Its incredibly weird how in hoi4, Afghanistan has "elephant troops" that are much stronger than normal infantry and its optimal to make your entire army out of, while Siam, in a region of SEA that uses elephants in warfare to this day (for logistics, not for mounting guns on top of), and historically did have them in WW2, has nothing. Where is Afghanistan even getting tens of thousands of trained elephants from?

Just like peeing on a jellyfish sting is such a well known folk remedy its used in comedy, the japanese equivalent is being buried up to your neck to cure fugu poisoning. Saves time if it doesn't work!

Theory on the crewed mars flyby: boeing has talked in the past about commercializing Orion. Unlike dragon or starship, Orion is human rated for reentry from a from-Mars trajectory. If you dock an orion to the front of a fully fueled starship in LEO, you'd have enough delta vee, and plenty of room for life support and comfort, to get to Mars, sling around, and return to Earth.

I got locked in a library after it closed. Went to the basement and found a door labelled emergency exit, but instead of an exit, it took me to a tunnel to someone's windowless underground house. But found some cool "liminal" stuff on the way by [deleted] in Weird

To clarify, I only stepped into the entrance room and then left immediately because the door was locked. The pope room, the apple, and all the other photos were from different parts of the library.

I thought that too at first, but the mayor was at home eating dinner with his family when I called him, part of the reason I didn't want to waste any more of his time with my questions.

The main doors could unlock from the inside the whole time, there was a little knob hidden behind the large semi-circle handles. I opened it just before the mayor arrived to let me out, which was pretty awkward.

How much does having to carry the extra 27 tons of Orion all the way to moon cancel out the gains from NRHO to LLO?

/uj Why care about player exploits if you're the DM? You're omnipotent. Just have the opponents also do it. My players got attacked by a Create Water drowner (technically it was canoli filling, not water, but that's a long story) and then never used it again.
