No! What? I'm shocked! Shocked! You hear me? Shocked!

It's not electrons "reaching" a point that does the work, it's the fact that they move. A generator or a battery just applies the force that makes them move (voltage).

You can in fact picture it like water, just in a circular, perfectly level channel. When you paddle at one point in the channel the water starts to move and can do work at another point. It doesn't really matter where exactly you are paddling.

So ... "the great replacement" for real, just opposite to what they usually claim?

It's wild how often "every accusation is a confession" holds true.

You could also just have it work and go with whatever follows from it though.

I believe you should have a plot prepared but you also shouldn't be afraid to adapt it if the players do something unexpected. It's more work, but in my experience players can usually smell when you're just trying to block them. And they will derive fun from having found out your plans early (which is totally ok to tell them).

That's communism. The two are not interchangeable.

It's an element of a planned economy which has been more commonly used in authoritarian socialist countries but isn't exclusive to them.

(Fun fact because I just looked it up: There doesn't seem to be one generally accepted definition of "socialism".)

Assuming the attacker knows it's a phrase: The english language alone apparently has some 800.000 words. 800.000^6 = 2*10^35 combinations in a dictionary attack. That's comparable to 18 random ASCII characters. We might also be using a different language, or a combination of languages, or we might deliberately misspell words.

A long string of random characters will give you more combinations per password length, but there are some passwords you just need to be able to memorize, and I'd say that's more likely with the 6 words.

That is correct. But it's not happening because of debt, and that's all I was saying.

True. Which is why they lost their rating I guess. I was just commenting on why national debt isn't a real indicator of anything.

The US Dollar is (edit: I should say "has been") the currency of global trade. Everybody wants it, meaning they can just print more and it won't lose value. It doesn't matter how much debt they have as long as that's the case.

Please tell me it's now called IED.

I think anything that uses any kind of item that doesn't come packed with the bread belongs on the "lawful" side.
