Wait, you want a telescreen that doesn’t watch you back? Citizen, this is ungood crimethink. Plus ungood crimethink! Thankfully, it’s almost unpossible to buy a telescreen without telemetry (and always has been), so Big Brother will know w

How on Faerûn would Paizo repay the private equity without doing the same things WotC is doing? Hasbro has an inflated idea of what it’s worth already.

Reposting a bit I wrote last night in the last thread: Every game master, without exception, is a content creator. Most of them want to try new systems just to see what they are like. If they decide to go to other systems, that’s it for D&a

I don’t think you understand the hobby at all. Every game master, without exception, is a content creator. Most of them want to try new systems just to see what they are like. If they decide to go to other systems, that’s it for D&D. Th

WotC’s next move should be to go the way of TSR and the dodo. In a way, I always knew this was coming. When lots of the people behind 3e left, I assumed that the OGL wouldn’t last forever, once there was enough money on the table. It took a

> How do I use as much electricity as Elon musk does running the Twitter servers? Start your own cryptocoin and promote it. Then other people will spend megawatts of their own electricity to make you money. Er, make themselves money.

The easy fix here is to make clauses like this unenforceable in the right to repair bills. Not that they’ll do it, but law outranks contracts.

You mean already happened. The wetlands have receded hundreds of miles up to The Delta, and Lake Tulare has been gone for a century.

This is the problem with science communication today. We can either be nuanced and the message can be taken whatever way a person wants to hear it, or we can be direct and people accuse you of ignoring nuance. As a first order approximation

I feel like people are missing the main point of this series, which is that it’s great for speculative fiction writers brainstorming. Like, just imagine cultists of the old gods trying to raise Tlaloc back to life, in order to flood the lan

How would a lunar railway handle thermal expansion? We’re back to the same problem that the nighttime lunar surface is mighty cold, and I’d expect big gaps to form

There are far less contemporaneous sources for Alexander the Great than there are for Jesus of Nazareth. So perhaps Alexander didn’t really conquer all of that land, and he’s an amalgamation of Macedonian and Greek rulers who invented him t

Maybe one of us who lives nearby can drive over and take a few snapshots for the “after” pictures. It sounds like they let anyone just walk on in.

Southwest tries to send more flights per day by reducing time at the gate. Most of the time it’s great, since it means cheaper flights and less time as a passenger waiting around for folks to find their seat number. They have lots of hubs,

The main thing we learned from US Superfund sites is that it’s better to sell off old polluted assets to small shell companies that can go bankrupt instead of paying to clean up the environmental damage. Cleanups are always someone else’s p

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usury#Christianity It sure looks like direct words from Jesus to me, not to expect anything in return for a loan. It’s just that Christian culture chose to ignore this rule in exchange for

Ancient Apocalpse is quite entertaining horrific pseudoscience nonsense. You just have to come at it from the right perspective. For me, it’s fodder for modern TTRPG campaigns and a Sailor Moon prequel fanfic, as well as letting me know of

If Elon is the Gatekeeper, who is the Keymaster? He kinda seems like a cultist trying to summon Zuul or NYNEX or something.

Every dog owner I’ve talked to about the end of life of their prior pets mentions how hard it was to let go. The selfish act is to preserve the relationship with your pet for your own emotional needs, and peace comes once you acknowledge th

The true meaning of free speech means freely saying things that Elon likes. It’s hard to tell now, but pretty soon we will have Musk chips in our brains to tell us which free speech is absolutely free.
