The more restrictive your democracy (countrywide PR system < FPTP marginal constituencies < Conservative party members) the wackier the effects on the people trying to win elections in that democracy.

I can see why certain groups might have an agenda behind removing evolution (even if those reasons are insane), but what possible benefit is there to removing the periodic table???

A famous example of a deaf/blind person is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller - this article contains some explanations about how she was able to learn to communicate with the world.

Toxin will kill you through shield and shield gating (I think Hildryn with overshields is the exception), so if you are relying on shield gating + invis to survive then you will just need to avoid toxin damage.

Even if you work in permissive langauges like Java, if you start from the position of "this code will need to be thread safe", its still not hard to do. The problem I've seen with more permsissive languages is that external libraries have bad systems built in and even if the code you write is threadsafe the external library csn introduce all sorts of weirdness.

For example in Java, the SimpleDateFormat class which is a fairly standard way of parsing/outputting dates and is the go to example in all number of tutorials is not inherently threadsafe (and that's part of the JDK!). Someone can write sensible stateless code and get tripped up by this.

From experience you can normally pop in and out without seeing anyone (EU so might be different on other servers). I think you still have to opt in even inside the areas as well.

The only quests I've seen for these areas have been to go to the safe zone towns on the edge, so if its one of those then you're definitely safe.

ZeroK has some of the nicest QoL features I've seen in an RTS game, I've always wanted to see if the other big Spring games are similar.

I believe they spawn semi-randomly once you are marked - it may take a few missions but I don't think it's limited to only that node.
