This wall thing is such a farce, it brings to mind the "sharks with laser beams on their head" thing from Austin Powers. "What do we have?" "...sea bass."

The procedural moment was a blip and even then most of the thread expected the predictable flips to flip. I'm sorry you're scared. And I'm even more sorry you're using your fear as an excuse to be lovely to someone else. Happy holidays.

VitalSigns posted:I do that all the time, if someone clarifies what they mean and I took it the wrong way. As grating as Vitalsigns is sometimes to me personally, he has admitted to misinterpreted my posts multiple times and apologized for it. I don't always agree with what he says, but if he miscaracterizes what you say and you call him on it, he does admit it. Then again I am an immigrant to D&D and have only just received my Green Card... On that note. It is almost Christmas goons. For the last 30+ pages y'all have been ripping each other new assholes and in general being a bunch of misanthropic malcontents. Would it kill yall to show a little more compassion and love for your fellow goons? Let's check our egos at the door and stop tearing people down when they ask questions because holy poo poo, this administration does enough of that all by itself. I love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas.

Why not just a moat of lava? That way we don't even need to man it, because convection will roast the perfidious foreigners before they even get close to the border.

Tayter Swift posted:So, uh two things. Not even that. If they're not fixed at all near the top then you can probably just slot a hydraulic press or jack between the slats and push them apart. A basic 1000lb jack stuck about halfway up the (seemingly 11ish meter) steel slats would be able to separate them about an inch and a half apart further at the top and tapering down. You can play around with more numbers here: https://www.amesweb.info/StructuralBeamDeflection/CantileverBeamConcentratedLoad.aspx A $20 purchase at Harbor Freight can defeat this loving thing, and you don't even need a particularly tall ladder. Hell, putting one at about 2 meter from the base still get's you almost another quarter inch on the 10 or so inches that seem to be there.

Trying to think about this in pragmatic terms I now get why walls in fantsy novels are always magical, which reminds me, do we have any wizards we can consult because I think a magical wall might be the best way of going about thisCrain posted:Not even that. If they're not fixed at all near the top then you can probably just slot a hydraulic press or jack between the slats and push them apart.

Only 'cause a few people asked: I buy food in bulk, that is how I spend very little on groceries. We prepare all of our meals at home. We do not buy prepackaged foods. The most expensive thing we get is organic, free-range eggs, and we get them once a month. If anyone is interested, for some reason, in scrutinizing my menu, please PM me. No, I am not dying of hunger. I just buy the same things a lot so I always know how much money I am going to spend at the store. Not every family can live like that, it's just how mine gets by.

Was he just gonna leave all those until after Christmas if this didn't happen?
