  • Glad to see you already picked it up. I read it in "one sitting" over the a couple of months at a slow job. The start was painful, but added really good context to her character.

    I cant speak to a Coil like villain that isn't Coil in the books, but if you are were I think you are, there are many "cold blooded and amazing actions by an anti-hero, villain or hero with a plan" instances left in the book, many of them major plot points.

    I cant say anymore without major spoilers, but if the above is your criteria, the books have some pleasant surprises for you if you finish them.

  • You might enjoy the web novels Worm. The main protagonist is basically exactly the above, an antihero by necessity with an "evil" power. The book in general lends itself to grey morality, even for the heroes. The actual villains? Actual evil. The author likes to imagine unorthodox super powers and really makes the characters with them really sing.

    Be warned though, it's a web novel that is literally something like "normal" 20 books long. Besides a rare lurch or two, it's also a surprisingly very good 20 novels.

  • $2300, and that assumes that they can even get the materials.

    China has silently stopped shipping a lot of metals used in high tech applications that it controls 90% of the stock of. The 10%? Our previous trade partners Canada and Australia, who aren't big fans right now.

  • Im not happy about the look of the shades, but what bothers me so far is that lack of inherent menace, the sense of barely constrained violence of Molly.

    She needs to radiate imminent death. So far, I'm just seeing an attractive woman in a "futuristic" suit with shiny sunglasses. Molly wasent just "shades and blades," she was someone jacked to the nines, lithe and ferocious.

    The stills aren't doing her justice. Hopefully live action does.

  • Nat 20 is very, very commonly used by GMs to mean "critcal success" in or out of combat, no matter the explict rule. Same goes for nat 1 being a "critical failure."

    Why? Because it makes the game better for everyone to have these rare rolls rewarded or hilariously punished.

  • Walz has been specifically mocking Tesla's stock plummet these past few months. Hes not saying they are equally important, hes just using this to taunt Musk.

    A 1 day 10% drop is a gut punch worth mentioning. Being a meme stock means that the only thing holding it up is the idea that it will always go up. When the meme fades and it has to compete on fundamentals, a car company missing sales targets by 13% in one quarter ain't gonna do it.

  • Assets can fall further. Much further. Telling people to "hold on" is only correct if this is the bottom, which is basically impossible to accurately predict. Being able to do so would make you incredibly wealthy.

    If it's not the bottom, selling and holding cash and buying in when the market is lower is a better play. Basically, it's better to lock in 10% losses and buy back in at the 30% loss point then to take the 30% losses.

  • Smart lights should be used rarely because they have a failure state. Smart switches are the answer here for most lighting. These are light switches that also have radios in them to connect to zigbee/zwave/matter/whatever to control the switch if the connection is available.

    Lutreon sells high quality, but somewhat expensive ones that work flawlessly.
