If it only takes two hours, the concurrent player counts are not going to be that high
- Comment on Shrinkflation hits again! 1 week ago:
Possible because they are less dense, so harder to fit in the same sized packet?
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 1 week ago:
Huh, more known than I expected, I think I have plugged it a few times here before though.
- Comment on How come all the crap like satellites that we put into space...it never hits a rocket or the ISS? 1 week ago:
Space is big, unbelievably big.
Low earth orbit is roughly 600 km to 800 km in altitude.
GPS satellites are at about 20,000 km in altitude.
Geostationary orbit is 35,000 km up.
The international space station is at roughly 420km altitude, travels at 27,600 km/h, yet takes 93 minutes to orbit the earth once.
Space is just big.
I’m addition, we track objects in orbit, this site says we track over 45,000 items larger than 10cm in size, with there being over a million larger than a centimetre. Satilites often have to move to avoid known debris and have outer shells that can absorb smaller impacts (the ISS has armour!)
The biggest causes of debris has been countries testing out anti satilite missiles.

Probably a bit late to the party, Reus 2: store.steampowered.com/app/1875060/Reus_2/
Lovely puzzle/god game with eco/environmental themes. Really fun to chase all the achievements as they encourage you to try different things.
Great on the steam deck too!

- Comment on UK’s seaside towns fear impact of ending coastguard callout payments 2 weeks ago:
It does sound like a side job to be fair…
Maybe they should just be paid properly for their time?
- Comment on UK weather: Amber extreme heat warning issued as 35C heatwave approaches 3 weeks ago:
Shut your windows and curtains and it helps keep the heat out. For a 6 day heatwave the heat is going to soak in anyway though.
- Comment on Exclusive: OpenAI Losses Increased Nearly 8X in 2025, With Spending Hitting $34 Billion 3 weeks ago:
The thing is that R&D is their only chance, if they stop, open models will catch up. It will be the cloud owners making all the money at that point.
- Comment on Exclusive: OpenAI Losses Increased Nearly 8X in 2025, With Spending Hitting $34 Billion 3 weeks ago:
They break even without R&D though, I thought it was worse tbh
- Comment on How were maps created back in the day? 5 weeks ago:
Everything was/is mapped with trigonometry. You map the big triangles first, then once you have some nice big markers at known distances in the hills around you you can just measure angles to work out where you are. Repeat that lots and you can record the exact location of everything.

Workouts this week being 0 doesn’t mean that the data isn’t there, it’s just giving you a summary for the ‘calendar’ week.
You should be able to find the activity still. You should also be able to change when the start of the week is. (It’s an option you see everywhere)
- Comment on Energy regulator Ofgem announces 13% increase for energy bills 1 month ago:
It’s an auction of a commodity, you have to keep paying more until you find someone to provide the last bit. Everyone then gets paid close to that.
The big profits are going to those that invested in renewable energy to be fair though, not to the fossil fuel companies.

If your in the mountains, the tap water is better than most bottled water.

They were not ‘there’ though.
- Comment on Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it? 1 month ago:
Protein powders are meant to be for people that do enough exercise to need it. More sedate people saw all the fit/ripped people eating them and got it I to their heads it was the protein powder doing it, not the exercise… (And the manufacturers started leaning into it)
- Comment on The AI Backlash Could Get Very Ugly 1 month ago:
Didn’t Tesla have to give up on a robot that puts some felt on top of the battery pack because they just couldn’t do it?
Making the robots look human doesn’t solve that.

- Comment on Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops 2 months ago:
Much easier/cheaper to maintain on farmland. Just stop growing stuff for biofuel. (Or grow crops underneath!
- Comment on Why will a cop arrest you if your in a ridable mower going down the street drunk? How is that a DWI when while you may be drunk you will not hurt anyone? 2 months ago:
A lawnmower literally has spinning blades on it! Don’t operate while drunk!
- Comment on Travelodge gave stranger key to couple's room 2 months ago:
There was another story recently where someone got sexualy assaulted because they gave some random person their room key.
Continuation from that I assume.
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 3 months ago:
It’s good for some stuff - it means you get strong unique passwords for sites etc.
BUT
The fact it auto completes basically means that if someone gets access to your phone/computer while it’s logged in, they can log into anything. (A password is normally required to actually VIEW them? - maybe not on desktop!)
I use the built in manager for most days to day stuff, but anything financial or non browser based is stored in keepass. It’s a bit annoying, but way more secure that way.

- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 3 months ago:
Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!
- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 3 months ago:
It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: gov.uk/…/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-pa…

- Comment on Car park firm NCP collapses with nearly 700 jobs at risk 3 months ago:
They didn’t own the car parks, they leased them on long, expensive leases they couldn’t get out of, or sell.
