From that article:
Graphic screen-printing is widely used today to create mass- or large-batch produced graphics, such as posters or display stands. Full colour prints can be created by printing in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).
It’s still subtractive.

Would you be so kind to point me to the position in the article that explains how they use rgb?

Hey dude, is everything okay? It’s just the Internet and just a discussion about printing and colours.
- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 3 weeks ago:
You don’t use rgb in print.

I fantasize about massive pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel No. 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I’ll settle for anywhere.

Played the demo a bit. I really enjoyed the mechanics illustrated here. Felt like a modern roguelike with a license I’d enjoy.
The one thing that stood out negatively for me was the art direction. Especially the character design. It’s one thing to not have the original faces, which is fair. I guess it’s some rights oddities with actors and actresses owning their own likelihood or something. But the movement is stiff and they just feel kind of… I don’t know, “dead” would be a hard word, but it kind of fits. I would have preferred a more comic-like appearance or something. Maybe a bit like the tf2 characters? That wouldn’t require the high budget that’s needed to make a human look decent which then never works anyway and always ends up deep in the uncanny valley. I also would have preferred a more abstract look of the systems, like an astrometrics map or something, with views that show actual models more true to scale (e.g. like the look of homeworld).
I’m too busy to play video games right now anyway, so I guess I’d wait for a sale either way, but it still feels like the game could have worked better for me, personally, if a few decisions in the design process had been made differently.

- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 2 months ago:
Hiking? I mean, the world is just out there.
Other outside activities that need minimal equipment come to mind. You ever played discgolf? Or went running? Or geocaching?
But yeah, lots of activities aren’t expensive. Draw something. Paint something. Sing! Or do some sports! Yoga only requires a mat if you do it naked.

Well, none of what you say is wrong. It’s just not the point. There were other options besides tesla - and while they were different (e.g. I’m well aware of the small golf battery), they were there.
You say that for you it was the only decent option. Fine. But not the point. Maybe your usage profile warranted what tesla offered. But “Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then” is just wrong. That’s all I said.

That’s literally their point?
Regular cars are capable of lasting until they literally break down and die.
These don’t exist anymore. If they do, it doesn’t matter if they move by burning fossils or electricity. It’s not a matter of EVs being movable smart devices that will be left behind eventually, it’s a matter of cars being like that.
- Comment on My Car Is Becoming a Brick: EVs are poised to age like smartphones. 3 months ago:
I’m pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.
Absolutely not.
I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.

So an orgasm will reduce the dopamine level to only 80% of where it’s supposed to be? Like you come and immediately just feel a little weird and disappointed?
Like, I get it. It’s just nice to see it in writing.

Also, just to follow up on this, it’s for the largest part not scientists that got us into this mess, whatever in particular that may be. The world would be much better off if people had more trust in science. That’s too much to demand though it seems, especially from boomers. So here we are, with populists messing stuff up and people like you blaming scientists for the results.
- Comment on Fictional 4 months ago:
i don’t like trusting scientists in fact. trusting scientists is how we got into this mess. people let themselves be manipulated by scientific results. people need to think for themselves. yes, that includes not believing certain scientific results, but IMO it’s better to deny a scientific result that I dislike and do not understand than trusting scientists that spent their entire lives researching that particular aspect of the universe
by the way i’m not a science denialist
Can’t make that shit up.
- Comment on Fictional 4 months ago:
Aaaahhhhh, you’re one of those… Good to know. Yeah, your reply makes sense then. Also thanks for telling me early in the discussion that you’re just a science denialist, then we don’t need to waste precious time with a discussion about things that you’ll just disregard at will anyway.
- Comment on Fictional 4 months ago:
welllll i say that’s a reaaaly sketchy and irrational way to look at things.
Okay? You be you, I guess. I mean, stupid physicist eggheads, what do they know?
- Comment on Fictional 4 months ago:
Since the 1950s, it has been conjectured that quantum fluctuations of the spacetime metric might make the familiar notion of distance inapplicable below the Planck length.[23][37][22] This is sometimes expressed by saying that “spacetime becomes a foam at the Planck scale”.[38] It is possible that the Planck length is the shortest physically measurable distance, since any attempt to investigate the possible existence of shorter distances, by performing higher-energy collisions, would result in black hole production.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units#Planck_length
Same is true for the Planck time, although the English Wikipedia is oddly blank for that one: there can be no space or time smaller than that within the physics that we have come up with.
- Comment on Fictional 4 months ago:
I think it’s (1 Planck length / 1 Planck time). If you take the smallest distance that exists and divide it by the shortest amount of time that can pass, you have exactly c.
