They’re much less irritating to your skin. Disposable razor commercials sold the world on the idea that more blades=closer and smoother shave; when in reality they can really tear up your face and leave razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Steve’s videos helped me get into star trek, he makes really good essay content.

Wait till we tell you about our crescent rolls.

He’s a Wizard, Harry.

It’s like an Imperial Star Destroyer, but with grossly unregulated capitalism.

It’s weird how far it spreads man, back when I was still on Reddit I was banned from r/LateStageCapitalism for taking the audacious position that a nation that actively suppresses information, operates internment camps, and engages in totalitarian and dystopic surveillance of its populace is not an ideal model of government.

I have seen no indication that he had left the service, every report I have seen thus far has indicated that he was an active member of the US Army reserve serving as Sergeant First Class assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 304th Infantry Regiments in Saco, Maine.

Agreed.

“Should we build a hospital, or continue throwing our Ill and infirm from tall structures in the hopes that the mighty sky-god will cast a blessingupon them? This reporter can only gawk at the enormity of this issue, and the valid concerns presented by both the Doctors requesting adequate medical equipment and SNAAHRL, the shapeless Thing that lives in the dark chasm below the cliffside and definitely doesn’t eat corpses. A truly difficult decision awaits legislators”.

GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET!

Ironically, it’s at least in part because Venice is slowly drowning.

Little lost capybaras

It’s so good to be home T_T

Don’t worry, you will.

Prior to Podcast Addict I used Spotify for my podcasts. So, for me at least, it’s been a big improvement; though I’ll concede that’s a low bar to clear.

Excellent point! With your permission I’ll add it to the post as one of the prompts.

I used to pay for a reddit gold to support the site because Ai (naively) beloved it was a worthwhile investment in a website that connected disparate, niche communities and served as a repository of knowledge.

Don’t I look like an idiot now. Fuck u/spez

Agreed, and it will be well worth it.

My money says you’re right.

Time to learn how to host your own instance everybody.

I’ve used both RiF and Sync, and between the two of them I’d probably say Sync was my favorite. I hope both of the devs land on their feet, they produced amazing apps.

What methods of transport are available in your setting?

In the free city of Corbeaux, citizens may make use of a wide variety of transport systems.

The city has a robust elevated-rail system, the autorail. Each of the city’s districts has several stations available, and while it may not get you to your destination’s front door most locations are a relatively short trek from a station

Motor-carriages, while not unheard of, are rare; and used primarily by the wealthy residents of Les Fontaines. As much of the city’s infrastructure predates these vehicles, much of the city remains inaccessible via these means; and only the newest neighborhoods were designed with them in mind.

Airships are an extravagant, if impractical, way to reach your destination. Ranging from massive zeppelins to the more maneuverable auto-gyros; Corbeaux’s skies are littered with air traffic. Only the wealthiest districts are capable of maintaining the necessary infrastructure to operate sky-ports, and most of the traffic comes from outside the city-state.

Founded by Pirate Lords who conceived of the city as a friendly port where they could repair their ships and offload their ill-gotten gains; it is no surprise that maritime travel remains dominant. In fact, Corbeaux is the single most heavily trafficked maritime port on the continent of Asturica; and goods and people from all over the world may be found here.

*How does the upper-class travel? How does the lower class travel? *

Wealthy citizens of Corbeaux often prefer luxury to efficiency; an aristocrat from Les Fontaines may think nothing of turning a 30 minute commute into one of an hour or more provided it offers an opportunity to flaunt their fortune. Conversely, the poorer residents of Les Delabres primarily use the auto-rail or bicycles to get to and from work.

*How fast are the methods of transportation, how comfortable? *

On a good day, a citizen of Corbeaux can expect to spend roughly an hour and a half to get from one end of the city to another riding the autorail. The autorail is relatively sparse in amenities, but if you have the coin you can splurge on a more luxurious railcar ticket.

*Who controls the method of transport? Why/How? *

The autorail was built and maintained by the city-state’s government; which charges a nominal fee for it’s use. Ticket fares go back into maintenance of the infrastructure, expansion into new stations, and into the pockets of corrupt politicians.

Air travel in Corbeaux, as well as most of the world, is controlled by the immensely powerful and widespread Kaldric Consortium, the single most profitable corporate entity on the planet. The Kaldric Consortium began as a simple maritime trading company headquartered in (Britain Analouge I haven’t named yet); but it has grown over centuries to become a geopolitical entity significant enough to topple governments and enforce tyrannical trade agreements.

How safe are the methods of transportation in your setting?

Most auto-rail stations and cars are reasonably safe in Corbeaux… Provided the sun is still up. At night these facilities may be the prowling grounds of thieves, murderers, and any number of dark nameless creatures that hide beneath the city’s streets.

What resources does public transportation depend on in your setting? Are these resources readily available? Where do they come from?

Some sort of magical Coal Analouge, still playing around with ideas. Corbeaux’s status as a major port city ensures a steady supply, but it is unable to produce the raw materials itself and is thus dependent upon imports. A large portion of the industrial district is concerned with the refinement and deployment of these raw materials.
