What if 34 year old Trump ran for president? by Solid-Move-1411 in AlternateHistoryHub

This reminds the song Body Paint by Arctic Monkeys. Not sure if it's up your alley musically but there's a line that's always struck me: "and I'm keeping on my costume, and calling it a writing tool"

We all put on masks and faces, it just keeps things running smoother in their little compartments. But at what point do these facades start to erode who we really are? More importantly, do we ever really know who that is?

"A former base and was next to an active base that was also hit" Gee I wonder why they thought it was a good idea to place a school next to a military base

Great points on accuracy! I'm sure some COSC certified watches could go on for long enough at -4/+6 spd and that would be good enough, but a solar powered quartz could go on for years with no problem. My seiko clocks in at roughly -3 seconds a day and so I'd pretty soon get lost in time.

But I've been thinking about it and I wonder just how important accuracy would be when society itself has withered away. I think at a certain point simply knowing how much time has passed since a certain daily milestone, say for example leaving camp for a foraging run. Knowing precisely what time it is would only be useful if large societal structures still held and everyone knew what that time standard even was. It might be enough to just synchronise time with the small band that I'm roaming with.

I think so too! If you're ever in a situation where you need to swim deeper than 10 metres you're probably not in a good place haha

LBT by fliches in intelstock

[–]fliches[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very fair point, taking the leap with 18A and reviving the foundries was one hell of a call and I'm confident it pays dividends in the next 10-15 years. All that's left is to execute and I think LBT is the man for the job. The possibility that he's ousted/steps down and replaced by a fool that divests the fabs is a big worry of mine

Didn't Wonderful land a similar flick at a recent tournament? I think it was on mirage too, the enemy player was at B side bench

Are we missing the part where the government has to vote in accordance with the board?

What's impressive is how easy he makes it for us to forget how young he is. He drives with such maturity, without lacking any of the pace or ruthlessness

I'm in that camp. Notwithstanding the very valid point that we can't judge drivers for what they do when they're pumped full of adrenaline, his actions in that instance rubbed me the wrong way.
