Have people never heard of the quiet game outside of an Australian cartoon?

I'm not clear on the details but I think some servers just hook up open loop to mains water for cooling.

Which would conversely strengthen the idea that wolves hunt in packs due to the difficulty of hunting.

But wait, if a lone wolf gets 53% of the moose, but a pack of six gets 83% of the moose, then per-wolf that's 13.8% of the moose. Why would an individual opt to hunt in a pack then?

Typo?

The global birth rate is falling. It's still quite above the replacement rate, but it is not as high as it used to be; it has fallen.

This comment makes no value judgement.

It's a person by person thing and I suspect age plays a large part in feelings towards the term. In general I would say avoid the term unless it is requested.

The most Linux response. Linux doesn't fit your use case? Clearly your use case is wrong! /s

A successful organism would not have evolved to highly express cortisol to weed itself out in the case that it has a stressful life. It makes no sense for an organism to evolve a trait that makes it at best equally likely and at worst less likely to reproduce.

The reason we release excess cortisol in modern life is because our bodies did not evolve for constantly present stressors, they evolved to be stressed in a situation, run away from the tiger, and then you're good.

Seems like that should actually be quite a useful task in the Netherlands considering all the polders!

This was always the risk with unfettered solar installation. You need policies that encourage energy storage in lockstep with renewable growth. You shouldn't risk precarity of the grid by assuming the free market will solve the issue. Grid storage is a hard problem to solve, and capitalism is bad at those.

You believe in the moon?

That is the only way the rich and powerful know how to act. Because ultimately, might makes right under capitalism.

IT is technology so i think the I would be for engineering

Interesting fact about the NM whiptail, they still need to have sex to reproduce for some reason, despite no gene swap occurring.

So you think we should decentralize cities. Make it so you don't need to go downtown for everything. Everything you need would be within 15 minutes of walking.

... A fifteen minute city perhaps.

The joke is on you. There are places where it already is easier than driving. What do such places have in common? There are so many people that having everyone drive is literally impossible to accommodate. You wouldn't drive in Manhattan, Tokyo, or Seoul. It literally makes absolutely no sense to. In these cities, public transit is faster and way more convenient.

Smaller cities can replicate this effect by just... not outrageously favouring car infrastructure like they do today in North America. That doesn't mean exclusively making driving worse, it means making public transit better at the same time with the freed up funding. And the freed up money is a lot, car infrastructure is super expensive. More routes with more stops at higher frequencies are made possible because of higher ridership, which increases convenience and makes it more likely you will get almost exactly from your origin to your destination.

But the American brain cannot conceive of this. "Communist transportation" fucking lmao. What if we made cities more liveable for humans, not for cars? Nah we can't do that that's communism.

If you make driving easier than transit, more people will drive who previously took transit. The reverse is also true. One of these situations is more desirable for myriad reasons.

As well, additional demand can be created by convenience. People will make trips they otherwise never would have if it's easier to make them.

Not to mention that an idea is not a game, not even conceptually. There's a reason it's called game design and not game turn-idea-into-code.

that's what they want you to think
