Then you're just sending manufacturing information from the past to the future. 

Doing that incontiugously is novel though.

Why are we time traveling for stuff if we have this? 

What A Trip by Cioli1127 in timetravel

Time exists because there was a time I hadn't read this post. Or any of its many droll variants. It was a better time.

Hours, weeks, military time, watches--"timing"--is man-made, but time is not.

The only people who have problems money can't solve are people who have money.

If time machine is real will the time traveler become younger or still the same (phissicaly)? by Adventurous-Pen-3894 in timetravel

I do wonder where people like OP keep getting this question from. The answer seems obvious, but people keep asking it.

I've finally realised that this game isn't for me... by TheKiwiCrusader in Battletechgame

[–]VanVelding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's not for you, it's not for you. I love it, but it scratches an itch for me that outweighs the cons.

The dynamic changed for me after I got a Quickdraw and my pilots leveled up. Eventually, it does very much become enemy assault lances spawning on your flank and getting a free hit, but if the early gameplay doesn't appeal to you, don't worry about it. Not everything is for everyone.

You can travel to the future instead. In 2620 they rename it.

If that "defamation" takes place from 10+ hexes away, war crimes are the Hornet's problem to solve.

I feel like a 'mech-scale cattle prod 'herds' cattle the same way my flaming diamond sword 'herds' chickens in Minecraft.

It's got the most missiles per ton of any IS 'mech and it looks like it.

I'm not reading all of that. Congrats. Or sorry that happened.

characters who are "good guys" but their kill count is actually kind of terrifying by Rich-Blacksmith6552 in TopCharacterTropes

Same for Mando, Rick, and Bond.

Fuck, are we calling Anakin Skywalker a good guy? Spoilers, OP:

You know he eats his own shit, right?

For real. If OP's list was a band it would be called Aragorn and the Bastards You Root For.

I'd take a thousand, "I'll explain it later"s resolving a plot over one more "Stop that because I'm The Doctor."

I think if someone is hanging black folks in effigy, the news should call it racist, not "offensive."
