I don't see how this can be done with the current SCOTUS upholding the first amendment. I mean, if this is a fantasy land we can rewrite the meaning behind the constitution, make big money's influence in federal elections minimal and have state sponsored campaigns. Make it such that the only...

Thinking about term limits, I wonder if this would have the downside of making politicians less powerful and less able to stand against big money. If you're a 20 year incumbent housemember of a fairly happy district, your chances for re-election are so high and your campaign costs are so low...

Yes. Even if Trump continues to inch toward favorability (which would be pretty incredible), it's still much more firmed up than it was a few months ago.

All the good betting is generally outside the general election result, or betting on the swings. The margins are larger and uncertainty much higher when betting on who wins Iowa than who wins the POTUS. And while the race is pretty much firmed up, a few months ago betting on who will increase...

The takeaway for me is that even with an incredibly impressive propellentless drive we're still very, very far from the stars. We'll need a few massive technological breakthroughs beyond that to reach the stars without a generation ship.

Never been tested. I'm probably within a standard deviation from the mean. Picked forum moderator.

Planning on DS3 up. I hear good things about dex, estoc and pyromancy. Any build suggestions? I did a similar thing in DS2 and did winged lightning spear / sorcery in DS1. I'll probably play offline.

Not sure why you'd say that. It's reasonable to assume that a future propellentless drive using physics we don't think is possible would have limits in the form of heat generation or power draw. I'd say that being able to accelerate a ship at 0.1m/s would be pretty impressive for one of these...

Agree completely. And when asteroid mining makes the path to a generation ship possible by bringing massive amounts of usable resources to LEO, I'll be super happy that we're building a generational ship. Even if there's a 90% chance that we'll beat it to its destination, it's worth doing on the...

Not inevitable, but concepts like guaranteed wages become more tolerable. But, johnny handouts getting 30k usd a yewr doesnt mean the wealthy will give up the means of production.

PokemonGo showed the world that a pretty simple app that is slightly connected to the world and barely has augmented reality built into it can be massive in new and exciting ways, though the pokemon IP is a juggernaut and helped with that as well. VR / AR will be huge, 100 billion dollar...

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised either way. I haven't heard anything concrete about XP rates in EoK. I know the task rewards can give 30AAs, but I don't know if there's some AA pinata. I think where it concerns leveling most people are more focused on the tradeskill leveling they're obliged to do...

Have you tried the EoK missions? (I haven't).

The 10k AAs aren't as bad of a grind as you think. Not because 10k AAs is a small amount, but because most of them aren't these "must have" AAs that will make a huge difference. If you can quickly grind out the first thousand AA's, you've probably gotten the really good stuff. The next couple...

My guess is your trip would be terminated jn s few hundred years by some bro knocking on the door of your craft saying, "hey, you guys can keep going if you want but uh, we have warp 3 right now and we started feeling bad about leaving yall just crawling through the void."

I didn't. Will try when it's released. Looks like they're still developing it. I'm a big fan of open world survival games like this.
