I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but a consultant is recommending we replace the church's PA system with four column speakers:

2 Tannoy VLS-30s rated for 400 W average, 800 W continuous,1600 W peak

and

2 Tannoy VLS-15s rated for 200 W average, 400 W continuous, 800 W peak

The specs clearly state the recommended amplifier power is 1200 W @ 4 Ω for the VLS-30s and 600 W @ 8 Ω for the VLS-15s, which I add up to 3600 W.

But the amp they've recommended is a LAB GRUPPEN 2000W Amplifier.

When I asked about the discrepancy the consultant said "Yes for the 4 x VLS speakers this is the perfect amplifier. We don't want to push past 400 watts on the 30 speaker and 200watts on the 15

This comment is about fantasy novels but...

The problem is that it's extremely difficult - impossible to change an entrenched system peacefully. Someone who sees the problems and attempts to actually do something about it is probably going to be starting an armed conflict. Feudal lords aren't going to give up their power without a fight, and if you're trying to establish a new type of government you can't let the old lords live. So the person taking the active role is easy to cast as the villain because they started a violent conflict and there will always be collateral damage.

The reactive character is much easier to cast as the hero. They can pay lip service to the idea of

My wife (38F) and I (38M) have known Aspen (28F) for 5 years. Aspen identifies as neurodivergent. Last year Aspen started dating her girlfriend Birch (26F) and hanging out with Birch's friend group. This friend group has lots of traditions, such as members drawing names to take each other on 1:1 "dates." Recently my wife (38F) and I had Aspen over for dinner and she mentioned she was stressed about planning a fun date for Birch's long-time friend Oak (27M).

She wasn't expecting to be matched with Oak - who did the draw - and doesn't really know his interests very well. She also mentioned Oak has racy humour, e.g. he took Birch to a burlesque show for a "date" and gave her some embarassing a

After years I'm (41M) finally developing a few good friendships - the first since I was in university twenty years ago. I realized how much I've needed this when I had drinks with one friend and we talked really honestly and he shook me up a bit, and then a few days later another friend gave me a little hand made gift and I looked at it when I got home and broke down. What's crazy is it's maybe one of the few hand made things a peer has ever given me in my entire life.

Afterwards I realized I'm part of the problem. I regularly chat and hang out with my friends - we work out, play games, go for walks etc., but I never give gifts, rarely give hugs, and don't know how to tell my friends how im

My spouse and I live in a one bedroom apartment in Toronto. The building is owned and managed by a large corporation. This summer we had an opportunity to get out of the city and see our families for a good seven weeks. On July 4 we sent our building manager an email letting him know we'd be away for the summer and asking him to email us notices instead of putting them under the door. We didn't get a reply, but we assumed we were good.

We also gave our keys to a friend to check our mail and water our plants. We're glad we did, because on August 4th they sent us a photo of a notice from our building manager. It stated that during our entry to our apartment on July 14, they noticed **"storage

u/Elberiel's comment yesterday made me realized I hadn't done any thinking about music in my Eberron campaign. Several of my players are musicians, so I'd love to get some ideas.

In your Eberron, what are some hit songs? Who are the top singers/songwriters/bands? What kinds of music is popular, and what kinds of magical innovations have there been in instruments, recording and playback technology? Has there been any plots or drama around music in your games?

One of my players is a lawyer IRL who plays a House Sivis agent and the session before last his character got killed primarily because of a Cloudkill spell from a renegade going by the name of Pol Torrn. However, House Tharashk was trying to execute a bounty against another PC and contributed to the first PC's death by holding him in the spell, so they were partially at fault.

Everyone figured there would be a ton of paperwork, so I worked with my player to come up with a legal agreement between Sivis and Tharashk, and I let him play a Sivis NPC who helped negotiate the deal. He really enjoyed it and I thought I'd share the text in case it's useful for anyone else. I'm not sure how to best

Sorry for the delay! After posting the platinum and gold medal poll I was uncertain how to best to determine the silver and bronze winners from among the other finalists of the bracket.

First, here's u/mwlbuilder's dynamic dice tower against u/Friengineer's manticore, minifigs, and microscale mountain:
