I really, really want to like that side of the game. I love the idea of players pooling together their tiny, individual actions towards a greater shared goal and what it can bring in terms of RP and immersion. Having new content gated behind community participation is an awesome idea, and I totally get the idea of simulating a...
I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm....

Others have answered you question about non-directed nuclear blasts in space already. They don’t work the same way as in atmosphere; lack the blast or the thermal heat, etc. Enter the Casaba-Howitzer, a theoretical nuclear shaped charge that shoots a directed plasma stream at near light speed. This idea came about in the 60s along with nuclear blast propulsion.
The gist of it: with each passing decade there’s a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn’t showing up....
Why not both!? I can maximize my profits by producing the skimpiest, leakiest, shittiest micro condos (charged out at the most luxurious of prices) and also shaft my overworked, overextended, undersupported workforce (preferably foriegn, marginalized and/or vulnerable)! /s
Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don’t know who you are...
Read his Final Architecture series recently and absolutely loved it. The characters were great, the world building was interesting and the portrayal of eldritch horrors was so well done.
Starts with the Shards of Earth, highly recommend.
You are correct, the interest rate should be (1 + r / n)^n(t) - 1, where r = interest, n = number of periods, t = terms. This is handled by the PMT function in sheets and only requires the rate to be entered as r/n or 5.84/12. I did an earlier version of the chart without the cmhc interest included and it was producing spot on values that matched agaisnt other available mortgage calculators. My issue comes when adding in there cmhc amount. At this point the chart works as a quick reference, which is what I was looking for, but it would be good to get it right.
How do you feel about the galactic war?
