I think our lack of vitamin C production is a feature and not a bug because we basically can't eat too much of it. But animals that produce it like rats can get cancer from eating too much.
But many of those same western countries level out the population decay with immigration. To my knowledge South Korea, Japan, and China don't have as much immigration.
Ideally I'd like trains for local trips and high speed rail for longer distances. I'd prefer to not own or use a car at all but most cities would have to be torn down and rebuilt to achieve this.
I think you're viewing red states as all red but most of the time the big cities in red states are blue. Even in very blue states there are rural pockets on red.
Lol "it's not capitalism, because a nationalized healthcare is capitalism"
The profit motive of capitalist controlled entities is completely capitalism; it's basically a textbook case of capitalism. Don't fool yourself by saying the countries with more socialized healthcare are somehow more capitalist to the one that doesn't.
If they were to run some applications on the side it would validate the power usage. Like if it also was a Plex server it could be more reasonable to use more power.
Could also really hinge on the electricity cost for their region. At 10 cents a kwh and a delta of 100 watts we'd be talking 87 dollars a year assuming it's always running at a delta of 100 watts.
I doubt there will be a 100 watt delta especially newer architectures that idle really well.
Epic doesn't have to be as good as Steam; it has to be better than Steam. People don't up and leave platforms they like for new platforms for no reason. Epic can take a smaller cut on games but if that doesn't carry to the end user why should I care.
