  • Krag [any]tofoodButter substitute for cooking
    ·

    You're going to need to use some sort of fat to replace the butter. If I was working with my kitchen pantry I would use olive oil. I'm sure you could also use canola oil.

    Honestly, try using half or a quarter amount of butter. Sounds like a lot of butter for the fish.

    I work with a similar time tracking mindset. Luckily my employers added a "Nothing to do because of COVID" task for when there is literally nothing to do.

    I would recommend you find a personal project to work on that is tangentially related to benefitting your employer, like a fancy spreadsheet that streamlines part of your job, or documenting a workflow, than using that as a resume item to help you find a better job.

    My advice is not to sweat the mechanics of DnD and instead focused on understanding your character and being creative.

    Have an idea on what is mechanically easy and difficult for your player to do, but don't sweat not knowing the exact probability of a successful action.

    While playing, state what you envision your character doing and ask the DM how to resolve that. Instead of saying "I roll my Athletics to jump over the gap", try saying " I'd like to jump over the gap" and let the DM say "Roll your Athletics" or even better "You do it".

    Lastly, remember that TTRPGs are not video games. The goal is (typically) to tell an interesting story through collaboration, while expressing creativity.

    All of this is obviously contingent on having a like-minded DM and fellow players, so while playing try to gauge if your actions compliment those of the group as a whole.

    I sincerely hope you have a great time and find a new source of enjoyment in life!

    Calc 2 is tough. I withdrew the first time I took it and got a C the second time. What got me through it was:

    1. Asking tons of questions, without regard to whether I looked like a fool. Like sending an email about u substitutions even though technically it was covered in a prereq.

    2. Focusing on mastering each concept rather than focusing on each type of problem you could see on a test.

    3. Reading the book when the lectures weren't helpful.

    Calc 2 is tough but if you're pursuing a degree in math or engineering it's crucial to succeeding in future coursework. The time you spend now will pay off in the future.

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I do not mean to portray 'flippantly' and 'disrespectfully' appropriating as opposites.

    There's a difference between learning a language and flippantly using it. Example, a non-Spanish speaker calling a Spanish-speaker 'ese', even if they do not intend to offend, is probably not cultural appreciation.

    Are you actively or passively negatively portraying the language? Are you flippantly or disrespectfully appropriating the language from the native speakers? Are you using the language, knowingly or unknowingly, in a mocking manner?

    Often the answers to these questions are yes. In the posted meme, I'd say that the language change is being used to mock its speakers, therefore I think it is racist, or at least wrong in some manner.
