Because the bank has more money than you, the people who own the bank have more money than you, and the people who run the bank have more money than you.

((I don’t think I can do anything beyond my powers, really. I can choose minor manifestations in the class of powers I have chosen (currently telekinesis and divination) but they can’t affect things in a major way, and I need to spend XP in order to gain the ability to do that, which I wasn’t too willing to do as a starting thing. Possibly later, once I’ve got a bit more powerful…))

((I think I wanted the rocket ork’s rocket launcher, though given my character’s inability to use it, I might be better inviting the possibility of demons and assorted eldritch abominations instead))

The train is in range of my demon summoning mind powers
If you push it to the limit.
Walk along the razors edge, but don’t look down, you’ll keep your head, push it to the limit?
Bugger it. There’s only a 1% chance I’ll irreversibly explode.
PPE: never mind I can only add 3 to my psy rating which means I can only hit the engine (which, to be fair, is what we should be shooting anyway :p)
Cast Prescience unfettered, targeting the players on the main guns.
Cast Assail unfettered, aiming for the rocket Ork.

Biden isn’t some kind of socialist supreme, man. Dems are as dirty as Republicans when it comes to where they get their cash.

They were suspended with pay, actually.
Because an AI designed to imitate humans can imitate humans real good, and someone who should really know better went “it’s like a human!”

So computers have “learned” how to play chess and Go to better-than-grandmaster levels, what is different enough about language that it can’t “learn” to imitate humans?

Start channeling Prescience again, unfettered, targeting the players on the main guns and myself, and then shoot the rocket ork with an overloaded shot from my lascarbine.

I was under the impression he got suspended with pay, at least from the Beeb article on it.
It is quite foolish though, yes.
He was convinced it was sentient though, not sapient. But if you give a machine all the words and how to use the words, the machine is going to be able to imitate a human, mostly because a human designed it.8

Rapid Reload makes reloading the lascarbine a free action!
So let’s do that.

It isn’t but you claimed it and I’m cool with that.
My gun needs to get cleared at some point, and I’m not close enough to anything to use my powers, though I do have a question regarding that:
If I were to use my powers at a Push to increase my psy rating, would that higher psy rating increase the range of the power I’m using, assuming the range is related to psy rating?

The vehicle insurance package also covers injury to persons riding in your vehicle.
I don’t think that includes the kind of riding they were doing.
