I completely agree. It was used in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. I can't think of many other works that use it.

Others have answered you question about non-directed nuclear blasts in space already. They don't work the same way as in atmosphere; lack the blast or the thermal heat, etc. Enter the Casaba-Howitzer, a theoretical nuclear shaped charge that shoots a directed plasma stream at near light speed. This idea came about in the 60s along with nuclear blast propulsion.

Warehouse fulfillment is skilled labor. Fast food work is skilled labor. I'm having a hard time thinking of an example of a truly unskilled labor job.

The first Alien movie. It came on tv once and my dad was all into it. That took years to get over.

I'm betting it correlates with the water consumption of dairy cows. I think they are using the whole production needs from nothing to final product.

Registration number doesn't check out. That's just some common Ambassador-class.

Why not both!? I can maximize my profits by producing the skimpiest, leakiest, shittiest micro condos (charged out at the most luxurious of prices) and also shaft my overworked, overextended, undersupported workforce (preferably foriegn, marginalized and/or vulnerable)! /s

Read his Final Architecture series recently and absolutely loved it. The characters were great, the world building was interesting and the portrayal of eldritch horrors was so well done.

Starts with the Shards of Earth, highly recommend.

This at least confirms I'm understanding how cmhc is included. I'll have to double check everything.

You are correct, the interest rate should be (1 + r / n)^n(t) - 1, where r = interest, n = number of periods, t = terms. This is handled by the PMT function in sheets and only requires the rate to be entered as r/n or 5.84/12. I did an earlier version of the chart without the cmhc interest included and it was producing spot on values that matched agaisnt other available mortgage calculators. My issue comes when adding in there cmhc amount. At this point the chart works as a quick reference, which is what I was looking for, but it would be good to get it right.
