they also have to provide the additional labour of keeping hate speech off the platform in perpetuity.

The developers can choose to lock down and effectively disable discussions entirely if they want.

Steam simply provides devs a service, easy access to host a forum for their game w/o having to manage that separately. Using it is completely optional.

1W of installed capacity would yield 24Wh of energy at 100% in 1 day at capacity. (1W * 24h = 24h)

Hence, you are getting an average of 6Wh / 24Wh * 100% = 25% capacity. Your winter numbers end up being 4-12% and summer 25-50% of capacity.

Wh/Wi/h is your capacity factor.

The days the steam engine are numbered.

Not really. Unless there are some breakthroughs in technology that significantly lower capex & opex for grid scale energy storage, they’ll be sticking around for a long time.

There is an asterisk on the 1TW number, and that asterisk is capacity factor. In practice it means that depending on the time of year and location, the effective output of your solar panel will be between 0-40% of label capacity .

In my country for instance, you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time, which also happens to coincide with the peak demands (heating). Luckily, our politicians had some foresight in the 70s & 80s and built lots of hydro and nuclear power, which has been the backbone of our grid ever since (despite attempts to dismantle it).

Yup, still rocking my oneplus 5t from 2018 and will keep using that bad boy until it literally breaks.

共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”

和 - here meaning peace or harmony.

The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).

It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.

Democracy party

Republicanism party

Most collecting achievements are just game filler really. The ones I find interesting are ones that, in a more free-form game, create an interesting goal to work towards.

For some of my favourites I’ve on occasion gone through the list and been like ‘Yeah that sounds like an interesting objective.’

The key for decent ones is usually that they are an achievable goal for one playthrough that act as a ‘guiding star’.

My first full Factorio playthrough was a Lazy Bastard run. The game is a lot more chill when turning off biter expansions & turning up trees slightly in the map gen.

Granted I think I racked up like 200hrs in that run, largely because I could leave the game running in the background whilst going off to study or do other stuff. Once you’re past the intial stage & have a mall set up, hand-crafting really doesn’t matter much.

There is no spoon was alright as a goal, but it also ends up being a definitive end to that playthrough (which, arguably, can be both good and bad).

Yes, particularly people with chronic physical health issues are significantly overrepresented in both depression and suicide.

Yeah, I will admit that there is a strange satisfaction to brushing off snow.

Thick frost however? That’s just torture.
