  1. Afaict, literally only life and death situations receive that urgency and that makes sense. For the vast majority of cases its "get in line, chump". I can certainly see the appeal in "free" medical care, hell I want "free" everything and to retire and spend my time day drinking and fishing. But lets not pretend its nirvana.
  2. Ah. Well I don't feel like retelling the entire conversation. Perhaps you can search it out and read it. You can probably zero in on it by searching my name and the term "holy moly". "Look, we cured his leprosy in one day! HUZZAH!" This must mean all the more common and populous ailments are equally solveable! *nodnod* See the conversation about Sweden and Spain(?). TN can probably hook you up with the links.
  3. Whew, bullet dodged? What about unrelenting back pain like was mentioned last time we talked about this? Still tough enough to wait? Its easy to cherry pick "we cured the dude of leprosy by immediately prescribing dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine" but you have to look at what the masses will use most frequently. Also, tv isn't RL.
  4. Until we make a quantum leap in battery technology, mobile robots are a pipe dream.
  5. If you want the smallest sample size, yes.
  6. *watches a country with a population under 10M wait for six months to lance a boil*
  7. Gah, youre absolutely right. Perhaps a scaled down version of Metal Storm that fires tasers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKlnMwuCZso
  8. True dat! Don't even get me started on the exponential increase in risk of death that you face now that you are a licensed driver! A 1 in 102 chance!!!
  9. Why would you turn on the water? Is the mook also on fire?
  10. Oh snap, my brain is on fire today! You know how every public building is required by law to have fire suppression sprinklers? Now picture another sprinkler right next to the water sprinkler, but this sprinkler dispenses pepper spray! Mook enters hallway --> flood hallway with pepper spray. Man, I need to patent this stuff before someone ganks me like they did with my net shooting drone idea.
  11. I think I have a billion dollar idea...auto-taser turrets. Scene: A crazed gunman is observed on CCTV approaching or breaching the door to the school. An alarm is activated and all students and locked in the classrooms and ordered to shelter in place. Equipped with the finest FLIR and LIDAR, these turrets (with gatling style barrels for multiple shots) would drop from the ceiling of every hallway, autonomously go into search mode, and fire upon anything living until the all clear is sounded. Win / win!
  12. By "melee", do you mean melee? This is of vital importance. You've got the general idea of how the stats work. Iirc, one of the effects of armor type will be the "recovery time".
  13. Shall we halt all technological and scientific progress while we hide under the bed from the bogeyman?
  14. Dubai Plans to DNA Test All 3 Million of Its Residents. Simply brilliant. I wish the US would do this.
  15. What about opening combat with a summoned weapon?
  16. Well, that's the price for trying to help someone...nickel and dime petty sniping from the sidelines.
  17. Do you still have to log into your Game Center account too or does Admodee.net circumvent that?
  18. "Trolling"? Let me guess, you didn't mean "melee"?
  19. Trumpcoin: Israeli Group Mints New Coin to Honor U.S. Embassy Move.
  20. Iirc, in PoE1, Might is the determiner of magical and melee damage. Some other stats may increase the duration.
  21. So when are they going to arrest the mayor of Oakland?
  22. Wasn't it Charisma that affected shop pricing in the IE games?
