Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?
  • I do specialty work in electrical engineering systems, and I am meticulous and careful about what I say, because it appears that at a certain level in this field no one will question anything you say, because no one understands what you’re talking about.

  • British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says Ukraine can use UK weapons for strikes inside Russia
  • Probably the first one, Putin knows it’s win or die at this point. I suspect the war will touch off when NATO creates a protective zone in western Ukraine. They can mix their F-16’s with Ukrainian ones. It will be a gunpowder fuse waiting for a spark.

  • How to get a clue where on the curve of Dunning-Kruger effect you are?
  • I’m going to answer the broader topic: “how do I know what mastery I have in a subject area?”

    • Are you able to use parts of a problem in that area to fill in the gaps from experience to find a solution?

    • Are you able to identify why an attempted solution to a problem in that area won’t work, and why?

    • Do people refer to you with difficult questions about that area?

    • Are there areas in that subject you feel don’t make complete sense, that when you ask subject matter experts they deflect (or better, admit they don’t understand it either)?

    • Can you identify problems in that subject area that have not been solved, and can, if not take the time to solve them, identify how you would go about solving them?

    Each step here shows an increasing level of mastery in a topic.

  • Cleric/moon Druid gish builds in 5e

    I was thinking about crazy optimizations today and I’m surprised we don’t hear more people talk about this combo. A cleric that can cast lvl 3 spells can concentrate on spirit guardians and wild shape, and by becoming a large creature you can create a 40 ft field of fast moving justice taking the dodge action - that include spider forms, which allows ceiling walking to create the disco ball of death moving around a room out of melee reach.

    I’m surprised I’ve never seen this build being abused.

    Sharing the Load

    I play with a group where we love to help out the DM with adventures; this is a batch of dragonoids I’m printing for our combats in a 5e Dragonlance campaign.

    I print them, another player paints them, we all benefit from adding to the realism with 3D models. As a DM I love it when players help add to the realism of the game, and our DM trusts us not to push too much but to help if asked.

    Just wanted to throw out this slice of gaming life in case it sparks ideas for anyone. Printing minis, building terrain, helping with play lists.. this can all help make the DM job easier and make a better game experience for everyone.

    Or buy pizza. No one minds if you buy pizza.
