    hell no i didn't say that

    i'm just saying it seems to be a pretty common problem wherever i look that schools, hospitals, transport infastructure is behind the curve of our population growth

    it doesn't take a crystal ball to see what will happen if we carry on following this trend

    build more shit or place a limit on how many kids people can have

    pick one

    But this is entirely wrong. People are having fewer kids, not more. There is no overpopulation problem.

    There is no overpopulation problem. Not even worldwide. Resource distribution is borked in much of the planet, but that's not a population issue.

    Trying to get Americans to have even fewer children than we do now is madness. It's national suicide.

    then stop yur goshdarn belly-aching pay your fucking taxes and build more fucking infastructure

    Did you just miss my above post on this?

    Politics and logic do no go together. There have been pushes for rebuilding infrastructure. Some places are even doing it. See my post on how Denver has increased its light rail and is building more.

    But huge country, lots of variation plus political parties that are basically trying fight for power not do what is right for the country tend to lead to these types of manufactured crisis that could be solved.

    I could be wrong, but I think Spool has gotten on the infrastructure train?

    wonderful

    perhaps he could get his party and fellow conservatives on board too

    Pfft, expecting the republican party to actually support a productive policy?

    Overpopulation and infrastructure are so different that I have no idea why one would be a solution to the other.

    I mean, I sort of see it if I squint, but I don't think the connection is as obvious as you might, Casual. In that it isn't really presenting an "unpalatable choice" against an obvious one as it is purple monkey dishwasher.

    thomamelas sarks said you recommend this brand or something

    is this true

    @skippydumptruck

    Yes, I do. I use that router at home and have had great success with it. And I use their enterprise grade stuff at work for projects. Their stuff has been rock solid for me.
    There's no living with a killing. There's no goin' back from one. Right or wrong, it's a brand... a brand sticks. There's no goin' back. Now you run on home to your mother and tell her... tell her everything's alright. And there aren't any more guns in the valley.

    Well...that meeting with his teacher went almost as horribly as it could have. On top of missing homework and a paper that's due next week that I had no idea about guess what else he did?

    He forged my fucking initials on his reading log. And the sad thing is he would have gotten away with that had I not been there to see the signature since he just passed it into his teacher this morning. *FURIOUS*

    Do you keep the girl in a sauna or just wrap her boobs in a warm towel fresh from a dryer?

    I bet wrapping your boobs in a warm towel or blanket feels great.

    yep and this is what my gripe is about

    right and left are more interested in inter party bickering than ohhh i don't know, running their fucking countries like they're supposed too

    i especially single out the right wing for blame though because they're the ones obsessed with smaller government (hence less government projects like infastructure), less taxes (hence less money for infastructure) and unregulated greed from the private sector (which results in lots of money being spent and not a fucking lot happening because it all goes on executive pay and shareholder bonuses instead of what it was supposed to be doing)

    Damn synonyms. This was hard to translate first because there's a flag covering up part of the second word, so it could be a ق or a ف, but then the letter after it also isn't clearly visible, but is probably an alif based just on the break in the bottom line. Then there's the issue of "isqaat" (إسقاط) meaning both "drop" as well as "overturn/overthrow."

    So it translates to, "The people want to overthrow the regime" (الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام).

    That "put restrictions on immigration/births" is not as obvious an alternative to "build more stuff" as you seem to think? It is infact a pretty ridiculous one and the strawiest of men.

    Our infrastructure is also by and large terrible to begin with. Like I'm confident that by the time early U.S. settlers left the densely populated northeastern seaboard, they just went buck wild at the sight of all this land and deliberately put shit as far away as possible. Miami is 100% like this; you basically cannot exist in this city without a car, both because of the poor urban planning but also because of the essentially non-existent public transit.

    On schools in particular even if you adjust for modern population density you're still not really hitting the mark as there is such thing as an optimal class size that allows for more student/teacher interaction which produces better students.

    And then we get into all the fun conversations that involve problems with under-funding of education and a whole thread worth of higher learning discussion. :P

    The tutorial will at least tell you where everything is.

    I watched some let's plays before buying so I had an idea but I am still finding things out.

    From the forum
    Answer:
    Space Bar -- Pauses the game
    "+" or "-" -- Speeds up or slows down the game
    "B" -- Opens the build menu for subspace projectors and other platforms
    "Q" -- Opens up ship orders menu
    Tab -- Reveals Ship Components
    Alt -- Shows ship allegiance with an overlay
    Control + 1-9 -- Assigns selected ships a fleet number
    Alt + Left Mouse Button -- Move fleet in straight line
