I didn't mean for you to get upset. I just think that the writer for example of a script has a lot of power to mold things how they want and I feel the only limitation should be that it is entertaining and tells a great story. Of course within whatever system you choose for your univers that should be consistent but we both agree that other than that you can freely pick and choose what the rules of that system are. Again no offense meant 😇 😅
what happens when there is neither ice nor snow but raw concrete or on other grounds of regular conditions, does this cause problem on regular thawen ground? 🥶
The full story about Report: Sudan's Warring Generals Agree to Cease-Fire, Dialogue. Know the facts. Reveal the bias. Verity.

> * US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Mike Hammer stated at the Doha Forum on Monday that Sudan's Army Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have agreed to a cease-fire and a one-to-one meeting to end their months-long conflict. The National > * This follows a statement from East Africa's regional bloc, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), that the warring generals committed to sign a cessation of hostilities and hold political dialogue within 15 days to pave the way for further confidence-building measures. RFI > * It's unclear, however, whether the proposed actions will effectively take place. The RSF said its acceptance was on condition that Burhan didn't attend the meeting in his capacity of head of state, while Sudan's army-aligned Foreign Ministry hasn't acknowledged the statement due to its failure to make the meeting conditional on a permanent cease-fire and withdrawal of RSF troops from Khartoum. Reuters (LR: 3 CP: 5) > * On Sunday, explosions were seen at the major al-Jaili oil refinery on the outskirts of Khartoum and casualties were reported when a Red Cross convoy came under fire in the capital city. Several peace efforts, including US and Saudi-brokered indirect talks, have failed as both sides have pressed on their military campaigns. Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1) > * Meanwhile, the state-run SUNA news agency reported that Sudan declared 15 diplomats working in the embassy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) persona non grata, ordering them to leave the war-torn country within 48 hours. No reason was given for this move. Bloomberg > * Though the UAE has hosted both Burhan and Dagalo for talks, media reports have alleged that the country has backed the RSF in the conflict that has reportedly killed up to 9K people as of October to protect its own business interests in Sudan, including in agriculture and a Red Sea port. Associated Press (LR: 3 CP: 5) > > Pro-establishment narrative: > > * Despite US and Saudi-led efforts to halt violence, the warring sides have failed to agree on a truce so far. Therefore, this much-expected one-to-one meeting is likely to be a crucial step toward peace before foreign military influence from the Russian Wagner Group and the UAE further deepens the rivalry at the core of a crisis that has displaced millions amid fears of a regional spread of the conflict. > Global Conflict Tracker > > Establishment-critical narrative: > > * Sudan's problems stem not from local warring factions who pop up out of nowhere — or even from Russia and the UAE — but rather from Western meddling dating back a century or more. The West, which is so "kindly" offering assistance today, has toyed with Sudan for decades solely to steal its resources and combat China's rise in the region, even supporting South Sudanese secession since the 1980s. > Grayzone (LR: 1 CP: 1) > > Nerd narrative: > > * There's an 81.5% chance that at least 10K people will die in the Sudan conflict in 2023, according to the Metaculus prediction community. > Metaculus (LR: 3 CP: 3)

"Ingredients
About 1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, plus a drop more to grease the dough
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2-2 Tbs sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 envelope of yeast
3 1/2 cups (500g) bread flour
1 egg white, to glaze
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar well. Then mix in the egg and the oil and add the water gradually, working it in with your hand — enough to make a soft dough that holds together in a ball. Add more water if necessary, or more flour if it is too sticky.
Turn the dough out and knead on a floured board for 10‑15 minutes, until it is very smooth and elastic. Grease the dough all over by putting a drop of oil in the bowl and rolling the dough around in it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
Punch the dough down and knead again briefly. An easy way of shaping the bagels into rings is to roll out the dough to a rectangle about 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) thick and cut it into 11 equal strips with a pointed knife. Roll each strip between your palms into a rope about 7 inches (18 cm) long and 1/2 inch (1 1/2 cm) thick and bring the ends together, pinching them to seal and form a bracelet. Place the rings on an oiled surface, and let them rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
Bring plenty of water to a boil in a wide pan, then lower the heat to medium. Slip in 4 bagels at a time. Boil them for 1‑2 minutes, turning them over once as they rise to the top. Then lift them out quickly with a slotted spoon and place them on a cloth to dry. Do the same with the rest of the bagels. Arrange on oiled baking sheets, brush with egg white, and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 15‑20 minutes, until nicely browned."
We cool now?
Their capabilities not only exclude comedy, they also exclude drawing and the fine arts 😂 🤣 😅 😆
Absolutely, but look at lord of the rings. the orcs while industrialized and definitively in the iron age are not as advanced as the dwarfs or the elves. Then you have the hobbits who still live in dirt holes.
there are a lot of inconsistencies, why are people only focused on the ones that allow people with wheelchair to identify with the main character or whatever?
That's a shame, cause that strikes me as exactly the person who would get the most use out of it.
First of all not all parts of a fictional universe have to have the same level of technological advancements. Within that baseline you can do whatever you want it's fiction. Also the reader or audience doesn't know everything there is about the world and might have gaps of knowledge.
If they have steel swords all bets are off
You hate it but it's still true, it's a genre set entirely in fictional worlds.
What if the spell simply accelerates the healing process. Basically like a forward targeted reverse time reversal?
This wheel chair looks out of place for the setting
dude....
It's literally a made up world.

The case of Eritrea shows that totalitarian systems are inherently toxic, and that no amount of “engagement” will change them.
