I have a laser rifle, which does decent damage and can fire 25 shots for each energy pack. I have the required ingredients to convert it to a pulse rifle, but is it worth it, or will that just eat faster into my ammunition supply? How many shots can a pulse rifle do per energy pack?

@Fluttershy Oh good, another bad movie in which morgan freeman plays a magic negro.

Fluttershy

@LessPop_MoreFizz I like scifi movies. And I have a $100 theater gift card that I still haven't touched. So... I'll probably go see it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Magical Negro

The Magical Negro is a supporting stock character in American cinema who is portrayed as coming to the aid of a film's white protagonists. These characters, who often possess special insight or mystical powers, have been a long tradition in American fiction. Many within the African-American community in the United States now express unhappiness about the ongoing use of such magical characters. In 2001, Spike Lee, while discussing films with students at Washington State University and at Yale University, said he was dismayed at Hollywood's decision to continue using the premise; he noted ...

Offensive stock role is offensive. :/

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz he may well be but he's got badass goggles and that counts for something

LessPop_MoreFizz

It doesn't help that along with president, that is basically the only role freeman ever plays.

@LessPop_MoreFizz he's in a good rut

FEichinger

He does play the roles well, though. The movies themselves are just crap more often than not.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FEichinger No, the Magic Negro role is one that arguably can't be played well. It's inherently offensive.

I'm not going to shit all over Freeman, because dude's gotta eat, but the fact that he has been so thoroughly typecast is horribly depressing.

user20683

@LessPop_MoreFizz Morpheus is a good example

user20683

LessPop_MoreFizz

@WorldEngineer Morpheus is also a Magic Negro, yes.

There have been dozens, nay, hundreds of Magic Negros over the years. It's a well trod stereotype, and it's really really bothersome every time.

Q: How many labor preferences can a dwarf have?

I'm still a bit new to Dwarf Fortress and I've found that sometimes, when I add a labor preference to a dwarf, some other labor preference is automatically removed. Does this happen because of a limit to the number of labor preferences that a single dwarf can have, or for some other reason?

@WorldEngineer I like his post on why he doesn't self-publish

user20683

@AshleyNunn as a professional bookseller, I have a low opinion of self-publishing

user20683

or rather vanity publishing

which is effectively the same deal

user15026

@WorldEngineer Yeah, it really is

user20683

Fluoroantimonic acid

| Section2 = | Section3 = | Section4 = }} Fluoroantimonic acid (HSbF6) is a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and antimony pentafluoride in various ratios. The 1:1 combination forms the strongest known superacid, which has been demonstrated to protonate even hydrocarbons to afford carbocations and H2. The reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and SbF5 is exothermic. HF, being a Lewis base, attacks the molecules of SbF5 to give an adduct. In the fluoroantimonic acid molecule, the anion is coordinated to the hydrogen, although the anion is formally classified as noncoordinating, because it is...

@AshleyNunn he also plays nicely with the stereotype that Australians are entirely out of their minds.
