It can slow things down, but once the light hits the curtain, the energy has gotten in, where it might dissipate slower, but it is still going to dissipate into the rest of the space.

Reflective curtains can do wonders, bouncing most of the light back out, mind. The advantage of reflective tint, though is that some of the absorbed light heats the window itself and passes that heat back out.

window binds still let the light into the house where the energy then turns to heat.

Heat-reducing window-tint on the other hand is pretty easy to install.

honestly, on the outside, the yoghurt probably isn't a particularly durable layer (i.e. going away after the first rain,) and probably gets to smelling funky. On the inside, it's probably going to also smell funky.

There was that time when someone broke his knuckles and wired his jaw shut so he couldn’t talk or tweet.

Wait. That’s just a fantasy I have.

oh. glad I don't have get someone knocked up and name the kid "YetAnotherJackass."

how's she feel about cats?

or maybe she's more into doggos?

there's also the 15 minute dnd set, which are a few oneshots in 15 minutes; more of your 'normal' dnd. has he advantage of being broken up.

You're looking for a oneshot. (a dnd campaing meant to be short and completed in a single session.) The joy of oneshots is that your players are usually not particularly attached to the characters, so a TPK won't necessarily piss everyone off, and you can ramp the difficulty some.

plenty of sources for free (and not free,) oneshots in a variety of the usual places.

DMsGuild has plenty that are free, or 'pay what you want' as a tip, if you feel so inclined.

"Jackass, who was the son of Some Jackass, who was the son of Another Jackass, who was the son of...."

wth am I supposed to do with that?

life, uh, finds a way.

when a silver loaf and gold loaf love each other very much, do they make a whole lot of electrum loaves?

dad's have perfected the anti-joke. I'm merely an uncle, though, so I struggle through it.

sounds like New Orleans needs more Cowbell.

saw that little tyke the other day chilling in our grass.

Yup. the best part about using the PET from left over PET containers is that it's already food safe. you could, if you really wanted to, buy some sheets of amazon, but why bother.

also, for the large cup things... there are other things where this trick is useful... like... making pudding cups... :P Most berry containers will have enough of a flat spot you can cut out for a decent sized cup. (especially if you shop at costco or whatever wholesale club, lol.)

it's funny.

"jesus" (yeshua?) was a fairly common name. so was "joseph". It'd be like a millenial named Michael naming their kid Brayden.

There was probably a dozen of them in that part of the world. There might have been a dozen of them in nazareth, even.

And, to be perfectly honest, faith healing/mystic scams were super common. usually they got knifed in the street or on the road, but the romans were getting pretty tired of all the dead bodies left lying around. (It was untidy. romans were a tidy people. /s. they just wanted to be the ones with the authority.)

it's really not just christians in america. Christians were removed from the basics of the faith pretty quickly. It's why the second coming got slapped in there- all those unfullfilled messianic prophecies. Don't worry, he'll do the war-thing when he gets back. he just ran off for some milk.

I knew one lady who was having a psychotic break who looked at me and was like "Can I use this {pointing at the desk phone} The voices in my head say I'm having a panic attack."

So, like. THOSE voices are okay. (she was having some sorta something and needed help, so it's like "uh. sure. This is our address and, uh, let them know a security guard will guide them in." (I was said security guard.)

She got her help. Hope she's okay.

I mean, I didn't see your link to the video lower down, so, it was one of those, "AHAH!" and then... I finished reading and was like... "Ooops". I can be like that some times, lol

still, it really is a fun gag, and not particularly hard to pull off. For making dividers, I'd suggest getting some type of PET sheeting- unless you're rocking a giant cup, you can use the plastic containers with berries and fruits from the store. It's reasonably durable, but like, also dirt cheap, so.

reminds me of hot and cold coffee (EDIT, hah. I didn't read far enough.)

it's a fun gag to pull when you have guests over.

I feel like it’s weird to talk about kids learning hygiene or bathing or grooming at work is weird.

But super important to actually teach your kid- and id put this in that category.

and bacon scraps!
