Math and physics (or any subject that requires calculation) usually requires practice. Applying the knowledge in a short timeframe is different skillset then just having the knowledge.

One can dream, but I’m pessimistic and see enough demand for a long while. Can’t even fully stop using coal yet.

Long term yes, since it encourages a switch from fossil fuels. Short term, it’s probably good for them. If you sell oil and take % cut. The cost doubles, your profit doubles! It also opens up more drilling that wasn’t worth the expense before.

This has the benefit of not needing batteries since the molten salt stays hot long after the sun is down.

Yea, if someone is down on their luck or struggling with addiction. Pretty sure selling a gun is a step before losing a home.

Another potential fix, just get a better router or dedicated hot spot. Repeaters can sometimes be flaky.

I agree sounds and smells are more common in the city, but to me that isn’t an issue with introversion since that isn’t socializing? Seems more like sensory sensitivity, not introversion. Someone can have both of course.

I find this ironic as an introvert. I rarely interact with any of my neighbors since it was an apartment with constantly rotating rents. My apartment complex had more people than the rural town I grew up in. City living it’s easy to be one of the faceless masses. My rural family loves to talk to and gossip about neighbors. They constantly run into people they know at the few stores they have.

Edit: City life can have close knit communities. But it seems more opt-in than forced.

This is why I avoid f2p games. Much rather pay for a game than to be constantly hounded. There’s so many cheap indie games. Or cheap old AAA games.

Yea, 3 year suspended license. I’m sure when she can drive again at 83, she’ll be a better driver. Honestly the standards (or lack thereof) is insane. People should be regularly tested regardless of age to see if they’re competent to drive.

I mean the alternative is literally rotting in the ground or being burnt. Generally people who were cryogenically preserved knew the chances were slim but less slim than the alternatives.

Oh, you’re right. AI slop it is.

~~It doesn’t even look like AI to me, looks like a very simple edit. ~~ I stand corrected

Valve is closer to physical because they have a market place. In a way it’s more fair then any other game. (They still control the marketplace so it’s not as fair as physical). Also as a slight defense to digital, at least we’re not manufacturing and shipping more plastic waste for landfills just so people can get their gambling kick.

I mean, it’s not different. Pokemon and MtG also have departments to try to entice users with fomo. It’s what marketing is. It’s why they have limited runs, promotional crossovers, etc. Valve is just more open about the process.

Exactly, this is just a ploy to conjure up emotions.

Not saying you knew about it, but the predecessor, Elite 2 (1993), also had procedural galaxies. The Elite series goes back to the 80s.

Also is the act of canabalism in and of itself a crime? If I eat my own leg, who’s the victim?

Chicago? The city with the famously horrendous 75 year parking meter deal?
