Zay-braah I guess, if I would try to write Dutch sounds in English spelling.

There’s a sound version available at https://webwoordenboek.nl/uitspraak/zebra

Not indian, but yes, one of our cats does use head movements to express her … requests

I have used both types of distance calculation in different campaigns. I agree that the ‘alternating’ rule is better, but I’ve also seen that it confuses some players and in that case slows down combat.

I’m currently using the phb rule. My players have just gained access to fireball and similar AoE spells, and I use the actual circular spell effects

So far I have not seen the players actively abusing this, so for now I’m just ignoring the weird distance effects

Mathematically, a circle is defined by all points that have the same distance to the center point. In d&d on a grid, distances are measured in 5ft squares, where a diagonal distance is the same as an orthogonal distance. This results in mathematical circles being square on a 5e/5.5e d&d grid

so, one fireball, having a mathematical 20 ft radius, can completely fill a square room of 40x40 ft.

Yes I know the book has a circular template for spell effects. However, using that on a grid has the weird effect that a target can be in a place that is 20 ft removed from the center (diagonally) but at the same time not be in the area of effect of a fireball cast on that center point

always more rewarding than a second hand job

That is true, for the 2014 (5e) version

The 2024 / 5.5e version rules no longer have the “two-weapon fighting” subsection - the rule is now merged into the description of the ‘light’ weapon property

Not completely right

(5.5e) Two-weapon fighting is a Fighting Style that only some classes can get.

Dual Wielder is a general Feat that any character of level 4 with str or dex 13 or higher can take.

Anyone can dual wield when their main weapon has the Light property.

“Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.”

Wow. That’s such a brilliant new idea –except that across the North Sea this has been possible for several years now. A so called ‘dynamic contract’ prices electricity based on supply and demand, which changes every hour. Sometimes you pay more than the ‘flat rate’, but also sometimes you even get paid for using electricity.

ATMs here (Netherlands) max out at €50 bills

cursive writing

So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

Because it is a word, or it’s easier to say, or funnier.

It’s definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) ‘fudney’ for FDNY

What it ‘actually’ is does not matter.

It’s ICE, as in: cold as

I have a small site with no robots.txt . Google search console still shows the same number of search results as in the last few months (around 800/month)

This is like one of our cats

Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)

Ik heb de sneeuw die de gemeente gisteren met enige kracht van de straat verplaatst had naar mijn oprit
met handkracht verder verplaatst naar naast mijn oprit

Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

• sequence number of the test
• temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
• method of ice cube creation
• volume of the ice cube
• volume of water/ice mixture
• depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
• type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
• did the ice cube sink
• if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

please also share your conclusion.

Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.

The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

Lies. Cats don’t ask questions, they assert their rightful place.

Stop doing whatever you do, adore me!

I use some products by hama, and they are surprisingly good value for their price.

You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.

I will never get to 20, yay!
