  • I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

    If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

    I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

    It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.




  • Many sprawling dungeon owners require regular deliveries of cheese wheels, ham legs and apples, to store on the numerous treasure chests spread around the different floors of their dungeons.

    They’re meant to be part of the subsidised dungeon canteen offer arranged by the Dungeon Workers Trade Union, but selfish adventurers keep coming in and pilfering them.




  • I may agree with some of your comment, but “trump” has definitely meant fart (at least in some parts of the UK) from at least the mid 1980s until the present day. It’s seemingly still used by young people as well, though not as commonly as it was when I was younger (though I did hear a “who’s fucking trumped, it fucking stinks” on the bus last week).

    We all laughed at Donald Trump when we first heard his name in the 1990s, though most people didn’t believe he was real (and it was hard to check such things, pre-internet). We certainly didn’t believe he had a wife called something like “I want to trump”.

    Though we did play Top Trumps, we also definitely laughed at its name, and amongst our group of friends, introduced flatulence-based punishments for the loser.

    Here’s it in some dictionaries: “(intransitive) British slang to expel intestinal gas through the anus” Collins English Dictionary

    “to release gas from the bowels through the bottom”
    Cambridge English Dictionary

    “slang or colloquial. The act of breaking wind audibly”
    Oxford English Dictionary

    I don’t know why this matters to me so much :D

    Maybe I’m just scared that our language is dying.
