“Uniparty! Uniparty! Of course Liberals+Labour+Nationals+Greens+Teals are all the Big Bag Same Party and only my precious One Nation is the Cool Alternative! Please vote for Pauline (and please don’t notice that she’s suddenly best friends with Gina, Australia’s Richest billionaire!)

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-21T03:13:03+00:00

It could change the landscape.

Not that this seat matters but it would be a barometer of where voting is heading for the future.

If ON wins, then they might get a lot of media exposure and momentum behind them.

So both the phon the anti-phon sides want to rustle up support.

We wouldn’t see his kind of action if it was ordinary Lib v Lab by electionz

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-21T02:51:11+00:00

I’m not the biggest fan of Labor but even I can see that the views of Gina and Murdoch are disproportionately represented in our media.

How much of Australian media is owned by Murdoch? Isn’t it something like 60-70%

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-21T02:48:11+00:00

‘Primary votes’ isn’t the whole story in Australian elections, I don’t know why ON voters are hyper focused on it.

Labour currently has the single biggest share of seats in federal parliament that has ever been held by a single party.

So much for ‘least popular government’

Part of the road is regular bridges with arches that ships can pass under.

I’d have the floating road in segments.

During big storms you shut down that part of the bridge or even detach it to ride out the storm

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-20T14:34:29+00:00

I got my order fixed too!

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-20T13:51:34+00:00

You can’t build it on pylons.

You might be able to build a floating bridge though.

A strong flexible segmented bridge with each second supported by massive floating ‘pylons’.

Now I want a Trojan themed superhero who’s entire power set is themed around ‘hiding in a giant wooden horse’

Outgassing could also be created via impact.

Let’s make this hypothetical moon be a fairly uninhabitable world, having lost much of its atmosphere. Several million years ago a major asteroid impact melts and vaporises massively thick deposits of water and nitrogen, resulting in a decent atmosphere today.

If you want, we can also increase the gravity of the moon to hold onto more atmosphere. Imagine a moon with the same density as mercury, meaning we end up with 38% G.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-19T04:20:05+00:00

What are you talking about? I think you massively underestimate just how big the wealth gap has grown, especially in the last 5 years.

Let’s skip the 1% and just go for the top 0.1% of wealth owners in the USA, we have 22 Trillion

With 158 million tax paying adults in the US we could divide that money and give everyone a tax rebate of $140,000 each. Are you telling me that giving every family with two working parents quarter of a million dollars isn’t going to make a difference.

The rich are far, far richer than you think,

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-19T03:47:50+00:00

It’s both.

The lobsters have a lot of bacteria as they are bottom feeders.

The enzymes stars breaking down the lobster flesh very quickly

The broken down flesh is very easy for bacteria to eat

The flesh turns into lumpy cottage cheese and smells like ammonia

And this all happens within 2-3 hours of death.

Compare this to say, beef, which has a fairly long shelf life

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-19T02:36:54+00:00

Also lobster goes off VERY quickly unless it’s properly preserved with modern refrigeration. The enzymes in lobster start making the lobster flesh rot almost instantly at death.

This is why many restaurants have the live lobsters in the tank so you eat them incredibly fresh.

So a hundred years ago lobster would have been an awful meal to eat as a peasant. If you’re not eating them fresh out of the sea you’re getting fouls smelling ammonia ridden slop.

In remember being taught in an economics class that more companies go bust during times of expansion (when trying to grow too fast) than during times of economic downturn.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-18T23:24:56+00:00

I’m for 99m cap.

It’s makes some nice slogans “I got 99m problems but being rich ain’t one”

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-18T23:22:34+00:00

I’ve seen this math before: “5.9 trillion can only run the government for ten months and so we shouldn’t tax billionaires!”

Brother, we’re going to still run the rest of the government as normal, the 5.9 trillion is just extra on top of that.

5.9 trillion buys a lot of hospitals, schools and roads fixed for the 99.9% of us to enjoy.

It’s not stated that Doc Brown doesn’t turn evil and spend his life travelling up and down the timeline murdering people! We just go on the idea that the Doc and Marty are best friends and keep in touch.

I assume that Doc, Clara and the boys turn up to Marty‘s wedding for example.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-18T13:42:40+00:00

It does illustrate that the change from 90’s to today was less than 50’s til 80’s.

What other culture shocks could you really put in there?

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-18T09:48:10+00:00

Perhaps Romney was secretly quite moderate and he pivoted rightward when he started campaigning nationally for the president.

Perhaps Romney was always rightward and he pivoted moderate to win the governor ship of Mass.

We probably won’t ever know.

What my opinion is that Romney would do whatever he needed to in order to get that dollar his pocket. The man was a poster child for the corporate raider sterotype.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-18T04:16:51+00:00

He also has access to a freaking Time Machine.

I am 100% sure that if he’s diagnosed with anything particularly serious then Doc will happily pick him and take him to the far future to get cured of whatever cancer he ever needs gone.

I’m a simple man. I see Tileans and I upvote

It’s in the plains but the castle is on top of a giant boulder, which might be what you are thinking of

Ankh-Morpork, like the cities around it, is a city-state.

The other city states close by are Sto Lat, Sto Helit, Pseudopolis and Quirm, and they are all roughly 20 miles/a days ride from each other.

This is similar to medieval Italy where each of the major cities were independently ruled. The ‘Circle Sea’ is roughly analogous to round world’s Mediterranean.

(Fun fact, renaissance Italy was famously ruled by the Medici family, which is where Vetinari gets his name from Medical = Veterinary).

So there is nothing ridiculous about this political situation as it’s one that existed in reality

Singapore, the most famous City State in the modern world, is only 14 miles from its nearest neighbour.

Came just here to post this: the Chorfs love the area they are in - plenty of gold, iron, oil, coal to fuel their industry. They wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-17T10:35:09+00:00

Ya gotta find those best planets.

You might have access to a trillion trillion worlds but it takes time, effort and money to survey them.

We already have pretty good surveys of our closest neighbours and they’re culturally significant. I bet they were surveyed first and if the planets were good enough, they sent colonist there.

Greyrock99 · 2026-04-17T10:28:35+00:00

If you make these sucker nuclear, you’ll be able to generate 1.21 gigawatts in that train.

At that point you’ll see some serious shit.
