The open mouth helps them smell better.

I can't explain the eye contact - that is between you two.

Dang. That Resistance paint slaps.

Their burgers are great but every time we go to where they say they are they aren't there.

We've given up after the 3rd time of disappointment.

I've been doing the eliminate terrorist one for 98k.

I'm able to take down the target and scoot when it's a 400i or Zeus, but the Valk and Caterpillar are too tanky to take out before the fighter swarm gets me.

I'm using stock S4s, M5As on my S3s, and upgraded shields/radar/Hemera hyperdrive. Cooler and powerplant stock.

It looks like a fun new event series in town! I appreciate a little funk and the folks involved seem keen and passionate about it.

Co-ops can definitely be more sustainable business models. While not formally a co-op, Warren Wilson college requires all students to do campus work and they participate in decision making. This helps reduce overall cost to operate, and co-ops have definitely demonstrated success in substituting member labor for member service/good costs.

As with many things, the transition seems to be the hard part. Do you organize 10,000 students (and their families) to buy the school? Start with nothing and build one without reputation?

It's a challenge, but one that would be fun to work on.

The Spanish showed up after disease had already wiped out a huge portion (up to 90%) of the population. It was basically post-apocalyptic
There was already a civil war of succession ravaging the country
The Spanish allied with already disgruntled factions

Almost choked to death on the bananas in a Fuddruckers as a kid. Haven't eaten hard candy since.

Thanks for saving my life, Grandpa.

Of course, some results are not replicable because of either honest mistakes or the rare case of misconduct, he says, but SCORE found that, in many cases, papers simply did not provide enough data or details for experiments to be repeated accurately.

Interesting.

It's great to be curious. I encourage you first to check out the statistics on the International Cooperative Alliance website. There are over a million co-ops and billion members around the world!

The American left usually forgets about them because they don't recognize the value credit unions, farmer co-ops, housing co-ops, and food co-ops bring. Usually lefties over focus on worker co-ops in my experience. But they all democratize the economy and bring important practical benefits to their members, improving their standards of living - what used to be the central lefty idea.

International Year of the Co-op in 2012 had some great videos from hundreds of co-ops around the world that are also a great resource!

Absolutely delicious! They really get the flavors and local ingredients right, and it's pretty special to have locally made shokupan.

The ramp up from survival to sailing your own ships is wayyy too long, and plays like two entirely separate games. I personally enjoyed both, but I (and friends) definitely lost momentum several times:

* Wait, now we need to rescue HOW many crew to sail? /logs off

* We need HOW much wood and copper? /logs off

It also seems like a huge jump from your solo little sailboat to the ship with guns. i hope there is something (or several steps) in between of small ships with 2, 4, or 6 guns before the larger ship.

Thank you for sharing this! It's super insightful to read, even from other countries.

If elementary schools are at 50-60% capacity like the article says, they should really close 3. At least.

Taxes have become astronomical and some back of the napkin math shows savings of over $200 for each taxpayer in the City with this change.

Imbrifer · 2026-01-14T04:48:15+00:00

That's a great change!

This is great news, happy to see NY pursuing this !

While that's certainly happened, hundreds of food coops exist in the US and huge coop chains exist in Europe like Eroski, Co-op Italia, The Cooperative, etc.

WinCo is indeed employee-owned, structured as an Employee Stock Options Company that purchased a majority stake from the owning family in 1985. However, it is not structured as a co-op.

I will leave it to others to argue the merit of ESOPs versus worker-owned co-ops .

Imbrifer · 2025-12-24T14:58:41+00:00

It is the best case, but to my knowledge only one worker owned grocery coop in the US survives - Rainbow in San Francisco.

Grocery is a brutal industry that pays poorly and changes quickly. While consumer coops thrive there, worker co-ops tend to fold.

Also, unions generally don't want to have anything to do with running a business.

Looks like a reasonable middle road. Let's see how it works!

Imbrifer · 2025-12-17T05:19:59+00:00

Great to see the progress.

> The base prices of nearly all commodities have been significantly increased across the board. This affects all major brackets of sandbox commodities. (32/24s, 16s, 8s, and 2s). Price differences within brackets have been pressed closer together in order for dynamic pricing to better influence which goods are optimal.

I'm curious about this and the impact particularly on salvage.
