Modern economic theory is founded on the premise of the rational actor. My economic theory is founded on the premise of the retarded actor.

Unpleasant and offputting to some extent = "picked no suitor, which is by definition not the correct suitor".
I think my limit on "significantly loses attractiveness due to weight" is about BMI 35 or so (100kg/220lb at 168cm/5'6''), which is significantly into the "obese" range.

By their nature, private businesses shouldbe focused on the long term if you consider a purely theoretical universe populated by homo economicus.
Private companies in the real world, headed by real humans, only rarely tend to be concerned with the long term.

Sailor Moon is too old for that anyway. It finished in '97.

Have you watched Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles?
I was just revisiting it and God, it’s good. They focus a bit more on the motherly side of Sarah and the difficulties she has trying to bring up a son and keep him safe whilst keeping her every bit as badass, John Connor grows in a very realistic and impressive way over the course of the series, and the new characters are very good too.

I'm back into Stoneshard, an early access turn based gritty RPG in the vein of Battle Brothers, created by Ukrainian devs disrupted by the war.
You're basically a medieval merc doing merc things for merc reasons. Detailed injury/morale system.
It has its flaws, but its great if you like the genre. You start out useless, but eventually carve your way into legend (and your enemy's guts).

also helped code AO3
That’s awesome, I never knew that! I knew she was a writer on video games but I didn’t realise she coded as well.

I like Temeraire but it annoys me how often the book goes, ‘Man isn’t Napoleonic England stuffy! Just as well dragon riders are rare and so we get to be as liberated as we please!’.

I wish they’d bring out more of the novels. I love the writing but the art doesn’t really do it for me.

Very true, but her work doesn’t seem religious at all (bar ‘Meyer is twisting your childrens’ minds in service of her evil cult’ articles). I mentioned Sanderson because he really, obviously cares about how man relates to god and manages to tell good stories about it.

£60 starting out, he told me. "Per hour?" I asked. "No, each month".
This is £2000 per month in today’s money. Not massively high, but amazing to see what inflation has done over the years.
Almost all in 1975, I’m not sure why.
