- tensile strength (it should be cartwheeling, there is a physics theorem which means everything tends to this configuration)

- large flat or concave sections.

- others are reporting it's mostly metallic.

I'll say it: did anyone consider an alien spaceship? The paper seems to deduce "asteroidal" by ruling out other things, rather than by a positive measurement of rock spectra, unless I've misread it.

^ Best article I've seen on Brexit options and why "reversing article 50" is not a viable option as far as the EU is concerned. It is based on an interview with a former Lib Dem MEP (Andrew Duff), who is basically a consultant constitutional lawyer advising both sides.

The onus is on the person who said the thing to prove it is true ("guilty until proven innocent," since it's a civil rather than criminal offence), but as long as he has documentation/emails it's all good.

Indeed, I would be astonished if they sued him for this, it would not end well for them.

Disclaimer: not a lawyer, but an election agent.

(I don't actually mind what anyone calls it, but "culture fit" has got a bad press and got my hackles up! Apologies to all!)

Two weeks before we left we got a dog. We met so many people from the area and the dog was an excuse to start a conversation. Made us feel like we'd been missing out all that time!

Did you mean "inter-personal skills"? The rest of your answer seems to suggest so. This is not the same as culture fit.

You need "fudge dice", but these are mappable from D6s. I recommend getting the dice though, as this is th table:

1 => -1

2 => -1

3 => 0

4 => 0

5 => 1

6 => 1

So it can get pretty confusing to do in your head.

A new DM should (IMHO) try playing in a game of the specific system run by someone else first, even in a minimalist system like Fate.

The thing about Fate is that the jargon is generic fiction terms, rather than medieval fantasy or whatever. So you have to read the rules cover to cover before DMing, and make sure to jump forward and back to remind yourself of definitions etc. Once you get going, and are familiar with the two or three mechanics you can use, it's very liberating though!

If it's what I think it is, you should be able to start with Accelerated and then convert to Core if some things aren't working (i.e. it's too simple).

I love it. But I would choose different languages:

AD&D: C

D&D 3.5: C++

D&D 4: Java/C#

D&D 5: C++11

Fate Core: Python

:)

GM'ing (Game, rather than Dungeon Master) is nearly as hard because of the improv story authorship, but the lack of rules-lawyering judgement that is required of you in a D&D game (even in a good edition like 5th, sadly) is not missed.

The Arcanum from it is a librarian's nightmare, I wondered what you thought of the description / if you've ever worked in a library that's too big to sort properly.

The thing I find strange is that the people I'm talking about will happily run code from random 3rd party repos (providing PHP 7.0 or similar), and copy/paste repo key fingerprints from the web without blinking, while steadfastly refusing to use an OS with such packages included and tested in the official repos "because security/quality/enterprise".

They don't seem to see how this negates the advantage of using a "well tested, enterprise grade" distro!

I much prefer Debian (for servers and development machines) as a good intersection between "up to date" and "stable".

(I am a fan of projects like yours, just much more pessimistic!)

I used to rely on fish, but after a couple of bugs (either in fish or my fingers, not sure) I switched back to bash at my job (on a Linux desktop).

After a few months I had built up a good set of aliases and functions (my most used function is rgrep, see below) and was confidently ^R reverse searching and so on. These things are great because as you jump systems (e.g. to macOS) they continue to work.

TLDR: Practise practise practise!

    # the rgrep function
    
    # recursive text file search from the current directory.
    function rgrep {
        if [ -z "$1" ];
        then
            echo "please supply a search string."
            return 1
        fi
        grep -rn $1 .
    }

Now, one thing we did with the coalition was do exactly what we'd been saying before the election. It wasn't what the media reported, but it is what we said. Which was that we'd consider coalition with any party that got the most votes and the most seats. Which was the Tories.

Now, you should also remember that the Lib Dems have a shared history with both the conservative and labour parties. The SDP may be much more recent, but the flight of the libertarians in the 1920s and 30s (along with the telegraph newspaper) lost us what was an originally liberal idea: the market. Suddenly we were no longer the party of the market. And the Tories were a mixture of market purists, capitalists and moral conservatives (political theists). They've purged most of the moral conservatives now, and we're just left with the capitalists (the libertarians forgot all about the social conscience of Adam Smith without the rest of the Liberal party to remind them.)

Now, the Liberals who were left in the 40s and onwards were several things. Social liberal, internationalist, a little bit CND, etc. Radicals. Protestors.

Then we got this influx from Labour in the 80s, the right wing of the Labour Party, the SDP. Vince Cable. Shirley Williams. We grew up and became less of a protest party and more professional. We started winning by-elections and having more than 6 seats.

It is important to distinguish us from a European Liberal (centre-right) party. It is also important to remember that we're internationalists. And it is important to remember that we're not too different from a European Liberal party; we definitely believe in free trade across borders.

So, the European project is a part of British Liberalism which cuts across both internationalism and market freedoms. It's in the political DNA of nearly all Lib Dems.

Brexit is one of the few things we pretty much all agree on (that it's a terrible catastrophe).

I hope that helps you understand us a bit better.

Capitalism = bad, Markets = OKish.

It's only the Tories who believe in unrepentant profit mongering as a good way to organise society. (Oh, and UKIP. are they still a thing?)

I am a candidate in very north london, we're all organised for this possibility.

"May you live in interesting times."

You mean how we can fix the leaks.

(I'm not sure where you get the authority to ban people from authority from. That was a fun sentence!)

Has anyone played both Covert Action and Invisible, Inc for comparison?
