The actual cost of electric cars vs traditional will eventually be public, and then they won't be able to keep up with demand. The solar battle will go to China FTW, but we'll get the benefit of buying their stuff. Will this be enough to save Fiji? I fear not, but eventually I think there will be en...

I had some perverse satisfaction visiting my sister, who claims to be fundamentalist, after she voiced her fandom, I ran through the ten commandments, asking her whether 45 had complied with ANY of them. He got 1/2 a point for honor father and mother, which I grudgingly gave even though he lowballed...

Hadn't thought about eleven. The only new file I have is the replacement char I rolled the night of the election.
I keep finding new source material for spells, etc, and think I'm missing out or making errors... Can someone recommend a comprehensive source?

You had me for minute there, and I wished I lived in a witchless world. We all know, of course, that at least Baba Yaga is real.

So, if there was a conspiracy to commit murder (successful) and you knew about it, you are absolutely an accessory, unless you attempted to call the police. If you later found out about this conspiracy, how long or how deep into the knowledge of this murder would you have to go before you were an ac...

Sadly, the desire to impose one's egocentric vision of bliss on others is not a partisan issue.

No question, absolutely.
Also, if you have a crisis you can't manage, come live with me, or send them to live with me. End of statement.

Yes, I absolutely have students in this exact circumstance. Fortunately NY is somewhat more secure than other places, so far, at least. See above.

I think we'd actually be able to take down a hundred giants in these tunnels. (Ethically more and more unappealing, but doable) That's not my worry. I actually have three: M hears an alarm, can't find us or can't get his minions to beat us, so he moves up the date of his invasion. That makes him an ...

More than a little tired of the word "populist." Nationalist? Sexist/racist, other -ists seem inadequate. Certainly doesn't apply numerically, apparently not in The Netherlands either.
The perhaps only light at the end of this tunnel is that the whole Russia thing is slowly unraveling.

No, Draft replaced by registration soon before my 18th. Long haired proto-criminal delinquent smartass - really of no use to anyone at the time. This after as a preteen, because of a neighbor, I had wanted to be a Green Beret, in the worst way, until I realized how bad I was at following orders, in ...

War, as they say, is in the Will. These rival gangs of giants are only gathered here because of M. Once his spell is broken, there's little to bind them. There might be some few who have come to regard this as a permanent relocation, but we'll likely face many of those on our way in. Hal isn't fond ...

So, BAaB requires that the opponent be of the same size class as one partner. Giants are too big, I think. Also, I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves as far as leveling during this raid. Sure, I'd love to abscond with the treasure, send someone back and make one more big buy before we make...

To go from last to first: I concur that it's time we coordinate our feats. We've been consulting great, but some of the teamwork feats are pretty terrific. Ya, killing footsoldiers is sad; that's war. We live in a world where, unfortunately, real demons enthrall, enslave or hire minions who don't re...

Everything. Every. thing. will eventually be able to be traced to some personal financial enrichment or protection of same. Military buildup - look for his investments in contractors, infrastructure, watch for his connections to contractors. Stonewalling, lying, cover up, failure to be transparent, ...

Not speculative.

Eventually this will explode. The question is how much on fire everything will be afterward. Then the question will be can someone sensible make repairs.

So, pretty much guaranteed to be late Thurs, dress rehearsal. I will be on eventually, my guess 11eastern Pick on the ground. Giant still dangerous. What I'm worried about is flight. If he runs away, our cover is blown. In light of that, we have to unload as much as we can on him. If bull's strength...

For a long time "D" has stood for dumbass. As in, it's the economy stupid, as in if you're going to fight wars fight them like you mean it, as in if you want to control health care costs (or drug costs, or other science costs) you have to have single payer, and do it like you mean it. The ...

One word: plastics

Have we checked whether oil companies are buying up water purification technology, water transport and water rights?

Even a broken clock is right twice a day
