Larry isn't a young cat. Steps need to be taken to ensure continuity of government.

I think this is headline is improved if you read 'Men' in the same way that Tolkien ment it. Makes it sound like it's a cultural thing rather than just the ol' prison pocket.

Maybe, though I feel like this is a pretty extreme solution. It is the government though.

The amount of times I've heard someone say 'its for the farmers' as if farmers have ever given a fuck what the clock says.

A pretty nice desk I'm told.

There are also several parties interested in contact details for dumb as hell audience who don't mind giving money to obvious scammers.

Labour conditions shouldn't need regulation, we should just recognise another being's suffering.

Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.

I'm sorry I can't hear you over the sound of the bridges I'm burning.

Actually, we had one. Only people with enough time and energy to use it was management. Pool table too, which got slightly more play on account of it being slower paced.

My point is, for about the cost of an easy solution (that, frankly is a lot harder to undo if done wrong) you could equip them to do it right, practice the skill you want to inspire and not plant the false idea that soldering is some difficult thing that the beginner should avoid.

There is no amount of money my last job could have paid me to stay once I made up my mind to leave. If it is about money it means you have been drastically underpaying them.

You can get conductive adhesives but it would probably be cheaper to just include a soldering iron in the kit... I'm not sure I would be confident in getting good contact with self adhesive metal tape, your best option there is to probably get a small amount and experiment.

Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.

Intended purpose? Probably to be sold to people who don't know about modern USB specs.

Actual use case? Monopole antenna?

Retro is I find something you are just too young to have have experienced directly. It is your older brother's cool. Yours is nostalgic; your parent's, vintage.

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Tea would be a herb.

The switchboard model is going to make it a lot worse than telepathy. Consider the action flow:

• Alice wants to send a message to Bob.
• Alice uses her action to send her message to Switch (who, let's assume is paid to give this job his sole attention.)
• Switch must then spend their action to send to Bob. Bob can freely reply.
• Switch must then spend another action to relay the reply back to Alice.

Switch at any point may need a message repeated costing another action for the sender, and is more likely to need a repeat when messages are sent in stressful situations.

If Switch has other duties, the party might need to arrange ahead of time that they are going to need the service. The service also lacks efficient broadcast capabilities. Each stone needs to be activated sequentially, and Switch can reasonably only be expected to understand one person talking at once.

I think it sits closer to telegraph than a moble phone. Depending on the kind of campaign it might represent a vulnerability that can be exploited.

Time is a flat circle, you know the destination but do you know how to get off?
