked me, well they got me, we'll adjust and keep going. They always realized that I may ask a similar question to them though, and it could always go the same way.

In this specific case, I'd let it happen and they'd probably going on an adventure for a wish in the next session (depending on how important the NPC is to the story, they might need to have him as a humanoid). Just like if you have an asshole paladin, they might find themself trying to atone to get back their favor with the gods.

Haven't played since 2e... Polymorph should have been a way higher level spell with how it was written. Mice fail saving throws constantly... Super useful to derail a campaign.

It was originally a joke I found online, after reading through the list it honestly just feels like I want a simpler life one day. The site isn't mine but it came up when I searched for a couple items from the list (like "Goats security is checking the fence, not sitting in a room listening to someone for hours.")

I have one plan for retirement, goat farming. I go over that old list of reasons every few years just to remind myself there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Its painful sometimes, but good to know I'm not the only one questioning my sanity.

I want so much to ditch my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a truck (I drive to work once a week but pull a camper on the weekends), sadly a lot of them might not fit in my 1970's garage.

I think mine might be that old, Sony PRS-505. It's still in great shape with decent battery life (though the cover is massively flaking).

I'd say it depends, do you believe that you could live as a vegan? Not everyone can, and nothing is wrong with that. I view some animals as yummy and others as not, I've never tried eating an oat tree, but I'll tear up some carrots.

I like the idea that consciousness is experienced by all living things and am totally okay with a certain amount of it ending during the natural progression of my life.

Define "freeloading" for me. They don't have access to big social services (TANF, SSI, etc) due to not having documentation, roads are funded through fuel taxes as far as I'm aware (so if they're pumping gas, they're paying for the roads), dog parks are usually paid out of local sales tax (again, only as far as I know, I live in GA and we're a fucked up state a lot of times).

Income tax is a big one, but not on a small scale (like municipal level)... Hell, I haven't ever had a local income tax that I can remember.
