    some notes, the 2Bil may be misinformation, but I will instead ignore that and just use the subsidies to the oil industry.

    We could give every single human living in the US (even babies) that $1500 and it would be 130b cheaper than oil subsidies according to forbes.

    We could give every household in the US (127,482,865 according to US census) $5,100 for what we spend on oil subsidies yearly.

    Please note those numbers are from 2015 so its likely much higher now, but a quick google didn’t give me exact numbers for the US and I’m too lazy to go into that. (it would likely be closer to $7000 per household)


  • These are instructions for those who are picky about stuff.

    Just cook in it. After cooking, wipe it out. If its bad, when pre-heating I pull it off to put some water and rub with a pad with minimal soap, rinse that off, and back on the hob. Wow 15s of work before cooking. The horror.

    The instructions rumba gave were “if you absolutely fuck up, here are easy ways to fix that so you don’t have to buy a new one”










  • General question, because I don’t give a shit about blockchain to research it.

    Does it have a way to quickly and effectively handle fraud? And don’t tell me “there’s no way to commit fraud” because people can steal wallet passwords no fucking problem. With most banks they will actively track fraud, cancel those transactions, and restore your funds and possibly shut down the card automatically while still allowing the account to exist so you can access your money. Is that the case with blockchain?








  • I think it would work if designed better. (Which WotR is.) Kingmaker tried but it was also basically expected you do pretty much everything in order to be able to keep up. If you’re going to put in time constraints it’s gotta have A: choices that matter and lock people out of things and B: a much more relaxed XP curve so people don’t feel forced into doing ALL OF IT.

    WotR had a section where each thing you looted lead to more soldiers being killed, which is a great example. Most of the game isn’t that urgent at all, but does lock you into choices that actually affect the entire story which is cool.


  • Wrath of the righteous has less time constraints but definitely has some in there still. (People were not happy with how tight some of those were in kingmaker cuz they wanted to explore everything.)

    First large battle happens after a few days and you’re basically dragged there the night before if you weren’t there. There are things you could have explored before that change things etc.

    The best ending requires you to finish on an exact date.

    Anyways this is to say definitely play WotR it is an amazing game. Much better than kingmaker.
