  • Yup, it helps to remember that they're 1 of today's lucky 10,000. That said, I do think it's reasonable to say that certain fantasy races might tend to think in certain ways, or have certain opinions, even if only because that's what they're brought up with. It means you can have interesting "ugly duckling" scenarios where one is brought up by a different race and ends up with their outlook instead.

  • Vance is going to be hoping that the orange cyst holds on for a bit longer. Isn't the rule that if he serves more than two years of a term it counts as his first term, so he could (theoretically) only serve one more term?

    I realise that minor trivialities like term limits are usually of little concern to them, but he doesn't seem to command the same absolute loyalty as the pustulent one, and so is more likely to be shoved aside.

  • Nevermind spears, they'll be able to operate tin openers!

  • Oh, you should absolutely go there again, as should many other people, but only to explain to the manager, in detail, exactly how unacceptable this is, and to demand proof that they have written policies forbidding their staff from engaging in this sort of behaviour. Then contact law enforcement to ush them to prosecute to the maximum extent possible.

  • Only the admin of your instance can see your IP address, it doesn't get federated to other instances.

  • No need to make snippy comnents, he had to do it, there was a claws in his contract.

  • They're special onions, err... bath onions. Very good for you.

  • Thanks for the analogy, that really helps to put it in perspective. I was trying to work out the number of molecules per metre that would leave you with, but either my sense of scales is off kilter or I've got it wrong.

    From what I can find, there are approximately 2.5e25 molecules per m3 at 1atm. Given an 11km cube has a volume of 1.3e12 m3, that gives around 2e13 molecules per m3 per m3 released. That sounds high, have I got the figures wrong somewhere?

  • "Gelatinous tuna mold concoction" is a concept I don't want to have to think about ever again, and I ate similar things when I was a young'un.

  • It's not about the ideas spreading genetically, it's about sending a clear and unambiguous message that if you act in a particular way you will be met with particular consequences.

    The problem is ensuring the consequences actually occur. If that was an easy problem to solve we wouldn't have anything like the crime rates we do.

  • Fastration?

  • Thanks for a well rounded write up. I always enjoy reading your posts.

  • Building up tolerance? That's a smart move. When the vampire hoards attack you'll be able to fend them off without risking harming yourself.

  • "...ok"

    I'd love to think that his next words involved acknowledging that he didn't know what he's talking about, but they didn't, did they?

  • I don't think it's abuse they love exectly, it's being told exactly what to think and how to act. It removes a huge amount of cognative load and uncertainty and leaves them feeling more sure of themselves.

  • It's been quite a while since I've used sleep on a laptop, but it worked well on my Dell (latitude I think, as I said, it's been a while). It did take a little experimenting with sleep levels to get it reliable, but once it was it worked for years.

    ETA: I realise that saying "it worked for me" is probably intensely annoying, my appologies for that, but I thought a counterpoint might be a useful extra data point.

  • Money wont solve everything, but it does put you in a good position to deal with the problems that are left. After that it's up to you.

  • Buy bitcoin as soon as you hear about it. Hold it until it's six figures. Yes, I know it sounds insane. Do it, or I'll come back and haunt you some more.

    Teen me would have to remember that for a fair while, but current me could do a lot with that sort of windfall.

  • I assume it's been vibe coded, sauce for the goose being good with the gander and all that.

    ETA: /s just to be clear.
