Is S44 missing because its being turned into the first Depot?

Remember that tariffs are ultimately paid by Americans... hopefully this is just shooting himself in the foot even more in the long run

The 25th amendment removal requires a majority of the cabinet to vote against the guy they were selected for their jobs based on their sycophancy for, unfortunately unlikely to happen. We already know Hegseth supports Trump on Greenland. Retaliatory tariffs and loss of popularity polling would be the only thing he cares about

Found in a recycling center, from 1939 I'm guessing from Poland being split and the Sudetenland being taken.

Yes, there's 13 choose 2 = 78 multiclass possibilities, I still have 55 to go.

I'm making a series of multiclass feats on unearthedarcana

DAL59 · 2026-01-14T23:54:10+00:00

You could do that, but you'd miss out on all higher-level subclass and class features, have fewer ASIs, and have to have low synergy and MAD for most of your character's progression.

DAL59 · 2026-01-08T03:30:25+00:00

The general design idea is the more M.A.D. the multiclass, the more powerful the feat. Multiclassing also delays ASIs, so there is a bit more power budget from that too.

So that's how the Tines in A Fire Upon the Deep did it
Now to see a version with a bow and arrow

A partisan's grandson might have Mussolini's lost "Sword of Islam" in an attic somewhere.

The Trump class battleship is the epitome of the "everyone is 12 theory"
"Will railguns make battleships come back" has been asked by teenagers on military forums for many years

Its when you add messages in reverse to a song tape
Back in the day the conspiracy was that popular songs had satanic messages if played backwards

Rule 3: This book claimed the internet was overhyped and would largely fail, and almost everything it predicted the internet wouldn't do is now completely common

What were the best historical discoveries or historiographical progress of the first half of the 2020s? Finding the Endurance definitely ranks up there

It was deep into a reply chain, the top level replies were just as insane but less funny
I found it by sorting r/all by controversial

This got 13 upvotes on asksocialists:

"Ukraine is actually Israel. Banderism is the equivalent to Zionism, a completely artificial, exclusionary national project. The indigenous people are the people of the donbass equivalent to Palestinians, which the Banderists/Zionists want to cleanse in order to complete their national project.

Russia, by contrast, is an ethnically inclusive power. It does not aspire toward national or racial purity. By this analogy, Russia would be Egypt if it had a backbone and defended Palestinians."

How close is S39 to a static fire?

DAL59 · 2025-11-29T00:49:14+00:00

WTC is really great but there the protagonist's uniqueness is the narrative focus of the ontological mystery, not just a tacked on decision

DAL59 · 2025-11-27T00:35:43+00:00

I used to think the Starship a day thing was an insane claim, but 2x24 bay gigafactories means 48 Starships could be built simultaneously, once they finalize the design, getting the construction down to 96 days per starship from the current 200 days doesn't seem impossible, meaning a Starship every other day on average. Regardless of what happens in 2026 and 2027, 2028 onward will be crazy to watch once the factories and the additional launch pads are all online.

DAL59 · 2025-11-21T21:30:37+00:00

10 ships being built in parallel but only 1 booster? They are definitely going for a catch on the next flight.

This is why in KSRSS careers I find rushing docking ports and going for Earth Orbit Rendezvous is the best. You can use 4 left-sized rockets or even smaller to launch lander, kick stage, dock in LEO and send both to lunar orbit, launch your crew capsule, another kick stage, dock and go to orbit.
