History

Came up for a mechanism for "High Dimension Spin Out" when it comes to ships using the higher dimension version of FTL. Flying in said dimension requires a Quark Field to be generated around the vessel, and sustained through the spatial warp bubble. However, since this bubble would be pretty impossible to see or sense through (Plasma is opaque to electromagnetic waves over a certain temp) the only solution is to either fly by inertial guidance or extend "periscopes" that you examine outside the bubble. This would mean increasing the "turbulence" on the bubble, though. That could potentially abrade a hole in the Quark Field, and once that happens the Spatial Warp would be exposed to enough of an overpressure to burst from the sudden internal reactions from the exposed hull. Once that happens, the Vessel "spins out" of the higher dimension because of the axial torsion from the field rupture and extended periscope acting as a lever, and the crew goes all slurry-like.

E: To avoid it being weaponized, since it did occur to me that making a system that allows you to speed something up to 30KM/S would be awfully nice if you wanted to really stick it to someone and their entire county, the outcome location is harder to predict than normal when this happens. It might be the exotic weapon I've been looking for when it comes to the Berserker though.

This is nothing to concern yourselves with. We are simply mobilizing the military to ensure troublesome nations like Blackacre, Maxtopia, and Brasilistan cease their meddling. Our humanitarian, or rather our vulpinarian, resources are going to help the less fortunate. Unlike those Nazi pidarasy, our purity isn't based on race for we aren't human anymore.

I'll take a slice of Merc (Sorry, Buddy) and some Vodka, hold the asprin.

On the last two: Transhumanism is probably unattainable but I'd love to see how we'd fvck it up. Individual bomb-belts for infected cells, perhaps? Get hacked and half your body suddenly combusts/implodes.

What I want, more than anything, is for us to become Gene Roddenberry's coke-fueled vision of the future. A -mostly- peaceful race that has grown past it's petty conflicts and stands ready to explore and deter real threats.

When it comes to whether we should expand human space exploration, the only real answer is "yes". I'm of the genuine opinion that we need Orion because Earth has been far too tolerable. With no danger to drive us, we forget why we fled the threat in the first place. In that way, Earth has robbed us of valuable time to expand and reinforce our species on different worlds.

Of course, "expansion" is the wrong word when you would need to rebuild it with Orion modules. On the bright side, Orion lets you do that in basically two trips if you want...or you could use the ridiculously cheap Kilogram-Per-Dollar to expand it instantly. As always, god damn NASA for killing it.

I'll have Rice Krispies and pinot noir.

Alaska is certainly a unique and interesting State. I've met a few people from Alaska that have come and visited Arizona and they've seemed like pretty chill people. Weed was legalized there before 46 other states, which is surprising and neat. Idk if I'd ever actually visit Alaska tho like I don't really have any reason to go to Alaska. It's so far away from everything else and pretty cold in most of the state much of the year and I live in a desert so anything below 60 F is basically jacket weather for me.

I was 3 when Al Gore was running for president. I guess he was too environmentalist for the conservative Southern voters but not environmentalist enough for Green Party voters which is pretty whack in my opinion. Funny tho how the people that blame Ralph Nader for Bush's victory are now the same people trying to rehabilitate him into the "resistance" and reminiscence about his awful presidency because he doesn't say nice things about Trump. Anyways, I will admit as someone that knows absolutely nothing about 2000 politics, it kinda does seem silly for so many voters to vote for the Green Party when apparently Al Gore was "too liberal" enough to make West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee become solidly Republican. I just don't understand tbh.

Humans are morons. The collapse of civilization is near. There is no becoming spiritual masters because we're about to collapse into chaos and violence. So uh that's all I gotta say about transhumanism.

