Hopefully this eventually becomes the game Spore was supposed to be.

Thanks for the recommendation! I haven’t heard of Elysian Eclipse. It definitely seems like it’s trying to fulfill the Spore concept.

You’re getting down voted but it’s a reasonable question. It’s not as if there is violence being perpetrated by only one side.

Nobody wants civilians to be harmed. What solution is there that keeps Israeli and Palestinian civilians safe? Will Hamas actually respect a cease fire?

Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.

I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...

That article doesn’t make a fair comparison.

It compares murders (intentional, not legally justified killings) in the UK, to homicides (any and all killings) in the US.

Is this picture from the exterior? I’m guessing this is a fixed vinyl (as opposed to wood) window?

If it’s the exterior, that gap might be for water drainage. If it’s the interior it might be for equalizing interior and exterior pressure. I’m doubtful either is the case though.

Filling the gap is likely okay.

Unfortunately since these are single pane windows most of the thermal performance issues will be due to the glass. Sealing this gap will help some, but it will be just a drop in the bucket.

Replacing the windows with insulated glass (two pane) windows is ideal. However that will be expensive.

The easiest/cheapest option will be the temporary cling-film type kits you can buy–you won’t be able to operate the windows, but that probably won’t be an issue in the winter. Properly sized/installed storm windows will help some too, and be significantly cheaper than new windows.

It’s a bit hard to tell in the pictures: is this a dual pane vinyl sliding window?

If it’s single pane (or single pane with a storm window) there isn’t a ton you can do. Most of the sound (and cold) will be coming though the glass. Anything you add will have a marginal improvement.

Assuming this is dual pane, there probably aren’t many place you’d be able to add weatherstrip that don’t already have some. So replacing any crushed/worn weatherstrip is one of the best things you could do.

Have you pinpointed exactly where drafts are coming through? You can use a candle/lighter to see where air is intruding. Oftentimes drafts are due to poor installation, and not necessarily the window construction.

That’s not true at all. There are multiple copies of the original film. Only one of the original copies was damaged by Life.

I live here and people are getting priority over AI?

Iowa isn’t like many states where there is water scarcity. This cooling water isn’t even being consumed. It’s used for cooling and returned to the waste water system.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

The water isn’t being consumed. It’s going through the same process all the water in the city is going through.

Pulled from the river, cleaned, used for cooling at the data centers, and returned to the river via the waste water system.

The only loss is the energy/resources to treat the water.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much, unfortunately.

Nobody wants to talk about all the wind energy used to run these data centers either, because that won’t generate any outrage.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Not really. At least not in the sense that it’s a net loss of water downstream.

It’s not like irrigation or bottling, where water is entirely removed from the system and not returned.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

If you want to talk about water treatment capacity, then sure. Treatment capacity is used for cooling.

That’s not what I’m talking about though. I’m talking about the mass of water being consumed (i.e., removed) from the watershed. The water removed from the river for cooling is returned. There is no net loss of water.

You’re absolutely right.

Collectively we vote for the representation we deserve.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

I disagree. Fundamentally we have the final authority to elect our representation. Collectively we decide (and are ultimately responsible for) who is elected to office. Districts don’t vote, and corporations don’t vote. The people do.

It is the collective responsibility of those not disenfranchised or otherwise excluded from the political system to rectify those problems. Failing to address those problems (or any political problem) isn’t a failure of the politicians–it’s a failure of us, as a collective, to choose the appropriate lawmakers. Especially when we repeatedly elect the same people over and over.

I know it sounds naive to frame the system this way. But fundamentally the political system operates under the collective authority of voters.

What do you think should be the criteria to be included in “a more fitting class of people?”

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Depleted uranium munitions aren’t just a risk to Russians. They’re a significant heath risk to everyone where they’re used–Russian soldiers, Ukranian soldiers, and civilians.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

I’m simply stating depleted uranium munitions have health risks for everyone in response to the comment above me seemingly implying they’re only a risk to Russians.

An argument against this regulation from the article if anyone is curious:

such regulations favor big businesses because they create a barrier to new companies coming into the market and that even if these regulations didn’t exist, companies would still keep security measures in place out of self-interest.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty crazy that even Reversi is included for that low, low price.

Indignity of receiving child support? Are you kidding?

We’re talking about a child/children’s parent being killed, and you think it’s somehow unjust that they’re receiving the smallest amount of financial restitution from the person who killed them. I’d love to hear you explain how this is somehow stupid or insulting to a single parent and the surviving children.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

You’re completely right. People just want to keep their blinders on and hate on this because it’s Texas. They don’t want to think critically and acknowledge a state that often does the wrong thing can also do the right thing.

I guarantee there wouldn’t be as many critical comments if this were New York or California.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, you’re right. It’s just disheartening how many people view this as a bad thing even though it’s clearly a step in the right direction.

I’m sure the people that are against this are much more likely to voice their opinions than those that support it.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

I am not going to oppose anything that gets more support to single parents and children who lose a parent.

Being opposed to this because of what it’s called is a ridiculously short sighted view to take. I don’t care what this is called, but it is not gross, and it is not stupid.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

I couldn’t agree more. It is a excellent overview of whaling. I highly recommend the series to anyone who feels strongly about whales.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Not to mention the fact all the tolerances should have been determined before mass production began. You determine the dimensional requirements and develop the manufacturing process to deliver that.

There is absolutely no way they have the systems and tools in place to properly measure every part with sub 10-micron accuracy and precision either. To control those dimensions you need to go a whole additional order of magnitude out. I pity the fool that has to manage that control plan.

I love how RDJ really doesn’t break character until the commentary is over!

I hope so too! Fallout is my favorite world/universe in video games. Even though it was HBO The Last of Us gives me hope for this.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Not a fan of the last few games?

76 was a bit different, but I still liked it overall once the bugs were worked out. I thought FO4 was decent too, even though I wasn’t all that interested in the base-building component.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

Plus the first two Fallout games took place in SoCal.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

It’s just a matter of opinion I suppose.

With all the changes they made post launch I really think the game got a lot better. They ended up updating it to be much more like a trypical Fallout game. I enjoyed it more than FO4 in some ways.

The story wasn’t as good as NV or FO3, but the mechanics, world/envoronment, and new mutants were all great IMO.

bhmnscmm,
@bhmnscmm@lemmy.world avatar

It really turned itself around after launch. I’d give it a try next time it goes on sale.
