What the f did I just watch

I never understood the fixation on IPs. For a kick ass universe with amazing lore etc, ok sure.

I mean I love Jeb and the gang as much as the next guy, but they’re not core to my enjoyment of KSP1. The mechanics were.

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

For science?

You’re still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn’t move at all. That’s point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here’s a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

It does work, but it’s harder to pull off because you need to give a short, relatable reason along with a negative (if not immediately obviously).

If you reply that you’re stressed but you leave it at that, the other person won’t know if they should ask you about it or not. If they do, they might be getting into a much harder, longer conversation than they were expecting to.
But if they don’t ask, then they will feel like they’re being rude, because you’re supposed to help out other people if they’re not well, so either way it probably won’t be a pleasant experience for them.

If you offer something like “stressed, finals are coming up”, then they can keep the conversation going by asking you about it, or they can just move on by wishing you luck or something to that effect and move on.

I think it’s more of a cultural thing, you grow up hearing that exchange and a neurotypical brain will just file it under “short, common greetings”.

People don’t even think about the meaning of the words, they just grab something from the “common greeting replies” drawer without even looking.

It’s the amount of possible variations after that that make it a huge mess.

I’m seeing 9070XT at €850, while a 5070Ti is at 950. This is like, 10 - 11% cheaper?

I mean, AMD is still better value, but nowhere close to 30%

You’re not very good at this…

Hi Stan. I meant to write you sooner, but I’ve just been busy.

The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.

No. We get exactly what his comment is about.

If he was in the renewables camp, there would be no point, in this discussion over solar, to bring up nuclear. It’s absolutely unrelated.

What he’s doing is pushing the thought into people’s heads that nuclear is a good solution, and that’s why I’m calling him out for. For being a shill.

No. I type less.

How idiotic.

Oh. I thought it would be more impressive, but that’s still orders of magnitude away. Thanks!

AC units have beefy capacitors, right? Do you know in what range, for comparison?

The government wouldn’t have to buy that data, they just mandate the companies to follow the law.

This is different, it’s them buying personal information (including personal and financial information). This is the last thing you want from the government, especially one that’s turned fascist.

I’m in the same boat.

In general, there’s just no way I could ever justify buying a Nvidia card in terms of cost per buck, it’s absolutely ridiculous.

I’ll fork over 4 digits for a gfx when salaries go up by a digit as well.

And sometimes the trains disappear and I don’t notice it until someone asks me about it and then I can sometimes find it again lost halfway to another continent or sometimes I have absolutely no logs about that train ever having existed despite physical evidence that at one point it did leave the station.

But sometimes it’s fun!
