Also a cautionary tale on adding and removing features without plan or controls. Every ‘hey could we add…? It’s what everyones talking about!’ is another step taken away from the design.

Derp I’d checked 1998 and then didnt check 1999 after I saw the shadow.

Not how March was in 1998 or 1999. Also the shadow leading from the firearm along the arm is also bogus.

Same. The matching fancy side collects dust. The silly side gets used til things break.

Forgetting all about Thirteen Monkeys.

That’s kind of why I like the casino model. Local tribes put here have been buying their land back bit by bit and the casino goers gladly shovel money at them.

I just wish we could rope corporate entities into it. Imagine if casino losses could be a corporate tax writeoff. C-suites would be stumbling onto the floor with the company cards. The overnight wealth distribution would be staggering.

As well as one would expect.

The ones who come out of the woodwork when you agree with the Nuremburg Trial execution verdicts will write novels.

About half the American electorate already has. Judging from the last big American election most voters aren’t swayed into flipping levers ineffectually for a system of lashing people to tracks.

Yes… Ha ha ha… YES!

come @ me lemmy liberals

You know I think the only ones that will are the six or seven chronic users who peaked at using tankie as a pejorative, and half of them fucked off to piefed to insulate themselves from further interaction.

A proper septic system is carefully engineered but they can still be quite low tech. Many houses still just have gravel trenches and pits.

My own home doesn’t have any pumps, it just pushes water out as water comes in. My tiny strip of land has deep trenches and the right native soil (deep sand).

More modern systems just need some pressurized lines and only three feet of the right sand to achieve proper treatment of effluents.

A lot of people don’t realize outside sewers and cities, septic systems are a thing and all the sewage goes to a tank that drains out into a patch of soil. A hundred feet/30 meters and usually even a wellhead is considered at a safe range.

Soils do a lot of biological treatment just as the enzymes and bacteria in septic tanks break down and dissolve solids.

UV disinfection and other treatment of sewage on-site is only common in areas with high water tables or proximity to waterbodies under that 100ft/30 meter range.

The majority of modern wastewater comes from other fixtures for laundry, showers, and the kitchen. Toilet sewage is relatively small volumewise.

I get you, but I mean the grand alliance scheme to be including what ultimately became the Quadruple Alliance/Central Powers. The Kaiser’s bellicose disposition is noteworthy but doesn’t mean he wasn’t strategizing around the Entente any less.

The thing about World War 1 is that it was inevitable in the sense the grand alliance scheme demanded total conflict. The sphere of influence approach to peace and balancing powera militarily itself provoked worldwide conflict. Most of World War 1 was a detached elite refusing to recognize reality as they sent wave after wave of people into machinegun fire.

By the time you’re going back to the root of it all you find yourself stabbing Caesar along with the rest of the time travellers.

I have always seen him as an absolute unapologetic grifter in it for the love of the game.

Asmongold fan by typo is a cursed reality of our time.

So the thing about Evangelion…

Isn’t the whole thing with expats is that they explicitly keep their US citizenship? Most the self described expats I know are overseas military that married a local so my perspective may be skewed here.
