The most Linux response. Linux doesn’t fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s

Seems like that should actually be quite a useful task in the Netherlands considering all the polders!

No mention of other people. Antisocial behaviour

Not to mention that an idea is not a game, not even conceptually. There’s a reason it’s called game design and not game turn-idea-into-code.

Man unable to comprehend that words can have different meanings in different countries, and is unable to understand analogy, more at 11

Or they just have different connotations here. Would it be acceptable for a man to go up to a woman he’s never met before and say “I’m in love with you” while she’s just doing her job? If you say yes, I have to wonder who of us was really raised wrong.

All of these, maybe with the exception of duck and gaffer, if said in North America would be either not seen as gender neutral, or would be especially creepy if a man used it.

I said this at launch, you cannot do early access with an established IP. The agreement is a reduced price because you’re paying to get in on the ground floor before it actually gets good. But for an established IP you’ve already built your audience, so most people are going to buy on day 1 at the reduced price, so the “reduced price” has to basically be full price. Now you’re paying full price for an unfinished game because Take Two pushed them to release an unfinished game that had been delayed by years.

It was doomed from the start.

I don’t think you could sustain an electric ship with solar panels, but I wonder if you could appreciably extend the range of this ship by adding solar panels.

Hell, if panels get cheap enough you could slap panels on top of all the battery modules. If they happen to be covered by something else, so be it.

calling it a “linguistics misunderstanding” makes it seem more scientific than it probably is. I’d like to see some evidence to back it up, because to me it just looks like some Tumblr user’s conjecture.

Oh my god this entire thread sucks. Norway isn’t fucking socialist and we should not aspire to be it because capital still reigns. You can’t have a mixed economy, either capitalists have power or they don’t. And OP, capitalism really is working great for the millions who starve to death every year or die of preventable diseases. The West benefits from wealth extracted from poor nations where such happens, we wouldn’t enjoy such a quality of life if not for their bodies. That’s a fucked up system. Much of what you hear about former socialist countries is actual propaganda because guess what, capitalists rule the world. You are not immune to propaganda.

Fusion won’t be the silver bullet people tout it as for much of the same reasons as fission isn’t (mostly politics). No politician wants to spend billions of dollars on something that is going to take a decade to even be functional and another decade to break even. It would get cheaper with scale, but so would fission, we just never let it get there. It also still produces radioactive waste, despite what proponents claim, and it even produces more radioactive waste than a fission reactor by volume. But it isn’t as long-lived.

These are the same tired arguments we hear about fission. If your country isn’t actively building fission, it’s probably not going to build fusion, aside from demonstrations.

First time I’ve seen somebody acknowledge that it’s not just nation states with such capabilities. There are some huge organized crime syndicates.

The partial eclipse is nothing special. Any given location gets one every few years or so.

Totality is the really neat and special thing, and it isn’t damaging to your eyes. (assuming you don’t pre-empt or overshoot the timing)

I mean, that is true when 100% blocked (totality)

Bottles of carbonated beverages can handle up to 150 psi. Semi truck tires are pressurized to 110 psi. Freezing water in a pop bottle can cause it to explode, think about that!
