  • I’m not any kind of expert but I seem to recall that turning air conditioners off and on with a switched outlet is a bad thing… something to do with how they start and stop the compressor.

    Also, unless you have no choice, stick with the dual hose models, because the single hose ones end up pushing conditioned air out the window. Even if a single hose model has a theoretically higher efficiency, it won’t translate to the real world because it’s blowing cooled air out the window.

    Hacking something to replace the unit’s power button is probably your best option









  • I have to say, as a GM, I want the players to start with a concept and work from that. BUT I absolutely do not want them to start with a character from books or anime or some batshit crazy idea and expect me to beat the mechanics all out of shape to accommodate them.

    I saw a post on another site (which shall not be named) where the player wanted to play a monk with eyes on the palms of his hands instead of on his face. He claimed it was for flavor but he also said he wanted to just be able to close his fists and ignore any negative effects from seeing something, such as a gorgon or basilisk. While I admire the creativity, I don’t have any interest in screwing up the playability for other characters and for myself.

    When I’m a player I start with a role, then layer on something odd/quirky, then look at how I can implement it within the rules.
