I am currently hiding an NPC in plain site. An Alhoon NPC is posing as an alternate reality version of a PC chronurgist using alter self and anti-divination magic. They haven’t found out yet but I’m also not giving many clues yet. He’s going to join the party on an adventure soon and then I’ll start dropping hints, like how parched he always is (alhoon skin is dry and cracked) or how he speaks in odd esoteric ways (he’s ancient).
I have a 2020 surface laptop that’s still performing admirably. I’ve been consistently using it the entire time and have seen no drop in performance, even after updating to Windows 11. Though I don’t use copilot, or many Windows apps for that matter…
Can you explain why you say China would benefit most from decarbonization?
And for centuries after the bombs were dropped and all human life extinguished xkcdbot kept plugging along, posting the ancient texts. Its karma points have dropped a bit since human extinction, but it is undeterred.

In a certain nihilistic dreadful sense it’s hilarious how these AI advancements are built on the backs of exploitative manual labor.

The aliens should really intervene soon, before we build something that can threaten them…
I think they’re saying that rich people are allowed to break the law.
One day he’ll be convicted in the court of public opinion but by then Not Sure will be the smartest person in history and President Camacho will pardon him.
All the cool people of history are woke.
