Refresh until you get guitar cat.
I had to rely on NickwithaC’s helpful comment.

Start at the black food truck and go toward the orange seating. It’s on the back of a guy’s T-shirt who’s sitting at the table one down from the couple who are bending down, one with his hand still on his beer.
(I haven’t linked a comment before, so I hope I did this right.)
Luckily you get more queens as you fail.
I only needed five to win. 😓
I feel so accomplished…
Well, that too. The whole CEO personally delivering a cease and desist is a pretty big hint.
Heat pumps and air conditioners both work off of the refrigeration cycle. A heat pump is essentially an air conditioner that has a reversing valve to allow the refrigerant to flow the opposite way.
It’s indeed not neutral. It always takes work to move heat from a cold area to a hotter area, so there’s always energy (and therefore heat) being added every cycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and_refrigeration_cycle
I just assumed it was fake based on the community.
True, usually the front only falls off if a wave hits it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM
I had no idea Moss 2 was out, and it came out in 2022. Instant purchase for sure, but now I have to decide if I’m going to replay the first one. Thanks for the PSA.
The previous 40kW proposal linked in the article mentions it would allow operation where solar panels aren’t feasible, like permanently shadowed areas where water might be. There’s also the dust problem to solve with solar panels, although this would also be a problem for nuclear reactors since their radiators could become less efficient from dust buildup.
There’s a lot of extra costs associated with making solar panels space worthy. No atmosphere also means no radiation shielding and no cooling. I actually managed to find satellite solar panels for sale: https://www.cubesatshop.com/product/solar-panels/. They have front and back panels but if we assume they didn’t have a back and all panels faced towards the sun it would be ~120W. That gives us $133/W, which means 100kW would be $13.3 million. Unfortunately the mass isn’t listed, so we can’t estimate the launch costs. I don’t have a way to estimate the cost of a fission nuclear reactor on the moon since we don’t know how it would work yet, so this calculation is mostly for fun. That math would change significantly if we are able to manufacture solar cells from lunar regolith.
In nuclear’s defense, we’ve been sending plutonium-238 into space since 1961. There’s been a few accidents, but the fuel casing has been improved so that the later accidents resulted in no leakage. That was in the early days, so we know a lot more about safety now. Do you think the risks are too high for any nuclear fuels in space, or does uranium pose unique risks?
It was a bad demo. I solved every “puzzle” near instantly except the robot, where I didn’t realize the arm had to be on a specific side. The demo was basically the story prologue and intro tutorial, but then it stops without ever giving you a proper puzzle. It didn’t do a good job of showing depth in its mechanics. Each puzzle has a single correct obvious solution. I wanted to optimise, but that single solution doesn’t give anything to work with. Forget single solution though, most levels are a single part. I get that they’re introducing new parts, but you’re allowed to what you’ve already taught even when introducing new mechanics. The lack of interaction between parts is a large part of what makes it seem so shallow. It makes me question if the dev even knows how they interact.
I didn’t mind the story at first, but it overstayed its welcome. Your “less is more” is an excellent way of putting it.
Hopefully the full game will be better, but I’m not counting on it.
You guys are the best. Thanks for the warm welcome back.
This post was actually how I learned slrpnk.net was back online.
I fail to see this as a problem. More pasta is always welcome.
https://xkcd.com/978/ The problem is that a lazy answer builds credibility for a source or fact. You may try to disclaim that it’s unreliable, but the mere act of suggesting an answer implies your own support for it.
“I’ve heard there’s studies that suggest vaccines cause autism.” is a lazy answer to the question of vaccine safety that ignores the complicated nature of academic research. What it does do is build consensus. Over time, that lazy answer repeated gets you to state where a lot of people doubt the safety of vaccines.
I realize we all live busy lives and nobody has time to research things in great depth. Some people barely research major purchase decisions. What people are trying to communicate here is that an AI answer has very low credibility along the lines of “my uncle who works at Nintendo”.
We don’t need you to act as a human interface for ChatGPT. If you want to use ChatGPT, use it as a starting point for your own research. Ask it questions like “Where could I find information on this topic?” and go from there. Of course, that’s a lot of work; but you can always choose not to post.
If you have life experiences that give you insight into a topic, or you did research and found a good source; please comment and share your insights. They add value to the conversation and it’s why most of us are here.
I don’t know how you would go about banning parties. You would have to ban almost all forms of cooperation.
I agree with Madison that you can’t treat the causes of factionalism, you can only mitigate its effects. Madison argued a large government with many members makes it harder for one faction to seize a majority.
Unfortunately, the founding fathers fucked up bad when they chose first-past-the-post/plurality as the voting system. Social choice theory shows that plurality voting will naturally gravitate towards a two party system. No third party can get a single toe in the door because of the spoiler effect. Plurality’s only benefit is its simplicity, everything else about it is somewhere between bad and horrifying.
The lollipop really completes the bit.
Space Station 14? The fact you specified 14 instead of 13 gives me hope that it’s making good progress.
This is excellent satire. I’m surprised people are missing it. To anyone thinking it’s real, look at how self reflective it is. No Republican is justifying that brown people are bad because “grainy video footage” told them so. The choice to include the word grainy is hinting that the people with that mindset are often poor. Those people are typically too busy trying to survive to consider that their media sources may be misleading them. Same thing with the radio told me when I was young example. They’re calling out that this story has been told their whole lives, and we typically just accept what we learn in our youth as true.
Honestly, I could write an essay on how many things this satire is alluding to and how well it does it, but my lunch break is over.
