I'd like to see someone a lot more creative than me come up with an alternative magazine about Maine rather than Down East. It could feature more of the Maine for us real Mainers and not geared toward touristy things that just seem mucky muck, at least to me. You know, real estate listings showing the country double wides instead of the million dollar coastal homes 😆. Instead of the high falooting Old Port restaurants, it could feature the local corner store where you can get a good pizza and a 6 pack of PBR.
Nova, PC, UConn, X, and Marquette. Followed by a very good Seton Hall, and solid Creighton team.
Imagine how good this conference could be if Georgetown ever returned to where they should be.

Hi,
My kids have been bugging me to play DnD with them for a while now. They used to play with their friends, but we moved and that's not happening anymore. So I picked up the DnD Essentials Kit thinking this would be a great place to start. Unfortunately, the more I read the books that came with the kit, the further I am from being able to run a game for them.
I'm very familiar with the ideas surrounding DnD, just not with the paper and dice versions. Grew up playing MUDs, Eye of the Beholder, and later Neverwinter Nights.
I've been researching the heck out of this, watched a bunch of Matthew Colville videos, been going through the sidebar here, but everything is more high level than I need and presumes you've at least played the game before DMing.
Really looking for something completely basic to help me wrap my head around this. It's the mechanics of the game that are holding me up. How do I do an Initiative Roll? When do I do an Initiative Roll? How do we travel around the country side?
Can anybody point me in the direction of DnD info that is so simple an old dad like me with the intelligence of a Troll could understand? Perhaps even videos of people actually playing the game that shows what's going on behind the DM screen? My google-fu is failing me on this front.
I see this woman all the time walking up and down Cambridge st with 4 large empty suitcases. The first time I saw her I asked if she needed help and she stared and snarled at me as though I had just insulted her. I always hear here mumbling stuff to herself. She’s also always dressed very nicely in business attire as though she’s on her way to a meeting. Also the suitcases are so large that she can only roll two at a time, so she will drag two of them about 20 feet, then go back and grab the other two, and continue on endlessly. A Cambridge cop told me one time that she used to be a successful lawyer and then just snapped one day. I was just curious if anyone else has noticed this woman and if there’s a story there. I always feel a bit bad when I see her because it doesn’t matter what the weather conditions are like, she’s always out there with her suitcases.
I have seen this happen to a lot of other servers over the last month, what came of it?
Does us-east-1 go down more than other regions, or is it just because we hear about it the most since it's the largest region?
From this blog post (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/what-to-consider-when-selecting-a-region-for-your-workloads/), they say all regions have the same SLA.
Last night I heard a loud sound that sounded like a thunder which is strange for this time of year and there was no storm. I checked my phone to see the time, 10:34pm, to see if anyone posted later. Now hundreds of people have commented on the local news saying they heard it but I typed in loud boom on Facebook and it seems that people over eight hundred miles away heard it in upstate New York and all the way to Boston. I looked up how far a sonic boom could be heard and “The width ends up being about one mile for each 1,000 feet of altitude, so an aircraft flying at 50,000 feet would produce a sonic boom cone about 50 miles wide.” An F-16 can only go up to 50,000 feet and New York is a whole lot further than 50 miles from South Carolina. I will include links to the screen shots.

UPDATE: Local news posted an article but still not any information on what it was. https://wpde.com/news/local/loud-boom-scares-worries-many-in-darlington-county?fbclid=IwAR2DMsTnE5cak-79fr5UqBfpEh1uxq1koc2grs0OI9Qpb9W5bpcNgTR52qY
I work at home taking customer calls for a national company. Everything is down. We can't take calls, use any of our software etc... Down detector is seeing mass reports of outages. Just an FYI
Due the fact that the South has horrifically increasing rent prices (for example, £850 a month for a tiny studio apartment), we're having to move up North, specifically to the Newcastle area! We have a couple villages to view but we're moving from a town with an almost 100k population to barely 3k.
What are things I should know about the people and the North as a whole before I move that could help me settle in and seem more approachable (as I know Southerners are known for being quite rude/cold).
Is the FS east site down for anyone else? Registration quiz is supposed to be in 15 minutes
