I had wondered about that latter point given how loose the association is — it's not like he has creative control of a project that happens to be done by a mate and their friends for example!

I've seen the wider stable referred to as the Nate Bethea Extended Universe — @oldmatecans.lol surely someone's done a map of them all somewhere, feels like there must be well over a dozen by now?

The latest season of Masters of our Domain @mastersofpod.bsky.social (formerly a Seinfeld podcast, now watching shows set in the ancient world) has been covering this, if it's something you're into.

Talked to the roaster who owns our local here in Adelaide the other day. (AUD $18pw subscription for unlimited coffees, unreal deal!) He's still going on a stockpile of green beans from last year, as he bet on prices peaking in H1 2025. Harder if you've had to buy roasted beans from wholesalers...

A former AU sub guy has been talking about this in the media as a plan b for a while, but it screams IREX-style "the price has now gone up" negotiations with the French.

The wider questions of "why manned subs" at all are the more interesting ones tho tbh

AUKUS risks are piling up. Australia must prepare to build French SSNs instead | The Strategist
Australia should start planning for acquisition of at least 12 submarines of the French Suffren design. The current AUKUS plan for eight nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs) has always been flawed...

Always seemed wild to me there's no discernible give way signs at this weird wide painted-slip-lane one next to the school! Almost turns into first-come-first-served.

Very similar mechanics & the same team designing/developing. With the evolutions in rules between BbB reprints, seems like the next step! Looking forward to my copy arriving when they release!

With you & J being such big fans of Bloc by Bloc, have you seen Defenders of the Wild?

Stock reduction or caps (via the nutrient limits?) would be one way to avoid the rebound effects of efficiency boosts too
