    It is pretty good, especially if you add a nice hot sauce to it.

  • Key was the worst PM of this century, though Luxon is trying to delve deeper.

  • The economic model would have to be based on energy supply.

    But assuming the replicators were perfect to the atomic level; making the parts for power generation would be easy. But the fuel would still have to be found / collected / mined.

    Assuming that fusion is the most common type of energy generation; hydrogen fusion would probably be the dominant form of energy generation. Hydrogen collection would be a huge industry, but it also could be fully automated.

    While the economic model may not be noticed by the majority; it would still be there.

  • Can't set pronouns in display name
  • Xi knows xi’s pronouns are confusing, so xi would like to put xi’s pronouns in xi’s displayname to clear things up.

    Reading this is a little confusing; I am trying to map the pronoun to the usual grammatical structure and it is difficult.

    It would be good if there was another line in this image for 3rd person, gender neutral pronouns.

    What should be in that imaginary line

  • I love that Master Boot Record, implies that at some point a group of Artificer-Cobblers created the "Master Boots"; a set of legendary items so powerful that a magical record was also created to track their whereabouts, lest they fall into the wrong hands.

    For the next 24hours; nothing about the targets identity may be discovered by magical or mundane means. Anyone inquiring about the target has a plausible and consistent story placed in their mind instead; it doesn't matter what the target tells them or what they see.

    Someone with the Truesight ability; will know that there is magical concealment active, but will be unable to discern any details about the target.

    On a failed save the targets head evaporates killing them outright.
    On a success roll a d4 (or higher for higher number of limbs) and the limb clockwise from the head evaporates. Dealing either 25% or 150HP which ever is higher damage.

    The highest DC voltage I have been near is around 1000V, it didn't buzz, but 1000V AC also doesn't buzz....

  • In some way it is comforting, you know the power is where it is supposed to be... Walking around a 11kV switchyard that buzz is good.

  • Putin issues a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine
  • Yes, but I believe you about the fart.

  • Clever guy
  • At approx 3kV/mm, you would have to be pretty close to a 10kV fence.

    Humidity plays a big role as does the frequency that the fence is running on. But you would be pretty safe standing a meter away, on that dry sunny day in the picture.

    Also above a point, the high voltage causes the conductors to buzz.

  • Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
  • Agreed.

    And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive....

    Best build to create Esmeralda Weatherwax

    As the title says.

    If you don't know the discworld books by Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax it the most formidable character. She is a witch, but doesn't generally use magic to solve problems; preferring to use persuasion and manipulation. In saying that her magic is extremely powerful.

    Maybe a bard with huge wisdom, persuasion and intimidation.

    NZ First Minister Casey Costello orders 50% cut to excise tax on heated tobacco products

    Casey Costello's order to halve the tax is "something that tobacco companies would have been keen to see," an expert says.

    NZ First Minister Casey Costello orders 50% cut to excise tax on heated tobacco products

    Not sure if this is a good thing or not.

    HTP's may help stop smoking, or just as likely (in my opinion) increase the rate of people starting.

    Seems like a win for the tobacco industry either way.
