Even if we fully stopped emitting net CO2 today, the climate will continue warming in 25 years. All the methane and CO2 we’ve already emitted will continue to warm the climate.

I don’t think you can stop then from spawning, but a bunch of boats can effectively capture them until they despawn. I’ve seen a more complicated raid farm design that uses them to help them off of afk players in the kill box.

It’s funny how well linux works with printers, no stupid hp app, no configuration. Just hit print and done.

It could be, but making a game about alternate time lines with Paul atreides is not the setting I would choose for a dune MMO. It sounds like it would be a fantastic single player game setting.

Personally I like the idea of MMOs but have yet to find one I actually like.

This would be so much more interesting if it wasn’t an MMO.

I think at that point I’d mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it’s on.

That probably wouldn’t work but one can dream.

It’s still free, just under a different plan named lite https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/plan/lite/

Yeah it’s annoying and shitty, but it’s not so bad.

It’s mostly an issue in rural and suburban areas. The grocery store closest to me feels like it’s price gouging (Safeway) , and I try and go to other grocery stores for bigger trips like Wegmans or H-Mart.

Meat is especially bad, like $10/lb for ground chicken bad. Meanwhile at H-Mart it’s $3/lb.

Supermarkets should have cheaper prices, but now that they have formed a monopoly of just a few companies they are not.

Small shops keep supermarkets competitive, without them they become monopolistic.

“This is the first demonstration of high resolution up-conversion imaging from 1550-nm infrared to visible 550-nm light in a non-local metasurface," said author Rocio Camacho Morales. "We choose these wavelengths because 1,550 nm, an infrared light, is commonly used for telecommunications, and 550 nm is visible light to which human eyes are highly sensitive. Future research will include expanding the range of wavelengths the device is sensitive to, aiming to obtain broadband IR imaging, as well as exploring image processing, including edge detection.”

That does not sound like an Infrared camera.

Uh no? Cars have functions, and very real material costs that digital art does not.

How long until someone hacks a way to get some of those working anyway

To me it actually felt like a regression.

One of my favorite things in skyrim/oblivion/fallout 4 was environmental storytelling, and this just has none.

I just want to know when it’s going start being fun.

It’s not gas that’s making it dark, its dust, small particles made out of some combination of iron, silicates, carbonaceous materials, and other elements.

It’s really not that simple, if you own a single family home in an area that is increasing density, that lot does not necessarily decrease in value. And it’s still more nuanced in less dense areas, which is not the majority of housing.

It’s also not a zero sum game, there are millions of people who would like to move out of their parents but can’t afford to, population is increasing, and who know how many other factors.

Flatly saying that home values have to go down isn’t necessarily true, it depends on the exact mechanism used to increase affordability.

Fun little side thought, there was a study that came out a while ago in Maine that stated that the average resident spent around $10k personally on cars, and another $10k in government spending.

Designing an area without requiring cars by increasing density, means that for everyone who can ditch a car on average they’d save $800 a month, some of which could be spent on housing.

Increasing affordability doesn’t even necessitate lower prices per units if your population has more money to spend.

This is a lot more nuance than the average person is likely to accept, so it is easier for a politician to just dodge the question and avoid pissing off either side.

That could happen, but in a capitalist country with endless growth, it just means your local area needs to keep up with the trend.

The vast majority of Americans live in areas that in my opinion would be improved with density.

Successfully executing this in a city and showing evidence of benefits, or lack of might lead to changes nationwide.

As always there’s some nuance, and I’m certainly no expert.

It’s not necessarily true that making housing more affordable requires lowering the value of homes.

Consider an area with relatively low density—few houses per acre. By increasing the housing supply, such as by constructing multiplexes and small apartment buildings and enhancing amenities to go with the density, the cost per housing unit can decrease. This increased density will likely increase the land value. So, while the price per unit decreases, the value of the land on which homes are situated could actually increase!

It’s all about building the right kind of housing, and personally my favorite mechanisms to so so would be a land value tax as idealized in Georgism, though that definitely would lower home values.

You can fight a lot of that with bigger batteries. Surface area goes up by r^2, but volume goes up by r^3.

More expensive batteries will also warrant better insulation.

Combine those and sand batteries make decent sense.

That gpu looks like it only has 6 pins, not 8, so it could be fine.
