I certainly hope someone was fired for that blunder.

The most reasonable explanation is that Charlie looked at the court documents, saw Juarez spelled as Juarez, had no idea that that's how you spell Juarez, and thought their name starts with a J sound.

    Yeah Culture drones are on both sides of the line between autonomous person and (potentially, if that’s what kind they are) weapon. Plus I was imagining all of the non-offensive things it could do to be useful when I suggested it.

    Hmm, a Culture militarized drone might count as a weapon. If there were one that wanted to be my friend and be helpful to me that would probably be the most generally useful weapon possible.

    This amuses me because they are (well, were; I haven't seen them in concert for 20 years but saw them several times back then) a good live band but 'Gel' was barely even a radio song for them, much less a hit. 'Shine,' 'December,' and 'Heavy' got the most radio play.

    In ye olden days a wizard could expect to have ~13 HP at level 5, assuming they didn’t also roll terribly for Con. Rejoice that no one gets d4 hit dice anymore!
