  1. What would the COVID Pandemic have looked like if COVID-19 was ten times more deadlier?

    Reaction to virus 10x deadlier would be different. It is possible that it would be have lower death toll due to earlier detection and SARS-like containment, ending with say 5 000 dead in total. Or people would panic even more with stupidity and fear fueled collapse of order.

  2. Kill Six Billion Demons

    And after that, all what was created is a decoration to make Solomon awesome. See https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-1-8/ "better life than under Pol Pot or Stalin or Hitler - probably" is a quite low bar.

  3. How to sign up QQ?

    If you actually see such message it may be coming from some sort of malware. If you see ads here, then you definitely have a malware infestation.

  4. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    In general any infection will cause damage by infection spreading, what exactly happens with COVID. Other typical issues will be overreaction of immune system (but sepsis was listed), or by spreading of toxic products of ongoing infection or consequences of nonfunctional body part. Main...

  5. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    Regular diseases can also have fun amount of complications. "Pneumonia is a serious flu complication that can result from either influenza virus infection alone or from co-infection of flu virus and bacteria. Other possible serious complications triggered by flu can include inflammation of the...

  6. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    If someone expects it from any scenario then they are delusional. It is question of what kind of bad consequences are preferable (though in New Zealand lockdown may be actually optimal) Not exactly. If increase in prices of things are not matched by increase in wages then regular people are...

  7. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    Duh. The same as for roads, military, sewer lines, welfare in general...

  8. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    I just want to note that this approach is often more effective. Realistic and rational view often leads to "guess I can give up anyway", especially in case of situation like here. While "I will work harder, it will definitely give results" may be misguided and false but actually more likely...

  9. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    In any story with at least a partial realism and characterization that makes sense her reaction is perfectly fine. Mind control, enslaving, attempted life-long slavery with all what is associated is perfectly fine reason to be a mopey a bit. In fact, lack of reaction (of some sort, that is one...

  10. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    20 years is remarkably optimistic.

  11. Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

    I really want to share it - but has anyone got source for that? There is a small chance that it is misinformation itself.

  12. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Matter to energy conversion happening at will would be lolbroken, one of few things as broken and powerful as HP magic Tsar Bomba, one of the most extreme entries in dick-measuring contests converted 2.3kg of matter into energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba - impractical as fuck...

  13. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    It was noted (in story or in author notes or maybe spoiled noes) that Harry grows much, much quicker than other dragons that were basically chronically malnourished. Note that for typical animal limitation is that it needs to hunt manually. Harry can tap into entire industrial civilization -...

  14. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Is he maybe trying to convert magic straight into electricity without going through conversion into kinetic (or other) energy as an intermediate step? The same for me (and it is it is rather how I am invested in Hermione storyline and how I am not expecting 100% foolproof plot armor - not about...

  15. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Oh, definitely. I think that Dumbledore and Amelia are masterfully written. Just give them some successes - so that they managed to bust at least some slavery operations before. World would be still fucked up, maybe even even more with "Aurors take down brothel with enthralled slaves" being a...

  16. Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    I feel that Amelia/Dumbledore were made here a bit too powerless overall, with basically no progress in rooting out slavery (before Hermione case) . Is it intentional to preset Dumbledore solution as nearly complete failure? I feel it would be more interesting if they had at least some...

  17. Criticisms about the Magical World (Harry Potter only)

    Why it would collapse? It is something that may be handled however you want and be canon-compatible. You can go with nearly depowered ones (with typical wizard having trouble to cast shield charm) to lolpowered - with everyone making Fidelius level world-warping magic casually and Imperius...
