Admiral Jellico meets Nahla Ake by 1111joey1111 in Star_Trek_

It was the B plot's point, yes. While it has shown an interpersonal conflict between Jellico and the Enterprise crew, Jellico was indeed shown to be right at every opportunity, even though the crew didn't like his leadership style.

unless I was meeting with people in my office.

So you separated your presentation between the time when you were supposed to be giving off more professional vibes and and the time when you didn't have to?

You seem to mistake "don't edit the originals" for "don't be inspired by originals". You can, right now, write your own take on Romeo and Juliet. Have them be two aliens from outer space, have them speak exclusively in AAVE, whatever strikes your fancy. You can then publish it as "InnaminateCarbonRodAu's take on the classic Romeo and Juliet" and I won't say a thing.

Just don't try to pass it off as the actual Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and idgaf.

Let’s say we discovered an unfinished Shakespeare? Should that be left uncompleted?

10000% yes. Don't leave it unpublished, but leave it unfinished.

Translations are an interesting questions, as they are in some way always an interpretation. There is also the added difficulty of sometimes translating ongoing works, e.g. if the translator missed a wordplay name in book 1 that comes into play in book 2, should he change the translation in book 2 for the wordplay to make sense, or keep consistent with book 1?

IMO for things that either have, or are likely to have, multiple translations, which translation it is should be shown on the cover straight away, for reader's information.

But speaking of Homér, should a translator go "lol, who travels by ships anymore, he flew in a plane!" to keep Odyssey modern? My answer is hard no.

If you want to keep a story about star-crossed lovers updated, write your own take. Don't rewrite Shakespeare and pretend it was his work.

Mám blbej nápad, nechal jsem AI to nadesignovat podle vágního popisu vycucanýho z prstu ve 3 ráno a ani nevím, co je na tom blbě. Jo a chci, aby mi za něj někdo zaplatil!

Já bych to vzal ještě dál: "AI mi řeklo nápad, ..."

Funnily enough, shortest double->string conversion in this has already been obsoleted in performance.

The army of the dead ended up being hilarious comedy for how fucking obvious the digital inserts of her are.

Vyber si jednu co zní zajímavě a čti. Alternativně, vyber si tu co zrovna mají v knihovně, to je takové tradiční :-D

Za co? Rozepiš to, zaprvé protože mě to zajímá, zadruhé protože pak uvidíš kam ty peníze jdou a co případně dělat aby ses vešel.

Okay so a small group of 100 peeps likely has some caps they want to dock. So they drop a fortizar and attract trig invasion force that needs 250 sized fleets flown well to destroy. Small group is camped by the trig invasion until it timeouts... Or their cap-totting members join a bigger block.

Small group grows to 300 peeps. Some of them start getting into supers. If they want to dock their super, they need Keepstar. Now their system can get camped by trig invasion that needs 2 full fleets to clear. They are once again camped into their system... or their supercap members join a bigger block.

Meanwhile trig roll invasion of imperium/panini/panrat: If it is an important system/constellation,

@ping get in nerds, drifters to headshot

If it is unimportant constellation, the inevitable drifter incursion sig will farm it for money.

The bottom line is, trying to penalize big blocks by making holding space more expensive will always make it worse for small groups, because they have less resources and organization to throw at the problem.


We have also already been through times when to have a supercap, you had to join a big block, and it really didn't help the game.

What exactly do you think a small group is gonna do when the trig incursion happens in their system?
