The violin in question is really just a math model for string theory.

I’ll see myself out.

I think the important points from both are salient here. Everything in that quote is true, but it’s important to include that the groups, both in and out, are nebulous and subject to change because they must always exist even as dynamics change.

For anyone like me who’s curious what the 0/00 symbol means, it’s per mille, or per thousand. So 0.12 0/00 is the equivalent of 12/100k.

Thanks! I thought it might be, but I was unable to find anything on the internet to confirm.

Breakers are just one of those things I'd rather not be like "it's probably fine" and then find out it's not, y'know?

RAW = “Rules As Written”

RAI = “Rules As Interpreted”

Sometimes there’s a difference between the way a rule is worded and the way it’s played at a table.

Critical fails/successes on skill checks would be house rules/homebrew, though.

Well, to be fair…

A lot of the people that reliably vote for them are (willfully) fucking dumb.

When you’ve built your “platform” on the basis that the people who vote for you are just going to take whatever you say at face value, you might be surprised that only a minority of people work that way.

Heck it doesn’t even have to be a “deal”. I’m sure at least a few entities (Archfey, maybe) would grant magic powers just to see what happens. Sort of like the Outsider in Dishonored.

Aren’t those the taillights that tell you how loaded your truck is?

There’s tons of technology going into every part of a modern car. That’s why repair costs are going up.

You can read it as “being responsible for 10% of the [total] value destruction, equal to $4B”.

So if they’re responsible for 10% of the total value loss, and that’s equivalent to $4B, then 100% of the total value lost would be $40B.

Otherwise you would say “they’re responsible for destroying 10% of the value”.

FYI, they’re talking about the six-cylinder variant of the CX-90, not the Mazda6.

I imagine the extra grunt of an electric motor helps when you’re moving a 5300-lb SUV.

Since when does “not being comfortable role-playing” make you a bad player?
