I expected a lot of travel for the career, I just was naive in expecting that travel to be reimbursed as it's a condition of the job. Nope, gotta foot the bill yourself.
I have passion for this career in conservation but, unfortunately, I also have to be able to afford the cost of living.
Now, I only mentioned Past Self as it is a new release I was listening to. Literally released last month I believe.
My all-time favorite has to be Aqua Regia.
Having met a few nut jobs who are all about pseudoscience like homeopathy, crystal healing, and other forms of 'natural alternative medicines', this is exactly the type of shit I would expect them to say with a straight face.
Satire needs to be exaggerated to the point it is clear no one would actually say something so outlandish. This misses that mark.
Me with a degree in wildlife conservation!
Yet finding work is almost fucking impossible and dealing with the bureaucracy of job hunting is so overwhelming, my unmedicated AuDHD ass cannot keep up.
Unfortunately I have no hope of this happening in our lifetime. Maybe the lifetime of the next generation, but with climate change on the horizon, I have little hope for that as well.
This was fun researching and theorizing. Thanks for asking.
We experience brain freezes when a sharp temperature drop comes into contact with the roof of the mouth and back of the throat, causing the blood vessels to constrict, which in turn causes the arteries in the brain to expand. It isn't exactly clear where the "pain" comes from though; it is theorized that the arterial wall's expansion triggers the trigeminal nerve (relays sensory info between face and brain) and is registered as a pain sensation.
Shark anatomy is entirely different in structure, such as they don't have the same complex nervous system. Also, considering they are ectotherms, their body responds in completely different ways to changes in temperature than we do.
So considering what we know about shark physiology and the current theory on the mechanics behind "brain freezes", probably not.
Fast hands don't mean anything if the DM says to reroll cause the first didn't count due to being rolled without being called for.
Now the little detail that the garden has a hedgemaze and you weren't directly attending the dinner party changes things. Guess you kick a cat. So that happened... Anyways.
Now see this is my pet peeve, how can you roll high before the DM can object? You shouldn't be rolling before the DM calls for a roll.
If DM'ing, I wouldn't have even called for one. I'd just have said you successfully punt the cat and everyone hears it scream in agony. Good luck talking your way out and staying at the party. 🤷
You know how human teeth have those prong bits that anchor into the gums, the "root"? Inside those are the nerve canals: spaces filled with a pulp that nerve endings run through.
Shark teeth don't have these canals in their root. Their teeth aren't anchored into the gums and don't connect to any nerve endings.
Beat Rebel Transmute, now I'm on Astronite and Zapling Bygone. Still also slowly going through Flintlock: Siege of Dawn.
