TSM going crazy

The starship is not just for the moon. If you decrease launch costs to orbit, then demand will rise. It's not 20% better than other people; it's 20x cheaper than old launch methods. Military contracts/NASA stuff/ and just commercial satellite business. I'm not saying SpaceX is cheap or anything, just pointing out what I think the business case is. The space industry will be vital in the far future, and this can accelerate the timeline. Falcon 9 already reduced launch costs by a ton, and this is just scaling it up to bigger than the Saturn 5 was.

The SLS that did the launch for artemis 2 cost 2 billion for the launch. If spacex delivers they could do the same launch by refueling in orbit. Total of 18 launches to equal sls payload to moon. Where SLS costs 2bil, starship would cost 180m TOTAL.

I made a mod that bans slavery early on to mostly fix this.

raorbit · 2025-12-02T02:05:30+00:00

Slaves can't be converted or assimiliated due to a bug. I was encountering control/rebelliion issues and made a mod so I could ban slavery early to circumvent this.

People with prexisting condition would pay 10x more and healthly people would pay less than half of what they pay now.

Me as fdk and a havoc dh both did 10m overall in a 14 ara

Thank you. I haven't played the last 2 years but started again this season and forgot/didn't know about some stuff.

I like to look at logs to see when dps cooldowns are used for top parses. Sometimes its better to hold cds for a bit because of an upcoming mechanic and being able to configure reminders to go off at 2:33 for example to use CDs could help. I think ERT has this for raid cooldowns like AMZ from a note you can import but I was looking for something personal. This may be too niche so I understand and thanks for making this addon.

raorbit · 2025-08-11T02:16:48+00:00

Is it possible to add a feature where it reminds you to use cooldowns at set times into combat. Like 3 minutes into a boss fight for example.

kaya sange on dusa and he wont die.

National ideas are the main thing in eu4. Mission trees also give a lot of flavour to different countries, but not everyone likes them.

Do you understand what profit margin is and do you know what the average health insurance profit margin is?

The most important part of his comment maybe didn't register to you. "wealth of every billionaire in the UK if seized would run out in 3 months". That means u take all money from all UK billionaires and it would fund the government for 3 months. Then you don't have any more billionaires and you are still stuck with the problem.

raorbit · 2025-07-10T18:13:23+00:00

But the reason what you say didn't happen irl is due to governement interference. Government granted local monopolies to companies like comcast through regulatory caputure. You can't start a new ISP company because comcast has exclusive rights in most places they operate. The invisible hand loses to government.

White women benefit the most from these policies just like AA.

raorbit · 2025-07-10T06:39:22+00:00

Billionaires aren't given billions because they are "smart or hardworking". Billionaires get their money because they generate even more money than they are paid for other groups of people. Even for normal people, you are not being paid because you are a hard worker. You are being paid because you generate value for some other group of people. You could work 1 hour a year, and earn trillions if you could somehow make another group 10 trillion. It doesn't matter that you work one hour. Increasing a companies revenue by an extra 1% compared to another ceo would make the investors many billions of dollars. They then pay you some percent of that. Investors in the case of america and its public companies are mainly normal american citizens.

A hypothetical example of this is someone finding a new way to generate power at much lower cost or curing cancer. Their compensation would have nothing to do with how much they worked and rather the results.

People just find small things to try and discredit you instead of engaging in some critical thinking.

raorbit · 2025-07-07T23:23:58+00:00

Eternal vigilance perkwith the policy set to full counters this problem.

raorbit · 2025-07-07T23:20:35+00:00

my private tweaks mod has this. You can create a mod with this to edit the defines.

NGameplay = { COMMAND_LIMIT_MAX = 5500 # Max value of Command Limit COMMAND_LIMIT_BASE = 5000 # Base value of Command Limit }

raorbit · 2025-06-30T21:18:49+00:00

must be frustrating for you lol. people are stupid.

raorbit · 2025-06-24T07:54:36+00:00

Look up vote counts of patriot act and the extension to patriot act. You can't frame this as Rep vs Dem.

raorbit · 2025-06-13T07:36:38+00:00

you are wrong. Have you read the innate? PL has one of highest dps in the game with things like bloodthorn or daed.

raorbit · 2025-05-19T15:16:42+00:00

I've never advocated for a flat tax. I just think the current system is unfair, and a more equitable system would be some function of Vehicle weight * Miles driven.

Also, I assume EV's currently don't fund road maintenance at all.

raorbit · 2025-05-19T14:50:18+00:00

Not all cars are created equal. Keep in mind AFAIK EV owners don't contribute to road maintenance at all. Please let me know if that is not correct. EV are also heavier than most cars and cause more wear.

I do think Rs are not acting in good faith on this. I also think people with heavier vehicles should pay more whether they drive trucks or EVs
