I am in the same boat, I am loving it. Granted I bought a new PC recently so I can play the game at Ultra settings, but I find visual and narrative design are outstanding.

I saw the first Starlink set a couple of weeks ago, looking up from a city street. It is amazing sight, a line of moving stars, not very bright, stretching horizon to horizon. When all the satellites are in orbit, it will drastically change

The climate has been fairly stable over the last 10,000 years?

Is the Getty Villa built at a 1:1 scale with the original? Because it's impressively big.

As discussed previously, people are seriously overthinking this. Everyone who has been on a boat knows that the deep water is almost black. Like, you know, thick red wine in a ceramic container.

Populism will win in the end, and populists will overturn any unpopular ecological measures.

The links you posted show that 1/2m of slightly compacted regolith provide adequate protection from most radiation. It might be that 3d printing some components and burying them in regolith is much easier than large-scale excavation, a

Well in the absence of government regulations you could populate the new place with clones of yourself and institute a personal theocracy.

Yes, I would not draw brave conclusions about globalization out of a clickbait-format article. I also make an argument about authority of judgement, based on the longevity and reputation of the media channel.

The article draws very big conclusions out of thin air, four pages of text, two pictures, and a pretentious DNS record. On the opposite side of the spectrum of journalism was the NY Times article from earlier today, about the Arizona aquife

The conflict became about name after the aggressive irredentist rhetoric coming from newly-formed Makedonia in the 1990s. Remember that Greece had a civil war and Yugoslavia supported the communists in Northern Greece, so the subject is tri

How difficult is it to produce an artificial womb? Very difficult, would be my guess, and morally ambiguous to produce humans without parents, but is it possible?

Minoans sacrificed children in at least one of the palaces and practiced ritual cannibalism, according to recent finds. Romans destroyed the site of Carthage with great care, but you have to wonder what the myth of child sacrifices in the b

There are no exhaust trails or visible jet engines in the footage, so I'd say those UFOs are outside the limits of the physically possible as we understand it.

You're all overthinking it. When you are on a boat and you enter deep water in the Aegean, the color does become very dark like thick red wine, different to the blue waters you see from the coast.

The country is independent since 1908, and before that no one wanted to convert the local population, because non-Muslims paid higher taxes. Can we please stop it with the internet patriotism?

Neither side will make a move without a decade of preparation, and every act during that decade needs to be judged against a common moral standard. Also we need orbital brooms, even second-class powers these days can trigger a Kessler syndr