It'd be awesome if the USA would expand space exploration, but I don't really see that happening en masse again soon. There's always other political issues that get higher priority than space exploration (sometimes for good reason), and I doubt in this political climate that the American people will be demanding more space exploration, especially since the climate crisis is certainly not going away, we don't have universal healthcare during a pandemic, and corporate fascists control the government anyways and I doubt the elections this November are gunna be legitimate because you can't vote yourself out of fascism. Revolution is the only method to get rid of the fascists, because they're not just gunna let democracy happen lol. If the government would not be full of corrupt moronic sociopaths, we could finally have universal healthcare and maybe put a halt to the climate crisis (loljk it's already too late for that) and then we can finally fund NASA a ton.

Alaska: Seems nice-looking, but too cold and desolate for me to spend a significant length of time there.

Al Gore: So close, yet so far. Not a perfect campaign, but still better than the alternative, and would have won had we not had the weird Electoral College.

Transhumanism: Sounds nice in science fiction, but I doubt it's realistically feasible, and could raise some ethical questions.

USA manned space: I think so. We're due to first return to the Moon, and then land on Mars as prelude to perhaps human habitation on other planets. However, these expeditions must not be militarized, and we have a while to go before we find technology to bridge the long distance between our planet and other planets, let alone between our planet and other solar systems.

For the Militarized bit, I think it'd be better to hope for bounds on the militarization. GPS, for instance, is undoubtedly a part of the weaponization of space as it's functions were even ear-marked for US Military use (Though they eventually removed the "Staggered Accuracy" restriction for civilians, GPS remains central in the US military's technology and thus a central target for adversaries who are willing to go without) at first, and because other nations have proven increasingly adept at attacking the "links" in our technological net. That's not to say that we ought to put nukes on Mars, but that most of the tech we put up there ultimately has a military application too, it's just a matter of finding it...and that's when it isn't already gifted Military technology like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope that the National Office of Reconnaissance donated.

Besides, if we were able to bridge NASA and Military requirements on a mission, it could be made a lot "cheaper" by having the NRO foot the bill or kicking it to the AF or something, and it'd honestly be a bit of good publicity in an age where basically everything needs that.

As for the technology we already have it, it's just that NASA would rather sit in the sand-box playing with their Ion Engines than admit that NERVA and nuclear solid-core rockets were the right answer. A little lower fuel efficiency, but it shaves months off the travel time (Systems do not need to be built as robustly, less consumables need to be brought, less radiation is allowed to seep through the hull) while increasing payload mass (you don't need every system to be built of the lowest mass material). That's ignoring that we could have gone to Saturn by 1975 if we had built Orion...and at one twentieth the cost of Apollo :/

Kalaron has a star-map of it's sector, now. Additionally, I've decided to expand my universe to include an In-System planetary drive.

Interplanetary Drives built by the Kalaronians are based on a high-power Resistojet. It uses material scavenged from the remains of the Berserker Probe (It exploded after it flung a rock at Calyxis due to the strain involved after it was corroded inside of the Gas Giant while waiting, and because the Vorton Harmonic Mice were a n g e r y over being confined for so long) as the coil so as to super-heat the propellant. Still working it out to see what the needed amounts will be, but the engine operates at a massive temperature relative to more conventional thrusters.

I recommend Vechen, it'd give the impression that the main-body of your "nation" has it's very edge on the division-line between sector blocks (so the station is just an isolated part rather than being smack in the middle of empty interstellar space far from home :P)

TBH, I like the Expanse and love it's scifi but god damn the show is weirdly constructed. No spoilers, but at one point the MCs are chasing down a mad scientist with information literally so volatile that the death of hundreds of thousands of people is petty change compared to what he'll make if allowed to escape...and after they fail and get back the female MC gets mad because another crew member was pretty gungho about boarding the dude's ship, retrieving him and fighting through whatever resistance they'd encounter because...."You can't tell me who to kill"

Like, sorta missing the mountain for the trees there when the people helping him (whether they understand the circumstances or not) are worse than monkeys with hammers playing with a nuke.

Have you ever asked yourself why dragons guard treasures? (e.g. Smaug in Tolkiens works)

I always wondered if the dragon was aware of what he/she was guarding or if it was some cliche "the wizard/King/someone forced this dragon to guard their fortune" type of deal. Although it would be funny in a way to watch people panic while a massive dragon tried to grocery shop.

