People weren’t there for the show. At least not the one on the screen.

It’S NoT UNiquE HAtEr!!1!1

A plebe such as yourself simply cannot understand the patrician level of pleasure that comes from establishing a singular identity in this world of dross.

133 communities and just 45 users. An old alt of mine is among them for a reason I can’t recall. Logun trouble or something?

Thanks! I assumed it was rhetorical question but this waaaaay outside my area of expertise.

Is decay the only way to get lead? I mean if uranium gets synthesized can’t lead get made as well?

I’d be interested in this too. I’m a bit away from the next vehicle but I was already considering going vintage for physical controls, an honest to god non-electronic mirror, and no surveillance.

Desert wasn’t really a cyberpunk setting until BR 2049. Post-apocolyptic sure, MadMax had that stitched up in 1979, but not cyberpunk.

Definitely do not watch The Man Who Fell to Earth which was supposed to be based on it.

Aviator, aviatrix, aviatman.

Director, directrix, directman.

Executor, executrix, executman.

Chairman, chairwoman, chair.

Maybe you don’t.

Stewards he said, gently mansplaining.

I am struggling with “fair” here. I’m pretty well paid for the public sector, but the private sector would offer a 50%+ increase with a noticable loss of stability. So I don’t know. I do think they should have promoted me years ago though .

CostCo is a rare good player in the retail space. They have a great reputation as an employer.

It’s voter suppression. By limiting the number of voting locations and understanding them you make long lines where people will wait for hours to vote. By not allowing food or water to be handed out they hope people will get discouraged and leave the line. The official reason is that it could be construed as a bribe to vote a certain way.

I have no idea why it got a first.

Pick lots of ballise fruit in White Orchard. It is tougher to find later on.

The Kingdom of Loathing guys (Jick and Mr Skullhead) had a development approach to keep their game system balanced. They felt that players had different primary motivations/enjoyment in the game and they wanted to make sure there was something for everyone. They divided players into four groups: Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds.

Hearts enjoyed the social aspects of the game and would use the chat system and clans extensively.

Clubs were the PvP crowd and weren’t happy unless there were meaningful opportunities to battle other players.

Spades are explorers and look to every nook and cranny of the environment, and are interested in underlying game mechanics (this is me).

Diamonds are collectors and completists. They will scour environments to ensure they got everything and do all the sides because they want all the stuff.

I got it wrong 😡 Prairie voles are the “monogamous” ones. But here’s a general interest article on the topic. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/monogamous-prairie-voles-reveal-the-neurobiology-of-love/

There is great work on prairie vs mountain voles. Mountain voles are pair bonded and meadow voles are not (I think that’s right). All of them are rodent polyamorous nymphomaniacs with respect to the breeding, it’s just that the mountain ones prefer co-nesting with the same vole regardless of who they’re banging. There is a brain difference with respect to oxytocin sensitivity that seems to control the nesting behavior.
