And live in fear for your own neck while those around you are treated worse than the dirt the scratch in to make a living knowing full well you can do something about it? That's what the folks in power want us to feel, afraid. I wish I knew I would have the fortitude to do the same if I was in his shoes.

The silliest part is they recipe really should be done grind everything together, mix with spirits, take to drying rack.

Mixing black powder with small amount of alcohol gives it more of a grainy texture (instead of a powdery one) and it will burn faster and cleaner and store more safely.

Inquire amongst my dread artificiers and black-hearted doom-gineers as to why. Once I've had the squared-cube law explained to me I would mastermind a brutal research and develop regime unseen in the land since the times of the wise ancients! This campaign of technological terror would garner me no friends amongst my accounts and middle managers, but the world will see, yes, the world! If I inadvertently harkenin a golden age of technology and prosperity wrought from such advancements, so be it! Seems but a trifling sum to pay for my. Fucking. TOWER!

They insist on playing by the other sides rules and obstinately refuse to call out what the goalposts are shifted. They always snootily think they'll beat them at their own game somehow if they just shift and adapt when the people that voted for them just want them to do what they said they would do. It's maddening.

In the immortal words of my dad, hanush of liepa: You have 87 weak and 40 ish Henry's saviour schnapps in your bag from leveling alchemy. At this point not saving is a choice.

This technology seems... Ill advised.

23 years later, 7 trillion in cost overruns and 14 wrongful death lawsuits later and we may just get to see the ashes of American society cancel this program.

I'd love to see the attitude warhouse brought to this kind of rpg spread around the world. Give me something about the moorish conquest of the Iberian peninsula. Give me something like kcd meets Mongolia. Or the Polynesian islands. Or central Africa.

All bills should be brought to floor, debated in situ, and given 1 week to be deliberated, bar none. Inability to compromise or come to an agreement should met with automatic criminal penalties of the elected officials, bar none. At the same time campaign donations may not be accepted or solicit led more that 100 days before an election and all extra in the campaign coffer must be redistributded back to the donors in equal measure up to 50% of that person's donation.

This is the kind of megaman-legends-2-ass shit the world needs right now.

Come on, man, it's just... I want this so badly now. It's like a completely different game!

Warhorse, hop on this!

Iron oxide is overall a better choice of colorant to any other commonly available oxide.

They may not be able to "infect" us, but if there are any critters that happen to find a part of us as a cozy place to settle down then we'd be in for a bad time. Who's to say there isn't some kind of fungal analog out there that sets up shop in our lungs or the ports of our skin or our eyeballs just happy as a clam?

Plenty of earthly examples. Valley fever is a colloquial term for a certain kind of fungal infection of the lungs. That mold loves dank desert caves which our lungs are just happen to resemble. For most people The body usually fights it off as a nasty bout of bronchitis, but plenty of folk succumb to the illness every year for it to be a real concern in the American Southwest.

FTL requires a massive amount out computing power. Full half the power consumption of any given FTL ship is dedicated to running these super computers. The fact is its just far to resource intensive to throw it away by destroying a planet. Far easier to change the orbit of a few dozen planet killer asteroids and put them into intercept orbits

What's to stop the people who actually do the work of such things from just, like continuing to do the work and lie to this guy about it? Send the acquired info to every major news outlet and governors desk, that kind of thing?

Where were they going without even knowing the way?

True facts*: Al maintains this kind of body to this very day. It's cost him a fortune in latex putty and Vaseline, but hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, right?
