  • Those meetings you have had with politicians could absolutely be classified as lobbying, and would be made illegal if lobbying was outlawed.

    It's not just classified as lobbying, it's litterally what Lobbying is about. Meeting politician to tell them that the environmental law reforms means that the factory will close or that the consumer need better protection regarding toxic chemical in their food is what Lobbyist do. It's sometimes get even funnier when they change employer and therefore political side

  • Swim, if necessary get a couple of classes. So you can enjoy the exercise aspect of it.

    If there is a water slide on whatever, it's not just for kids, so you can have some fun there too.

    Just a thing, please don't block the swimming lanes to play around, it'll be annoying for you and the swimmers

  • There is tons of "standalone" software that you can run on your own PC

    • For Text generation, the easiest way is to get GPT4All package which allows you to run text generation model in CPU on your own PC
    • For image generation, you can try to get Easy difusion package which is an easy to use stable diffusion package, then if you like-it, time to try the "comfyUI"

    You can check !localllama@sh.itjust.works and !imageai@sh.itjust.works for some more information

  • Now, there is room a plot-twist, where the PC hear about a monster looking for healing potion for his brother, and who murdered their father. Monsters have feeling too, and adventurer are awful murderers

    Assuming that their victim will seek for revenge and that authorities will hunt them is a good way to force murder hoboes to calm down

  • Are you getting paid or are you in a country with these infamous zero hour contracts? If yes, it's basically the point of zero hours contracts, you have a bunch of people ready to work which cost you nothing the rest of the time. In civilized countries this would be managed using temporary contracts often through dedicated agencies, and you would still be eligible to unemployment when not umployed. Talk to your union and representative to get these laws to change

  • A big difficulty is that between the scientific discover, and the application years or even decades can occur. Look at how supra conductor have been known for 100 years and still have very few real life usage.

    My thoughts tough

    • Life on Mars. I don't talk about Martian, but if we find remain of bacteria it would be a major breakthrough in biology

    -physics beyond the standard model at LHC, no impacts for commoner, but would really help physics to understand our universe

    More on technology/applied science

    • Next generation cures against cancer with high efficiency/specificity. I think about targeted alpha therapy and immunotherapy. If these get real, a cancer isn't 6-12 month of painful treatment for followed by a year of recovery, but something a single injection can cure.
    • Male birth control, would give men a better control of their own fertility and give one more option to couple where the woman can't use birth control
    • high temperature supra conductors, by high temperature I mean anything above 100K in normal pressure, high current, high magnetic field. Would allow to use way more super conducting magnet than today. Imagine a world where quenching a MRI doesn't turn off the machine for 3 months.
  • This is making planning ever more complicated, I try to have 4 or 5 player, so the game can run with 1 or even two player not showing. Sure if someone just don't show on a regular basis, I'll re open her place to a new player. But people are abroad for work, have to deal with their kids, or have a peak of work, they let us know, and we find an in game reason for their character so not be available and the game runs fine.

    Even when the GM miss, we all have ready to play one shots lying on our computers, so not that of a big deal

  • Player cancelling aren't that of a big deal comparing to GM cancelling. In the first case you keep playing while shit talking about Bob, in the other, you have to change your plan for the evening
