That’s 23 years, not 13

I’ve said for years that we need one more episode of Celebrity Deathmatch between Delores Umbridge and Kai Winn

Randy Feltface just dropped a comedy special about bananas in general, but he mentioned that one specifically

What do you do when the wizard is on the front line because she, the cleric, and monk are constantly one upping their respective AC’s (wizard was cheating, she was a dweomersmith)

You are, again, orders of magnitude off, and have no clue what you are talking about. I’m an actual nuclear power scientist, so yeah. I’m gonna ignore all the lies you tell from now on.

Sure. I’m gonna believe you, a rando on the net, rather than my experience as a Navy Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor.

Fuck off. You don’t have any clue about what you are talking about.

Great Britain is specifically why I only called the US one of the oldest. You guys have barely modified your framework since what, the battle of Hastings or some shit around 1200 when the Magna Carta was written?

Yeah, that shit has lasted far longer than it ever should have to be quite honest. I can only chalk that up to Brits and their stiff upper lip. Y’all don’t seem to like upsetting the tea cart.

If you read The Constitution of the Six Nations, you’ll see why I said they had a bit more influence than The Magna Carta, and Commonwealth Law. After all only 2 of the colonies remained commonwealths to the present day, and only 3 in the last century.

Almost the only thing we didn’t directly rip from their constitution, that is in their constitution, was the concept that “all laws passed must directly benefit all children of the next 7 generations of unborn children.”

A kender. All kender society is communist to the extreme. There’s not much in the way of currency, and what does exist, exists because of states outside of Kenderhome. All public property is communal. Hell, the “jail/palace” is only used if you manage to FORGET TO HAVE SEX with another kender, because they are so fucking ADD that is an actual issue.

Most people don’t understand kender at all, and think they are just annoying. That’s not what we are. We’re the counterpoint to the gnomes. We can take anything and make it into something interesting, we don’t really understand private property, and personal property is shared amongst us, so others don’t like us. We take problems apart like there’s nothing that can stop us. That’s why I was picking locks IRL at the age of 2. It’s not to commit crimes, I don’t know if any of us are actually capable of doing that intentionally without a lot of disillusionment. We just want to explore everything, and fix all the problems we see. That makes us extremely annoying to others.

True. We rather quickly stopped using the term. Jefferson, and Madison used it a couple times and stopped. No other American president uttered the phrase after that because the experiment was already done. We achieved self sufficiency.

That’s about 2 pallets of solar panels and batteries each, not a shipping container. That’s 0.0138 of a standard shipping container. I used to stack them 4 wide, 3 high, and 24 deep when I was a forklift operator. If you are shipping something that is light, and doesn’t matter if it overheats, you can do 4×4×26. Maybe more.

Their hold can easily contain an extra 4 pallets.

If those particular boats did or not, I don’t know, and that is irrelevant anyway. They definitely shipped some pallets of something, and other boats and ships exist and are providing aid.

Anything you wish,

There’s nothing to it…,

Come with me,

And you’ll be,

In a world of double penetration,

Oh fuck, you have me doing it now.

You have a gift. I’m not entirely certain that you are using it to the full potential with the art that you just produced.

There’s been some adjustment within the framework, but we are one of the oldest countries that hasn’t thrown out their framework to start over with a new government ideology. I would agree that some of that adjustment comes extremely close to shattering load bearing beams of the framework, but that hasn’t happened quite yet.

Unlike, for instance, China or Russia, both of which have thrown the framework completely out the window in favor of a new framework twice in the last century.

The question of: if we need a new framework, or need to modify the existing framework to be better for the people and humanity is a discussion for a different thread.

Regardless, “The American Experiment,” is what the British, and what became Germany’s aristocracy referred to us as, until after The Civil War, because they saw us as the death knell of “The Right and Proper God Given Rule of Kings, (and queens,)” and were hoping that The US would fail as an idea and political system. I also suspect that the fact that the US version of democracy being based almost entirely on a system that the local Native Americans had been using successfully for over 15,000 years may have also played into their fears about this.

Deep core mining is the real tech we need. Blow up a 10 gigaton device on the surface and you’ll melt a hemisphere of the upper layer of the crust and create a 30 mile diameter crater. Bury that baby 5,000 miles into the planet and blow it up? The Earth is gonna need help opening it’s ketchup bottles for a few billion years until it reforms, potentially around the moon which I suppose would actually stabilize the moon’s orbit, but would probably make neo-Earth uninhabitable.

If you blow it up on the surface or in the atmosphere, sure. Blow up a 10 gigaton device, which we absolutely can make and have the materials to do so, buried as deep as you can possibly get it, so about 1.5-1.6 miles in the crust, and you’re gonna wreck a significant portion of a hemisphere.

Especially since U-238 is one of the most abundant elements in the crust. Literally every single shovel full of dirt that you pick up has several hundred to several million atoms of U-238

Project Sundial wasn’t just theoretical. We had the ability, the materials, and the technical knowledge to build it. The political will faltered and blinked.

You know how you can absolutely verify that? We built it in thousands of different bombs rather than just one big one.

If we had made a 10 gigaton device where it was supposed to be located in eastern California, or western Nevada, blowing that up would have created a massive crater that probably would have measured at least 30 miles in diameter, and all of the US would die in the first blast. Normally when talking about nuclear or fusion weapons I would call the US citizens the lucky ones, because we wouldn’t have to live with the consequences. In this case, all of humanity is lucky, and basically no one survives the blast shockwave. The shockwave would circle the globe multiple dozens of times. No one that isn’t in a fortified bunker will survive the 1000 mph winds that would cause. Those winds would sandblast the surface almost smooth.

This is a world ending bomb. Half the planet’s crust would be molten for decades if not centuries. It would probably be the first mass extinction event that kills off more than 99.9% of all species. 10 gigatons is about 1/4-1/5 the amount of energy that Theia imparted to Proto-Earth which created two moons for a very short period of time, and made the entire planet molten for another 1/4 billion years.

Oh, and I agree with Teller on this one. He, correctly in my view, assumed that the end game of fusion weapons was a way to end all life on Earth, and designed the endgame. I think we were very stupid to split that up into massive stockpiles that, “maybe we could use one or a few, but not all of them.” That’s far too big of a risk for normal humans. Someone will use them again if they are as small as they are.

That was a fusion device though

Ironic that you use a monarchist term to describe one of the oldest countries in the world that has retained their current form of government since inception.

Fun fact, those laws got imported into the US, so at least East of the Mississippi River, the same shit applies, though admittedly it is newer techniques than the freaking 800’s like your historical buildings.

Someone got the reference. Just don’t give him Delores
