Supply and demand only works when the market is free.
The free market can only be balanced by supply and demand when people have the option not to buy.
The job market is not a free market when survival is on the line.
Medicine is not a free market when survival is on the line.
Under these conditions, demand is fixed at infinity, and the price can be set as high as the supplier likes. This issue has already been partially addressed through laws governing these markets, but those laws haven’t been updated as they are supposed to, resulting in the current issues with minimum wage being way too low. In my opinion, UBI is a more direct way to address the issue than minimum wage, because people will be free to value their time on their own terms, rather than minimum wage being a necessary safeguard against employers taking advantage of their unlimited control over the price of people’s time.
Tangential, but another market that problematically isn’t free is the internet service market, because often there is only one company available to purchase from. This prevents competition, inhibiting the balancing that a free market would provide.

Pay people more to do those jobs. Let supply and demand balance the job market.
IMO there should be a universal basic income, but people who want more should be able to work to earn more.

I once saw cans of “dehydrated water” sold as a gag gift at a camping gear store.

A lot of people miss this key piece about how science changes: old science isn’t less correct than new science, it’s just less precise. Newton’s equations are extremely useful approximations in most cases, but Einstein’s versions hold in extreme edge cases and to higher precision.

But you aren’t going to need to prepare every exotic armor for that. There’s probably at most like 10 options per class you’d really need, and you could probably get away with 5 or less.

Lol.
Problems I encountered:
- having to abandon the seasonal activity 3 times before I finally managed to complete it without encountering a bug that made it impossible to continue
- being unable to invite to or join fireteams
- friends not showing as friends or clan mates not showing as clan mates
- being unable to send friend/clan requests
I was able to log in without any issues, so at least there’s that.

Yes the real issue is on line 24 where you forgot a semicolon, but the parser managed to make ‘sense’ of the next 7 lines, until it got to the {

The velocity of the surface of the earth is constantly changing for similar reasons. Not to mention the constant vibrations of anything not at 0K, or just from being in a room with air.
It’s a game mechanic that doesn’t have a good physical explanation.

So torque modules work with the raptor? Do they generate torque while you are gliding? I wasn’t sure if it would only be while you are flapping or not.

Items lost to explosions, lava, and cactus could be added to the storage as well. This makes less sense, but it would be nice.
If you did this, you’d now need a dedicated trash chunk (or even a 3x3 chunk area, if you can recover from adjacent chunks) I’m order to safely dispose of items.
My current item disposal system is a cactus. I’d like to keep it that way.

For every bad repair experience I’ve had with Apple I’ve had like 3 good ones.

My camera broke on my iPhone X. Apple quoted me something like $600. Tbf that’s about half of what a new phone of the latest model would cost, but still doesn’t seem worth it. I’m currently waiting for the next phone release before I buy a new one.

I think I read somewhere that it initially was celebrated in the summer, but it was moved to winter to coincide with some pagan holidays.

You’ve made a rudimentary knife to hunt/cook/build shelter? Sounds like a weapon to me.

I think the issue is having 10 different game engines in one game is roughly the same amount of effort as making 10 different games.

Is there any chance we could get a Sturm/Drang rework? I really enjoyed that combo around when they first came out, but with changes in ammo economy and weapon damage they are just unusable nowadays.
In particular, Sturm needs a buff. Maybe the overloaded rounds should be anti-overload or anti-unstoppable. It also would make a lot of sense to make Sturm a special weapon, so using the combo wouldn’t necessitate running two primary weapons.

Grovyle my boi! I did think Dusknoir was a bit of an odd choice for a protagonist Pokemon, but hey, any Pokémon can be a good or bad Pokémon, right? I should have listened to my instincts…
