  • I mean it's not great taxidermy but I'm not sure it's bad. It's not even a case that I question who would want it. I know several people who would love to receive it as a gift.

    Perhaps the only mistake is that the eyes don't light up.

  • He's out doing what I am sure he thinks of as diplomatic meetings. The pope might be the leader of a criminal organisation, but he is generally thought of as a legitimate world leader. JD spoke with the Italian PM while he was there as well, and I think he has moved on to India now where he will meet with various politicians and attend cultural events.

    VPs do this kind of thing all the time, it just seems weird because no one can take him seriously.

  • Folk always seem to underestimate the effect of training and experience. In a match between two unpracticed players, sure, the more analytically inclined of the two will have an edge. This is true of any game with a strategic component. General intelligence helps but specialist knowledge is better.

  • This would be my suggestion too. If possible, I'd remove the cart handle and attach the belt with two lines as wide as possible on the steering bar (two lines, not one threaded through the belt) should help the cart to turn with you.

  • If it is a standalone (and most x Borg type things are) there is no need to get Mörk Borg itself. It isn't like it is a core rulebook that others need to build off of. If anything I would say that this family of games is the opposite to that. The books are so much about communicating the vibe of that particular game and the underlying rules are very simple. I'd even say you don't need to use the game a particular supplement or module is explicitly 'for'.

    You might get some clashing aesthetics but that isn't exactly out of place here. Buy the one(s) that looks cool to you, hack at them how you like.

    You've played Blades, and FitD/PbtA is probably the closest to the Borg ecosystem out of the games you mentioned. There is no one 'core rule book' just different games founded on the same principles.

  • I'm willing to allow that someone could have a change of heart after acquiring wealth, or can control of such wealth through inheritance.

    I don't really care how such a realignment of thinking is achieved though. Be it force, visitation by three spirits, whatever. I guess my point is that as they have the capability to change but don't, which should inform our actions.

  • The thing about billionaires it that they could just stop. It's not a skin colour, it's not an ethnicity or even a religion.

    If they wanted to they could redistribute the wealth. They could use their power to close the political doors they exploit.

    Wouldn't even have to check themselves out, wouldn't even have to adopt some monastic lifestyle. But they would rather live in a world where they have lifetimes of obscene luxury at the expense of others. At a certain point you have to ask if causing suffering is part of their fun.

  • Remember when we were all laughing at George W Bush and the dumb shit he said? At least the fuck was concise rather than this embarrassment going on about how he used to tie an onion to his belt to scare off Mexicans or whatever he said.

  • And there generally is, most libraries have a catalogue or at least a directory explaining the numbering system at a topic level. Thing is, this sign doesn't just help people come to the library wanting help with these things. It helps people in the library who are experiencing this and didn't know they could find a book to help them.

    Hell some people don't even know they need help with these things until someone offers.

  • Honestly if you can already touchtype an ortho isn't going to be that big a learning curve. At least for me (going to an ortho with strong stagger), it finally meant that the keys felt like they were in the right place. I don't think the benefits of other layouts are quite as big if the keyboard actually fits your bone structure.

    If you are going to a cut size layout, it's better to add in features incrementally onto something you already know rather than having to learn colemak and layers and thumb clusters.

    If you have the time of course to re-learn how to type sure, do it all at once, but any time you spend on another layout (like, say, in the office) is going to make the transition harder. And as I said, layouts designed to make typing on a normal keyboard better make less sense on an ergo.
