Pope Francis rebuked the Trump administration and Vance for treatment of migrants, mass deportations, etc.

The headline:
"FCC Grants SpaceX a Key Waiver to Boost Cellular Starlink Network"

What I read:
"Nice agency you have here. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it."

I'm surprised by the number of people who don't know "Double it and add 30" to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. (Add 25 if it's hot out.)

This isn't precise, but it's more than close enough to quickly get the gist of it.

0C *2+30 = 30 (32F)
20C *2+30 = 70 (68F)
37C *2+25 = 99 (98.6F)

I just transformed the 4-hp remaining party leader into a T-Rex. The tide of combat changed a bit.

It's the first time I'd ever pulled this off, and the other players were super amused.
