Ziggurat@jlai.luto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did the fighter/rogue/cleric/wizard core and its various iterations come from tournament play?3·1 day agoD&D comes from chain mail, a heroic fantasy miniature battle game inspired by naval miniature battle game. Hence the concept of character class (instead of boat class) and armour class (where the lower the better). But based on that, slowly the idea of playing a single character appeared and it turned into D&D and then early RPG
Modern RPG got (Somehow) rid of character class (even though some archetype/Playbooks are classes witha different name) and armour place. But D&D kept it by traditipn
Ziggurat@jlai.luto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How are people supposed to have secure/private communications in the digital era? (With Therapists/Psychaistrists, Lawyers, etc)6·2 days agoIt’s one of the thing where laws and audit can help a lot. Hospital (and lawyers) are supposed to secure their data. But nobody will care unless doctor loose their licence and hospital management get fired upon negligence with patient data.
Rolisteam is a FOSS (and self hosted) VTT. However, it hasn’t evolved much in the previous 15 years. It has all the main function (Shared white board, load map with fog of war and move token on-it, roll dices, chat) even has a character sheet manager.
But definitely not as fancy as a modern payware one
Do you know which kind of facilities you have at the camp place? There is hotel like camping with swimming pool, restaurant and even a night club. It’s just cheaper because you bring a tent.
And then there is roots camping with just a field where you can put your tent and a more or less clean shozer/toilet building. I ever saw place where you add to pay an extra for hot water ( A 5 € per night climber’ s camping)
Bring earplugs so your neighbour snoring won’t prevent you from sleeping and a red light so you don’t wake up everyone when you go peeing in the middle of the night.
And expect the morning to be cold

That said, economic have plenty of model whose accuracy go from not worse than rolling a dice to good enough to predict the consequences of policies before implementing them so they can do better

Actually, for a used car, I would recommend to look for a nasty but cosmetic scratch. It’s the kind of stuff which gets you a great discount while not impacting the mechanical performance.
Ziggurat@jlai.luto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point in getting married?English2·9 days agoDepends a lot on your personal situation, and jurisdiction.
-
Doing a ceremony when you publicly say you love each other is already a valid reason
-
In some jurisdiction, you’d get a form of tax benefit for being married, it often comes with downside like having welfare benefit based on the couple revenue rather than on individual ones (hence the tax benefit). Talk with an accountant/Tax-lawyer knowing your local laws for details
-
It gives a legal status to your shared asset. Sure you could create a real-estate-investment company to buy your house and many people do that but being married, with a proper prenup give you a lot of agency regarding your shared asset
-
It protects the weaker partner, usually the one scarifying their carrer for the couple if things goes wrong
-
No need for a big ceremony, you can get a notary to prepare the pre-nup contract, and do a ceremony at the townhall with 2 witnesses and done.

Ziggurat@jlai.luto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hello everyone new here, can anyone tell how this platform works?13·10 days agoIf you’re able to post here, you already know most about-it,
You subscribe to communities, post content, and comment-it, you can upvote the content and sometimes downvote it, as easy-as-it.
Regarding the federation, here is an explication for Mastodon but it also applies to here https://tilvids.com/w/887e7b95-a6b1-4df1-83fd-d5c47f17ec4c
What happens to the extra men in polygamous society ? If a Man has several wifes, it means many men end-up single.
Then there is the whole not allowed for Christians and may-be not allowed even before (I don’t think it was a common practice in Rome)
Smaller communities, feel like the reddit of early 2010’s
No ads, no IA training, no monetization of my user data
Prefer alternative solution
Usable mobile app
Reddit (and other prorprietary social media) is (are) great for the ever-lasting feed of new content, but something smaller is great too

I heard about wired torpedo but didn’t know it was also a thing for missiles
Reality is that there is a lot of difference between office jobs, mechanical designer, purchaser, corporate laws specialists, and let’s say project managers have very different jobs but still have office jobs.
Hour by hour? Read e-mail, browse lemmy, chat using teams (or slack), run to a meeting, then to another one, meet someone in the corridor and ask them a question about an ongoing project, realize that you need to review a report, open the file and get called, rfget a coffee, run to another meeting, conclude you won’t neither review the report X or nor start the report Y and call it a day.
Ziggurat@jlai.luto World News@lemmy.world•‘They cannot be jammed’: fibre optic drones pose new threat in UkraineEnglish543·11 days agoThis kind of idea is between genius and stupid.
It’s a cheap an easy solution to a lot of problem, and it sounds like the kind of proposal an intern would do
Unfortunately, in this economy, young graduate needing one year to find a job isn’t uncommon.
As usual,
how easily can you move, it’s easier as a 20 year old kid than as a middle aged parent with an employed spouse in a niche sector
Lookat various temporar/consulting agencies. It pays badly, isn’t a permanent position but any experience is better than no experience
-what about further training? A non professional bachelor, is usually too theoretical for employer, and when they want theoretical profile they are people with master degree
-What about government job, may be not a dream job, but with just a bachelor you’re eligible to middle management position, not fun to manage a team of civil servant in charges of dealing with whatever paperwork, but again, it’s a job.
