Apple wouldn’t replace my wife’s phone battery because they “detected water damage”. I did it myself through their DIY system, which is more than a bit ridiculous because they only set it up after they got sued and they are salty about it.
Honestly it was fun receiving a huge crate that looked like something from a spy movie with an expensive rig to push down on the phone screen just right to adhere the glue on the new screen. I had fun, and it wasn’t that expensive, but it was absolutely ridiculous.

- Comment on Is it safe to connect a Windows XP machine to my wi-fi network? 1 month ago:
The risk is your computer reaching out to something on the internet (either by you browsing, or some automatic background activity) and whatever it finds infects it.
This could be something like an ad on an otherwise trustworthy website.

Honestly it feels a bit like browsing a shelf of books or DvD boxes or something. It certainly could have some improvements but I don’t think this is that bad.

I kinda mentally adjust it. If I see 7/10 I assume it’s very average. 8/10 is good, 9/10 and above is great.
6/10 is bad and anything worse is awful.

I love to see OneShot getting a shoutout!
Also funny to see how the periodic Minecraft phase is a universal experience. My friends and I usually end up playing Minecraft for about a month once or twice a year.

Did you forget to unfurl your sails? I did that my first time… It’s definitely slow traveling between islands but “go make a sandwich” slow sounds like something is wrong.
Once you beat the first boss you can start putting engines on your ship, which make it faster and not dependent on wind direction. Also making your ship lighter helps too.

Lost Skies
It’s a co-op exploration, base-building, and survival game set among floating islands in the clouds. Unlike most base building games, you take your base with you, in the form on your airship, which you have a lot of freedom to design how you like.
The main gameplay loop involves exploring new islands, solving puzzles and fighting enemies to gather loot, and using that loot to upgrade your ship. When you feel strong enough, you challenge the region’s boss, which drops loot that will help you progress to a region of a higher difficulty tier. There are 4 tiers of region difficulty and many regions of each difficulty.
The game has had some drama regarding leaving early access well before it was ready, but the devs are continuing to put significant work into the game, and it’s in a good state now, but with a fairly small community.

There were a couple details that mattered.
Whether you were aggressive vs friendly vs neutral at each stage had some consequences for all later stages. Creatures you befriend in the Creature stage could become pets in the Tribal stage, which could include the powerful lone wolf ones.

The pressure isnt violently different (it’s only 1atm. Scuba divers can go up to 70atm with special breathing equipment). The issue is the boiling point of water is very low at that pressure, but on a cellular level the physics of that are going to be different.
Also space being “cold” is a bit of a misconception. Your body produces heat constantly, and it’s hard to dissipate heat in space, since you can basically only radiate it out as infrared light, which is a much slower process than being in physical contact with something.
In fact, we use vacuum chambers to insulate things such as in those metal thermoses that they tell you not to put in the dishwasher.
So being in space would actually be more like being wrapped in the thickest possible blanket than being cold.

If you ever have the chance to take a college physics class, they often teach some of the history of how this stuff was discovered along with the math. I always found that part fascinating!
Also there are some pretty good resources on YouTube and some books intended for more casual audiences. Michio Kaku was one of my favorite authors for pop-sci physics when I was a kid.
