I'm pretty sure that was in God Emperor. Heretics is the one where that same man acquires super sex powers that are so powerful he can overwhelm the sex powers of a clan of violent sex women and subjugate them to his will.

This is basically correct but i would add sometimes it's better to add chips than to add mult. For example, if your score is something like:

10 x 50 = 500

Adding +50 mult here would give you 10x100=1000 points. Adding +50 chips will give you 60x50=3000 points.

Adding to the lowest of the two numbers improves your score the most. Especially early game, mult is much lower than chips, so you want to improve mult. However once you have some good mult jokers improving chips becomes important. Especially in high card based decks, where you get very few chips from your hand.

If the multiplier jokers come in, the picture can change again. It makes adding mult more valuable because the addition will be multiplied.

These are much older, but may still be worth reading:

• William Powell's "The Anarchists Cookbook"
• The CIA's "Simple Sabotage Field Manual"

Ultimately, reading material is useful but does not by itself lead to action. Some organisation is required for that, and I don't have a practical direction to point you in for that. Though you could always strike out on your own, of course.

If you do decide to organise for the purpose of sabotage action, I'd caution against doing so online. One never knows who might be listening

These are gonna be hella expensive for a while. If space is not a concern there's much cheaper batteries out there. You don't really need fast charging capabilities either.

Republicans could honestly pick up a lot of black votes if they were capable of dropping the racism. Unfortunately it's so deeply ingrained into the base now that I doubt they could pull it off.

is-number is a project by John Schlinkert. John has a background in sales and marketing before he became an open source programmer and started creating these types of single function packages. So far he has about 1400 projects. Not all of them are this small, though many are.

He builds a lot of very basic functionality packages. Get the first n values from an array. Sort an array. Set a non-enumerable property on an object. Split a string. Get the length of the longest item in an array. Check if a path ends with some string. It goes on and on.

If you browse through it's not uncommon to find packages that do nothing but call another package of his. For example, is-valid-path provides a function to check if a windows path contains any invalid characters. The only thing it does is import and call another package, is-invalid-path, and inverses its output.

He has a package called alphabet that only exports an array with all the letters of the alphabet. There's a package that provides a list of phrases that could mean "yes." He has a package (ansi-wrap) to wrap text in ANSI color escape codes, then he has separate packages to wrap text in every color name (ansi-red, ansi-cyan, etc).

To me, 1400 projects is just an insane number, and it's only possible because they are all so trivial. To me, it very much looks like the work of someone who cares a lot about pumping up his numbers and looking impressive. However the JavaScript world also extolled the virtues of these types of micro packages at some point so what do I know.

Nobody plays by the official rules, because the intention of the game is to bankrupt other players, knocking them out of the game. Not being allowed to play anymore is not fun. So, people tend to change the rules up to make it harder to get knocked out, which in turn leads to games becoming extremely long.

Basically, the game is crap.

Your individual tastes are subjective. I was arguing that the quality difference of a mcdonalds burger and a restaurant burger is not as big a chasm as OP made out.

I agree that they are basically the same meat from the same cows, but in my opinion there is still a big quality difference due mainly to preparation. A McDonald's beef patty is too thin, too homogeneous, and overcooked. The lack of flavour is the result of optimizing for cooking speed.

If you are willing to wait 5-15 minutes for your burger to be cooked you can achieve dramatically better results from the same cow.

People are replying to you like this is a pie in the sky fantasy, but actually this is an accurate description of Tokyo.

As an example, large Japanese cities go extremely hard on mixed use buildings and are very livable despite their crazy density.

I'm from Europe, and this doesn't match my experience. McDonald's is bottom tier fast food. Probably KFC is worse, but that's about it.

In general, to me it always seemed like Americans value fast food and chain restaurants way higher than Europeans.

You drive a full day with only one five minute stop? I think taking regular breaks is recommended when driving for long periods.
