Oh, some percentage of the dead people are brown or brownish? Well, that makes it all ok then!

I know at least one is getting frustrated with combat because he can’t roll to save his life.
Yeah, that's a feature of 5e combat, not a bug. It's what makes me despise combat. I miss three times, wait 20 minutes for my turn to come back around, miss three more times, wait 18 minutes, and then combat is over.
Some of us are just cursed. The only workarounds I've found so far are:
-
Specialize in making the DM roll saving throws, rather than me rolling attack rolls. A spellcaster who focuses on save-for-half spells feels so much better (because even when the monsters pass the save, the player still get to feel useful).
-
Specialize in party buffs and reaction spells. They don't have to roll anything to Enlarge or Dragon's Breath their friends, and they get to feel like they helped. Also, never underestimate how good it can feel to make a Counterspell bot. Even if the bad guys start upcasting their spells and your player always fails the check, they still made them waste a higher-level spell slot than they'd have used otherwise.

Halfling Divination Wizard with the Lucky feat. Three re-rolls, two portent dice, and rerolling all 1s once really helps brute force one's way through being cursed. And it's not broken when people like us play it, because we end up finally managing to get around the same number of successes that non-cursed people get normally.
Notice that none of these solutions are possible with pure martial classes. Steer your player away from those, maybe even let him make a new character. Martials are totally at the mercy of the dice.
My ultimate solution was to switch systems and play FATE instead. But that's an extreme reaction to an extreme level of frustration.
I was planning a long road trip that I could have done all at once, but decided to break into two days with a hotel stay somewhere near the middle. I was on a bit of a budget, so when I found a room for ~$60, I was thrilled.
When I got there, the shower handle was plumbed backwards (so the "Cold" direction was hot), the first towel on the rack had brown splatters that were very clearly old blood stains, and while I was showering a big roach wandered up onto the lip of the shower like "S'up, bro," then meandered off like he did this sort of thing every day.
The bed was about as cushy as a gym floor mat, the pillows were bricks, and when I sat down on the desk chair to put on my shoes, the whole thing just about collapsed under me.
The review I left said: "The best $10 hotel room that $60 can buy," and since then I just make all my road trips in one go if I can't afford to spend at least $100 for a hotel room.
We don't know what's in either of their pants.
The way you've phrased the question, it sounds like you're asking if we do it on the regular, like stepping on the scale or trying on old pants. Like it's something we keep track off as a part of our routine.
In which case, no. I do not measure my penis.
I have measured my penis, once or maybe twice, back during the period of time I could reasonably expect it to still be working on attaining its final dimensions. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be perfectly average.
The question "Have you ever measured your penis?" will get you entirely different results than the question "Do you ['do' as in currently, in a continuing manner] measure your penis?"
For high-speed rail? Basically, yes. Unless you're into spending a couple million bucks per mile to rip out big chunks of the mountain. High speed rail can't reasonably navigate tight turns or steep grades.
Let 'em.
interestingasfuck has been unmoderated and closed for weeks now. Other subs are going to get the same treatment, and going dark is worse than going NSFW. The most effective form of protest any sub can engage in at this point is forcing Reddit to fire and fail to replace them.
I guess people just don't want to moderate anymore.
"Which group were the evil ones?"
"Due to the laws of the state of Oklahoma, I am not permitted to tell you. But I'll bet you can guess."
Glass is half full!
...because the top half boiled off....
It's going to be a science-based 100% dragon MMO.
That's a lot of counter space. I'm sold.
