I remember reading an article interviewing a man who lived through the early aughts Argentine Great Depression and he said the best horde of value was cheap diamond rings. You could trade one for a handgun, a couple of bags of groceries, even a motorcycle. He said they were even better than krugerrands. Something about how people trusted someone whose trading a family ring more then some profiteer.

I know comparing corporations to psychopaths is kind of unfair to psychopaths. Most psychopaths can see themselves farther into the future then the end of the quarter.

I think the one you’re really looking for is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. In the climax the whole party is piling on the BBG but they’re doing it using D&D’s rules of initiative so each ‘player’ gets a 6 second encounter where they get to hit the enemy and then it moves on to the next one.

also that’s a roulette table not a poker table.

I shouldn’t have fallen for the trap but I was hungry :)

Has anybody got any personal recommendation from this list?

I found Shotcut very easy to use.

Interestingly, The Tragedy of the Commons really does work with psychopaths, so once you move from a person to person level to corporations interacting the Tragedy of the Commons problem becomes a serious issue. Take a minimum wage, it necessary for the population as a whole to have surplus wealth to spend to keep an economy going. Individual companies, on the other hand, have an incentive to pay their own employees a pittance. If every company does that then there’s no surplus wealth for people to purchase most goods and slowly the economy grinds to a halt. Hence it’s in society’s best interest to have a healthy and large minimum wage (or better yet a UBI system) which will have to be enforced on companies by an outside force.

So British tourists, collecting for their museum?

That’s a funny way to spell zeppelin.

Colin Powell couldn’t even pull that shit off.

Death’s Door - I’m not going to lie I’m old. 3d platformers, hell any platformers that require quick reflexes and precise controls aren’t normally my bag, but this funky little crow is so much fun to play as, I don’t mind the difficulty. (Which I have to admit isn’t that hard I just suck)

There’s a lot of great advice here, but the most important piece of I ever got as an expecting parent was “Your baby isn’t my baby” Keep in mind that most pieces of advise you get are probably helpful but they might not apply to you and partner and your new kid.

But for me the second best was to see if your wife can express some bottles of milk so that you can do some feedings. Breast milk is great but it doesn’t need to be fresh from the tap. If you’ve got a few bottles in the fridge you can take over a feed and let her sleep. It’s also great for you bonding with you kid.

Nope you’re not crazy … well at least not about this, you might be stark raving loony but the Hook DVD did have a game: Hook DVD Review - BBC

Yeah Scorsese has shit he wants to say, and it’s interesting and compelling stuff. But it doesn’t fit in a tight ninety minutes and I miss a tight ninety minutes.
