  Most Canadians wouldn’t pass a Canadian immigration test.

  It’s terrible. They released an Alpha at full price. They changed how building rockets was done, for the worse. Performance was horrible even on my 3080 and aside from prettier graphics, there was nothing really new to explore. It it were cheaper, I’d be kinder. If it performed decently I wouldn’t mind but they released a POS of a game knowing full well KSP1 owners would buy it and it made us all look like suckers. They knew they released an incomplete game at full price and didn’t deliver. That sir is hot garbage.

  Nope. It’s hot garbage and I say that as someone with over 2000 hours in KSP.

  It must be exhausting being so cynical.

  I’m hoping you’re being hyperbolic about burning rainforests because not every blockchain is power hungry like Bitcoin or the old the POW Ethereum.

  Besides, the rainforest is being burned down to make way for more cattle to provide more beef. Not sure why you chose the rainforest as example of intense computational power.

  So you’re saying Polestar is lying about using blockchain?

  Polestar enters strategic partnership with blockchain provider Circulor
  Collaboration targets blockchain traceability and CO2e tracking
  Progressive in scope and ambition, partnership enables unprecedented supply chain transparency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Stop⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll likely get downvoted but Polestar, the EV automaker that used to build performance variants for Volvo, uses blockchain to track minerals used in their EV’s.

  Circulor Circulor’s blockchain technology enables tracing of extracted raw materials, particularly those with significant impact to communities and the environment.

  I like that they use blockchain to ensure the minerals they use aren’t coming from negative sources but I’m sure someone will argue and say it’s stupid or that SQL can do the same.

  Eyelashes freezing together… yeah, been there. 😉

  Miserable is a huge understatement. It’s fatal when not properly clothed. As a kid I recall going to check our mail at the communal mailbox and it was -66C (-86F) with the windchill and every TV channel had a banner saying you WILL get frostbite with 30 SECONDS if skin is exposed. I know people who have lots fingers/toes in warmer temperatures than that so it’s straight up fatally cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is this so hard⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I touch the moist sprayers to wet my fingers enough and the opening of the bag is always the part that’s already detached.

  Those two types help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If there was an easy fix, they would have done it. Loud is subjective so you need to set a baseline and you need decibel numbers for that.

  Just banning modifying exhausts is short-sighted because think of all the companies out there making custom exhausts that aren’t super loud.

  You’re applying kid logic to an adult problem.

  And they breed. What’s that saying? The meek shall inherit the earth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  and the difference is personal opinion. We had anti-noise bylaw removed because of 2 factors, the limit was too high for most people (96DB) and because it’s really difficult and expensive to monitor. They need special noise detectors and they don’t have lots of them so they only used them in areas where most people complain and it resulted in zero change while increasing costs.

  My motorcycle is loud. Louder than any stock car but it’s far from 96DB yet it’s also quieter than a lawn mower, or a weed whacker, or a plane so what do you about those noises?

  Then complain to the property owner instead of complaining about drivers on the internet. The drivers are doing nothing wrong here.
