    While the only “job” we know of for immortals is treasure finder, being a coach of some sorts, being a sports coach or even a life coach would be a good job for a pre change in laws immortal.  Even an acting or voice coach would be good.  Teaching positions in general would also be good fits.

    After the change?  I got to think about that.

    “Well, we can, but it's mostly a reacting to big TV shows thing.”

    So, what other human culture things to immortals like?  Does this even slightly help with boredom, so it could allow stronger, yet not quite so chaotic elder immortals?  Are immortals into “sports ball”?  

    And, yes, I know that comments are only semi canon at best, and it's only canon if it's in a comic.

    Invisible, concealed or disguised?  

    As I point out to my players, these are not the same.

    “See invisible” will not let you see someone hiding in cover, nor will “True Sight”; however, that will let you see through a disguise. The existence of these D&D spells/abilities in EGS is still up in the air.

    Funny you should post this on the 250th anniversary of The Battle of Bunker Hill.

    Yeah, the 18th century was a bit weird, where civilian firearms might have been more effective than military.  Of course, the civil “forces” didn't, as a rule, have cannons.

    Of course, the basic rule of government, and has been since there has been a government, is “people with effective weapons tell people with less effective weapons what to do”.  Life becomes -exciting- when the rulers mis calculate their weapons re the masse's weapons.

    I scratched my head, and now I'm bleeding again. Almost any place else on my body I could put a bandage on. Not for a wound under the hair. On the good news side of things, the storm front should pass in an hour or two, so my knees might stop whimpering at me.

    Some people would not only agree that the Nobility is self-serving, but also that it should be self-serving. These tend to be the same people who believe that non-nobility are inherently inferior beings.

    The “modern” equivalent of that is, of course, rich/poor.

    It also avoids none of the actual testing, you still have to verify the sort. 

    Imagine sorting a deck of cards this way. 

    If you don't care what order the suits are in, there are 24 "sorted" possiblites.  Of course there are 52! possiblites, That is a very large number.  8.0658175 x 10^67

    There is around 10^57 atoms in the sun the number of atoms in the rest of the solar system is a lot less than that so it is the number of atoms in the solar system.

    To get to the 52! ~8* 10^67 you need 80 billion suns. There is 100 to 400 billion stars in our galaxy. If we assume our sun has the average mass we can say you need a quart to all of the galaxy to get 52! number of atoms.

    That's . . . peculiar. Bubble sort is generally considered to be bad enough to be the bad example; this is much worse, it is kind of intuitive, but I've never heard of anyone actually attempting it. 

    There have been people trying it.  6 items took ~350 seconds.  7 items took overnight and still hadn't finished.  The report doesn't say how fast the computer was.
