Thanks! Sounds like a ringing endorsement. I haven’t played the original :)

In Demolition man, they passed the 61st Amendment to allow him to be president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Opportunity_to_Govern_Amendment#In_popular_culture

Yessir! One of my favourites. :)

The music in Mass Effect one was the best, in my opinion. Mass Effect 2 was a better game, but the music went cinematic-epic instead of “alien chillout techno rave”.

For a while I defined my musical tastes as: “would it sound appropriate in a bar in Mass Effect 1?”

Now I’ll spam a few of my favourites that I found during that phase:

Add flavoured salts for more variety. I’m partial to Tajin or Montreal Steak Spice.

The Governator has spoken

I hate this defeatist mindset. You see this and go “why would I even try?”

Damnit, if you don’t want to participate in capitalism, don’t. Join a communal cult like the Twelve Tribes or something and experience slavery for yourself.

Git is a sort of proto-blockchain – well, it’s a ledger anyway. It is fairly useful. (Fucking opaque compared to subversion or other centralized systems that didn’t have the ledger, but I digress…)

Worst kind of clickbait YouTube thumbnail. Anyone waste their time on the video? Did it say anything interesting at all?

Sell me on it :)

Could be both

I also have this memory

I let my players make checks: “what would my character know in this situation?” History roll. Me as DM: “your character would have gone to kindergarten and learned the number 2”

Yeah, there is risk of some chemistry happening at really low voltages which cause irreversible changes to the structure of the material. Given how the battery responded to tests afterwards, I can only presume that these didn’t happen. Short of dissecting the cells and putting them through XRD. Mind you, I do know a few people in the lab…

First question first. The ions in the salt dissociate with one another and more or less freely flow in the water.

Second, as far as I know, the hypochlorite ion has a covalent bond holding it together. It’s just not a very stable bond.

It’s weird. The provinces vote conservative when the feds are Liberals. And then it swings the other way. It’s like the system is designed to keeps the provinces and feds always at odds with one another. Pointing fingers at another level of government is easier when they’re a different team.

Hey, maybe it is true and they’ve been using this location as their central reserve equivalent. Announcing this is clearly intended for the locals, to encourage them to storm the place so Israel doesn’t have to, regardless of whether it is true. Combined with their announcement that they won’t target it, it seems like they’re encouraging people to go there. But instead it was evacuated. If it is a safe spot with no gold, why would they evacuate it? Anyway, the mind games are interesting…
