There now exists clean sponges in this house, once again.

Now to hide them from everyone except me. Why in the name of Zeus simple things like washing off the sponge or not letting it sit in dirty wash water for days seems impossible for the other people I've lived with over the years I don't know. Little bit of cleaning and effort and sponge will be in good shape for dish washing for five, six months. These people ruin them in a couple weeks.

But now I have new sponges, and by the gods no one else is getting them. My sponges, damn you all!

Also garbage cans. Those are going to help. And hair ties! No more rubber bands. Rubber bands work very well for keeping hair up but hurt like hell to get off. Point being few necessities/life easements acquired and now happier than yesterday.

Got some good tricks, though, and it's solid up until your plain shot starts shooting faster. Neatest thing I've noticed about it is that it apparently has some drop. Get a bit back and fire at a tall critter on a ledge below you and some of the shots might hit small critters you normally couldn't land a hit on. Helps a bit with clearing off those impacted ledges, heh. You can also jump while it's going off, which took me a while to notice.

Eh. Cannibalism is passe in the face of a reverse Zeus story. Go North Korean military go, seduce that god-figure! His essence is divine, so it's going to take like fifty of you! Make sure to turn into geese or something.

I can certainly see the navy taking some downsizing. Not much, of course, because it's a lot easier to move a tank by sea rather than air. However, trying to mothball current carrier groups seems a pretty tenuous solution to me. Better to just carefully phase out one or two of them

Maybe just sell or not build a few of the new planes. Quick eyeball said that about three F-35s (and we're apparently planning on buying quite the crapload) would have covered the entire tuition cost last year (if they didn't include an engine or, apparently weapons. Full loadout, three would have paid the tuition aid something like three times over.).

S'actually one of the comparisons/complaints I've heard pretty often. Carriers are one thing, but planes are considerably another and somewhere we can probably skim some fat from pretty easily. Wiki thinks they're planning on cutting a bit in that area, but... maybe cut a little harder. Unless we're doing some particularly nasty shit behind the scenes (beyond what we actually are, I guess), I don't think there's much in the world with a notable airforce that's actually hostile to us or would be any time this... ever.

E: I'm not sure what it says when cutting tuition on ~200k soldiers is preferred to cutting out three or four machines, really. Seems backwards, even if it's ostensibly faster.

Chess is good though. Strong approval of chess.

Chess is one of the most violent games in existence and a known tool for some of the most dangerous people our world has ever seen >_>

... though I don't disagree. Chess is pretty alright.

Though I just realized, having recalled skimming over that page a few hours ago, that they promote snakes and ladders in the same body of text they condemn anything including snakes as tools of the devil. Neat.

Random question for the more familiar with the varying series.

Borg tribbles. Is that actually a thing?

Probably more along the lines of "looking to make trumped up reasons to fire people so you don't have to pay unemployment" or something along those terms. Pretty much everything SG's mentioned is pointing to them intentionally making the bar impossible to reach so they have legally justifiable reasons to fire people. Assuming they even need one in his state, dunno.

Basically, they're not going to revet the process. The process is doing exactly what they intend it to do.
