The corporate memphis version is somehow more disturbing than the original.

I've started adding chopped broccoli into the rice cooker with rice and quinoa. It adds a lot of flavour, and about as cheap as a superfood can get.

Is the quicksilver just what was earned from expedition rewards, or do some items convert to quicksilver?

I'll say the obvious because of where we are. Lemmy Kilmister.

Peep Show is my human litmus test. Seeing how people react to that show can tell you a lot about them.

Just brainstorming a semi-plausible explanations here. What if the variation is due to massive portals/wormholes to other planets? If you're standing near one that goes to a place with much higher gravity when it opens up, it could cause you to be pulled toward it, or increase gravity around that area. If these portals are kept secret, the gravity fluctuations as they open and close might appear to be as random as weather patterns.

Could be an interesting plot point too, if your story includes races that have secretly come through these portals. Their existence could be discovered by triangulating the gravity changes during an event. Lots of interesting possibilities.

In a lot of parliamentary systems that is what happens. In Australia it can result in a double dissolution election, in which every elected representative can potentially lose their job. The threat of that seems pretty effective at guaranteeing supply. Our conservatives would absolutely cripple the functions of government if they could.

This isn't the little death I asked for.

I'm surprised how long that's still been a working option. I made a subreddit with zero activity just to be a mod and keep using Boost.

I didn't even notice the ads, but purchased on principle because it's not a subscription.
