Thank you. I remembered watching a video about this topic, but couldn't remember where. This was it.

"I'm just gonna shoot at the presidential candidate and see what happens" feels really wrong. He missed his head by a few centimetres. How is all of this even possible.

The stock indices have reached new records after every single crash . Because capitalism must grow. Line must go up. Because if line go down, the whole promise of return of investment goes out of the window and the thing collapses. Any money you put in the market as a whole (ETFs), will be worth more in the future than it is now. But it has to be money that you don't need to rely on in the next 15-20 years, so it's exclusively for people who are rich already.

Everything else, like picking a single stock like those GameStop idiots, is just straight up gambling. Betting on horse racing is equally as productive.

To everyone recommending vitamin c: there is no evidence that it does anything but making your pee slightly more expensive unless you have a deficit, which you don't, because you'd notice your teeth falling out.

Liquids, rest, ibuprofen and wasting around for a week is all we got. Pseudoephedrine medication if it's really bad and congested or you need to stand upright for three hours because something can not wait.

Get well soon.

Tying carry weight to your strength stat is just wild. Oh you're a caster? Good luck carrying that ebony cuirass out of here.

Then again, it is morrowind, so you can just cast Feather on yourself to carry more stuff OR even cast Burden on the enemy and suddenly they are overencumberd. Or drink strength potions. Or just fly. Or make a stupid amount of money in various ways, making loot kind of neglectable.

I think it's a genre that was incredibly locked into it's time. The sound, the vibe, the aesthetics all coagulated into this peak Y2K moment, where it looked like it's the future... And then basically it was a musical blip, apart from a few bangers and Linkin Park as one the most successful bands of all time. Is there even a (known) band in last ten years that would call what they make "nu metal"? Even Linkin Parks music sounded nothing like their early stuff after 2007 or so.

Critical support to your dad. The horny Anne Frank album is not exactly what I would call driving music.

Gonna be real with you, that is my position on average with the US government and specifically the state department or anything involving intelligence agencies. If the CIA said the sky is blue, I would look twice and still might be sceptical from that moment.

The rock splitting scene is one of my favourite cutscenes of all time. That theme just goes harddd and the fact that it's a frogdude just makes it that much more wonderous.

Thanks Toryiama. Absolute legend.

What a miracle it was. A genuinely leftists game filled to the brim with creativity, humor, charm, absurdity, personality, world building and gut wrenching drama. A political game, in every sense of the word and an instant cult classic. So good that even the mainstream simply could not ignore it and just had to roll with the moment.

Of course it couldn't last. Nothing good in this world ever does. mazovian-thought

Nuclear power is literally more expensive at this point than renewables. No, you can't keep using the shitty, cracking, deadly waste producing nuclear plants of the past, not even the power companies want that, and building new ones takes over 10 years, not counting all the planning and beaurocracy you have to go through. And to become CO2 neutral after all the excavation, construction and mining necessary takes another decade. Nuclear power plants are MASSIVE engineering undertakings.

Meanwhile modern windmills can be mass-produced right now and take like 5 years depending on their placement to be both cost and CO2 neutral. After that it's LITERALLY free energy for a good 30 years. And they become cheaper and bigger and more efficient every single year. And btw if you ever pull out an article or a calculation that is older than a year for any comparison, you are dealing with OLD data. They have become far more efficient and flexible in their placement and will likely continue to do so.

The anti-nuclear protests were completely right. Stop playing the people who wanted a safer world without nuclear waste and incidents against the modern climate movement.

TL;DR: Wheels on windmill go brrrr, nuclear power is not a short term solution and never has been.
