You could easily game the staff negotiation in theme park by pushing the hand far the the right and then drawing back slowly as the union rep reached out. If your timing is right you can get them to accept a negative rise each time.

Then increase the price of drinks and the ammount of ice in the drinks. The best way of making money. Apart from cheating. Cheating was the most moral way of getting more money.

Ms Adequate posted:Huh, normally if someone has to wait 75-odd years for the crown and then is on their way out after less than a year wearing it, they have truly incredible stats. Rip Chuck 3, lol if something somehow takes out William and his kids and we have King Harry, there'd be so much boiled piss This would be absolutely peak comedy timeline stuff. Harry quite obviously harbours a hell of a lot of resentment towards his family and probably would absolutely not want to be king. I'm not sure how far he's opposed to the institution of the monarchy as a whole but it does make me wonder what would happen if it did end up falling to someone in his position. What would actually happen if an overt republican black sheep member of the royal family became king and actively tried to gently caress over the whole institution? Could (for arguments sake assuming he's a secret commie) comrade Harry actually bring the whole thing down if he was just openly calling it out and using his many silly medieval legal privileges to leverage that? It would put parliament in a very awkward position because their options would be to agree, torpedoing the monarchy, or resist his overreach and get into conflict - which they'd win - with the crown, also torpedoing the monarchy. And it's not like it's exactly easy or politically feasible for MI5 to ensure someone is found on a hill in the Cairngorms having shot themselves five times in the back of the head when that person is the literal king.

This nonsense makes me ask a lot of questions. Is it even economically viable to re-open abandoned coal mines? I mean, they sure as hell weren't abandoned because the owners were getting too rich, right? And even if, Germany had a serious problem with our old, depleted coal mines slowly undermining our cities. It's a great joke of recent times that many still open coal mines are run as some sort of busy work to keep existing coal miners working. We also have tons of brown coal, and use gigantic horror machines to eat up the landscape. Maximum destruction for minimum gain, the German way. Is that even possible in Northern England? Does England have the right kind of coal for this kind of near-surface mining? Would the people in Northern England continue to vote for the party responsible for giant metal horrors eating their villages?* *Sometimes in the German South, entire villages are bought up and people living there are forced to relocate, since they are too close to or inside a planned mining zone. The village then just disappears from the map. The best way I can see this mad plan go is that everyone suckered into re-opening the old mines learns that the operators of the coal power plants would probably prefer to continue buying cheap, foreign coal. Then the mines re-close after a wave of bankruptcies.

The 'popular conservatives' trying to pick up on that is just stupid rear end poo poo, and yes it would run straight into the fact that one reason they closed was because they couldn't pay the miners a decent wage and still generate the profits that the owners wanted. And nobody really believes that the PopCons would side with the miners when they were reopened.

ThomasPaine posted:This would be absolutely peak comedy timeline stuff. It’s a funny thought experiment. I would think though if the King was openly calling for the abolition of the monarchy the most likely outcome though would be a bunch of the Commonwealth realms taking him up on that deal and the British parliament either giving in or transferring the crown to someone else (my bet would be leaning on Andrew to make him decline and passing the throne to his daughter Beatrice). And then the media would forget all about it just like they all forgot how much they hated Camilla. All that said I’d very much doubt that Harry is particularly opposed to Monarchy per se. There may be bad blood between his family and he might have a bit of a firmer grasp on reality but Henry the Ninth would probably just try to model himself on the various Scandinavian monarchs, slimming down the expenses and pomp to appear more of a “modern” king.

Pistol_Pete posted:Yep, sounds like they've used up their very expensive and limited supply of ground to air missiles taking out a bunch of flying lawnmowers and now they've got to withdraw. Do they not have CIWS guns or even like, a dual purpose main gun? Is it really entirely reliant on SAMs for anti missile defence? Also I approve of replacing the tomahawks with a gym, if you want to kill people on the land go get hench and do it yourself. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Modern warships don't have those ww2 style anti-aircraft flak guns any more, they've not really adapted to the new world of plentiful suicide drones. Afaik, they've normally got a small number of anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles onboard, plus a single smallish gun on the front deck for emergencies, e.g. if the Iranians try to swarm you with speedboats. I can imagine flak guns making a comeback in future, they'd be pretty effective against slow flying drones.

Not flak guns, like modern computer controlled, radar guided point defence guns. The americans use the ones with the big tic tac shaped ammo tank on the top and I think they license them out to the UK too. The iranians, funnily, also have a variant of the technology except they just glue four old soviet ZU-23s onto a robotic aiming mount and give control of it to a computer. As you say they seem like a better choice if you're worried about kamikaze drones because you don't have to spend expensive missiles on them, just a short burst of gunfire. I'm sure the RN has them on some of their ships so you would think they'd send one that did have them. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Feb 7, 2024 |

A gym is a better use of ship space anyway since then your guys can spec STR/END and medium roll out of the way of the drones.

Never known why he even wanted to be PM, beyond the bragging rights. I've got no doubt he'll be far happier once he's doing vaguely-defined duties on the boards of a number of obscure but extremely wealthy financial services firms (and probably earning far more than he does now, too).
