That’s your choice, and I’ve met a couple people like that, but you could have just blocked them and moved on. I’ve also had a rando save my stupid ass twice in one raid because I kind of suck at extraction shooters.

In the end, I’ve had about as many meetings where I was ganked as where people just randomly helped me, and a whole lot more where we both said hi and went on our way.

Likewise. I’ve been ganked a number of times, I just block them and move on. Probably 10 player kills in the last 4 months or less? The aggression ranking in matchmaking really seems to help. I’ve yet to get the achievement for player kills, and I’ve seen an uptick when player kills are linked to feats, but overall most of the people I see are helpful and not trying to loot steal or kill you. I hope the PVP players keep being put in matches with each other and are enjoying themselves somewhere I’m not present.

Here’s a link to an article talking about it, including a small list of materials and if they will lose or gain electrons. I found that with a quick search, more or better ones can be found, I’m sure. I chose this one because it has the split between gain and loss, which others don’t.

Edit: working link

That was more common in the US than in other jurisdictions. In Canada, they capped out torrenting at $500 for all instances prior to the suit, which means the lawyers were losing money for the copyright holders. Also, it was determined that if you didn’t store the files, i.e., streaming, it wasn’t illegal at all. After that, I stopped hearing about non-commercial copyright infringement cases in Canada (and I can’t legally justify torrenting).

There are more homeless people in Winnipeg than there are in Finland. We can do so much better.

Not just math, but thinking in general.

This is only a 0.3% difference year-over-year, but still not a good thing. We definitely need that moving in the other direction.

Yeah, it really depends on the location. Both heating and cooling batteries are a problem where I live, and these batteries would need a lot more protection where I live.

You won’t get an answer because he’s wrong. This link shows some stats about heat stroke in America. People under 5 years old die at a rate of 190 per 100k, the it craters to 27 per 100k from 5 to 14 and keeps climbing from there, peaking for those between 55 and 64. Note that deaths between 35 and 44 are more than half that of the cohort most likely to die of heat stroke, not people you wouldn’t consider in their best condition.

Everything about that chart says that unmanaged heat is very dangerous and as we get older it gets harder to handle, at least once we are over the age of 5 and our heat regulation mechanisms have matured.

This is the same excuse anti-vaxxers use for why it’s okay that children and old people die from the flu. “The flu isnt dangerous, it only kills the ones who are too weak to survive.” Of course, kids who don’t die of the flu live just fine for decades, whether they avoid doing so by luck or vaccination, and while seniors won’t necessarily live for decades if they avoid the flu or heat stroke, they can still live for years. Here’s an abstract talking about morbidity for people over 80. 23.9% mortality for those without the flu vaccine vs 20.9% for those with, for total morbidities. There is a significant reduction in all morbidities if these really old people just don’t get the flu.

And it is an option. It’s just completely orthogonal to what is being discussed here.

The point of going low density is to reduce cooling requirements. Cramming them into a shipping container is the exact opposite of that.

And since IQ is a statistical measurement, about 65% of people are within 1 standard deviation of average, and hence are identical under casual observation. So, for all practical purposes, most of the people you meet are average, and the rest are split between above and below.

Which is why most comedians aren’t known for being mathematically inclined.

There is a discount in effect til Apr 23, but there is a free option below that until Apr 13. You may need to scroll a bit more, or it may have some region locking.

I took a chance, just dialog, no horrifying imagery, any of that. The whole thing is about 2 minutes long and could have been a couple paragraphs of text. If you’re staying away because of how ugly it could get, the worst is already shown here. There is an unusual ending, but not horrible. Feel free to watch.

Once upon a time, we differentiated our apps based on their capabilities and gave them a consistent interface so people who knew how to use Windows|Linux|MacOS apps would already be familiar with how they operated. Now we differentiate on looks/user experience, and many of them arent capable at all.

For blindingly obvious reasons.

Ah, shit, I wasted minutes of my life reading the comments before I realized this was from Alex fucking Jones.

Now I don’t feel so bad thinking this would work just as well with a little bullet in the cradle.

Having not scanned your history, are you German? That sounds like something a German would say.

The fact it’s satire doesn’t make it untrue, and we have plenty of statistics to back it up, but it seems the only thing Americans like more than complaining about their broken system is insisting that any change at all would make it worse.
