Link didn't work. It appears to have an unwanted leading space in the URL. I've fixed it above.

Which Bond film is this again? I mean, in my defence I've only watched most of them during wakeathons, and so have only the haziest recollections

Diamonds Are Forever, IIRC.

RE: [IC] News from the Metacontinuity - Bob Schroeck - 08-30-2021
Fixed that in the original post. I tried to fix it last night but missed that small detail; thanks for catching it, Raven.

That's because my iphone annoyingly wants to add spaces when I paste, automatically. I'm wise to your plans now, Apple.

That's not great but it's not terrible either.
1.4 millisieverts a day isn't really that much.

So we have to be on guard against a ridiculously-small explosion blasting the Moon out of orbit?
RE: [IC] News from the Metacontinuity - Labster - 09-18-2021
I would be. I mean, can the conservation of momentum really be trusted, or is that yet another hoax like vaccines?

Government shutdown begins in earnest after Lupin nicks trillion-dollar coin

OOC: To be honest, I wish we did things the way the Japanese do. Their smallest bills are for 1,000 Yen, and they have 500 Yen and 100 Yen coins - both of which vending machines happily accept. (Many also accept 1,000 Yen bills, but you won't always get a 500 Yen coin back as change. Usually it'll be 100 Yen coins.)
RE: [IC] News from the Metacontinuity - robkelk - 10-09-2021
(looks from across the border, where any defeat of a spending bill triggers an immediate general election) Haven't you folks solved that pesky budget issue yet?
And there's a flaw in the proposal: Who's going to buy the $1trillion coin (or accept it as payment) in order for the government to get the seigniorage to spend on the budget? Even Mark Twain knew how difficult that would be, and he was working with an amount three orders of magnitude smaller than that, adjusted for inflation.
(At least we can sell $1million coins... and it looks like Lupin got one of those, too.)
RE: [IC] News from the Metacontinuity - Labster - 10-09-2021
Lupin steals lots of impossible-to-fence items, though not on the same scale as Carmen Sandiego. A lot of it he just collects, as he’s a man of taste. That $1M coin stolen in March 2017 was Lupin, but Fujiko got away with it in the end.
Also, Rob misunderstands our fine and elegant system of government. The budget bills have already passed, it’s just that Congress refuses to fund the debt incurred to pay for its budgets.

No, no, no - it's espers who have their own Personal Reality, not mages.

Yeah, I'm starting to suspect Rob is part of the Technocracy.
