Remember, when the guardsmen are protecting a brutal ruler you don't need many people to ambush their convoys and share their loot with the poor.

Quite possibly, although cruises don't even cost that much if you compare them to other holiday options. Especially for what you get.

Was looking it up and if I drank more it would easily be worth it with the all inclusive drinks packages and cheaper than a lot of other "budget" holidays. But while I can happily drink over 5 pints on a rare occasion I don't really want to every day for a week.

I live near a cruise port and know a lot of people who have been on them and not had a problem.

Are planes any better though?

Why?

What's with some of the really judgemental comments towards some people going on a cruise? Like what would you rather people do for a holiday

The real scam was capitalism?

Ohhh very high spec there, does explain the high price though.

I like orbital space factories. Kinda wish we could barrel up fuel to make that on my orbital factory though but at least fuel production takes much less space than asteroid collection and crushing.

Most likely looking at 3 different platform types:

Static factories - pretty self explanatory

Resource miners - speed isn't too important, efficient fuel usage and devour as many rocks as possible

Transporters - fast and high cargo capacity

Now that Factorio is on Arm I could consider it. Still kinda dislike the lack of a generic boot loader that just works across any device though.

Got a dremel and have wondered about using it to carve out a turnip. Would probably want one of the large power carving bits, not sure what its like carving things with loads of moisture inside. Pretty sure I remember reading its better to use the flex shaft so you don't risk getting moisture inside the motor.

Bought my house a few years ago, would love to see prices drop. Ideally gradually rather than a sudden crash though. Like if they just stagnate in absolute value and inflation eats away at the labour required to pay for them, that would be great.

Higher minimum wage, static house prices. I see a lot of the middle class crying about minimum wage going up here, I say fuck em. Bring on a living wage for all!

Quick edit - currently rumoured to be that minimum wage will be rising £13.20 (17.50USD).
