  • That's an interesting thought, but it might be counterproductive. Commercial-scale inverters are usually fan-cooled so I actually think that would make the overheating worse, unless you used liquid cooling and pumped the water underground or something. But that's more trouble than it's worth. The heat isn't that big of a deal, I was just pointing out that heat isn't desirable for a solar farm since the title of the article seemed to be implying that a hot desert was the ideal location for solar.

    As to your other question I've seen dc strings run several hundred feet without issue, so that wouldn't be a concern.

  • Yeah several times I have tried to play Crusader Kings because conceptually its really cool but I just give up every time because I don't know wtf is going on.

    Also this may seem like a weird suggestion but if you like FPS you may like Rainbow Six: Seige. Got over a thousand hours and I'm still cooking up strategies with my gaming buddy. And unlike a true strategy game you can just run and gun when you start out and still have fun and the game will always be balanced because it's pvp and it will adjust your rank accordingly.

  • Solar in the deserts still a good idea, but I would like to point out that solar farms don't actually like heat. Makes the panes inefficient and the inverters overheat. Cold and very sunny is the best ("high deserts"), although you don't get that very often.

  • Some aspects of it. "The voice" is basically jedi mind tricks. People that are attuned also get visions/senses of foreboding about the future. There's no telekinetic stuff as far as I know.

  • I had the same experience: I played DS1 almost completely blind (I'd seen my old roommates playing it years ago so I knew some of the tricks, in a half-remembered sort of way). It was hard, and I got stuck in a few places for a really long time but wow it was extremely rewarding. Anyways I'm not that good at videogames, if you're persistent pretty much anyone can beat dark souls 1 I think

  • I think you are misreading this. The age sections at the top are just a demographic breakdown of the two groups. Note rhat all the different percentages for age sum to 100. The results are just the bottom section of your screenshot ("anthromorphic questionnaire"). Does seem to be statistically significant.

  • I feel like you are overlooking the fact that bears are dangerous too! Yeah, you will probably be fine. But you might get mauled. I don't think anyone is arguing there is zero risk to being alone in the woods with a random man. It's a question of which is more dangerous. The original bear vs man statement is so vague that it's hard to answer scientifically but I maintain my original stance that most women who were alone in the forest with a random bear would choose to switch to a random man once they realized what that felt like.

    I think what many men, myself included, find rather upsetting is the assessment of the risk men represent by feminists. If someone said "I would rather jump out of an airplane with a trash bag for a parachute than fly next to a Muslim" that would be offensive to Muslims. Even if you tried to justify that statement with your reply above... it would still be offensive.

  • It's also just part of a wider internet trend I think. More and more games and social media have them. Developers are getting better and better at hacking people's attention and reward pathways. For Duolingo I think it's fun, because learning a language is a fun and productive thing to do anyways (and despite the hate it has really worked well for me) but for games and things like social media or whatever I just find it annoying.

  • I agree that these fees are bad and I hate them, but couldn't you make the opposite argument that they serve as a (money) tax on the rich? Poor people will take the time to shop around for the best deal, whereas rich people will simply pay whatever for the product they want. Therefore hidden fees disproportionately are paid by the rich.

  • Here's the problem with that statement. I agree that there is a problem with men committing rape. However, I (along with most men) have never raped anybody. Furthermore I have not done anything to perpetuate the actions of the minority of men who do commit sex crimes. Therefore I do NOT take responsibility or admit fault for their actions. Saying that men as a whole are the problem is offensive and unhelpful. It's how random peaceful Muslims feel when conservatives tell them they need to take responsibility for the actions of terrorists and take action to stop terrorists "in their community" like all Muslims are in one big group chat. I would straight up give my life to prevent a woman I don't know from being raped. Idk what more you want from me.

  • I just want to say that I feel like most people in this this thread have never been alone in the forest with a bear. I have and even as a guy that shit will get your pulse racing. I feel that if you were in the forest alone with a bear and THEN you got to decide if you were rather the bear was a man, 90% of people would switch to a man once they realized what that felt like. Don't believe me? Watch the show "Alone" and see how badly these PROFESSIONAL survival experts are shaken by bear encounters.
