Chalicothere by Gabriel U. This group of extinct perissodactyls diverged from the ancestors of horses, rhinos and tapirs no later than the Eocene. -
If you think of universal basic income as just "more money," you aren't understanding it and what makes it so different and effective.@scottsantens @EndlessMason Well initially a lowish level UBI may not actually provide many families with a much larger income - the immediate aim as Scott says is to *stabilise* lower incomes. But anything eventually making poor folk richer needs measures against being predated: specific taxes that target wealth (LVT), controlling rents, regulating utilities etc can all play roles. UBI doesn't fix inflation or rent-seeking on its own, that's true, it's an important tool not a solo magic bullet.

Hey, Fedi. Help me help a friend.@ShaulaEvans by bug facts are you being taxonomically strict or is any invertebrate fact ok?

Makes hiring a full team of trailblazers, porters, and muleteers quite the adventure@periaptgames The muleteers are one thing, but it's the mules that are *really* tricky!

I am finding it much easier to create a fantasy world for a videogame than for a pen and paper campaign@juergen_hubert @yora Or another way to put it, there's not really a ton of interest available if you want to play most Elder Scrolls games as a priest or as a religious character, despite there being so much theoretical depth to those systems.

I am finding it much easier to create a fantasy world for a videogame than for a pen and paper campaign@juergen_hubert @yora Yeah, I don't necessarily mean hammering it down, I just mean interacting with characters' beliefs about it more. Especially regarding religion: except the Talos controversies there's really only the odd quest here or there for Skyrim characters if you want to dig into the religious side for example (and most of the daedric stuff is daedra very directly poking you to clean their laundry or get their shopping rather than thinking about their cults).
