They had those kind of boards in the 1970s -- they were called "Heathkit", and similar, and cost several thousand dollars...and keep in mind this was the period of time where Dr. Evil's "One...MILLION dollars!" was born and a big deal. Our new '72 Plymouth Fury station wagon with AC and AM/FM radio was $2900.
The US did not want to have to split Japan with the Soviets the way they did Germany (and Europe as a whole). So forcing capitulation just as Russia was ramping up in Asia, post VE-day was high priority.
Anybody working full time (or near full time) should be able to afford to live out of abject poverty without government assistance. What about the $4000+ an hour the CEO of said burger flippery makes? No outrage there, eh? Also, $15 an hour shouldn't be a benefit...more like a 'living wage'.
Well, whatever. Just remember, high-Q programmers, it's vital to get hack to work and let your child be raised by a minimum wa...$15/hr. worker (wink!)
For collapse, yes, they just needed to heat it, softening it substantially. It need not even get red hot.
But this melt the steel meme talks about puddles of metal found at the site, full melting. Of course that also happened on the ground, essentially in the middle of a giant bonfire, where heat can build up to tremendous levels, much higher than any material's burn temp. Remember it was still burning a month later.
In ancient EverQuest, an evil elf was soloing the Gnome guard at the first juncture outside the Gnome city. This irritated me, so I went and "told" the two main guards at the entrance about it. (I attacked one and trained them past the elf and let them kill me.) Then they wandered back past the elf, who they faction-hated, and, being 2 rather than 1, took care of business.
After doing this a few times, a GM "warned" me.
It's at that exact moment I realized I wanted more from these games, something absolutely none has provided in the subsequent two decades. Just boring static spawn points and occasional static circle wanderers.
Why can't I tell my city's guards to go get this group out there? Not being able to do that so as to provide boring static spaen points is indeed the des8gn flaw, not what I tried to do.
The character is not jailed or perma-killed (barring stupidly not saving off a clone copy with your skills, which would almost never happen for an experienced player) and all their stuff not seized and sold off.
There is no real downside to griefing, which is part of the problem with more open PvP games. Indeed, the companies rely on casuals to provide fodder for hardcore griefers, going back to Ultima Online.
Warcraft III had "upkeep", where the more units you created, the more progressive the "tax" on your mines, to slow you down until the bloat of government ground progress to a halt.
You haven't been watching the news the past week, have you?
This is about an anti group filming Planned Parenthood execs discussing what sounds like selling baby parts, and, at best is exceptionally crude behavior in discussing crushing apart bodies to get at certain parts, like an auto junk yard worker.
A court has upheld stopping the video release because they signed an NDA as part of being undercover.
It's been suggested if this was someone filming a Koch brother feeding money to a Republican candidate, no court in California would hold up the NDA over the vital interests of the people to know.
Now that that is solidified, it means new computer games, so DDO players can expect the servers to be forcibly closed the way Star Wars Galaxies was in preparation for The Online Republic.
Dictionary people used to just categorize definitions for eternity. They recognized the slow change, but now it seems they've gone overboard in the other direction, being too quick to recognize new words that may be faddish and need the lens of time to know if they're gonna stick around.
"Haha, four billion computers...four billion networked computers! That's almost as many people as on the planet! Each computer will have more than 640k, too! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!111!!"
Nobody in a free society should be a fan of unelected people taking vast new control over a huge new domain that did not exist when Congress created this law some time around the Flintstones era.
Congress should do its job and decide what, if anything, such should be like, rather than unelected bureaucrats stretching the law to fit...and give themselves power.
It is precisely because politicians can hide and play a game of "I had nothing to do with this", if things go wrong, that that state should be denied to them.
You get the 12 mile military and 200 mile fishing limits for your land per international law. However, this must be land above the water. You cannot find land under the surface, dump tons of dirt on it, and claim those rights, per same law.
This doesn't mean you can't create the islands, but you can't do the 12 mile/200 mile thing. China thinks it can.
Money, being literally coins of precious metal, had intrinsic worth. Said government or bank could go to hell or lose a war, and you still have the value.
In that way, it started as merely another form of trade, a convenience to hold value from one sale until you found what you wanted to buy.
If the US went belly up, you have numbers on paper. When Kuwait was invaded, they were on a gold standard, but good luck going down to the Kuwaiti government requesting gold for paper, with a Saddam guy there.

For normal employment, where they've been dropping long term unemployed from counting for decades now. That wouldn't apply to tech.
I have a liberal buddy who was all about that "real" unemployment number under Bush. He doesn't harp on it under Obama anymore.

I mean, if I was Captain Kirk, I'd have gotten a fucking medal.

A stunningly realistic simulation.
Still need cheese for the macaroni and cheese.
Bzzzt, go look at the front page of CNN, thanks for playing.

It is reality that demands you put food in your mouth that is the problem, not businessmen who offer a way for you to do that easily.
And the final punch line is to set the modern thermostat even lower because everybody, men and women alike, is a fatass.
It's on par with the bloat of the average MS app rerelease, taking advantage of faster processors to hide much of it.
And there's plenty of room in Unicode. They can fit these in, between the Madonna boobs and Mile on a wrecking ball.

Man, I wonder what kind of porn that will be...[looks up to the stars wistfully, eyes like glazed saucers, the wonder of the infinite]

Bits of the pathogens are then transferred to the queen's "fat body," ...
"the discovery could extend to other species throughout the animal kingdom," because all egg-laying animals have the same protein.
And humans, because humans have so many fat bodies!
