  • If you’re into tech and D&D, what about 3d printing? It’s techy, ties into D&D (printing minis, map elements, etc), and you can get into it for relatively cheap. A cheap resin 3d printer is like $200. You can use a water-washable resin to skip the harsh chemicals, and you can cure it in the sun, skipping a cure station. I have an Anycubic Phonto Mono, which was like $200, and prints some GORGEOUS minis.

    As you get deeper and more involved, you can upgrade to a wash & cure station, bigger printers, different resins, etc. You can start by printing other people’s designs, then as you learn more, start making and printing your own designs.



  • I can’t express in words just how much i despise LexisNexis. The English language lacks the expressiveness and nuance necessary.

    This dogshit organization knows everything about me. Every purchase I make; every account I have; any legal proceeding of any kind i’m involved in; every address or phone number i’ve ever had… the level of data mining, hoarding, and sale is absolutely dystopian. I can’t opt out. I can’t tell them to delete it. I can’t ask for a copy of it.

    Its the modern corporate equivalent of the schoolyard tattle tale, running to the teacher any time somebody farts.

    It gets when worse when states use the service to host their code of laws. Here in TN, the official version of the Tennessee Code Annotated, the official state law set, is on lexisnexis and i can’t read it without a crazy expensive subscription. Laws I am subject to i can’t read in the form they’re enforced from.

    How fucking absurd is that?
