Saeculum

And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there's not an equivalent.

I mean, read any het romantic poetry written by a man from now to like, the beginning of writing and you'll run across some version of:

"This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life".

Sure, poetry's not as popular now as it used to be, especially for heterosexual men, but people are still making it and sharing it, so presumably those spaces. I'm pretty sure that line almost verbatim is in at least two recent pop songs.

Going really fast isn't helpful if you're not capable of steering at that speed. The V2 was technically a hypersonic missile.

Based on the wording of the article, I believe they are all out on bail.

They did a pretty fun daft punk cover album.

In most of the world, $800,000 is enough money that you and your wife would never have to work another day in your lives. Even in Canada that's 20-ish years of the median household income.

Green power needs significant overcapacity at the moment though right? Because sometimes it's not sunny or not windy, and balancing that across large regions through the grid costs a ton of money.

It's a waste, sure, but it would be wasted anyway and this makes building green power a little more profitable in the system we're forced to live under.

The greens are also deeply in bed with conservative anti-development types and spend a lot of their effort opposing public infrastructure.

It's like "I play baseball" vs "I play sports".

I think more like "I play baseball" Vs "I play softball/rounders/cricket".

It's not that difficult to convince people who enjoy little league to try standard baseball.

People complain about it a lot, but I've never actually ran into a system that uses any maths beyond what a five-year-old should be capable of. Closest I think might be Mutants and Masterminds with stacking multipliers, but still just some extra steps. Nothing that knowing your times tables wouldn't prepare you for.

You can just edit your orginal comment you know.

Uh actually that's revisionist

We have refined finance to such a point that commodities now just materialise out of the ether through some kind of capitalist magic.

It's already bad enough living on Terf Island, Amerikkkans and Israelis would make it actual hell.
