Some kind of dinner party punch/cocktail, I would imagine.

I really hope to see more developments in the realm of gravity batteries. In many cases they are not geographically constrained, given that it only requires vertical space and mass. Ideally, the land already has high variation in elevations, but the storage capacity can still be increased in areas with little vertical space by increasing the mass of the weight being lifted/lowered.

I’m sure you know this, but for curious readers: pumped hydro is also a gravity battery, but it requires two bodies of water at differing elevation. This means it’s limited to coastal areas and places like dams. It’s also limited by the smaller capacity reservoir between the two bodies of water; the amount of water moved cannot exceed the maximum capacity of the upper body, nor can it exceed the extra capacity of the resevoir of the upper body.

Yeah it’s Moo Wan, Moo Deng’s sister.

Also, Moo Deng means bouncy pork (a type of meatball) and Moo Wan means sweet pork… adorable names

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I’m in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

I very much agree with your third sentence. If your cheap tool wears out, it’s because you need that tool often or for rigorous scenarios. Good to get a nicer tool for that job.

A small and simple semi-idle frog collecting game where you simply collect rare frogs and let them generate buckaroos so you can collect rarer frogs. There’s a free demo that got me hooked to occasionally logging on and collecting more frogs.

I mean, she did post a video where’s laughing at a comedian doing a routine that was making jokes about the conflict… and she was also part of the crowd that warned against the rise of antisemitism due to the conflict…

But also it’s just random racism to point that out apparently.

Well, silly me, I should have specified that I did my calculation with signed long, though it shouldn’t affect the outcome much given my rounding at the hundreds.

I like the idea of beer debt to the wall, though!

Unfortunately the bar was built on long int so it overflowed 23 times and landed on about 1.2 billion.

One billion, two-hundred fifteen million, seven-hundred fifty-two thousand, two-hundred-something bottles of beer on the wall, one billion, two-hundred fifteen million, seven-hundred fifty-two thousand, two-hundred-something bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around…

One less bottle of beer on the wall :)

Anyone here with good knowledge on how to do remote/distanced firework ignitions?

I’m aware of the ematch + nailboard setup… The same should be doable with a switchboard, long wires, ematches, and a 12V battery, right?

Exactly. I know plenty of people who have driven a car for over 3 decades, and do not know what a timing belt or a spark plug does. I don’t look down on those people, but it certainly makes sense as to why they don’t know. They don’t really need to!

This is a bold statement considering how many daily Windows users don’t understand how to use Windows.

Thanks for providing a lot of insight to the conversation.

I would argue No Man’s Sky started the trend of “release now fix later” but I suppose they are not a big AAA studio. I suppose CDPR wasn’t really considered as AAA until the release of Witcher 3.

EA is practically begging people to pirate their single-player experiences.

I learned algebra around the same stage of my education. But to be fair, my parents were spending money to keep me learning accelerated math.

The co-op sucks, but I’m pretty certain invasions don’t occur unless you summon somebody.

If you’re adamant about playing co-op without invasions, you have to mod the game, unfortunately.

Make it four :)

I feel you on the gift part. I’m quite picky about shitty products. That being said, I don’t complain when I receive a gift I don’t necessarily like, I just grumble when I use said gift in private.

The people who spend too much researching before purchasing all know the feeling of endlessly finding products that intrigue them, only to find a handful of glaring flaws.

I am frequently disappointed.
