I loved the game, but I can see where people struggle. You cannot laser-focus on the objective. Just get in character, you are on a mysterious ship, it's completely abandoned and somehow returned to harbor still. You are just trying to

For me this sounds just like the lecturer inserted some casual sexism. I can say from my own experience at least at my university, that "Altherrenhumor" ("old gentleman humor") like this is still very common in German

Yes, this is the most obvious omission of the article. It really made me think about the kind of social dynamics that must be going on in an international and culturally-diverse research station like this one. Obviously, you will try to kee

The detection of solutions seems a bit buggy. In the fourth task "Add the angles BAC and EDF on the given line GH", I drew the circles DF and EF in, then connected E and F with a line segment, and it told me that I solved the prob

If you understand German, there is a great explanation how the energy market in Europe works here: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/plusminus/teurer-strom-wie... It explains why currently, even though gas is so p

The big energy suppliers burning coal all sit in Northrhine-Westfalia, the most populous state in Germany. Migrating away from (black) coal (used mostly in the steel industry) has caused big issues in the Ruhr area ("Strukturwandel&quo

At least in Germany, lignite plants are operating on locally mined lignite, which means there is a big open-pit mine directly next to the plant. This means that the water table needs to be drained to keep the mine dry. The pumps in many cas

Please don't forget that my claim is in the context of somebody else claiming that insulating all housing in Europe would at least take 100 years. Now you are literally redefining the terms I use and then quoting them back to me to arg

These maintenance tasks are exactly what this discussion is about. You will do major work on roof or facades every 50 years or so. This is exactly the opportunity where you pretty much get insulation for free. After 100 years the house will

What I mean with legal basis is that the laws do not exist yet. The constitution would allow these laws, even to the point of expropriation. But as long as the laws do not exist there is no legal basis to act on. In case of conflict, there

The competitive scene is probably also influenced from the speedrun community. And the speedrun community has really worked out the kinks in their ruleset, as in most games, you need to find the sweet-spot of allowing hacks and innovative t

The current price of electricity is determined by the price point of installations that are already built, which has absolutely nothing to do with the price of installations that will be built now and from now on. Also you need to learn the

I know you are just illustrating an opinion and not meaning it literally, but I want to stress how ridiculous your number of 100 years is in reality. The expected economic lifetime of a building in Germany is approximately 100 years. Which

Nice, a Perry Rhodan reference on HN, didn't expect that one :) I also wonder the same. In my layman opinion, the most sensible approach would be moving some of the new nuclear projects to Germany. This would then free up resources in

Battery storage is mature, yes. Unfortunately, there is not enough (economically extractable) Lithium to go around. Experts estimate a Lithium "hole" of up to 300.000 tons of missing yearly production by 2030. There is nothing we

Innovative technologies need time and capital for R&D. Without the climate crisis, doing this R&D only once the technology becomes required and therefore economically feasible would be fine. But with the current decarbonization targ

A year or so ago, every second image ad on YouTube was literal porn. From a technical standpoint it was pretty obvious what happened. The image was overlaid with a grid of white lines. As the images were likely downsampled to reduce the req

Why is every pro-nuclear article always so super-simplified to the point of being useless? The author looks at primary energy and despairs as the needle only moved by 3 percentage points to renewables. Also the author tells us that energy-s

Not sure about the rest of the EU, but at least in Germany, plasma donations at private collection companies are a common way for students to earn beer money or end-of-month money, as you can donate plasma every couple days. You also get pa
