  • Every time you don't finish your antibiotics as perscribed, there is a risk of this mutation happening to the bacterial infection in you. And, ironically, the solution is to have the non-resistant bacteria overrun the area with infection, which chokes out the drug resistant bacteria. Unfortunately, that can't be done when a living creature is infected... but that does work with structures.

  • Title makes it sound like nobody's buying EV, but the truth is, everyone's getting that new Geely Xingyuan instead, and only one market saw an ICE car (a Nissan lol) break into the top 10 and pull a gain, while the other ICE car fell back to the bottom of the top 10.

  • And that's why lasers are the king of range. However, they can be a nuisance at a distance more than a threat, as they are easier to defeat with the right armor setup.

    That said, the big thing with kinetics is your effective range shrinks substantially, but it is much harder to defend against reliably. The way to use kinetics is get close, take advantage of enemy weakspots.

    2: assuming no handwavium drives, engagement range is always the outer edge of the plane between the targeting system's minimum precision and maximum traverse rate, shot travel time and ability versus the opponent's ability to react and evade said shot.

    3: they've been carrying beef for centuries? Their grandkids will be the ones to do the fighting.

    Lasers can reach the furthest with minimal ability to anticipate an attack (lasers can be seen preparing to fire, like aiming, dust covers retracting, etc.), but kinetic weapons bring more pain if you can get close enough. Getting close is difficult if there is no FTL, since you and your bullets / missiles can be spotted and plotted well in advance of your arrival.
