Uh, yeah?

What’s the child game called where you put one hand on the table and the other person puts their hand on top and then with the other hands and then pull out the first hand again?

I just want to play Minecraft for the first time again too.

This seems to be jumping to conclusions.

You’d be lucky to find TFM these days.

It’s all IKEA sketches at best by now and if shit doesn’t work you then can get a new one.

Best alternative is to Search The Fucking YouTube.

It’s horrible, I know, but it’s a pretty large database with some good users in between.

I recently had an issue with my car that the official brand mechanic couldn’t fix or even be bothered to acknowledge. I searched all the forums (and read the manual), but I finally found the solution on YouTube. Thanks to 3rd party software I was able to download it for future reference, because who knows when it’ll be taken down…

I only played the original. I didn’t really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren’t all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

No, it’s just one guy on a sit mower. It collects it as it goes or leaves it on the ground.

On larger roads they use a “roadside mower” which is a tractor with a robot arm trimmer that leaves the grass in the ditch. Still just one guy.

The latest development is to spread “wild” flowers instead of grass in the roadside. Supposedly to increase biodiversity, but I think it’s mostly virtue signalling. A roadside next to heavy traffic isn’t a great habitat for insects anyway. They also used one-season flower seeds, so they will have to seed it every year…which makes no sense for this purpose. On the positive side, it looks pretty and hopefully creates some awareness of the issue.

Very good points.

Particularly that it only makes sense to generate hydrogen when electricity is in surplus - because otherwise we might as well use the electricity directly to offset use of other fuels.

I don’t mind hydrogen as such a storage even if it’s inefficient, but I do have 3 more reasons to dislike hydrogen:

1. It’s going to be used to whitewash fossil fuels. Look at all the colours for hydrogen. These will be mixed up because it’s impossible to tell from the end product. Hell, we can’t even transport polluted dirt without someone suddenly classifying it as “clean”. It will be completely impossible to keep track of dirty hydrogen through the supply chain.

2. It will keep users dependent on expensive physical fuel distribution that serves no purpose but to transport the fuel while keeping the supplier in charge of the price.

3. Refueling of any kind is a massive waste of time. Sure, it takes longer to charge batteries, but at least the users don’t have to watch it happening. It makes no sense for grid connected trains of all things.

Another thing that ought to shock you is the price.

A couple million is all that this is worth to these politicians. Integrity is selling cheap when you have none to offer, but it’s sad that a serious issue is worth so little to them.

Of course it matters, but not much. American car export is not very important. The flow is in the other direction. There are more European cars in USA than American cars in Europe, and then there’s all the Korean, Japanese and Chinese cars all over the world, all import. A little UK in there too.

The American automobile business is a hollow shell of past dreams. Grossly speaking: Nobody but Americans buy American ICE cars and they also don’t themselves.

When the foreign car manufacturers switch to electric engines, so does USA, unless you desperately want to drive a '98 Pontiac Sunfire baby.

People worldwide buy American Tesla, though they’re produced in China and Germany or wherever, but at least it’s still electric, so…

EVs are coming whether or not they want it. Globally distributed car manufacturers won’t bother making gasoline cars when the rest of the world won’t buy them.

So, American brands can do whatever they want. Always did. The decision is on state level and with 12 states already pledging to follow the global goals, it’s only up to the manufacturers if they bother running dual production to cater to the decreasing market in USA while attempting to keep exports up with EVs or entirely miss out on exports. It’s a losers game already.

It doesn’t matter if Biden does this or that in this regard.

ICE cars are phased out globally and there’s nothing the oil industry, the car manufacturers nor the American president can do about that.

Ah sorry, I misread it as washing.

Anyway, I think a positive expectation might be more motivational for some people than the constant fearmongering, which often leads to apathy. The largest hurdle for improving the environment isn’t companies nor rich sociopaths, no it’s apathy allowing the companies and sociopaths to get their way.

I want to believe that we can fix this, even if it’s uphill for the rest of my life, in the best case scenario.

I’ll take any sliver of hope. Also, they’re not greenwashing anything? The article mentions a lot of relevant issues despite the seemingly positive statistic. We’ll see soon enough. It’s just a prediction anyway.

That’s not exactly the take I was expecting, but alright.

The person who posted it is apparently addicted to abusing other peoples labour. Now, as a labour dealer, I can’t provide them with one guy with 10 years experience. That’s too high of a dose.

However, if they’re willing, I can probably find 10 guys with 1 year experience, but the price is going to be 10 times the going rate, because that’s how much it’ll cost me to hire and manage those 10 people off fiver.

Am I cutting the shit? Go find another dealer then. It’s not my “need”. That’s a “your problem”.

This might be pedantic, but the use of the word “need” pisses me off more than the unrealistic requirement. It’s so needy.

I doubt any game logic is going to be that fast ever. It might look better, but it won’t make much difference in how players or even the game itself can react to events in the game. Perhaps it’ll make VR more comfortable or something.

It’s not a first as the article suggests.

Sweden is way ahead on making steel production carbon neutral. It’s not about capturing the carbon - it’s about not using carbon at all.

It’s amazing that it has existed for so long and investors still don’t understand why the users go there in the first place.

You underestimate my ability to not give a shit. I’d be the one driving them crazy.

His face tells me everything I need to know.
