So I've heard a typical set up is still dependent on grid power (typical set up => able to push power back to the grid), and so during a power outage, you still lose power at your home. Its my understanding one of the components required for the hook up to The Grid requires continuous power (in case you need to push/pull power from the grid) and since it can't guarantee power from your panels, it gets that power from the grid (thus grid goes down, your whole home's power goes down.

Don't suppose you know more about this or can explain why this is/isn't the case? This setup seems unintuitive and undesirable to me, and so I'd love to have proof that's not the case, if it exists.

Trying to find the original response video, but can only find clipped or commented over versions.

Can anyone point me to the original video?

Gotta watch for insects under the mountain. There's some ways to cheese this, but I personally like the semi real risk it brings. I do advise avoiding plasma swords for your guys. Its too easy to start fires by accident, and in a large mountain base, a bad fire is death.

Other guy gave an okey explanation, but to try my hand at explaining:

On a typical round of combat, you get three actions. You can spend them in a variety of ways. An attack is one action, movement ("stride" action) is one action, most offensive spells are 2 actions, etc.

A lot of classes get ways to "discount" actions. For example an early feat fighters and barbarians can take is "Sudden Charge" which let's them stride twice and attack an adjacent creature and costs 2 actions.

The whole thing lends so much freedom and takes a lot of burden off the DM for needing to homebrew / make up things on the fly. The whole system is very crunchy though (very detailed and particular on its rules) and so doesn't fit everyone's vibes.

The real scathing insult was just "uninstall"

Can you explain how/why its the same?

My instinct says its actually trying to reach 127.1.0.0 (which is still local host), but that's an educated guess at best.

Edit: Question was answered later on thread

I literally can't believe it took us 50 years of ttrgs existing in basically their modern form for us to find the 3 action system. Its so intuitive and liberating compared to every other game system I've experienced.

Yeah, it (in my case, ChatGPT) has been great for helping me along with functions I'm only passingly familiar with / trying to use in new ways.

One that I was really surprised with was that it gave me a surprisingly robust, sensible, and (seemingly) well tuned-to-my-case check list of things to inspect for a used car I intend to buy. I'm already mostly familiar with what I'm doing there, but it pointed to some things I might've overlooked / didn't know were points of concern for the specific vehicle I'm looking at.

Or you just hard-wire it to USB killer only and charge your phone exclusively with wireless charging.

That feels really insightful.

Saw this post earlier and was cranking some brain cycles in kinda the same way you were. My brain settled on a switch for the USB since you should just need a 5 pole/2 throw switch (think I'm using those terms correctly?) to go from regular USB function to kill mode. I think for my own peace of mind, I'd want it to be 3 throw though (normal, completely unconnected, and kill). My brain then went to the battery, which I see as the real design constraint.

Then I got to thinking about building it into a phone case. The case would need to plug in to your phone's USB port, then have an additional external connection; it would be this connection that is switched into normal/nothing/kill mode. Cases can be pretty bulky, so tucking a battery into there would be easier and still maybe evade detection.

All that said, I think I like your idea better.

Edit: spelling

Edit 2: additional thought: if you went with the case, you'd want to have it really difficult to remove. Like, requiring undoing some screws, especially if you can get some torx or other niche screw head design (bonus points for mix and matched screw heads).
My thoughts on that are that even if the case is identified as having a false port on it, it would be so difficult to remove that the "adversary" just plugs their info stealer into it anyway.

That's amazing to hear. Lol, I had just put together a fantasy campaign for 2e to start next month. Guess that's gonna get put in hold.
