Also Bittencourt and Heintz have a buy-out clause. The article doesn't state how much it is.

I'd like to learn about Horn Clauses (and the subject that encompasses them), but I'm not sure what subject it would fall under. Discrete mathematics?

The concept of an 'adventurer's guild' appears commonly in fantasy fiction. These are adventurous factions that a party (or possibly a single character) might work for or join.

Order of the Sword.

The Order of the Sword is an ancient adventurer's guild. They took their name from the distinction between soldier and roving warrior, because soldiers would fight in masses with spears or bows, but adventurers used swords, for they didn't have the numbers for spear-walls.^(1) Their symbol is simply a downwards-pointing red sword.

The guild hall of the Order of the Sword is a humble stone tower. It began its life long ago as the corner of a fortress, the fortress got knocked down, the tower built up as a watchtower, abandoned, converted to a chapel, abandoned again, cleared out as a way-house and traveler's rest, and from there it was purchased by Darthiurk of Elmlock. Darthiurk was a member of the Order of the Sword, and he expanded the premises to be able to house many more travelers. The next manager of the facility, Cuetom of Szkenis, added storehouses, a hospital and shops for merchants to sell in. Today, the small compound is known as Fort Sword.

The Order of the Sword's primary concern for its affiliates is ensuring that they are bringing in money. They are practical-minded and know that gratitude does not pay many bills. But on the other hand, ravaging monsters and raiders tend to have plenty of spoils to take. The Order of the Sword buys recovered jewelry and items from their adventurers and sells them off in bulk to the firm of Jodbhu "Jod" Moksab, a dwarvish merchant and gentleman, who sells them again. They also deal in real estate, because they claim lairs and haunts that their adventurers clear out and sell them out, but this makes them less money than the merchandise scheme.

The current master of the Order of the Sword is Vabikav "Kav" Orlowe, 45, a tabaxi swordsman:

• Reputation: A cunning combatant and smart enough to find smart people to handle things for him.
• What he says: As master of the Order, he must keep the coffers, larders and armories full.
• What he doesn't say: He has a terrible case of impostor syndrome and is constantly doubting his own decisions, which is why he relies on hiring experienced advisors and assessors.
• What he hides: He feels he wasted his youth adventuring. He could have been learning a real trade, or founding a family- now he's a one-eyed, worg-bitten bachelor saddled with running the Order.

“Hello, Chivos? … Hey, some crazy shit went down and I want to go over it with you. Can I come down there, urgently? … Great, when’s the next inward tele-pulse? … Yeah I can kill some time until you’re open. Probably visit a friend or something. I’ll give you a call when I know more. … Oh yeah, good reminder, I’ll be sure to wear it. Thanks, love ya, hun.”

I hung up the stones with a snicker, then rolled over in bed to scritch Varia. “Hey girl, you wanna join me for a little day trip back home?”

She bounced her little ferret body up and down excitedly, which was honestly so cute. The scheduled tele-pulse was in a bit over an hour, so I had some time to kill… kinda. After a nice shave, I went into the front hall where Pokle had kindly stacked a few deliveries while I was gone. I picked out the one most likely to be what I wanted and opened it up. There was a white, opera-ish full-face mask, two gloves, and a choker necklace. I put the whole ensemble on and felt the enchantment kick in as I went to feed Grif.

He was happy in his nest of blankets and shredded paper (emulating nest #1). I fed him some frozen-thawed mice from the icebox and topped his water off before giving him some pets. He didn’t even notice the mask or gloves, which meant it was working. I made sure to talk lots in the process, letting him and the kit learn my voice. Then I vacated the room and removed the set. I then placed it in the air and it created a hologram of myself, complete with voice and mannerisms. A caretaker’s visage, they call it.

I used to have a set for Varia, but—silly me—I sold it because I didn’t think I would be adopting anything else. So much for that; score one for loot hoarding. With that done, it was time to make another call.

……

“Hey, Jerr, it’s Dennis, how ya doin’? … Oh? That’s great! Why didn’t you call me for that offer? … Ah, yeah, I can see that. Listen, I’m gonna be in the area for business but the scheduling doesn’t line up and I don’t want to loiter outside. Mind if I drop by and socialize? … Yeah, next tele-pulse, you open? … Fantastic, what’s the address? Oh hold on, let me get a quill.”

I strolled through the market square, looking for some particular things. It was a sunny day

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

"Bring it on Home to Me" plays on the radio (Sam Cooke).

The Byrdes are driving as a family in their usual family car down a random 2-way highway lined by an embankment and trees on both sides. Traffic is light and they are cruising. All are wearing seatbelts.

Charlotte looking around. She looks to be destressing/relieved. Jonah staring out the window in his own thoughts. Marty concentrating on the road.

Wendy: God, I love his voice.

Wendy looks to the kids to see if anyone listening but no response. Marty turns the music up and Wendy smiles at him - they exchange a moment together.

Marty: We're all set for the FBI tomorrow

Charlotte starts listening to the conversation. Jonah keeps looking out the window/keeps to himself

Wendy: (Sarcastically) Oh, joy

Wendy looks to Marty to share the sarcastic joke, but Marty looks straight ahead

Wendy: What's their temperature?

Marty: Does it get above chilly?

Wendy gives a knowing look and tilts her head back.

Wendy: Well, they'll be there anyway.

Marty: Mm-hmm. That is true.

Charlotte stops obviously listening

Wendy: Forty-eight more hours

Marty raises eyebrows

Wendy looks back at the kids

Wendy: I'm calling the moving company this afternoon

Charlotte and Jonah look at their mum. Hard to tell if Jonah is purely spiteful toward his mum, or just generally still over it all.

Charlotte first glances at Jonah and then looks back to her mum as she says.

Charlotte: (smarmily) Whenever. Jonah and I are packed. (smirks)

Jonah looks down / toward Charlotte, avoiding eye contact with his mum. Wendy looks perturbed.

Charlotte: Too soon? (still smirking)

Marty: Yeah, much.

Charlotte: (softy) okay.

Charlotte leans back from talking and looks back out the window.

Charlotte: (perking up) Well, um, we found an old stack of hundreds from the Blue Cat wall.

Marty: Really?

Charlotte: We just decided to leave it for someone to find one day.

Jonah: (smug) We put in in the bibles

Jonah immediately looks away as his mum looks back and begins to make a joke.

Wendy: (chuckling) Well, that will go unfound for a long time.

*Wendy lo

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Welcome to the latest sabbat informational post! Throughout the year, we will be posting up these threads to share general information about the next upcoming sabbat so WvP's witches, new and old, can prepare for the holiday. These posts will contain basic information about the holiday and open up for the floor for further questions or discussion.

🌲🕯️🌲 Yule & the Winter Solstice 🌲🕯️🌲

What's Yule? What's the Winter Solstice? When are they and how are they different?

Yule (YOU-uhl) is one of the eight sabbats of the modern pagan Wheel of the Year. It is one of the "lesser sabbats", meaning that it is based around either an equinox or a solstice. The others are Ostara (Spring Equinox), Midsummer/Litha (Summer Solstice), and Mabon (Autumn Equinox). There's a section that goes into the history and connections of Yule in more detail below if you're interested.

The Winter Solstice, also sometimes called Midwinter, is an astronomical event that happens once a year and marks the event when one the earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun. It occurs on either 21 or 22 December each year in the northern hemisphere. In many Western cultures, this starts the beginning of Winter. This year, the winter solstice falls on 21 December.

For our Southern Hemisphere witches, the upcoming solstice is the Summer Solstice, which corresponds to the celebration of Midsummer/Litha. For more information, check out our earlier Midsummer (Litha) & the Summer Solstice post!

