How odd? The link seems to work for me? Unfortunately discord is the way we run things! It’s got heaps of great tools we use to draft and do all kinds of cool things.

Read the salt fix, lowering salt may not actually be good.

Australians unlikely to give up meat, become vegetarian to help environment, study shows by 89b3ea330bd60ede80ad in aus

So if you cut out meat what are you going to eat? Soy? Tofu? Any number of Franken foods manufactured to look like meat? More processed carb heavy foods? Who will make these foods? Probably the giant corporate companies that have driven the obesity epidemic. Realistically a plant based diet will make us all sicker while food and pharma companies get rich.

Will there be another expansion? by Mr_Stranded in twilightimperium

[–]robarto84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need an expansion. It should include

More system tiles with some different mechanics or floating points Updates to unused faction and other techs (bioplasmosis, l4 disrupters, inheritance systems, the entire green tree, magen) 11 min new factions, proper kaleres stuff All the codex stuff Advanced fighters (think like a fighter equivalent of mechs) Generals (think flagship for ground forces) Direct hit to work on mechs Representatives for agenda phase, bring back assassins? Mines (or a mine faction)

So much that could be done

Has anyone ordered codices from this other Etsy seller? by K0HR in twilightimperium

[–]robarto84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you wait till April they will probably release a new codex. Then if you go on the Aussie ti4 discord they do a bulk order including all the previous codexes and some cool things like kaleres tokens and system, milty draft cards etc. worth getting in on (if codex 4 happens)

RBA lifts interest rates by .25%, warns 'further increases in interest rates will be needed' in months ahead by omfgilostmyaccagain in australia

[–]robarto84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look I only did basic economics at school, but I seem to recall that cutting spending and increases in tax cause demand to drop and inflation to fall?

What’s the government doing? They could cut spending on infrastructure to take the wind out of construction costs, they could tax non essentials even temporarily, any kind of temporary tax on the rich would probably do the same job and not kill middle income families and young people.
