Hoping someone with an HQ19 can help me out. My FIL was in a serious dirt bike accident while camping this week, and I was asked to pack up his site and bring his camper and truck to my house while he’s in the hospital. I don’t have any experience with a camper and I just want to make sure that I properly shutdown everything and get it hooked up to his truck properly before I try and move it. I do have general experience with towing trailers, but nothing with a hitch like this.

Can someone give me an ELI5 on tabletop simulator, or point me in the direction of a good resource?

I’ve always been curious about root, but as a mostly single player gamer, it’s always been one of those “maybe if I find a group one day”. My local FLGS just had clockwork 1 and 2 pop up on their used shelf, and I’m wondering if this is a good time to make the jump? From what I’ve read, CW 1 and 2 are out of print with no definite timeline on future print runs. If I end up getting it mainly for solo, do you all think it’s worth it, or should I just hold off and grab it down the line if I find a decent group to play with?

In Wheatland for the weekend, and am curious if there are any good stores within an hour drive? Thanks!!

I recently took a position within the operations training department of a nuclear plant. For the license class that I will be teaching, we teach almost exclusively from PowerPoints, and these slide decks are AWFUL. There are probably close to 100-150 PowerPoints in total, most of them 120-150 slides. There is zero consistent formatting or organization of information, and none of the other instructors are motivated enough to actually make any changes, instead just teaching from the same awful PowerPoints for any lecture they are scheduled to teach. I’d like to take the initiative to revamp them - make them formatted consistently, organize the information in a consistent way, eliminate a lot of the unnecessary fluff that currently exists, and create a template that makes future creation a much easier process than it currently is. The problem is, while I think of myself as a more than adequate instructor, my PowerPoint skills and knowledge are on par with the average middle schooler. So the questions I have are two-fold: 1) what are some good resources to accomplish what I need to from the PowerPoint side of things (I.e. all the ins and outs of actually navigating and using the program itself to make this task as efficient as possible) and 2) does anyone have any good resources regarding organizing/presenting information that maximizes student understanding and retention? Most of the info I see about how to actually create an effective presentation is centered around presenting data in a “business-type” environment and not in a teaching environment. I appreciate all of the responses in advance!