Yule: History, Connections, and Modern Practice

Yule was originally a midwinter festival celebration by early Germanic people. The name Yule is very old, originally spelled Jól or Jul. Our earliest references to this name refer to a period of time about two months long lasting roughly from mid-November through early-January. These old Yule celebrations centred around midwinter and were filled with feasting, sacrifices, and oath-taking. We also see references to Yule in some of the names or kennings of Odin, such as Jólnir and possibly Jölfuðr.

As Christianity moved north and west into and across Europe, many local Yule customs were absorbed and repurposed into "Christmastide" celebrations. Indeed, many of these traditions still live on in modern times, both in purpose and in naming, such as Yule Logs and Yule Goats.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

With the year coming to an end, it's a good time to look forward and see what NA brings to players in 2022. The sub has been lucky enough to have a player contribute for the previous two years, who's sadly left the game due to the gacha system, but I wish to continue their work and share with everyone with the bundles of blessings we will get next year. You can see their previous write-ups if you're interested - Preview for 2021| Preview for 2020.

Following their format, I'll be trying to break down what happens on a monthly basis. As always, this is a rough idea of what NA will get based on what has happened on JP in 2020, and is not meant to be the definitive guide to what will happen exactly. No one knows the exact release dates for events, campaigns, etc except DW, but content-wise, we can mostly expect the same. NA has been lucky this year, getting previously commemorative events in real life being rebranded so players can have their chances of getting their desired servants, like the KYOMAF banner being rebranded into the "Back to School" campaign.

Otherwise, it's best to assume that won't always be the case, and a lot of other commemorative events and/or campaigns on JP may not make it to NA. Dates also tend to shift around especially around mid-year since NA celebrates its anniversary in end-June/early-July while JP celebrates theirs roughly a month later, so there's bound to be changes. I'm almost certain I will be making edits to the post as well, so do share any mistakes I may have made. The point of this post is to be informative in a general manner while letting players get a glimpse of what they can experience in the coming year.

With that said, it's going to be a long read, and I hope it will be beneficial to you as much as it is for me. Remember the help thread has tons of relevant information as well, such as Upcoming Banners for a specific servant's rate-up, or the Event Compendium for the rewards and resources we can expect to get. Let's go!

Go here for Civil War, Part I. Go here for Civil War, Part II.

While the midterms of 1834 changed some of Daniel Webster's plans, his leadership in the Civil War remained unchanged.

The Battle of Horn Island

By the end of 1834, the Union, with British assistance, had surrounded Confederate territory and taken Cuba, but it had not taken New Orleans. Fleet Admiral John Rodgers, Admiral Henry Curzon, and Commodores Isaac Hull and Matthew C. Perry planned to change that.

They launched several offensives aiming to take New Orleans between December 2nd, 1834 and February 13th, 1835 but while all of them made progress in eroding the Confederate position there, they still all failed to take the city.

However, after its defeat at the hands of the British and Unionists, the Confederate Navy were also regrouping and gathered in one large force lead by Commodore Franklin Buchanan. Buchanan and Confederate Secretary of the Navy Clement C. Clay planned to split apart the Union blockade at Mississippi. Buchanan was successful at first, managing to outmaneuver Union forces, getting to Horn Island, an island right to the south of mainland Mississippi.

The Union responded by sending Isaac Hull and Henry Curzon to meet him there on February 20th, thus starting the Battle of Horn Island. While the Union and British navy much outnumbered the Confederate navy, in this battle, the two forces were about equal, as the Union and British still had to maintain their blockade around Confederate territory.

Henry Curzon approached the Confederate fleet first, going south from the coast of Mississippi. His aim was to distract Buchanan's fleet until Hull could arrive from the west. Buchanan, less experienced compared to Hull and Curzon, fell for the ploy and attacked Curzon's forces with all of his might. Here it turned out that Curzon had underestimated the Confederates and suffered many casualties from this first attack.

A later daguerreotype of Commodore Franklin Buchanan

However, Henry Curzon did get his job done and Buchanan was not expecting Hull's approach from the west. When he noticed Hull, Buchanan chose to cont

But let me give it a shot.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

It really does, I swear!
