Imagine this (not so) hypothetical scenario:

Yellowstone or another supervolcano erupts and leads to a few years of volcanic winter, where there is much less sunshine. This has historical precedent, it has happened before, and while in and of itself it will impact a lot of people regardless of anything else, wouldn’t you agree it would be better to have at least some nuclear power capacity instead of relying solely on renewables?

Sure, such a scenario is not probable, but it pays to stay safe in the case of one such event. I would say having most of our power from renewables would be best, having it supported by 10-20% or so nuclear with the possibility of increase in times of need would make our electric grids super resilient to stuff

The thing about sycophants is that they don’t tend to be very competent. I expect replacing people in crucial positions will be the start of the end for the US as a superpower.

Not an American, but yikes does this have “Vote with us… Or else!” vibes.

That’s not to say I support Trump, but I personally don’t think this is the way to convince fence-sitters at all.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Don’t make it triple A, make it indie or at least from a smaller studio. It will be more of the same slop with nothing innovative if it’s AAA :(

Same

What happens if you refuse to work? Are they allowed to punish you in any way?

What does procedural crafting really mean? Could I, for example, make a radio?

He’d still have a lot of property to his name, a lot of other assets and stuff that aren’t tied to an arbitrary stock market. Even if you crash it, mansions and luxury cars would still be very valuable. He will never not be a billionaire due to that.

That is, unless you redistribute his wealth. Then yeah, he wouldn’t be filthy rich anymore.

Afaik it used to be the Saharan Jungle when the world was a few degrees warmer

In Eastern Europe even the most illiterate citizen of a town/city knows the neighborhoods and where they are in relation to one another, if that’s what you’re asking.

Video Games, friends and my dream of buying a sailboat someday to sail around the world.

Would you say the same thing about being envious and being jealous?

Not sure, but in my language tovarăș means buddy and camarad (comrade) would be more like a brother in arms sort if thing.

What’s funny about that word is that it essentially means buddy in my language

Add migraine aura to that list. It sucks.

As the shortest person in most Basketball games during my childhood, I would have loved this so much! I enjoyed the game very much, but I always had to work twice as hard as my taller friends.

Depends on the part of the world you live in. I’m that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I’m not even in a long-time relationship yet.

I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn’t married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

You wouldn’t believe this is happening in the EU, right?

These exist and are widely used in rural Romania. Even public institutions like schools and town halls use these there. They’re not the worst you can get though. About 10-15 years ago you’d also stumble across houses that had no toilet paper, just newspapers. You were supposed to wipe with those. Not a fun experience!
