He’s a sysadmin and he doesn’t do downtime

Battleship, for sure

I saw someone once theorize that the console designers knew their creations would get dumped with tons of heat and current under battleshort conditions, and had to come up with some fallbacks. So they just filled it with a ton of mass to soak it up as long as possible, a big hunk of basalt. Unfortunately, when it gets overloaded, it tends to explosively fracture. But that’s better than cooking every ensign to touch a panel when under fire

Of all the dumb things you’ve said, this is the dumbest. I bet serious money you’ve never lived in any of these areas, and just because less people live there doesn’t mean no one would notice you setting up a farmstead on their property and either call the sheriff or enforce their rights themselves.

Not to mention the government wanting their taxes or permits and throwing you in jail once they got wind of anything. Homeless people get assaulted, their belongings destroyed, And their lives ruined every single day in even tiny towns in the Midwest. You’re not escaping society there, it’s very conformist. This has big high school libertarian energy

Also, there is no known historical example of a purely barter economy. What’s known now is everything tended to work on an informal gift/reputation economy.

Thank you, seriously wasn’t trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can’t always be grouped together

You weirdo, it’s in reference to a famous meme

Good news:
