Austria, you listening? Time to get the team back together, I think.

Photosynthesis only uses a couple frequencies. Using solar to generate electricity and feed that into target LEDs can be significantly more efficient.

Not only misgendering and not knowing anything, but for me the cherry was the fact that the only thing TFG could think to say about generic_woman was … that she was hot. What a stupid go-to. Not smart, savvy, interesting… no, she is obviously hot. That is the best compliment.

Unfuck that guy.

Probably thinking of Nikki Minaj or something.

I don’t think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.

They also tend to have linux support. Where the AAA companies want to eat the entire mammoth and scorn the scraps, small companies can thrive off of small prey and the offal. :)

True, though it might be a temporary advantage to create an acute crisis at a key time. Something to keep in the back pocket maybe. NCD stuff.

Genuinely, though, I wonder how centralized their vodka industry is. A few bombs could cause a fairly major crisis if as many people are alcoholic as rumoured.

I’m sure he’ll be happy with the Sudetenland!

Space Engineers scrapyard scenario. So… Satreus has oxygen, so as long as I can scavenge a power source to power my suit recyclers, there’s not a lot that’ll be a problem. Wander around collecting stuff. Make a comfy habitat.

Didn’t that originate in a Sabrina The Teenage Witch episode? Or did I just imagine that?

It’s true, and it’s problematic, but the plastic lining in an aluminium can is super thin, since it doesn’t need to be structural. As far as resource use goes, it’s still way better. It’s best to look for improvements, and not to let the search for perfection block you from a marginal gain.

If you’re going to re-use, use glass, where possible. If you’re not, aluminium is still the better choice.

We should have higher deposits on cans and bottles. Here, it’s been pegged at 5 cents since the 90s - it should be more like 25 cents now for cans, or a dollar for glass bottles.

49 Celsius to save anyone the conversion

Ahmad earl grey. We buy the loose tea, about ten 500g boxes per year. Also use it for kombucha.

And then you have Terry Pratchett who gave us Mister Teatime.

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

That could end up whiplashing as the administration passes between US factions, no?

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.
