The pawns just need to realize they’re better of without a king and victory will be theirs.

Where will you be when the zoomies wear off?

Most rare‑earth ore occurs as a geochemical stew, so producers must grind, acid‑leach, and solvent‑wash huge volumes of rock before they bottle a kilogram of oxide. The solvents themselves are toxic; the tailings ponds can leach heavy metals; and any thorium or uranium hitch‑hikers raise radioactivity concerns.

Open‑pit mines also chew through landscapes, consume prodigious energy, and disrupt local water tables. In short, the elements may not be geologically rare, but clean, socially acceptable production sites are. That scarcity, not crustal abundance, keeps supply tight and prices volatile.

That’s an excellent point.

I don’t really know what the launch detection sensors’ capabilities are. However, there’s probably a detectably different spectrographic signature from solid fuel rockets like ICBMs versus Neutron’s methalox.

because I didn’t know what it did either, then made a typo in the ChatGPT prompt when asking about it

What energy company is a natural monopoly?

edit: are you talking about utilities that produce and distribute energy, or the companies that provide fuel for them? Because a case can be made for mining operations like Exxon & etc to be subject to market competition, whereas natural monopolies like your local electric utility should be publicly owned, i.e. owned by the government, and not have ownership shares traded privately or in public markets.

Its inefficient for natural monopolies to not be owned by the government. Privatization increases cost and decreases quality of service.

yeah, pretty much

This is a Bash fork bomb, a malicious function definition that recursively calls itself:

:() — defines a function named : (yes, just a colon).

{ :|:& } — the function's body:

    :|: — pipes the output of the function into another call of itself, creating two processes each time.

    & — runs the call in the background, meaning it doesn’t wait for completion.

; — ends the function definition.

: — finally, this invokes the function once, starting the bomb.

Aviassembly.

Its fun in the way that building airplanes in KSP is fun. The game is small, and the physics are simple, but for $10 its a good value.

that number needs 2 more zeros
