>>They will be designed to function with minimal need of maintenance or replacement for decades if not generations.<<

Forget moving parts, bearings, oil -- These things will last because Xeno said so. Because Xeno belives in magic.

>>The desert OGLU, on the oceanic OGLU (yes, some OGLUs would be boats)<<

I grant you the point that maintaining them won't be expensive, seeing as they'll be at the bottom of the ocean (unless your magical OGLUs float, in which case they will litter our shores). Have you ever been out to sea? Jesus you don't stop.

>>each OGLU could function well enough on it's own in its particular weather / climate region<<

...Because you said so? Again, magic is going to ensure that all environment OGLUs can produce enough water, heat, electricity?

>>The whole point is that they would NOT be dependent on the grid.  The 'backup' system would be storage, and each OGLU would have an ample storage capacity - the whole foundation of the OGLU / AGLU would basically be a rechargeable battery, capable of producing enough electricity essential basic living for months, without any additional input of energy.<<

Okay, I got it. So your magical systems will never require repair and magically work forever. These magical systems which never fail will charge up a magical battery which will magically hold more than a thousand times more power than any battery ever produced has held before. And these magical batteries, like the magical systems of the OGLU, will never fail or require repair. Got it.

>>why did you not offer $50 to the homeless guys at the grocery store?<<

...He suggested that the girl do exactly that in reaching her goal.

I made no reference to people who CLAIM to care about helping other people. You made a claim about people based on their actions, so I presumed you were making the argument that the people were what you claimed they were... if you were not, why make the claim knowing it to be false?

Justinian I: "And that's a selfish motivation." To be satisfied with oneself after doing good for others is selfish? There's nothing selfish with being glad you're a good person. Someone who helps others only to feel good is not altruistic; they probably seem like they're on coke and just weird to be around.

Hey sometimes I have trouble remembering what time of day it is, what day it is, what year it is, where I am, my name, etc. It's challenging!

People dedicated to helping their fellow man are liars?

Clearly you're too bright for them, because the logic of that argument is lost on even my almost-par intellect!

Contends that Nemeara has a penis.

sKoE:
>>In the first example (creating peace) it can be seen that peace is advantageous to
(pretty much) all parties involved: it promotes more stable and stronger economies,
it ensures freedoms.<<

Yes, creating peace with Chavez will ensure freedom to his people! Keep calling names kid, that's all you can do.

I remember how there was a weapon that could kill with headshots THROUGH WALLS, MANY WALLS in that game.

Ants do what they do better. Those who do not die. If ants received a greater portion of the group's food when they FAILED to perform their duties (because clearly, those are the ants that need it the most!), production would decrease and ants would die. Ants aren't dumb enough for this.

Clearly if 70% of the population believe it, you can spend more on credit to solve a problem with spending too much on credit.

I propose that everyone who renames something in an effort to...

What am I saying? Kill 'em all.
