Thankfully alcohol laws across the country have actually relaxed tremendously over the last couple decades, making it much easier for both hobbyists and microdistributors to be successful. Plus pot is slowly becoming legal. It all comes down to either public pressure or powerful lobbyists. That soda tax stuff is all public pressure, while the whiskey laws are kept in place by the companies that have the market cornered.

Ok, somehow warmed up to Lord of the Rings Online a bit and I'm working my Captain towards Mordor. I'm level 82 and about halfway done with Rohan, so I've got a ways to go. Still, it is nice to be back in Middle Earth.

I don't see rail happening. Too mich public cost. Tech companies are already investing heavily in self driving cars.

I'm ready for automation. Traditional cars will go the way of the horse and carriage.

LA that bad? Freedom is here I don't live in LA, it is much worse down there. Isn't Houston atrocious as well?

I'd imagine House Tyrell was also still in quite a bit of disarray after losing so many people in the Sept bombing.

I like the assumption that environmentalists are better at lobbying politicians than big oil and the auto industries. Good times. I would be more sympathetic to the death of cars if I didn't sit in traffic for an hour or two every day.

Prager University is funded by some guys that made a fortune fracking, so they might have some bias.

Which one is more important, a rope or a crowbar?

Hah, said 1 hour to unlock awhile ago, now it says coming soon. This is probably the most interesting game development since BattleCruiser 3000AD.

That is a pretty fantastic pitch.

Well the last one is just some random tweet.

Pick up some Rad-X while you are at it. Or is that another vault?

So you show up unprepared to explore and it's the developer's fault?

It's ok everyone, the President was just joking about that police brutality stuff.

I'd agree if 'tomorrow' means 'not in our lifetimes'. As is, we would need luck to even see asteroid mining happen. I'm not willing to take that bet, given the fact I had to dial home with a rotary phone as a kid and now my phone can basically access all of human knowledge. If it becomes a priority it will move very quickly.

Story of the season, pretty much.

It was pretty expensive to start, mostly because I'm too obsessive to just use the basic kit and had to get a bunch of other doodads.

Today I brewed my first batch of beer. It was fun, but now the nerve-wracking wait to see if it will ferment and taste good is upon me.

Talk about long term design. When did LotRO come out? I wish I could go back, but the last couple times the magic wasn't there. I didn't like Rohan or Gondor.

But if you disagree with Trump (or Sharp_One), you are clearly defending MS-13. That is how you win arguments in this day and age!

And it would take trillions to extract them while you can do it on earth for far less. If there was profit in space mining people would be doing it right now. Technology improves and becomes less expensive over time, so just because it seems like a profit losing endeavor today, does not mean it will stay that way tomorrow. It also comes down to motivation. China had a massive fleet of ships a full century before the Age of Exploration that were superior to the caravel ships used by Columbus. But they saw no profit in it and had no need for more resources and land. The Europeans, on the other hand, were being squeezed out of the trade markets by powerful Muslim empires and were desperate to find ways to expand. They were willing to take greater risks. That is what you will need to see happen for a decent boost in the space age.

Why is there no info that he was talking about arresting MS-13 gang members in this article? It is linked at the end of the article: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/watch-live-trump-trumpet-ms-13-crackdown-long-island/ But given the President is endorsing police brutality, clearly PBS believed it deserved a separate article.

Looks like a joke a student would make. Why would teachers spend their off time looking at student's social media?

I'm still waiting on all of my favorite Sierra Adventure game developers to release their products. The only other dud I had was At The Gates, a Civ style game by the Civ 5 lead dev. But I didn't go all in on that one, so no big loss. I think I've come out ahead on the whole KS deal.
