Right or wrong, I believe the intended message was, “[They] began drinking more. They still are (drinking more).”

Clearly this was AI-generated.

From what I can tell from the article, it’s not clear what the guy was selling. Maybe it was the claimed drugs, maybe it was water, but he had no idea and he was not only unaware, but also was making claims (“highest quality” and "made in the US’) that were patently false.

So he wasn’t so much “providing a path to medicines” as he was fraudulently making the claim he was doing so while putting all his customers at risk of harm.

You do know that Gary Larson and Daniel Boone weren’t peers, don’t you?

Suave? No, that was Ecuador.

Yes, most scuba divers typically have a snorkel as well, to make it easier to breathe while on the surface without using air from the tank.

I believe that’s his stated reason (as noted in the text you quoted) for recusing himself and his entire office, no? Do you think that’s an inappropriate response to a clear conflict of interest?

Or were you referring to the previous situation, where a sitting judge and prosecutor were related? That seems like a valid point, though perhaps it’s easier to remain impartial in that case.

Essentially yes. I think it’s usually, “out of the frying pan, into the fire.”

I suspect His service was cloud-based.

If you are going to keep Shadowheart, I’d recommend respeccing her to switch subclasses (I’m a fan of Tempest cleric, but there are several good options) and fixing her stats (like choosing either STR or DEX rather than splitting both).

Maybe that’s one of the elves?

There were two spinoffs: The Lone Gunmen and Millennium. Neither was particularly successful though Millennium at least ran for a few seasons and received a number of awards its first couple of seasons.

Barrier frustration is not the same as resource guarding. Think of it more like a reaction to anxiety from not being able to get to or interact with something of interest. Over time that anxiety gets displaced from the barrier to the object itself, and can also build up into an extreme short-circuited reaction.

But when the barrier is removed often the anxiety goes away and everything is fine.

I remember making that trip in the 90s, but I was too drunk at the border to find my driver’s license in my pocket so they just waved me through anyway. Those were different times.
