Considering that Tarantinos recklessness caused Uma Thurman to get injured on set, she probably still has a legitimate beef with him, and without her I dont see a Part 3 happening even though I do agree once should be made in a decade or two.


Yeah, I'd nail this down as a very likely reason its never happened. He had a huge crush on her (or her feet at least) but he got too pervy and she got creeped out. They'd need to recast her character and I doubt he wants to

EDIT: And to be clear, he didn't just get her injured on set. She had a damn car crash on set because he wanted her to do something stupid and risky for basically no pay off than because it got his rocks off

I think you guys are underestimating peoples ability to just stay home, which means down ballot dems get hurt too.

Few want to take this serious but a sizable number of people truly won't vote for someone who they view as committing/contributing to genocide. And what's done is done, too many kids have dies on Uncle Joe's watch to weapons stamped with the US logo for Joe to get my vote. Again my state has been red since 2016, or maybe even 2012, so my vote doesn't matter, I was just checking how shared our views were.

I understand some people love it but for me it doesn't even come close to matching the IRL tabletop experience. Some people would rather have bad D&D as no D&D though

I love hearing you guys discuss dnd. If only we could all be playing in a real group.


There was a CE 3.5e campaign at one point, plus several other games hosted on Gamefaqs. My ex girlfriend was one of the main DMs. It went on for a few years but slowly petered out. There's still a variety of forum games played (B8 has Mafia from time to time, the FF1 NES board runs a MUD style game, and I play in a different MUD style game on the Dragon Warrior 1 NES board) but I'm not aware of any active D&D games, sadly.

Invisibility requires V,S,M, but it lasts an hour.


Yeah but Time Stop duration doesn't really matter for Invisibility requirements, assuming you can do both. You'd still need to utter Za Waruda or whatever but then you could definitely cast Invisibility (or any other self buffs) while time was stopped and no one would notice. You get 12-30 seconds (so 2-5 actions, which can all be spells) that for everyone else happens effectively instantly. In 3e a hilarious use of this was to just dump 5 high level Summon spells and watch as your target got absolutely dogpiled once time kicked back in. Or 4 summons and an Invis so that they have no idea where all the adds came from. Sadly, with the way 5e handles concentration spells this no longer works, removing one of the few actual use-cases for Time Stop that can't be easier solved with Wish.

As soon as you touch him to put the shirt on, time unfreezes. Now you're on stage with Trump holding a BLM shirt, a rainbow hat, clown makeup, and big purple dildos. You live about 8 more seconds before the Secret Service guns you down.

https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/timeStop.htm


Even more hilarious is that the Teleport spell in 3e is only a level 5 spell compared to 7th level in 5e. Better spell AND lower level. Time stop in 3e is still kinda butts but at least you don't have to worry about the spell ending because you hip checked someone in a crowded store trying to grab the last Tickle Me Elmo on Black Friday

Oh yikes, didn't realize the 5E version was such garbage. 25% chance to fail teleporting to some place you visit literally every day with a 5% crit fail chance is just stupid. I mean, sure, I probably have an object from work/home on-hand at pretty much at all times, groceries from stores I go to, etc but 25% chance to fail without an additional material component is ridiculous for a 7th level spell slot. Magnificent Mansion is a spell slot of the same level at it lets you create a whole ass demiplane. Simulacrum and Resurrect are 7th level too.

Anyway, with that out of the way still Teleport at will. The regular ass practical uses for it are extremely high without even looking at exotic use cases. Commute from work to home is now instant as long as you keep a fucking ink pen from work or something handy because pretty much everything else on you will count as something from home (clothes, shoes, etc). Shopping is a similar bit. Keep a non-perishable can of food in your pantry as a key to the grocery store, a book to go to a book store (or possibly a whole ass mall or shopping center). etc. Visit distant friends by having them ship you a hand written letter from their home (and hope they're not pranksters). It won't eliminate the need for regular transportation but it will dramatically reduce your dependence on it and your time spent commuting.

More exotic use case: As everyone already figured out, open an instant travel/transport service. Fly to exotic destinations, buy souvenirs, then teleport people places for profit. Just remember to grab a new souvenir every few months. Ditto transporting stuff. Build a few 9'x9'x9' crates and send them anywhere you have a port key to. On the more criminal side, anything you can physically pick up gets to go home with you. Just grab shit and warp back home. Don't forget the item you just stole is now also a port key to go back wherever you stole it, so asking to try on a ring in a high end jewelry store and poofing out of existences can also get you back inside a few months later to loot whatever you can grab... If you're stupid enough to take that risk. All that said, if you've seen Breaking Bad keep in mind how Jesse was living in the last season. If word gets out you can ship anything, anywhere, in seconds you could find yourself in a situation where someone unscrupulous could absolutely put you in a position where either you're stuck doing their bidding or they kill everyone you've ever cared about.

Notes on Time Stop: The D&D version of this is basically worthless except in the exact context of setting up assassination attempts. You get up to 30 seconds to act while everything around you freezes. If you do anything to directly affect another creature the Time Stop ends. If you do anything to directly affect something another creature is touching Time Stop ends. You can grab/move unattended objects and the like but the use cases for this that don't also affect other creatures is extremely small. The spell basically exists in D&D to give wizards a few free rounds to set up weird shenanigans at the beginning of combat at the cost of their highest level spell slot, and in 5E nobody fucking uses it because why would you cast Time Stop for anything when Wish uses that same spell slot? In older editions, notably 3e, had much more generous rules for Time Stop (the spell didn't end if you nudged someone, it just had no effect so you could for example cast Polymorph on someone and it would take effect at the end of the Time Stop but Magic Missile would do nothing) AND you had more high level spell slots so the opportunity cost for casting something beside Meteor Swarm or Wish was not as high. The 5E version is just neutered past the point of usefulness.

Caterer here. I work hundreds of weddings a year for a decade now.

100% of the time all staff on site get a meal. We plan extra food into our cooking to feed on site chefs, servers, DJs, photographers, wedding planners, and anyone else who might be on site that day. On the extremely rare occasion that the couple in question do not want to feed staff we bite the bullet and eat the cost to feed staff regardless. Worst case scenario it costs us like $100 to build some good will with everyone working that day.

This was an insane failure on the couple's behalf. I understand not every company is as generous as we are but you absolutely should feed your staff. They're busting their asses to make your perfect day perfect and someone falling out at hour 5 of your reception because they didn't get to stop and eat is just stupid. If your budget is that tight you shouldn't be having a reception at all.

What will that do to the case?


Basically it will throw out everything Weisselberg testified to, so if there was anything he said that would have been a credit to Trump then the judge will not consider it in his ruling.

Which, to be fair, should change basically nothing. He probably comes down a bit more harshly on Trump than he was already going to for providing a witness who Trump knew was lying. Trump might get a bap on the head with a rolled up newspaper instead of a slap on the wrist
