Looking at my notes/logs, I haven't played since 2013. I find I'm vaguely remembering the rough layout of things, but I am having to re-learn a lot of specifics like how many steps from market square to large crossroads. I see there's some new species to play with. Any suggestions on things/areas I should check out in particular?
Also, with the player count seeming lower, is
>So you believe it would be in the best interests for the elderly poor to have no financial safety net?
I believe that on average each individual person is better capable of making decisions in their own best interest than you or I are.
>but do you happen to have the financial numbers handy to back up your claim that minority populations (which also happen to be disproportionately p
>Social Security
Social security worked out pretty well for the first generation who received it, because they didn't have to pay for it. For everyone else it's been a redistribution of wealth from poor minorities to relatively wealthy white people. The fact of the matter is that poor people die before they make their money back from SS. So SS is both racist and regressive. It
If you double the labor force you halve the value of labor. You should be amazed that wages are even stagnant instead of significantly down. I'm not saying we should stop letting women have jobs, but the idea that wealthy somehow got more greedy is ridiculous. Everyone is the same amount of greedy we've always been. The market just changed.
>Fiscal responsibility: Government spends too much money, and takes in too little money.
Aside from creating the basic framework with which we all work together (contract enforcement, stopping murderers, etc.) it would be better for the government, especially on the federal level, to stop doing anything. Government should also play a role in forcing externalities into the market where they
Apparently two stray dogs came onto Uerlante's property. One of the dogs killed two giant chinchillas, he found it still in their cage. Uerlante grabbed his fairly high powered rifle and shoots the dog in the head, this kills the dog. Upon seeing the second dog a neighbor puts down his PBR, exclaims "Watch this!" and proceeds to get bitten. There is a concern this second dog ha
Let's imagine a world in which every person that lives in Chicago or the suburbs thereof was issued a 5-shot revolver and 5 rounds of decent quality hollow point rounds to go into it.
My personal opinion is that at the very beginning there would be a rash of suicides and killings with the weapons. Then shortly after the gun crime would go to nil because anyone dumb enough to try shit wou
It seems exactly as I described, a database query. I've personally seen, at a gun show, a person be denied the purchase of a firearm for failing a NICS background check.
In my state there's a 48 hour waiting period and "today" doesn't count so it's effectively a 72 hour waiting period for handguns. The only way to purchase a handgun and walk out with it in the same day is to have gone through the process of getting a concealed weapons permit.
I can go to any number of websites and pay for a quality background check on anyone. The data is aggregated from all over the country. I don't know what the lag is on, for example, an arrest to show up in the databases but it's clearly possible for this information to be searchable and the service is provided for a reasonable fee. Can the FBI not do a better job than beenverified.com
One of the suggestions in the New Yorker article you posted suggested allowing 10 days for a background check before purchasing a firearm. I don't understand the purpose of that. Is there a belief that a human being will be spending 10 days to research the person purchasing a firearm? It's essentially a database query, I don't understand how 10 days is any better than 10 seconds
I mean, I sit in front of my computer so it's not as if I can't/don't respond to other character input... but I bot with nearly every character. The types of things I will bot are usually practice spam, or something that earns me shiny coppers. It tends to work out to 15-20 minutes of no direct input from me at a time when I get it going.
The audience is primarily religious people. If you want to talk to them about science, it's helpful to use language and imagery that they can relate to. The show is actually pretty darn fact dense for a prime time show on Fox. They've gone into much greater detail in some of the topics than I had honestly hoped for.
Would you or anyone else who may have seen it mind outing not what the exploit was but what he was doing with it? Was he able to post as other users or something?
For about $550 I can get the NUC box with a core i5, 8GB of RAM, 240GB SSD drive, no OS. For $50 more I can get the low end Mac Mini, it has less ram but more disk space (not SSD though).
For that trade-off in price I would still pick the Mac Mini, it'll have a nice warranty, come with an OS I won't have to screw with, and I can upgrade the RAM later for not much money.
Why do people invent gods? Well, they invent gods for two primary reasons. The first is to explain natural events. The second is to enforce illogical social controls. We have a pretty firm understanding of all natural events on the levels that a layman is generally ever going to ponder them. We understand DNA, electromagnetism, gravity, the origins of the universe, and the origins of species

I don't particularly need OSX on this machine, so I'd be just as happy with a Windows or Linux machine. I have seen a few alternatives like the Asus Chromebox and such but nothing has specs like the mac mini. Most of the alternatives seem to
What you've described as "shady" is what I consider to be normal and good business. As technology improves less skilled workers can complete the tasks. If you want to compete, you have to get rid of your high income workers as much as possible.
