You can’t do that anymore alas (except with the clan Nova) - you’re limited by the number of weapon mounts and heat management is now easier…

Play with keyboard and mouse - makes hitting things much easier. Redesign all mechs to have max armour. For most of the campaign bringing as many SRMs to the field as possible is good. Focus fire with your lance mates - makes them much more effective. Remove JJ - useless. LBX10s are great. Remove useless single LRM 5s and 10s from most things - put a lot of lrms on mechs with good quirks - Archer, Longbow

Mechwarrior 5 Mercs - stomping around the inner sphere with a 1000 to 1 kill ratio
- Comment on Temu: British artist's anger at finding work on site without permission 3 weeks ago:
Temu are stealing her work and profiting from it. It matters - clearly there are a bunch of people who can afford to keep art alive who are spending their money at Temu rather than with her. Sort that out and then art can be less dependent on public spending and thus more robust
- Comment on Rachel Reeves ‘plots tax raid on solicitors and GPs in crackdown on UK’s wealthy’ 5 weeks ago:
Ah - a sensible comment in a thread about a wealth tax 😁. Yes - wealth taxes do raise money if they’re on things that are hard to move - so land, property. Also death duties - add up the estate, take a percentage. Anything else is more trouble than it’s worth. Better to effective and enforced income and consumption taxes.
And no getting away from the fact that it doesn’t solve the problem - to do that most people will have to pay more tax, and government needs to get much more efficient.

And they’ve got my credit card details, and an email address and purchase history more than 18 years old. So use that…

Nothing worth pinching

Exactly - loading all your need for companionship, relationships and love onto a single person and relationship (and type of relationship) is guaranteed to cause disappointment- it’s too much for person. I’ve been happily married for years, and key to that is other friends, companions and family.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 3 months ago:
I think it depends on whether it’s active or passive. Active - e.g. a laser that damages a camera sensor, then yes, your device is actively damaging someone else’s camera - deliberate property damage. Passive - e.g. reflective strips so the exposure is bad, a pattern that is hard to focus on or similar- that’s fine - camera owner is making a decision to expose their gear to the environment. Even if, say, it’s a changing pattern that deceives the autofocus into working constantly (no, I don’t know exactly how that would work, but it’s the best I can think of at short notice) so it wears out faster.

Garbage In, Garbage Out. Not enough info, so can’t provide meaningful response, I guess, in this case. That said - I wouldn’t be happy, done know why they would be.

Except, it seems, in Brazil. You learn something new every day

Why?
- Comment on Is there ever a situation where a doctor can legally refuse to render aid to someone? 1 year ago:
Yes, many. In most cases a trained doctor has a moral, and maybe contractual, responsibility to help some one, not a legal one. There is no law that says ‘you are trained doctor, you have to help fix this broken leg’. Now if you egregiously refuse the various medical licensing authorities might take a dim view and you might loose your license to practice, but that’s not the same as breaking the law
