Generally speaking it's considered bad practice for a GM to call for rolls that literally no one in the party can succeed at, but as with anything in tabletop roleplaying there is nuance.

There could be a narrative reason for the player to not know just how difficult something is and you don't want to give it away by just telling the players they can't succeed. If the most capable member of the party rolls a 20 and fails then the "reward" is the narrative of the attempt and learning what you're up against.

Or maybe someone in the party could succeed but for whatever reason the child-prodigy wizard with a strength of 8 wants to try lifting the portcullis. It wouldn't make any sense for them to actually do it.

It depends on the size of the opening. If it's small that's no problem. You could block a 1 inch pipe at 10psi with your bare hand and be largely fine. It's a little less than 10 pounds of force assuming a round opening.

The problem is that the total force scales geometrically with the size of the opening. Make it two feet wide at the same 10psi and now you've got about 4500 pounds of force trying to push you though that opening should you find yourself in the unfortunate situation that it's been completely blocked by your body.

Even if you are confident in your Linux skills this isn't a bad idea. I've seen too many OS installers put things on drives other than the one you choose to risk it at this point.

It's a delusion that including that link on your posts carries additional power of copyright on the content of the post under the terms of the linked license and will somehow stop any commercial entity from harvesting that data.

Ah yes, typos are famously based on how things are pronounced.

There was an episode that showed an alternate timeline where Wheeler refused the fire ring, so the planeteers were never able to summon Captain Planet and couldn't defeat the villains, so they ultimately went their separate ways but kept the rings.

Ma-ti is shown using the heart ring to essentially mug people, altering their minds to force them to give him money.

3 is possible if the physical run to your home is in bad shape. I've known two people who had weather dependant internet due to that.

If you're doing something with the output of the engine then it's not idling, strictly speaking.

Maybe it's just closer to the screen.
