One way would be the actual taxes paid on state, county, and municipal employee salaries. That’s going to represent a large source of federal taxes that the state could divert. I’m sure there are other taxes paid by the state that could be withheld.

I never knew! I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

An online chess with fog of war so you can only see adjacent tiles would be pretty hilarious. Could really turn an end game king chase into a “battleship” esque fiasco.

If you get paralyzed picking which story game to play next, maybe getting really picky about which ones make the list and then literally roll the dice or use an RNG generator to pick one. If they are all good, and your gameplay spread across a long time with work and kids, then any “mood” you are in, in the moment, will be averaged out over time. If you get into a game and find it really just isn’t for you, give yourself permission to move on.

In short, make the decision less consequential to avoid paralysis. That was my method anyway, being in similar situation with life time constraints.

Did you need to do any permitting?

Live mice would be pretty messed up.

Being an IT auditor is largely just working with spreadsheets, leverage your prior knowledge, and you are never on the hook for a feature release. If you are good at writing reports, spreadsheets, and meetings, you might give that a look.

I remember buying mistmare on cd back in 2003. That thing was a broken mess of a game that crashed constantly, and no returns once you open the seal. Kids these days don’t know what a 1/10 game really is, lol. That game was so bad most of the (short) Wikipedia page on it is about it’s low scores, including a 0/10.

I suspect the people are also confusing percentile, like for standardized tests, and top % like this site uses.

But yeah, real big “if those kids could read they’d be very upset” energy with these posts, lol.

I mean, they have drones with saws for cutting tree limbs now. When you have a big problem, start by cutting it into smaller individual problems…

So it depends on the spell, but I think you are talking about summon nature’s ally. That allows you to give instructions to creatures who can understand, and they will fight to the best of their ability, but as a DM I wouldn’t interpret the spell as written to include suicide.

But even then, a good DM doesn’t put a tarrasque into play and have it sit there and die. Once it realizes it is getting damaged and can’t retaliate, it can burrow from we whence it came, etc.

So I think most of the strategies involve weak roleplay from the DM, munchkin builds, liberties with the rules, or both.

Even then, actually killing the tarrasque requires a wish spell, which is not something that a 9th level druid can do.

Yeah, I ran campaigns from first through 3.5, never really played 4th or 5th. I’m curious how 3.5 tarrasque is easy to beat with anything other than broken munchkin builds from conflicting source materials that no sane DM would allow, or would be reserved for epic level campaigns. Like sure, when you get to a point where you can casually cast things like hellball, then things like the tarrasque might be easy. But at that point you will be doing the tango with the outer realm creatures and Demi gods.

Muscle mass burns more calories at rest but the effect is very slight. Eating back any calories from exercise will absolutely outweigh any slight change in base total energy expenditure.

Focus first of what you eat, then sustainable exercise, then specific tuning of both.

Like the other person said, getting the ratio and amount is more important than the source. But you should ask yourself why you are taking the supplement? Are you sure you’re not getting enough from your food? Your body can really only prices 20-40 grams of protein at once, so if you are loading up more than that at a time, you are just piking on calories.

Personally, depending on your current weight, you might think about focusing more on weight loss than bulking muscle mass. Absolutely work out of it is helpful, but don’t worry about mass gains while trying to lose fat. You will develop muscles regardless of whether you micromanage your protein intake or not, and you can optimize better after losing some fat.

But again, you need to check, with, and measure the calories in every portion of food until you develop an accurate read on the calories in things. Like peanut butter having about 100 calories per tablespoon (half ounce).

I’ve read through your comments, and highly suggest a food diary for at least a couple weeks ago you really understand the calories in things you are eating.

Yes, your body does modulate its resting metabolic rate over the long term based on things like average daily exertion, food, etc, but that is largely inconsequential to weight loss.

As a rough guideline, you want about 50% of your calories to be carbs, preferably the fiber or complex variety, 30-35% protein, and the rest fat. If you run a lot, then a few more carbs. If you lift weights a lot, then a little more protein.

Protein will help you feel fuller, longer, so I like to go my ratio of protein a bit.

Meals that I enjoy: steal cut oats and peanut butter, pan seared tofu with salad and a light dressing, bean chilli, tacos or tostados using those low carb tortillas, bowl of rice, refried beans, salsa, and guac, etc

But you really, really need to have a good understanding of portions and actual calories. Most people are way off.

Edit: also, some fasting cardio, like a good brisk walk or jog in the morning before eating anything can help accelerate things. But don’t fall into the trap of eating back the calories you burn.

One thing to keep in mind about how these vaults work, is you often unlock them and then they stay unlocked for a short period of time, like 5 minutes. So if you do compromise a system and can detect when it is unlocked, you have a decent window to programmatically extract credentials.

That said, it requires that your system has already been completely owned, pretty much. At that point, it could potentially log keystrokes and clipboard, and get credentials, including your master password.

Yeah, it sounds like the first exploit required your vault to be unlocked so that a malicious process pretending to be a legitimate integration like a browser plugin could request credentials, and the second one required installing an out of date version of the app.

Good that it is all patched, and that it wasn’t a remotely exploitable issue.

Things like mutual funds, IRAs, etc, are not considered securities and are not disclosed on economic interest disclosure forms. That is true for most government disclosures, including in Minnesota. Minnesota only requires disclosing directly held securities, like stocks, with a certain value. E.g., if you own $10,000 in Apple stock, that needs to be disclosed, but owning $10,000 in mutual funds shares does not.

There’s nothing more frustrating than a GS-12 whose just following rules.
