I do think they have a point: there’s not many other engines I can think of that are quite as ‘tangible’ as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,… in a way that’s unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

I dab too, there are dozens of us!

The only upside is that we might get another epically long Milo Rossi debunking

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

He’d probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Oh, that’s not even showing as a missing character, to me it just looks like 0.9

At least we agree 0.99… = 1

2,5 tons seems extremely doable for even pretty simple ships.

And DNS issues

I mean, he had been abusive for years, it was sadly not a unique nor surprising case, except for his fame, but fame doesn’t make you a good person.

They work on light scratches, but anything too deep will damage the data layer. However, you can do a lot with cloth and toothpaste

This is Belgium, it’s a great example of what we call “koterijen”

Disneyland is a good comparison for some Americans: imagine having to drive to each ride and restaurant

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

A nuclear power plant doesn’t pollute either of those more than any other large building, and sure uranium mining is still mining, but renewables and battery storage also depend on raw mined materials.

As long as they don’t start building tunnels under their house because they’re an ‘engineer’…
