Because you don't need to have significant experience or rent a VPS in order to do that, and I can respect that. We don't need to force FOSS developers to become proficient in everything.

What needs to happen is some kind of tool (ideally FOSS) that lets you spin up an actual forum with the same difficulty to set it up as Discord.

But is the letter facing the direction, or are you looking in the direction if you're looking at the letter? So, is East behind the camera or in front of it?

Danke für den Tipp, muss ich mir mal gerade einen Bericht mit Namen "niemand" erstellen und Maimais pfostieren, damit er in Betracht gezogen wird...

Huh, TIL.

Regarding your edit, that amount wasn't the cumulated cost of whatever Limewire were distributing, that would be idiotic indeed; rather the RIAA tried to call for a ruling that somehow those guys were causing $150,000 in damages - per instance. Now the article unfortunately doesn't state how they possibly tried to justify that number, and I can't be bothered to research that myself. Another thing that would interest me is how the plaintiff expected them to pay with almost every dollar on Earth.

So while I don't think this had anything to do with "lost sales", I do agree with the possible fines and damage calculations not being fit for any sort of realistic purpose at all.

Ich kenne die Platzverteilung dort natürlich nicht, aber dem Artikel nach hört sich das nach einem einzelnen Querdenker an, nicht nach etwas, das die SPD gemeinsam beschlossen hätte.

Because I didn't know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first:

[The] nothing matters.

And I immediately had to think of this gem:

"But it doesn't do anything!" - "No, it does nothing."

We actually have something like that in Germany:

In the region of Westphalia, there's a part officially called East Westphalia (or Ostwestfalen in German). So you're always wondering, is it in the east or in the west?

Depending on the stuffing, I might actually rather take the seat, just because it's got armrests.

I don't think I understand what you mean, might be because we're both ESL.

Are you saying you want a histogram or something about how points can be spent, instead of how players do spend them?

That could work too, but for many people, being able to dodge/avoid hits is exclusively the DEX bonus to AC, and they believe it doesn't have to do anything with hit points.

I'm on two minds about that: On the one hand, it's true that you're far better at dodging in lighter (or no) armor. OTOH, I agree with you that experience teaches you to decide where you're going to get hit if at all. So it might be something like "raise your arm so the strike doesn't hit your belly".

I rationalize it as "You took some blows so now you have a better pain tolerance".

Hmm, you'd probably have to have access to something like DndBeyond's data to compile such a chart (or use one they compiled). Problem is, there doesn't seem to be anything like that. The only published data visualisations are about races, classes and names.

So I don't think you can just search for it, the only other option I see is gathering that data (if from a smaller sample) yourself, by creating a poll asking for their ability spreads if they used point buy. You could try and advertise it in appropriate communities, and once you feel like your sample size is big enough, you can calculate the percentages.

I wish there was an easier way (and maybe there is and I just didn't look far enough), but from my chair, that's the only option.
