Some ideas raddling around in my head today. Will I do anything with these? Will anything come of this? We'll have to wait and see I guess... I'm very tired.

Incidentally: That many comets would introduce 3.5x10^15 tonnes of water ice to Mars in the process.

Important to note that 0.7 bar is tolerable for humans.

Years ago, I did some very optimistic calculations for the number of comets you'd need for Mars enough gas pressure to get 1 bar at martian sea level. My math is probably way off, but I calculated you'd have to burn up roughly 40 thousand average sized comets over mars...

#6. Trust Is Transactional โ€” And Itโ€™s Broken
I asked what qualities would prove that a politician actually understands their lives.

The answers were simple.

Be authentic. Show up. Know what groceries cost.

โ€œThereโ€™s people that really have to make the decision โ€” am I going to pay rent or am I going to get groceries? Politicians are paid. A lot of them donโ€™t understand that the things of the day-to-day life donโ€™t really apply to them.โ€

A third of the room raised their hands when I asked if they had personally faced the choice between rent and food.

A grocery store manager who leans Democrat put the representation gap into words:

โ€œMost politicians, theyโ€™re from Columbia University or Duke Universityโ€ฆ most people didnโ€™t go to those kinds of schools. Maybe it would be better if someone was there who had a more general experience.โ€

These young people arenโ€™t asking politicians to say the right things.

Theyโ€™re asking them to have lived the right things.

I mean, obviously the GQ RX head was. We see it do the thing, but specifically the Protoype Gundam/Guncannon/GM head.

Modeling this, it feels very much like both the GQuuuuuuX Gundam and GM heads were designed with the same swivel mount gimmick that the Requiem For Vengeance GM does, but it looks like they dropped if for the GQ GM head.

Maybe I'm overestimating people, but I think even attempting to institute a draft would result in an all out national revolt.

I found out during checkout, that the first screenshot prices were "first time promo" prices and only applicable to x1 item.
The final price wound up being ~$32.00 for x4, which is still pretty cheap. But I had a feeling leading up to checkout that there'd be a 2nd shoe drop.
