I think Age of Empires 2 will always be in my top 10 list of favorite games. It's in a similar vein of just upgrading graphics, but I also really enjoyed the spin-offs built on the same game engine: Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and

There is also a barcade near me that has a model I like (and is probably advantageous to them for staffing). It is a pour-your-own beer/wine/cider bar, so it isn't a full bar. But the RFID wristbands they give you for the pou

Yep, you get about 36% more sun above the atmosphere. 1361 W/m^2 above the atmosphere vs ~1000 W/m^2 on a clear day [0]. Now you just need to bring big enough batteries to survive 14 days in a row with no sun. [0] https:/&#x

The amount of light does decay the solar panels. But it is not the only thing causing degradation. I believe the other large item for degradation is thermal. Operation at higher temperature induces degradation faster and there is some degra
