Nah, that’s silly. Asia obviously has the longest coastline.
Sure, based on that paradox, the specific measurement of a given coastline will differ. But if you pick a standard (i.e., 1km straight lines), Asia is easily the longest. Doesn’t matter what standard you pick.
The only way the paradox matter here is of you pick different standards for different coastlines. Which, os obviously wrong.
Yes. No photos would be better than the ai-slop. Like, they aren’t even relevant to the article, they’re just ‘’ pop-sciencey’. If you’re gonna use ai images, you could at least make them relevant to the topic?
Engagement, voting on these makes the algorithm push their channel harder
Built in 2006 though, well after morrowind
Liver disease can do this too. Alcoholics will often get this kind of belly. Any other disorder that fills abdomen with fluid can do it too, though I think that’d generally be an emergency situation.
Yeah, glad they address the scaling thing. My initial thought with jumping is that, you can’t have your cake and eat it too, in regards to physics.
Either you scale down in a way that works with physics, and die instantly. Or you scale down ‘magically’, and imo you don’t get to reap the benefits of stuff like ‘extra’ strength and other square-cube-law changes. (though, I guess if you are just saying ‘it’s magic’, you can come up with any number of justifications for keeping that stuff)
Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.
I made it to one ending, and really didn’t feel any desire to do another go around.
I know what you mean about ‘perfect’ though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they’re ‘perfect’ in what they’re trying to do.
It’s not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it’s still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don’t make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.
?
Is this a reference to elephants" supposed fear of mice, or just a ‘big ear’ joke?
Or a woman.
Ancient Greece, generally speaking, hated women
I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.
Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I’d support then.
Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.
538 no longer has Nate Silver or his model; Disney bought it and fired him like a year ago or so.
Still, I agree; I don’t like his politics, but his analysis of polls and numbers is probably the best out there.
Decaf does actually still have caffeine, just normally like 97% less.
Which, I guess is like the boneless wings having 97% less bones, now in convinient needle shaped shards
I think controller is only ‘necessary’ for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I’d prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.
Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board
I don’t care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it’s very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there’s some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn’t feel with Valheim or Grounded.
I mean, I too would be unhappy with the new games’ stories. They’re not very good stories overall.
But, they’re better than the vast majority of video game plots, because that’s a low bar.
Still, Jaffe seems to imply the old stories in GoW were any better, when they were pure drivel. I might still be very underwhelmed by the story in the two new God of War’s, but I at least like that they’re trying (even if I think the direction of relying heavily on animation and visual flair is the wrong one, as far as telling good stories goes).
I agree. I’m very much for more research into fusion. I’m still somewhat skeptical of it ever being ‘infinite cheap energy’. But even if it never becomes a ‘good energy source’, the advancement of knowledge is valuable. So its not like I think fusion is a scam overall.
But I think this particular company is.
That is what I think the owner is doing here. Scamming venture capital firms for a tech that cannot work.
And I mean, its not like I have any proof. I can’t read minds; maybe he is a true believer.
But this company feels like those companies back in the 80s that sold tickets to mars, for the rockets they were ‘just about to build’; a scam.
This isn’t a research firm. This isn’t trying to find the exact settings and layouts to make fusion possible. If the article can be taken at face value, this is a company to make a commercial fusion plant. And I find that, in 2023, patently absurd.
I hope it works.
But I’m skeptical enough to say that I think this is a scam. We’re closing in, research wise, on getting fusion to generate more power than it takes to run. Which is awesome!
But its still a far trek from that figure, to producing enough power to be practical (I’ve heard it said you really need to aim for 10x more production than input, minimum, for it to make any sense).
And that is still a trek from making a fusion plant competitive with existing grid power.
I’m skeptical if this plant they’re building will even generate power, which is like three steps away from making commercial sense at all.
Generally speaking, no.
I like getting out of the house, and I find I’m more efficient, better at focusing, in the office/field. Maybe That’d be different if I had a separate dedicated ‘work office’ at home, but I don’t have space for such a thing.
But, I do like having the option to WFH. Bad weather, car trouble, feeling a bit sick (but not enough to call off).
