Well when two cybertrucks love each other very much…

Cosmere books have an interesting spin on it. First an important caveat: all powers require some sort of fuel in the cosmere universe, or some sort or store/release mechanism. Therefore while poor and rich alike can gain powers, being able to afford to use those powers can vary. Some individual series deets(all of these exist in the same galaxy, but across different planets and sometimes different levels of tech)

Mistborn starts out looking like it fits the comic, with main characters being halfbloods with noble parents. However, some of the supporting super-powered people don’t have that background, and as you go down the series some things start revealing what people believe about the powers isn’t quite true.

Stormlight doesn’t follow the bloodline thing at all, and various people of all classes and bloodlines develop superpowers, and inheriting it isn’t the mechanism at all. Money can be a limiting factor, but isn’t strictly one.

Warbeaker is somewhat more mixed. There is a power system anyone in the whole population can use, but the logistics of using it means people in power have a much easier time getting the needed resources to use it at higher levels. The resource is kinda tricky, so it isn’t something that can be regulated or even stolen, but can be gained by anyone who can convince, coerce, or pay someone for their resource(everyone is born with 1, but you need lots to be powerful).

In addition, of the 4 main protags, 2 are princesses of a minor tribelike country, one is mysterious and too much spoilers to discuss, while the 4th is treated as a minor God, but is treated that way due to a more unique power system, but also one that isn’t class based. A bit complicated but a concept explained early in the book: Returned are people who come back to life, and people worship them because of two features they have: they might dream about the near future, but won’t understand it themselves, and they can sacrifice their second life to perfectly heal any one person. They have limits I won’t go into here though.

Summary: powers in their true form do not discriminate, but situations and societal structure allows some of them to be manipulated that way.

That was like the only thing I really liked in Last Jedi. Her being completely a nobody made me look upon it more favorably when I watched it, because I assumed they’d make her related and was so impressed they didnt.

Intragalactic war?

But… you asked how it’s nonprofitable… how is it profitable if they don’t get paid?

The way he speaks is worse than the looks imo, but still not as bad as it could be.

As in the amount who can successfully pursue jobs in that field that pay enough to live off of. Even education jobs are having a hard time with pay.

Some types of art appear to look great because of those in the field who are hugely successful, but for every successful pop star or diva, how many people keep trying to make music, make something decent but don’t get off the ground? Indie music has its place, but a lot of really successful artists are connected to the industry by family or friends etc, same with a lot of acting talent nowadays.

You could argue other jobs have similar limits but they’re usually much more dense.

It has a limit. Lots of talented artists out there still looking for jobs. I know someone looking for a while and they worked on Archer(backgrounds and layout artwork).

Same applies to green tea. Shouldn’t go over 175F, or it’ll be overly bitter as it extracts more caffeine.

Boiling green tea is also considered burnt, as green teas recommended steeping temp is 170-175, unless I misunderstood what you mean there.

As a person who got trapped because our family’s diesel car got gelled in cold weather, I’m not sure your generator is going to help.

There is a whole franchise in the US called Honey Baked Ham. Americans love their sugar.

I think they were all homo sapiens.

And I say your 3% titanium tax doesn’t go too far enough!

I work at a MSP, and we support a variety of customers, some with quite old hardware. I still on occasion have to assist in replacing 1.8TB SCSI 7200RPM drives in a RAID array. Finding compatible drives gets harder every time.

Reference to “History of the World, I guess.”

It has a running theme of religions forming, then during all the beheadings in France it says “You can make a religion out of this” followed quickly by someone retorting “No, don’t.”

I’m not sure. For me and some others, just mental maturity. Mine wasn’t that bad, I just thought a song was so good everyone would love it, then realized once I pushed some into listening to it that that wasn’t true. Vihart has a (to me) nice vid discussing her experience.

I think you have to edit them. Deleted comments show up when we hit reply to em.

Things don’t have huge backlashes with irate fandoms if there’s no one watching. They have to watch to get disappointed.