I think it's more to do with the dragon being a symbol of greed. It hoards the treasure but doesn't spend it because it just wants to keep it all for itself for the sake of it (like how the super rich hoard their wealth in tax havens rather than spend or donate it.)

Do you know the problem of being super rich? You acquire more money than you can spend even if you wanted to your wealth grows automatically. That way you get richer just by being rich. Thanks to compound interests.

I've seen an interview with a financial expert and ex stockbroker. That's what he said.

There is also the miracle of compound interest:

“Money bearing compound interest increases at first slowly. But, the rate of increase being continually accelerated, it becomes in some time so rapid, as to mock all the powers of the imagination. – One penny, put out at our Saviour’s birth to 5 per cent, compound interest, would, before this time, have increased to a greater sum, than would be contained in a hundred and fifty millions of earths, all solid gold. But if put out to simple interest, it would, in the same time, have amounted to no more than seven shillings and four pence half-penny.”

Anarchism: I'm not too well versed in it, but I have some friends who are anarchists (actual anarchists not the liberal straw man edgy anarchists) and what I've heard of it is pretty chill. I have some difficulty with understanding the difference between anarchism proper and the communist stateless, moneyless, and classless society. I'm mainly chalking that down to gaps in my knowledge, but given I have no problem with the latter, I find myself pretty okay with the former.

Asprin for my headache, hold the wine and I'll hold the whining.

I don't like Gordon Ramsay, personally. I get his appeal, but I've never really been a fan of "Anger Humor". It makes me more uncomfortable than anything to watch him screaming at people, and while I know he doesn't do it to kids in those shows I'm also not a big fan of cooking shows in general so the appeal is lost. My preferred form of comedy is a deep irrationality formed in response to the clownish world we inhabit.

I've burnt many things, but I'm an expert at toast tyvm.

I remain doubtful of Anarchism purely because I fail to see how it'd defend itself from Active Measures or foreign aggression. I think a lot of people see Iraq or Afghanistan and sort of assume that because guerrilla movements were (somewhat) effective at keeping control from cementing itself there, Anarchism could just do the same in whatever country it sprouted up in (Or at least, 90% of the responses I've heard entail something to that effect) but I'm convinced they're missing the circumstances of those wars for an idealized view of it having a general efficacy. My favorite responses are the ones that posit some kind of Military Industrial Complex being built solely through donations though lmao.

As for Governance, I'm sure it could work in the same way I'm sure Capitalism can be better than a soulless conglomeration of profit accumulating machinery. The problem is just a matter of it's robustness.

Last I heard Merc smelled of J-1A.

I'll admit I've never heard of Larry Krasner until now, so I looked him up. He seems like a decent fellow. This country desperately needs better DAs so hopefully he keeps up the good work.

Minnesota is a very cold place. People from there have the whackiest of Midwestern accents which is pretty funny to me because I'm sometimes entertained by simple silly things don't question it because I don't question why anyone would willingly remain in a place where it seems to normally be as cold if not colder than the North Pole.

I'd like FALGSC, but idk if we're ever getting that now.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner: He's quite a progressive prosecutor with a good record on criminal justice reform.

The State of Minnesota: The state itself is an important electoral battleground, but I'm more so interested in the good work done in Minneapolis on the find of zoning reform that has been politically difficult in California.

Fully automated luxury gay space Communism: Until we're in a post-scarcity society, it's not happening.

POTUS: If I were to choose between one of the Democratic presidential primary candidates, it would likely be Michael Bennet. If I could choose anyone, then it would either be Ron Wyden or Ben Cardin due to their great work on healthcare and tax policy respectively.

Wow, I'm late to the party. All the refreshments are gone!

Larry Krasner: I don't know much of anything about them. Like many I've read up on the guy and he seems alright, I guess. We could definitely use more people like him in the prosecutor's office. Or we could get rid of the prosecutor's office. I can't say I care which happens.

