I can visualize this so clearly and it feels like a fever dream

Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Economics is just psychology masquerading as a hard science

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.
Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.
Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

I remember I'd just happened to buy a resin 3d printer, and so had bought a few masks to use for that. I got into printing and painting Warhammer because of the pandemic. Still have a a small army that's entirely printed and about 3/4 painted from that time.

Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)
Especially when you're time constrained.

They could store the families in a separate underwater bunker built on the ruins of a death cult's sunken wizard tower too.

Program management system for the entire division? Excel. "Agile" task tracker? Excel. Requirements manager? Oh no no, that one's written in a word document with no version control. I have trauma. Use tools made for the thing you want to do, please.

The 14th is a reconstruction amendment btw, it wasn't drafted or ratified by the founders.

The room is pitch black, you're relying on dark vision, and you just failed your perception check. I can definitely see this happening outside of bad DM'ing, and I think the PC being sus of a blank room in an otherwise dangerous dungeon could also be in character.

If they were able to meet the actual up/down metrics for the subsidy, I don't see why they shouldn't get it. But they weren't able to do that, so they don't get the subsidy.

Is this a US thing I'm too French to understand?
I'd say likely yes to this. It's much easier to centrally govern a more geographically dense and homogeneous country.
In the US we have strong localized government (city/county, state) and the more sweeping Federal government.
And they do submit to central government, that's exactly what the discussion in this article is about- will the central court decide to strike down their local laws?

And why it makes great rocket fuel...

I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528
I know this is a meme, just made me think

For middle incomes in the NCR in DC or MD it's usually cheaper to get the same thing in VA, on an income tax basis alone.

Was thinking of this pod while reading the post. So good
One more for today. Planetary HQ for the DSM faction. This is my third run through setting it up as the last two servers went kaput, so the buildings are all blueprinted and pretty easy to throw down and build with nano build & repair. I'm a slut for infrastructure. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/fv0sjeg

The most heavily armed and outfitted variant of DSMs most populous ship, the Jackknife Destroyer. This version has a spinally mounted rail gun as well as a frame shift drive for long distance travel. Unpressurized and configured for a crew of up to 3. Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/wTfY0x4 Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2994013172
So simple and so tasty, just started making these recently. Feel free to remove if this isn't quite a cocktail enough. Thought this was the community of people who'd be most likely to want to give it a try.
Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2993560099 No idea if the image embed is working. Finally uploading a lot of my faction's ships and RTS-esque buildings to the workshop after a "no pen testing" agreement with the other faction on our server. Probably will try to post them through over the next couple of days. edit: Redid the image, imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/mFPurxk
Figured I'd post my favorite space tech/engineering podcast. These guys are great.
