John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Sometimes, when running D&D, you just need to channel your inner Brannon Braga 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It depends on if badly designed websites on your college server count. 110
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 03/10/2026What do you call those droppable sticks they put at guard posts? Just ensure the gap is only large enough for a bike. You could even give the snow clearers a remote. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Aw man, that’s not the part of the 90s I wanted back! 010
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026After much work I have almost finished reorganizing my bookshelves. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hot take: if you were reinventing Dick Grayson today from first principles, you’d make him the son of a pair of high-flying wrestlers. 100
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It notes there are plasma injectors into the nacelle that causes a “shift of the energy frequencies carried by the plasma deep into the subspace domain.” It’s possible that you could read that as “the plasma goes to subspace”, I suppose. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The TNG tech manual doesn’t really say. Clearly some deuterium will be lost since they’re mixing it with antimatter at a ratio of 25:1 at idle, 10:1 at Warp 1, and 1:1 at Warp 8 (which is weird since at 1:1, how do you have plasma??). 100
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Today is the day we discover how much intellectual integrity Warsh has. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Though I also don’t know how you would run this game digitally, though clearly there’s a way. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I mean from a GM perspective it’s super easy; running STA and getting a handle on Threat will help you manage Fear. It’s just the player side combines a TTRPG with a deck-building game. 100
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I just read Daggerheart. It’s an interesting system, but wow it has a lot of bits. 100
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Currently bouncing between final prep for the D&D game I resume running tomorrow and the Werewolf game I run Sunday. 020
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I mean, I don’t know if you necessarily need to read both copies of output to outcome. 😜 100
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Today we did the Rochester Book Crawl. Four book stores, three used. Here is my haul. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I wouldn't call it a collapse or crisis yet, but the fact the treasury markets are essentially ignoring Bessent's attempt to lower rates could easily grow into a crisis. 110

John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I have gradually switched back to a much more analog style; paper books & notepad. Something about reading paper seems to hit my trained monkey brain different. I wonder if there were studies on this. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Spider-man was both a terrific Spider-man story, a terrific Punisher tale, and a terrific what-if X-Men story. 010

John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026This happened on a Friday afternoon specifically so that the Trump admin could control when these charges were dropped in a lame attempt to control the narrative. Don't let them.npr.orgProsecutors move to dismiss Reflecting Pool vandalism case, saying 'botched installation' to blameThe government had accused David Hearn of ripping a piece of sealant after a $14 million renovation. Hearn has repeatedly said that he simply touched the water in the pool out of curiosity last month. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 19/07/2026That’s not hard to do. Take a look at the Oakland Army Base, closed in 1999, but make the assumption that Oakland’s planned turn-around failed at some point. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Either way, I’m old now so I guess I sit on a mountain and dispense advice or something 010
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 16/07/2026So certain that it is consistently true in every multiverse. 010
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 08/07/2026You know, only capitalism could take one of the greatest public health victories of all time (municipal water and sewers), and make it something you must replace with a product you have to buy. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 07/07/2026That left nostril gets so many endorsement deals. 010
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 24/06/2026EWR would be the best airport in NYC if it didn't shoot itself in the foot at every possible moment. 020
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I would do a lot for a Starfield TTRPG from Modiphius. 000
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 14/06/2026There should also be so many more corporate death sentences. I am for the death penalty for corporations. 010
John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 11/06/2026It turns out that crowding foreign money into microfinance didn’t destroy global poverty, but did set up entirely new chains of dependence and poverty.wsj.comHundreds of Billions in Loans Didn’t Make a Dent in Global PovertyMicrofinance aimed to foster prosperity but stoked hardship for those borrowers who took on debt they couldn’t afford. 010

John Christensen @netbard.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Mandalorian and Grogu was an incredibly fun movie. 011