Minnesota: I like the idea and theory of Minnesota, though I'm not sure how it's worked out in practice. Living there might be interesting. That part of the continent has always had an allure to me for some reason.

FALGSC: The goal all society ought to be aiming for. Someday we'll overthrow the current order and release ourselves from the shackles of liberalism!

POTUS: Of the options available, Howie Hawkins. If I got to pick anyone, probably someone like Maxine Waters (or Ron Dellums, were he still alive). She's got a decent track record of supporting policies that will bring America into the 21st century, such as Medicare-for-all and the Green New Deal, and I'd probably have a beer with her. I'd imagine it'd be kinda like drinking with my mom or grandparents, y'know.

I think the broader issue, though, is with this idea that if we just elect the right people — to the presidency, to Congress, whatever — that all our problems will be solved. No. Individuals do not change the world, collectives do.

But consider

The NCC-1701 had the capacity to lay waste to an entire planetary surface. The Romulan T'liss -with Destabilized Plasma Torps- was able to vaporize a several mile thick asteroid-base used by the Federation in two shots, and the Enterprise-D was capable of boring a hole nearly two kilometers deep in the span of fifteen seconds. Even compared to the US and it's nukes there's an absurd amount of fire-power in the hands of a single Captain.

And that's ignoring that Photon Torpedos are basically gamma-ray bombs

I think governments have a responsibility to ensure the well being of their citizens, including providing adequate mental health resources for everyone. The US has struggled with this, as you all know, especially when it comes to public schools. We can do better.

Benedict Cumberbatch: I don't really care for him. Like, I don't hate him. I just don't care about him. I've never seen Doctor Strange or Sherlock, and probably never will.

Ben Affleck: See above, replace information as appropriate.

Government and Mental Illness: Y'all may recall that I've been involuntarily committed before — what we in Florida refer to as a Bakeracting, after the law that gives the state such power. In fact, I think I posted here as it was happening (they left me unsupervised for like 2 hours lol). It was literally the worst experience of my life and I'm still recovering some four years later. I was both glad and incensed to have learnt in my most recent round of therapy this past fall, that the entire exercise was apparently conducted completely improperly.

Despite this, I do think the government ought to have a place in the mental welfare of its citizens, just as it does in their physical welfare. I think the current #DefundThePolice movement is useful to this effect. Police, who by definition are actors of state violence, should not be conducting welfare checks and whatever paltry funds devoted to doing so ought to be redirected toward social workers of some kind. Personally, I fail to see the point of police at all but that's a separate conversation

Joker: Wow, I really just wanted to answer the mental illness question, because I don't care about the Joker either.

Issue #1,071 - Up the Creek

One of the longest rivers in The Kitsu Federation is also a major shipping lane in The Confederacy of Free Nations. Bigtopia, a downstream nation, has unveiled its plans to dam this river, prohibiting any ships from travelling further upstream and beyond its waters.

My Choice:

“The lifeblood of my people is at stake!” cries the ambassador from an upstream landlocked country. “My country’s only access to the sea is through that river! If that damned dam gets built, cargo ships would be unable to travel to and from my nation! Bigtopia won’t listen to our pleas. What do you say we and the other upstream countries gather an army and blow those asshats out of the water?”

The Result:

…water fights now end with thousands dead. (My allies depend on that trade route. You wouldn't listen to diplomacy, so...)

The Issue

Following a fracas between the Minister of Paternalism, the Minister of Patriotism and the Minister of Patchouli, your inner circle has gathered to discuss how best to run your nation’s most recently acquired colony.

“The best approach is through direct rule, of course,” chortles Hiro Cullen, slamming his hunting crop against the table so your secretary startles. “That accursed continent needs intelligent and honourable people — like myself — to teach those childlike natives. A colonial administration, staffed entirely by our people, will look after them and teach them good Spanelskoan values. When they see what great civilisation our pioneers bring to them, they won’t be so upset that we mowed down a few hundred primitive shacks for our five-star clubhouse and gated communities. They’ll see it was just common sense.”
