The Apothecary Diaries
There are only four or five people you could be.
But that's besides the point. My point is, you deliberately brought up an identity you walked away from. This is narcissism, and of the same sort you see from the "born again" crowd. It's not enough for you to simply blow away your old identity and create a new one, you have to have an audience to the fact that you did.
You'd all know the name of my old account.
Grandstand the fuck more.
Yes, I am going to thwap you with this stick. You run away from your history and yet have to come back and be born again and talk about how you ran away from your history.
Your problem was always you, and it still is. Your behavior shows you haven't actually changed, and will repeat all the stupid shit you did before.
violent right wing civil uprising
Everyone knows that isn't even what would happen this time around.
This time what would happen is Texas will decide to openly nullify US law on border policy. The national guard will be used to secure the border. The president will sue Texas, the court will rule for the executive, and Texas will not give a shit. The president will revoke federal grants to Texas, and Texas won't give a shit.
The Union won't be broken through direct action, but through apathy and indifference.
and Set Boosters, distributed with randomized rarities
But an overall increase in card value, which is why draft buyers like yourself suddenly became an endangered species.
You may be all into draft, but if you are, and you're intellectually honest, you know that many people in draft are just there to grab some rares and play a couple matches. Which is why people hate rare redrafting.
No mention of Legend of the Galactic Heroes?
No, the original for PC.
X-Wing was the original, and then TIE Fighter was based on the same basic engine but with Gourad shading. X-Wing vs TIE Fighter reused the models but added textures. X-Wing Alliance represented the outer limits of what you could do with their CPU driven engine, and after that 3D accelerated games started appearing, like Freespace II and Independence War.
Trying to imagine how much you would rage about classic TIE Fighter.
Or SMAC. You'll have a network node and be building your first colony pod and Miriam will roll up on you with twenty infantry.
Yes, games were harder back in the day. It was good.
Thread about Workflows
Expected thread about high performance asynchronous data buses in highly parallelized game applications.
Got thread about how stupid artists organize their stupid work.
Immensely disappointed.
And tomorrow Google will announce sunsetting both and replacing them with a hitherto unannounced third app store and sixth wallet system.
Starting to think they must give new employees a copy of Old Yeller in their welcome packet.
DC power cannot be transmitted over long distances. This is the original problem that caused AC to win out.
There are two forms of load, inductive and resistive, and two corresponding types of power, reactive and real. If we use a rowboat analogy, real power can be thought of as the oscillation of the oars back and forth, while reactive power becomes the force of the oar pushing the water. Of course, the oars only push the water in one direction, then they're lifted and repositioned to push again.
In DC power, real and reactive power are indistinguishable. Voltage and current push in one direction all the time. It's only AC power where the rowboat analogy comes into play. So, WHY DO WE USE AC?
Simply, current cannot be made to flow over vast distances. We learned early on that you cannot transmit DC power over much more than a few miles without starting to suffer unacceptable transmission losses (we're not talking a few percent here; trust me on this, there's no solving THIS problem without cheap hot superconductors).
Now, both AC and DC motors require a net current in one direction (inductive load, satisfied by reactive power). But current can't be sent very far. So the solution is capacitors. In areas too far from a spinning generator to receive reactive power from the generator, utility scale capacitors are used to create local reactive power loops, satisfying the inductive load.
Some rubes at this point suggest making all load resistive, by putting capacitors in all your appliances. This is not practical. The people who are opposed to it are the insurance companies and their associates like UL. Capacitors... explode. And big ones require a lot more care than the tiny ones that drive your computer fans.
like whats your end game here?
State mandated ejection of women from the workforce.
Preposterous you think. Can't be done.
Germany did it. China is going to do it in the next decade or so. When the chips are down, liberty will yield to necessity. And once one country does it, more will follow.
It will happen because economically it has to happen. The two full income household was an unsustainable situation that is as disruptive to first world population as the fucking black death was.
