Well if cheating is going to make the game almost unplayable the outcome is pretty much the same as you deciding to never install it in the first place due to disliking anticheat systems. So I don't really see the problem.

I assumed that cheating is way more widespread amongst multiplayer gamers? There is a lot less anonymity in esports and if you get caught and blacklisted.. well you just wasted thousands or tens of thousands of hours. It's pretty hard

Yes it was. That hypothesis about ketosis is very wacky and not backed by any evidence. Premodern diets were very high in carbohydrates compared to modern ones....

Imagine how useless a 21:9 laptop would be.. It all comes down screen size.

For laptops definitely. Screen above ~24"? I don't really think this is that relevant and if have multiple windows open side by side it's the opposite (16:9 is more ergonomic than 3:2,).

That's tangential and doesn't change the fact that solar barely produces anything during winter if you go far enough north (and you don't have any way to store the produced power for at least 4-5months).

> And still, PV generated electricity during these periods is priced cheaper on the spot market than nuclear. I still don't understand what you're trying to say. It's priced at what the market is willing to pay regardless

Depends on the latitude and weather patterns. For instance you might need 25 (or much more) higher capacity to generate as much power in December as you would in May in most of Northern Europe (that should be pretty obvious though).

I find it hard to imagine solar could ever be cheaper than nuclear during winter in Northern Europe.

Wouldn't proper regulation of the health-insurance industry be easier to achieve than Medicare for all? It's not like single payer is the only real option. A 100% privatized system can work just fine with proper regulation. US c

You can still have an entirely "private" but heavily regulated system like those in the Netherlands or Switzerland.
