I called 911 a few years ago and they had a police officer call me back when he got to my neighborhood. I had to do this a few times as the incident repeated a few days later. Each time the officer called me his number was hidden.
That’s the only time I’ve ever had a call from a hidden number that was not a scam, but I would be hesitant to block them all
Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:
1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it
In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I’ve never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.
From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don’t even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.

Thank you for making me laugh so hard at the word “piss” 😄
It sounds like this is your first playthrough so I’ll try to avoid giving spoilers.
In my opinion the best way to enjoy the game is to just do everything - explore the entire map and follow up any leads in your journal.
For example, you probably already know about an owlbear cave from the dying guy and his two cultists, the ones who first told you what a “True Soul” is.
I suggest following up on all of those leads, finding a way to the Underdark and exploring everything there. Once you find the part that prompts you that once you proceed you can’t turn back (the passage into Act 2) then you should backtrack and take the overland route.
Speak with Halsin for suggestions on how to find the Underdark. If he is dead you can get some info from notes on his body or in his office at the Grove.
If however, you prefer to only follow up on the most important quests or you want to strictly act immersively then my suggestion is to finish a few quests that have important outcomes that change how later acts play out (e.g., has this person been killed, did you rescue this other person) or have important decisions that define your character, or at least have good loot.
-Auntie Ethel seems to know something about your tadpole. Maybe meet up with her at her quaint teahouse
-Wyll is hunting a devil, which is even more important to him than the tadpole. Help him find his quarry
-The goblins are a threat to the Tieflings and the Grove (you’ve already started this one)
-There was a note in the apothecary in the blighted village. It mentioned a shipment being sent to the cellar. Maybe there’s good loot down there
-Lae’zel knows of a crèche nearby where her people can cure you. She is adamant that you find it
-There’s an old highway to the north called the Risen Road. It should go all the way to Baldur’s Gate. Maybe the path is still clear. Surely someone in the city could help you find a cure…
This game is huge and many things you do will affect the world later. Mechanically, how the game keeps track of that is based on the state of the world when you advance to the next act. For example, people will be absent from later acts if they die in Act 1. Your decisions have consequences for the world. So I say make sure you’re there to make those decisions
I love Gaslands. I usually lose, but I spend the whole game grinning (and occasionally making tire squealing sounds with my mouth)
Those are luxury bones!

Whoops I thought that was Veronica. I guess it has been too long since I played
Right? Also, isn’t she gay? I love Veronica too, but I don’t think she’d want to have my babies
They did have Rush Limbaugh crowing about smoking bans, but the lung cancer that eventually killed him makes it harder to take his advice
For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.
I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.
I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point
Yes, the game supports split screen local co-op on consoles and even on PC.
You can play through the first 2/3rds of the game in split screen with no trouble. However, in my experience it gets unstable in act 3 on Xbox Series X (probably also on PS5). Presumably it is something to do with the limited memory on consoles, so if your PC has great specs it should work there.
They are planning an update due next month which is supposed to address the crashing, but it remains to be seen.
I think currently the best experience on consoles is to have two copies of the game on separate consoles.
The patch 7 update also will supposedly add cross platform multiplayer, so you could have one player on console and one on PC, since you probably don’t have two Xboxes, but again, it remains to be seen

It’s also about making sure you can’t sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.
Instead you must agree to “binding arbitration”, so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn’t work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).
Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn’t also start arbitration.
It is shocking that it is even legal
But it can only target humanoids
