It's behind a paywall

Even more aggregious is the EU's audacity to declare that tech companies must be horizontally integrated. What's next, are they going to go after Nintendo?

I know right? Paying $5/year for a hobby that I get tons of enjoyment out of is ridiculous. How dare they make money off of their work!

As an Apple fan, I do not want what these governments are pushing. Apple is vertically integrated. As a consumer, I like that. So is Nintendo, and your favorite car company, etc.

We don't need to use the law to force Apple to horizontally integrate. If Apple's charging too much, just say so and force them to lower it.

I'm just here to say that bards are awesome.

If you go with Bard, eloquence is the power build, but Valor might be more syngergistic if you still want to get in melee. You get medium armor proficiency, shields, all the spell casting goodness of bard, plus extra attack at level 6.

how does bg3 play on a non-pro/max machine? Is it doable?

Citation needed.

This strategy is only okay until you reach act 3, and then it gets crazy powerful with all the items that bump your spell save DC up.

Thanks for the links! I enjoyed reading about how iMessage is built on top of APN. That probably explains why I can reply to messages in arbitrary apps on my Apple Watch. :-)

However, that doesn't change my argument. Beeper is not a trusted party in this exchange. When they show my messages to their users, they are decrypting my messages and user activity in a way that is outside my zone of trust. They can then be nice and show it to their users in their app, or they can be nefarious and send that data to any other 3rd party for whatever purposes they want.

This is a major security hole at the application layer, despite the network layer security that you've linked to.

That's not what they're doing. They're using Apple's version for free. They're also encouring their users to violate their terms of service agreements with Apple en-masse.

 

Hey everyone, I'm running a campaign and we just hit level 5. It's a Faerun setting, and with regards the Conjure Animals spell, what are some fair choices? I want to avoid 8 velociraptors and other encounter breaking options.

What are some good mid-level choices that feel good for the player but don't break the game? How does everyone handle this spell?
