I think it you want to see the environmental benefits, is less of saving animal lives and more ensuring that 100 million animals a year never exist?

Edit: Not sure what is controversial about this. We stop eating meat to stop farming of livestock. No livestock lives are saved, just new animals aren't born into the mincer.

Slightly more context:

" "I don't know if we’re going to pull it off," he wrote, "but looking at our narrative, visual and gameplay plans, I think what we're working on now will be our best work ever." "

Or this field research is going beyond correlation... "Over the past few years, scientists have begun to reveal the neural mechanisms that cause the human body to unravel when social needs go unmet. "

Why use metric? Because the fact that 1440KiB is 1.41MiB is annoying.

It doesn't make it better, it's just really much more convenient when you're working in a base 10 digit system. There are lots of times when the advantages of an alternative unit system outweighs that convenience.

Its a funny thing that so many people are emotionally attached to unit systems. It's a tool, use the best one for the job.

Nah good on you, fight the good fight. It wasn't series of mistakes it was deliberate policy choices. Policy choices that show no sign of being changed. Capitalism has eaten democracy from the inside out, it will continue dancing around inside is skin till we see it for what it is.

I mean, it's speculation. Current estimated completion is November this year, and the battery power price was already raised to 4c in 2020 estimated https://www.capdyn.com/news/capital-dynamics-and-8minute-solar-energy-partner-on-breakthrough-400mwac-eland/

This would still be cheaper than nuclear. But it's not a true comparison. I am asking the cost to replace fossil generation. Which means some degrees of over provisioning and redundancy. The bank of America paints a very different picture in its 2023 report (https://advisoranalyst.com/2023/05/11/bofa-the-nuclear-necessity.html/) but I hardly trust them.

Either way your evidence from anecdote makes it clear you have as little understanding as I do. So I am still none the wiser if solar + generation is a solution today that makes nuclear irrelevant. If it's not we can't just keep burning coal till it is though. People have been saying for 30 years let's just use renewables. But the world would look very different today if we had transition to nuclear energy back then.

Your statement disagrees with what I could turn up on duckduckgo. Can you provide your sources, I'm not a subject matter expert.

Yes, but your assertion that renewable is cheaper completely ignored the cost of grid scale energy storage suitable to remove fossil fuel generation.

That's a terrible analogy.

It's more like, imagine Fords required a connect to a server to run and they turned that server off, stopping a perfectly functional car you purchased from working.

Then you sued them to force them to make the car work without the server.

Wait, what's your definition of a disease?

Making the light is a relativity easy step, it's mirrors that are hard af.

But China will develop euv tech and beyond, and I hope they will do it in a new way and advance human knowledge.

And I hope this nationalistic freakshow will just melt away, as it's a ball and chain on humanity.

Anyone a RRR subscriber? Any got any further info on why Tony Biggs was suspended for two weeks?

I use launtel, I pay a premium i think, but I don't know because I've go no desire to change.

Ok, so I don't think I explained my thoughts on crushing well. It's not, in the real world, bludgeoning damage. I can see why they chose to not have a crushing damage type and just use bludgeoning though, as anything susceptible to one would be susceptible to the other.

Ugh, bringing AC into it is a mess. But I think your approach results in the tennis ball lasting an average of 20 hits in a game between two strong opponents. And less time the better they are at playing tennis?

I think you've moved the goal post, but perhaps in an interesting direction. If the goal is to simplfy the damage types, what do you lose by replacing force attacks with other types? I think you lose an impact type of damage like damage to creatures you can't hit with a hammer. Magic missle goes from best to worst spell.

Physically its all same force, electromagnetic, but I think it misses the point. Nobody thinks that lightning is the same as slashing.

High pressure fluid injuries are significantly different, but we're moving off track.

Let's come from the other direction. Bludgeoning, slashing and piercing all do damage through the application of force. However, the damage they do is amplified and relise on a particular susceptibility of the victim.

Bludgeoning amplifies is force through rapid impact time.

Piercing amplifies is force through a sharp hard single point.

Slashing is more complex, but it amplifies with a sharp hard edge kinda.

But these 'tricks' to deal more damage don't work on everything. For example bludgeoning requires 'inelastic deformation' before movement. I.e. a bat breaks a skull but not a tennis ball. I can see why crushing is put in this category, it recognises that damage is due to the susceptibility of the target to be inelastically deformed (bruised, broken bones, crushed organs w/e). Everything has an inelastic deformation point, put a tennis ball in a press and you can crush it. But in this case it's not that the ball is susceptible to bludgeoning damage, it's just that you have applied lots of force.

Same with piercing, the effectiveness of a spear is reduced by something that can distribute its force over a larger area. Which doesn't matter if the 'spear' has a huge amount of force behind it. At which point it doesn't matter if it was a spear with a sharp point or just a rod (or jet of fluid).

I don't know what or if there are any cannon explanations, but I always had understood force as well... force. Bludgeoning, piercing, slashing are damage amplifiers that make do with limited force. But if you trying to damage say, a rock, they are basically irrelevant. But you put a rock in a hydrolic press and apply a enough force, and boom it cannot withstand. So being hit by an eldritch blast is less like being shot and more like being hit with a high pressure oil leak.

At first I was like, it's fine. Then I realised we were comparing the flowing water. I didn't even notice that the second image is of flowing water too...
