wait till you see electronic price tags. adverts and price gouging per person

BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

ooh tingly

that is helpful.

I probably am also getting mixed memories from playing TMNT/palladium, which had some kind of specialization for two of the same weapons… unless my brain is absolute tapioca, which, considering the hellscape out there, isn’t much of a stretch…

lol wtf…

portugal has gone plaid - what is that, base or acid?

valid

weird… am I the only one who grew up w/ ‘dual wielding is two weapons of the same kind’ table rule? hence, the dual label…

though people claiming affinity to Antifa have been involved in armed attacks in the US.

anyone got a credible link to this?

yeah their detachment from reality is getting kinda wild

something that’s occurring to me this morning:

it’s not enough that the potter fans want to have their fun; it’s not enough that they’re willing to ignore the hateful baggage and fund hate against their communities - I suspect there’s another aspect.

They’re upset we won’t shut up and come along. They genuinely resent that people have a line, have found a limit to what they’ll accept, because apparently they don’t have that line, that limit of what’s OK, and they resent people reminding them that they really should.

well put

it’s hard. I love the Sandman. I won’t watch it going forward, knowing Gaiman’s violence. I have the entire collected series, doubt ever read 'em again.

this is life: we change our plans when faced with reality, every day. you can choose to ignore the bigotry, but I choose to find new things to consume.

yep - solidarity with these folks!

“The union said controllers had only planned to stop work for coal and mineral freight trains, but the state government-owned QR did not allow them that option and was ultimately responsible for disruption to commuters.”

so you pirate it - but why? why would you want to consume something you know was made by someone who is awful?

did you play much vr? because it was huge.

the raw material was mined. Just put the waste back in the same hole.

yeah it seems really simple, but then, you have the realities:

lots of uranium mining is open pits. like this one in namibia - -

that’s not going to keep stuff in one place.

transporting it, hell even getting the producers to agree to accepting it for storage - would be a political nightmare.

even in places where it was mined underground, you have water tables to worry about. it’s simply not that simple.

no radioactive waste to deal with either.

and with solar, most of the hardware can be recycled now into new units; with a 20 year lifespan, that’s going to pull thousands of kilowatts out of the sky, that’ll do just fine.
