The heat from something like a datacenter will be far more localized and could damage the immediate area. I’m not saying they’ll magically warm the entire ocean any more than they would on land dumping waste heat into the atmosphere, but local temperature changes could have an effect.

Never played it. I’ll have a look. Thanks.

I’m far more concerned with the suggested floating datacenters. Just dumping more waste heat into the ocean. WCGW.

That’ll happen when they turn over some piece of critical infrastructure or something over to AI. Power, stock market, something that will affect tens or hundreds of millions of people and wreck lives or even kill people.

Nonetheless these clowns will push for it because profit, and some fool politicians will OK it because campaign money.

The sweet spot was getting the full game on disc and getting included DLC, having the ability to mod the game, and run private servers. It was kinda the golden era of this stage in gaming. Computers were powerful enough to give a great visual experience and studios were still interested in producing engaging storylines in triple A releases instead of just banging out battle royale games.

You could just enjoy the game as-is with a really good singleplayer campaign and then with whatever online offered. To this day I still have great memories of Half Life, Crysis, or even MoH:AA, especially the Snowy Park map. Do they compare graphically with today’s games like Fortnite? Not a chance. But you remember the story and how the game was way better at pulling you into it.

Some of the mods from this era turned out to be just as popular, if not moreso, than the original base game. Some of them live on to this day.

Sure, some Steam games offer mods and the like, but it certainly isn’t the same thing as what we had 15 or so years ago.

Love that Oldfield album. Had it for decades, and was thrilled to find out it was based on a book I’d read quite a long time before discovering the album.

Edit: I don’t think people understand I was agreeing with the parent comment.

Yes it does. It wastes more time and is deliberately designed to make you stay in the store longer and hopefully spend more money.

Yes, but not just parties. Parties using red cups are historically going to be drinking parties for younger people like “keggers.” Red cups are fairly ubiquitous for lots of events like picnics, cookouts, birthday events and the like.

I can’t say they’re used at all parties, but they’re pretty common.

No we shouldn’t. Imagine where the taxes would go, and then understand where people would make sure they didn’t go. A shitload of people are racist, self serving, and shortsighted.

Peas and carrots are too full of sugar. I mean, they’re better than chips or candy bars by a long shot, but minimizing them or mixing peas and carrots with other less sugary veg is a better idea.

Edit: triggered people who somehow think I said you can’t eat peas and carrots. Whatever. SJW away.

That would be wild…an asteroid returning fossils (surely fossils were blasted into space, not that I’m suggesting anything balsted into space can fossilize.)

Your mistake was using “Hitler” and “allegedly”, an incredibly poor choice.

The rest of your argument is plausible.

That’s like saying gravity isn’t actually gravity and didn’t do gravity things unless a scientist tests it exhaustively and then says “gravity exists.”

Anyone can see gravity does indeed exist and does gravity things, it’s the extent of the properties of gravity that need to be left to the experts.

Hitler did genocide. No question.

How much did he genocide? Quite a lot, but we don’t have precise numbers.

So yes, Hitler did do genocidal things regardless of whether or not he had a court convict him of those things, and no, we don’t need “allegedly” as pedantry or exploiting an irrelevant technicality.

Profitability and convenience.

Comparing this guy to LaGuardia? Hope not.
