Only during events, but yes. Well, one saint candle thingy and the others are just lights. See edit.

It would be a very fair reaction to a two year old cat, though.

I have a shrine to Paul Walker in my basement. (Not a joke.)

Confidently approaches lone damsel
My last 5e character was a half aquatic elf, rogue warlock. He was a pirate, so think Cervantes from Soul Calibur.

Skip Hobby Lobby since their health care doesn’t include abortions.

Hey, my wife and I noticed you from across the canvas and just really like your vibe.

Well, no, there’s nothing wrong with the definition of berry, but there would be something wrong about a botanist being annoyed with someone using the colloquial definition of berry.

- Comment on ... 4 days ago:
Pure objective truths exist, but humans are not objective creatures so our process of finding those objective truths is flawed at times.
- Comment on ... 4 days ago:
No True Scotsman argument sort of.
Now, I’m not saying we ignore science or throw it out, but there are flaws.

It’s been a thing for quite a while.
- Comment on Anon is unpopular in high school 6 days ago:
Literally everyone has a soul, stop feeding into this false dichotomy of popular kids versus nerds.
- Comment on What do you call your first cousin's child? 1 week ago:
Your first cousin’s child is your first cousin once removed. The only reason anyone calls it anything else is because the terminology is confusing and they misunderstand it. Your child and your first cousin’s child will be second cousins.

I don’t even get why people buy pets. The shelter has plenty who need a good home and will love you the same.

I should trust Zoidberg more than Dr. Phil?

Oh nice, thanks for sharing that project. I haven’t heard of it before!
- Comment on Publishers Always Innovating 1 week ago:
That’s really cool! What I really would like is a tool that converts PDFs to semantic HTML files. I took a peek there and it seems easier for them because they have the original LeX source.
I think for arbitrary PDFs files the information just isn’t there. I’ve looked into it a bit and it’s sort of all over. A tool called pdf2htmlex is pretty good but it makes the HTML look exactly like the PDF.

HamStudy.org is what I used. What’s useful is that it’s sort of like a wiki. People can write why the answers are right/wrong.
I remembered some of the science stuff from school so the hardest parts for me were learning some of the vocabulary.
All in all it’s fairly easy to pass with some prep. The worst parts were finding when I could rest and waiting for my license after I did lol.
- Comment on BlueSky has been knocked offline by an exodus from Twitter 1 week ago:
Like Reddit, the only reason I’m still on Twitter from time to time is niche hobbies that don’t have critical mass on the fediverse yet.
- Comment on Publishers Always Innovating 1 week ago:
Oh boy, I sure am excited to websites hosting PDFs! I love when the tool that everyone uses for hosting and viewing HTML get to be blessed with the perfect format that is PDF!
I LOVE PDFS! I love two column PDFs! I love reading like this!
1 3
2 4
5 7
6 8Instead of like this
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8It’s amazing and such a good user experience!
I love that PDFs are so difficult to transform into HTML, too. I would never want the besmirch the publishers oerfect one approved layout by resizing the window!
- Comment on Anon plays shirts vs skins 1 week ago:
I know the concept but we never did this in school, but I never took PE more than was required so it’s possible I just missed it or didn’t see. It could’ve been a thing in highschool.
- Comment on Through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Amateur Radio Triumphs When All Else Fails 1 week ago:
If you’re interested then do it now! Because it takes a bit and it’s frustrating.

I’m aware, it was just the first English name and Spanish word I could think of that sounded similar for the example.

- Comment on Tough Shit 1 week ago:
My friend poops once a week. He claims he told his doctor and they said it’s “on the edge of normal.” It freaks me out though. I’d feel so bloated all the time.

They were a big fan of Silence.
- Comment on Asian Beauty 1 week ago:
So the characters are still words, right? As in not phonetics? Would it be like someone named Tristan getting the Spanish word Triste because it sounds like Tristan?
