- Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there. 4 days ago:
Well it tends to rise and set in the same direction as the sun because the earth spinning is what causes them to rise and set.

I .Ean that’s how it was for Canadians, it’s not like we had an actual work around there either. People just don’t bother to declare stuff when crossing.

Yes, but you would blow out most of the amplification circuitry in a radio telescope reciver if you tried to use it for broadcast at any kind of power.

Catching starship booster was pretty fucking cool.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Monster Hunter 2 months ago:
One thing I kind of like about monster hunter is you don’t need to commit to the long term, a hunt will last at most 50 minutes usually closer to 25 or less. You can boot the game up do a hunt and shutdown, and still feel like you did something in it.

For the ez mode loot it’s to allow players to get to the expansion content quickly if they want to, otherwise yeah just don’t touch the initial high powered loot you got gifted.

Nah they mean observing from the surface of say the moon and seeing earth block the sun.
I think this is a fairly common occurrence, but you wouldn’t get the same effect since the shadow would cover the entire surface and lack of atmosphere you wouldn’t get the sunset in all directions look.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 2 months ago:
The biggest thing would be that a game under playtest is likely to undergo drastic balance changes and potentially even changes to core gameplay, a review of a game in that early of a state would likely not reflect the finished product, and is unlikely to be updated or taken down when the game is released, this possibly poisoning public opinion with content that doesn’t reflect the actual game.

Sure they don’t have any trust from the industry anymore.
It doesn’t have to be a legal document for there to be consequences.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 2 months ago:
The so what is that this writer for the verge will likely never be trusted with NDA type pre-release access for any other games going forward, and this may even impact all of the Verge.
This isn’t just a one and done kind of issue, this will be seen by the entire industry as a “can’t trust that guy with pre-release access”
- Comment on Cult of the Lamb | Unholy Alliance Launch Trailer 2 months ago:
Calling hades trash compared to anything is pretty extreme.
From what I’ve played hades has a better combat system, cult has a more direct narrative and more non combat stuff to do.
They are both great games, but do have fairly different focuses

Of course it did, everyone here came from Reddit.

- Comment on I.R.S. Crackdown on Delinquent Millionaires Yields $1 Billion 4 months ago:
And you are also assuming billionaires only have single digit billions.
- Comment on I.R.S. Crackdown on Delinquent Millionaires Yields $1 Billion 4 months ago:
Except each billionaire is worth ~1000x that of a millionaire so their tax delinquency is probably in a similar magnitude higher, go after the billionaires fewer people to work on, and more “reward” for each one.
- Comment on everything actually important is already metric 5 months ago:
But just to fuck with everyone we still refer to it a “mileage” in speech. Cause being a Canadian is suffering.
- Comment on True quality 6 months ago:
Because plastic is shit for the environment, and wood literally grows on trees?
Like why do you want to replace lumber with plastic?
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
Power from nuclear plants in Ontario is some of the cheapest to produce in the province, because the plants have been running for literal decades.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
www.opg.com/power-generation/our-power/
Fuck you
OPG manages power production for all of Ontario, with 2 nuke plants putting out over 3 GW each, for a total of ~6.5GW, OPG generates about 18-19GW so 30% is covered by two plants
The majority of the remainder is hydro across 66 fucking plants. And nothing else comes even close in output
And these are CANDU reactors, they don’t require refined uranium, and don’t contribute to proliferation like other plants, they also don’t meltdown explosively since boiling the coolant reduces the nuclear reaction rate.
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
That’s why we have governments though, for the long time low return infrastructure, like power grids.
Somehow we are willing to spend billions yearly on new roads but can’t be assed to build a new nuke plant once a decade to grow power production.

Ah yes the military famous for their bright minds, or was it crayon eating? I can never remember since all I did was take computer science, physics, and math courses in university.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
“my guy” is used as a general reference regardless of the gender of the target, especially if on the internet, when discussing someone who can’t use a fucking garbage bag, but if you wish we can refer to you as “shit for brains” because you certainly don’t have anything useful up there.
- Comment on "Let me in right now or I swear..." 6 months ago:
They don’t want in, they setup camp outside the doors and pick fights with people who walk by. So staff are probably “closing” the entrances so people don’t accidentally walk out into a warzone.
Canada geese are evil mean bastards

But celery is blocky and has gaps and doesn’t pack well, the amount you get changes drastically depending on how fine you chop it and on random packing.

The man is an asshole and stain on society, his death would likely marginally improve the world’s future outlook.

Because it’s a funny fucking meme my dude.

I mean the main steam cycle solar plants are built in dry sunny hot regions, not exactly a great source of water, but probably not completely void of it either.
- Comment on Hooooooooooooooooooot 7 months ago:
Same for all the others like coal and nuclear though. So that’s a dumb distinction to try to make.
Steam is always just a transfer mechanism if it’s part of the power generation
