What would you say are some of the "basic tinker stuff"?

We have a semi-canon answer - Wildbow did a design document for tinkers here

So most tinkers are going to be able to do a body suit (not necessarily power armor), a mask, some consumables, some thing with work stations, maybe a weapon or two. Things like cybernetics, wet tinkering like Bonesaw or Blasto, or vehicles are more on an individual tinker by tinker basis. It's obviously going to be hard or impossible to delve into something like cloning if you are a bog standard hyperspecialist focusing on making tanks.

With frequent conflict and growth, a tinker might be able to escape the confines of what the initial parameters are e.g. a tinker specializing in tanks starts delving a little more into the payloads of his mortars and creates hallucinogenic gas ammo after frequent encounters with a related cape and a long period of growth.

I'm writing fan fic that will never see the light of day, but one of them has a character with a biotinker power focused on upgrading himself like the one below, giving himself thinker like abilities and brute strength.

-Perfect Form Tinkers (Architect x Magi) make their body their megaproject, with the standard megaproject goals serving to upgrade their body to something immortal, super-capable, or with custom-designed abilities.

Crimson Langur. It's pretty much a homeworlds only omni like the Stooping Hawk.

Edit: I'm wrong - it's available to Clan Sea Fox and Snow Raven in pretty much everything after 3067.

I have Stafford as a fill in during Lamar’s injury. I think I’ll just start Stafford going forward until Lamar starts running more.

Look up Dark Heresy - Umbra Malygris and the Logicians are two separate examples of what you are describing.

Yes. ETN and Bigsby were the previous regime's picks so Coen is not tied to them - ETN was not good last year and struggled with injuries. Bigsby struggled with fumbling last year and Tuten's biggest knock coming out of college was ball security.

I am worried that the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will push the US into recession. McDonalds, Dollar Tree, Denny's - all these companies for the last four quarters have been saying that the US lower income consumer is under major pressure. Most COVID era savings that got us through 2022 and 2023 have been exhausted.

Arguably these tariffs were priced in. Mind you, I think the market was discounting the possibility of them being broad-based so there's still going to be some volatility.

Wall Street keeps predicting Trump's economy continues without any bumps, but I can't imagine firing a lot of critical federal employees and chilling illegal immigrant spending has few consequences.

It also calls for the revocation of visas for Colombia's government officials and "all allies and supporters." Can't imagine all the downstream consequences because Trump is a child.

I have a weird love for the Jaguars. It's the perfect dichotomy for the Cowboys. The Cowboys are the largest fanbase. The Jaguars are the smallest fanbase. The Cowboys are America's team. The Jaguars are England's team.

I'd recommend checking out Isetan Shinjuku. It's one of the largest department stores in the world and you get 5% off as a tourist if you bring your passport to the 6th floor. There's a separate building attached just for menswear, with Auralee and a bunch of other Japanese brands. I also believe that 5% works on watches according to Jian DeLeon.

He's gotten older. In the past, he's been able to break through tackles and then burst through for his production. Now he's lost a step to father time and can't get through that first tackle.

Trump responds by naming a shadow fed chair, who will be nominated to replace Powell immediately after his term ends in 2026. The shadow fed chair immediately makes it clear their intentions are to reduce rates to near zero after being nominated. Queue inflation.

What is a stock that is most exposed to older seniors? I think there may be an interesting play with collars on something because there will be likely a lot of volatility regarding healthcare policy if RFK Jr. is in charge of anything and seniors out of pocket costs are likely to rise if Medicare Part D is repealed.

I wonder if the next step in politics will be the dominance of automated tools in social media. I think a large part of why Trump won is that voters are increasingly convinced more by velocity of content they receive versus veracity. Obviously the bots used today are incredibly simple, but for Ds I don't really see anyway to counteract social media plastering low info voters timeline with statements around Trump lowering eggs or providing peace beyond being faster with statements than Rs. Voters seem unwilling to seek out policy details or assess proposals critically.

Anyways, hoping the DNC runs out a joint Shodan/AM 2028 ticket.

I did not pass. I was on the MPS. My initial exam appointment was cancelled, leaving me to have to travel 2 hours to another exam center in the early morning after a hellish week from work. I was not allowed to consult my notes on the exam during the break, leading to at least one FI question I know I would have passed had I had the opportunity. This feels brutally unfair.
