I would like to nominate Diego de Landa, burner of the Mayan books. And a lot of Mayan people. The Mayans had books, like normal paper booms filled with Mayan writing. Histories, religion, presumably everything a society would write down. There are only four Mayan books left now. It’s all gone. It’s a tragedy that particularly boils my blood and I’m making him the final boss of a Mesoamerican-themed Pathfinder campaign I’m about to run, because I want to live out a fantasy where he gets fireballed to death or something.

What the fuck

Decent chance that when it is hacked, the hackers will actually use it to spread true information.

For a few frames, there are actually three, and it turns into something a lot like a hand when he goes for the ass

With a superconductor, you can create a much more powerful electromagnet through which the coil will still produce a lot of voltage even when turning very slowly. Thus, you can use a much simpler gearbox or even just skip it entirely.

A bunch if young Australian guys try a bunch of different salts on french fries. Can’t remember the exact title but it’s old as fuck. They go down the periodic table column that familiar sodium chloride salt is in and try potassium et cetera until it gets radioactive and unobtainable.

My favorite application for room-temp superconductors is low-speed generators. They have exactly one application, but it’s big: Wind towers without a giant gearbox. Wind power is cheap, but without the truck-sized gearbox with a bazillion moving parts that you can’t lift without the biggest cranes known to man, it’s even cheaper.

We got a MAGA who thinks driving a Jeep makes her cool, but other than that it’s just three generations of mild autism

Man we got war droids already and the people who really need ones that work are NOT making theirs shaped like a guy.

Fahrenheit is nice for talking about the weather, but metric is just better for everything else.

Unless you want to be used by an older man for sex or groomed to serve a naturally abusive personality profile, bail. But if you don’t bail, consider therapy.

I fuckin hope not. And I just don’t talk about brands the way you want me to. That’s for morons and sleazeballs.

As it is now, it would probably run a fake internet just for bots that create increasingly unrealistic and weird conversations year after year, progressing into unintelligible noise for unfathomable ages after humanity is gone. Assuming it attains the power to build things, that is. If it doesn’t, the worst-case scenarios are bullshitting its way into possession of nuclear launch codes and misusing them, or abusing global stock markets to acquire a significant portion of the world’s money before crashing and causing it to vanish.

They should have done this from the start. If they had, and were clear about keeping to discrete editions, I wouldn’t be learning Pathfinder.

Yes.

Armor-piercing ammunition should never be banned.

The color of your first car is a fairly common backup question. Answering this in detail is not recommended.

I took so e light electrical work as a solo handyman and didn’t embarrass myself fucking anything up. I’m looking for a steady job in the field, so it felt good.

I can’t be arsed to dig up the equation, but it may mean that the wind has 200 times more usable energy, which I think is a cube function of its speed. Wouldn’t be 2000 knots in that case

We believed a lot of wonderful things in the 90s.
