Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted?
All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

Oh, in systemd is it? How quaint!

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

“2015 to 2025 were the hottest 11 years ever measured, but…the rising temperature experienced by humans on the surface [is] only 1% of the faster-accumulating heat in the wider Earth system… There is no respite in sight” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Nearly three-quarters of England’s woods inaccessible to public, study finds Exclusive: Campaigners call for government to introduce right-to-roam bill that allows people to walk around their local woodlands

Guy Shrubsole said “It’s appalling that three-quarters of all the woodland in England is inaccessible. Everyone loves trees, but thousands of woods are off-limits simply because of corporate logging interests or due to a landowner using their woods for pheasant shooting.”

We are in a war of Donald's choosing. Scores of Iranian children are dead; six American service members are dead. The depraved man responsible for those deaths went on a tangent about his gold curtains and his $400 million ballroom because those are his priorities.

And two more tonight?! The phrases "Le Roi Des Fourmis" and "Like A Friend" dropped in close succession - more than a little obscure though!

But will it do the fandango?

Is thirty snickers in a dessert any better?

Oh that's cool! 😂

E:D and Depeche Mode in one post?!

You win Bluesky today :)

We all start out that way, commander! What are you flying? If you've lost 20mil, it sounds like you're not in an ideal ship.

It's all about figuring out which ships move well, getting some better thrusters and ideally engineering them.

Cobra Mk III is excellent while you get the basics down!

Thanks, commander! o7

BGS economic chains - have you found a good reference for that at all? I've been trying to find out some more detailed information about how it all works to help me plan my system!

Great progress! Should be smooth sailing now :)

Best of luck with them CM Composites!

Although this afternoon's experience is that Insulating Membranes are even trickier 😅

I think LYR and Antal are quite science-orientated and eventually give bonus payouts for exploration data.

Grom can give a 15% exploration bonus.

I'm not sure about frontline, but you can certainly earn good merits on foot for stealing goods or uploading malware (stealthily or otherwise!)

Not a problem - there are a lot of ways to contribute to PP which don't involve combat at all. In fact, almost every game mechanic can be used to contribute in some way! What sort of things do you enjoy doing?

Have you gotten into powerplay at all? If not I recommend finding a discord server for your faction! If not I recommend pledging to Yuri Grom and joining us ;) discord.gg/JttRNMue

Nice find! 😁

o7 Commander!

I just bought my FC today and all! (I'd been waiting to check how much it was going to be to plant my colony flag before committing). It's been an exciting evening 😁

Very much right!

What we're *nearing* is the massive gory splatter on the ground :)
