The Nazis were vigorously against Global Revolutionary Socialists, yet they went pretty damned hard on dragging corporations under the party's thumb, handouts for workers, and general autistic central planning. They were not hardline "abolish all property" Marxists, but their economic policies...

Does have the caveat that ammo is extremely strictly constrained, but then that's often the case for inner-city gangs as well from how wild black market prices get.

There are indications that part of it is genetic factors regarding rebelliousness were eradicated by the history of rice paddy farming.

Not really, one of the underlying issues is that the area is a horribly fragmented clusterfuck of municipalities making it literally impossible to have urban planning for the overall metropolis.

Not everywhere. Mostly blue areas, in fact. Catastrophic backfire.

And the relevant infrastructure is exactly what Google is the nearest use-case for, hence completing searches in fractions of a second. Latency reduction at this point is mostly about signal processing clockspeed, motherboard bottlenecks, and directness of the physical wires. And there's so few...

It's already been tried with Stadia, the issue is that the fundamentals of the infrastructure have latency problems for gameplay purposes. There's netcode wizardry to disguise parts of it, but the time it takes for the control inputs to reach the server means pure server-side is going to be...

Of course, that's once the canonization settled a few centuries after the fact. With literary near-redundancy from a line of differing transcriptions in the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, to much argument of exactly where the differences were drawn from.

By baking yellowcake, in the culinary sense.

Not according to NOAA or USGS. And the per volume intensity on the ground is negligible. The Carrington Event and 1989 Ontario blackout weren't caused by direct interference like an EMP, they were caused by the induction of telluric currents that compromised the circuit of the long-distance...

The Carrington Event wasn't an EMP, it was a geomagnetic storm. The reason for the damage is the flux over long distances without proper ground, which fucks up power management (and telegraphs) but down at the personal electronics scale is basically nothing.

The Carrington Event recurring is maily a problem for large-scale electrical work like power grids because it has to do with the flux difference over distance. Your phone, car, desktop PC, etcetera will almost certainly not be damaged, but there's fuck-all stockpile of gridscale parts and it...

Resulting crossover thought: Bit of the Clan Invasion Fleet runs into Niadra who's here because blowing up the Protoss warp drive mid-trip sent her spiraling off in strange directions, her abandonment issues rise to new hights because the Jump Drives scramble her telepathic control. So there's...

By Wookiepedia, lightsabers were also all Kyber crystals in the old EU material, but the term then was denoting the application and possibly some Force-related treatment process rather than the starting material.

Got purged from Disney canon, it's all Kyber now.
