Because the problem wasn't that the government spuriously massacred a bunch of people arguing for democracy. It was the insinuation that people died where Mao founded the Republic of China, obviously.
“We have a lot of political leaders here in the U.S. who are camping out in Poland to try to tilt it,” said Randy Evans, who was ambassador to Luxembourg during Trump’s first term.
Isn't that just an open admission that they're trying to influence a foreign election
Why not ban both? There are nuanced approaches you could take that wouldn't immediately force every addict to quit cold turkey, or turn to the black market.
It just means that all the people that care about height will self-isolate themselves from the queue and normal people won't have to deal with the bullshit anymore.
Lovecraft is a bit of an odd duck in this comparison largely because his own works are fairly dull and uninteresting on top of being a generally shitty person overall.
His contributions are mostly that he had some really interesting ideas from the world building side of things that other authors and creators turned into far more interesting stories. Not really comparable to JKR in that Harry Potter is actually a pretty good piece of YA fiction.
"you feel the spell take hold, but for some reason the crown remains rusty"
Then you pivot that the rust is a powerful illusion or some kind of curse cast on the crown by someone related to that backstory to keep it hidden. Then while your players try to figure out why simply cleaning the rust didn't work, you try to figure out how to weave in that backstory sooner than later.
If you're really not ready for it to happen, make sure they have some other quest to do that has a pressing time limit.
Investigations aren't to find things - they are a punishment, in themselves
This is because commiting crimes is a foregone conclusion for Republicans. They live in this weird world where everyone breaks the law as much as they do. Innocent people are a myth. An investigation is just the first step in punishment.
It really depends on how much you value your time and how good you are with configuration
A QNAP or Synology will work and be pretty simple to configure out of the box. Installing custom software is possible, but can be tricky as they require you to enable sideloading and custom apps can be hard to find. Both have supported app stores with available apps to do what you're looking for (QNAP has apps for both torrents and Plex. Not sure about Synology)
However, you will get way more bang for your buck by building one from scratch using something like TrueNAS and the Arr stack, but this can require a fair bit of technical knowledge about configuring containers and securing network services(Especially if you want them to be accessible remotely)
Most people here do selfhosting as a hobby and as a result, the time spent trying new configurations is negligible as it wouldn't be much of a hobby otherwise.
Get some good honey and then make mead flavored with blackberries instead
