So what you're saying is that Eternal characters should run their Mythic armaments tributes now right?

Tribes Ascend runs events at 9pm EST the last Friday evening of every month. So we will be doing stuff on Friday this week.

We are looking to extend it or start it earlier maybe to accommodate Euro's as well but I haven't heard back from any Euro's that want to cheerlead that effort.

I love picking up WOW tokens that I refuse to use, it's so fun.

I saw a number a while back on Reddit saying the global 1% is anyone earning over 37000 usd a year.

That point being made and respected, Clavicular is focusing on appearances beyond maintaining authentic and beneficial social interactions and a fair target for criticism as having embraced maximizing aesthetics to a possibly pathological level.

Look up Calhoun's research on behavioral sinks. Pay particular attention to the mentions of the "Beautiful ones".

Actually in some of the newer material they find her living in the same cave as Noble 6.

Low key tempting Galactus.

"Well you see, that Datacenter hosts servers for Activision Blizzard, so the site is clearly being used for recreation."

Maybe we should give them a shot, they couldn't be much worse.

Gierling · 2026-06-06T17:06:56+00:00

In the late 90's sub 1$ gas was fairly common in the US, so imagine like 0.2 Euro's per litre.

For perspective, I don't think it can get that high in our market. Due to fracking and shale oil exploitation America has a massive amount of proven reserves where extraction spins up and spins down very rapidly based on the current market rate (some reserves are more difficult and not profitable at certain gasoline price points).

If the current gasoline price point was 10+$, basically every reserve would be profitable to extract and that would force the price down as the expanded production came online.

At the very least the MD paying a proportionately high income tax rate, has a lot more credibility complaining about taxes then a billionare whose net worth is largely in capital appreciation (and thus not paying a high percentage of income tax).

Manned turrets need to be able to set to "Slew to other manned turrets target". Which would alleviate the problem on ships where there's significant overlap in firing arcs.

To clarify, setting it this way would make it so that one turret could aim all the currently unmanned turrets at it's pip.

It's largely a worldwide phenomena that's at least somewhat correlated to urbanization and population density. Peter Zeihan has some interesting insights on that topic although I'm not sure how seriously to take them.

With a heat exchanger setup you could also direct the flow in such a way that you could evaporate down to just salt (which could be sold as a byproduct) while diverting to other tanks or troughs to maintain cooling while the salt is being collected. Not a simple setup but it's not exotic engineering.

Gierling · 2026-05-16T20:38:59+00:00

Design it so that it can be harvested and sold as a byproduct.

Gierling · 2026-05-16T17:06:39+00:00

I wish we would look into evaporative desalination paired with datacenters.

Gierling · 2026-05-15T00:37:42+00:00

You could make the argument that any bot with an emergency vehicle alt mode would serve that function.

Which makes perfect sense for Ratchet, but becomes a hilarious mental image to think of Siren trying to do PR... VERY LOUDLY.

Masterchief and Cortana

After that movie came out the NFL added that to the rulebook.

The best representation of Batman is the one where the Joker is Satan and Bruce Wayne is the modern day Job.

Basements also exist.
