I wish more game developers optimized for space. I stopped playing video games almost altogether because I'm not going to download 70 GB every time I want to play something. The size has gotten absurd.

In locations of significant fall out the Sv./hr could be high enough to induce radiation poisoning. Inhalation of fallout allows alpha particles to bypass your skin and cause cancers faster (or again, radiation poisoning). A better exa

"Quiet quitting" is yet another term coined by the hysterical media. It's not a real thing. Sure, there are probably people just sitting around doing nothing and collecting a paycheck. But the media machine conceived this ter

Not at all. I mostly avoid libraries because I can get most of what I need via PDFs these days. Occasionally, I'll need to find an old copy of a book or something so I search a library. Though, at least where I am at, the technical lit

I don't think the perspective is uniquely American though you correctly identified my nationality. Protecting yourself from your neighbor is to protect yourself from human nature. It's not to say so much that you should hate your

The FEMA simulated strike maps from the 70s show common targets. Mostly in the midwest, large concentrations in the coasts. This of course assumes civilians are mostly left alone, which is unlikely in a large scale nuclear war. The strike m

The big fear isn't being a target. There are very few areas that would not be completed irradiated by substantial fallout taken by the winds. Airbursts would magnify this effect. It's safe to assume that in any real cook off every

Us -> Europe gas supply is LNG via boat . It can take up to a month to deliver something like that from the US to the shores of the UK/France/etc. Then distribution needs to occur. Yes, the US can profit HUGELY off this but it

LNG sales soar and one of their historic allies freezes because the supply lines will arrive every 1 to 2 weeks if they used the fastest available cruise ship. Tankers are larger and slower, so double it for the sake of argument. Then it ta

I'd imagine an explosion of the size measured by scientists wouldn't have been caused by running overpressure. I can't find the article at the moment but I recall it being equivalent of some undersea depth charges. Those aren

The only thing controversial is you saying someone with a differing opinion is acting like a 9 year old. This is only serving to further reinforce the general feeling that PMs are overall useless, overpowered, and undersupervised. Likewise

I am paid to write code not sit in 10 meetings a day. If I raise the issue everyone gets all pouty. There is an unspoken feeling of being forced to attend every meeting assigned to you just in case something feels useful. You deliberately i

That's a good counter-argument. Don't most major providers provide closed captions? Or is it only Google Meet?

I keep my camera off all the time because I don't like having it on when I'm tabbed off doing my actual job. While the PM is bleeting on about whatever they feel is important I can do actual work. Cameras shouldn't be require

I suppose it's not unexpected in that pregnant women have to avoid most vaccinations for the same reason. What is shocking is that "trusted news" claimed this wasn't true just last year. You'd think the vaccine cure

I usually ignore most articles that fall in this category. "Some X", "X suggests", "Study Shows", "These X say Y", etc. It's all thinly veiled opinion articles. I wish there was a plugin to just

Rust users don't even register as a rounding error in the grand scheme of things. Don't get me wrong, I like Rust _the idea_. But to suggest Rust in it's current form, managed by it's current team, will be anything but a

If this was true we could survey the United States and approximately match the tax allocations. Medicare is not a well-liked system by almost anyone on it. Gen X, Millennials, and now Zoomers see no purpose in social security (they most lik

No one has answered how people intend to do things that require transportable fuel. I can't buy a Tesla (or whatever) and hot-swap batteries. If I travel 200 miles to go camping and the nearest charging station is 150 miles away I am h
