THPS 1+2 (the HD remake) is excellent but they decided not to do a THPS3+4 remake. Presumably due to low numbers. BUT online is broken. What I mean by broken is that you basically can’t log in to the server if your console is connected to the internet through a router. As far as I know Activision never acknowledged that failure. Do you think this problem might have hurt sales/microtransaction revenue?
Yeah true, but I think they actually use wavelength of red shift, which is distance… traveled by light in the time it takes to make a full cycle. So I guess we’re back to seconds again.
I think they use this for distance and time because at scales being dealt with they have the same implications.
I think you need to be more specific than ‘long distance’, yes they use parsecs for ‘long distances’ but I believe only for intra-galactic objects. I think other galaxies are too distant for parallax seconds to be useful.
Don’t they measure distance and time by redshift (ie colour)
Women are not allowed to choose what they wear and they are probably looking for revenue streams and the pendulum is swinging away from religious tolerance.
Jeezus!
Is there a way to set up patreon for any ad free website I browse?
Could my browser have some sort of cryptographically signed cookie that would let ad-free websites deduct 1-5 cents from my browsing account?
Website could check for the cookie before loading the ads?
Has this been tried?
Is that what we call Beaver Belly in Canada? (from drinking contaminated water?)
Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?
Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.
As a person that actually torrented a Linux iso on Friday, thank you! Lol
Ha guess why I’m on lemmy right now.
Everybody should also know that the Communist Manifesto is different from Marx’s magnum opus Capital.
I live near a school playground in Vancouver. In the summer the kids don’t use it because it’s too hot and sunny. In the winter kids don’t use it because it’s wet.
I feel like a solar panel canopy would be 3 birds with one stone.
Nothing, wrong with assuming someone likes the band who’s shirt they’re wearing.
What’s nasty is assuming that they don’t, (because of how they look) and demanding they prove their fan credentials.
Gatekeeping isn’t inherently misogynistic or conformist, but the motivations in cases like this probably are.
I also don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask people not to publicly associate themselves with a thing if they know nothing at all about that thing.
Nobody owes anyone an explanation of how entitled they are to wear a band’s t-shirt.
I’ve listened to enough iron maiden to know that I like the band, but could only name one song off the top of my head. Do I have your permission to wear their t-shirt?
You’re channeling the same energy as someone that feels entitled to know about a stranger’s genitals if their bone structure seems misaligned with the gender they’re presenting.
It’s so easy to not be an asshole watch this:
Slayer fan:
Iron maiden! Nice! I saw them play at XXXX back in XXXX. It was a wicked show.
Iron maiden fan:
Oh wow, that sounds so fun! I’ve just learned about them, but I’d love to see them in concert someday. The metal community is so welcoming!
Or:
Oh wow. I don’t really listen to them, but they were my cousin’s favorite band, she died recently, so I wear this shirt when I’m missing her.
Or:
Oh wow, I was at that show too!
Or:
my uncle is the drummer and is always giving me these
Or:
Uh huh? I just like the colours of the shirt.
Life is so much better if you don’t make nasty assumptions.
Maybe it’s that the land is on top of the water mountain/ plateau? And as the ships sail away they descend from the plateau? Maybe it’s the gravity of the land that causes the water to bunch up near the land? Maybe the earth is actually spherical? Wait no not that last one…
She doesn’t owe him anything.
It’s basically accusing her of cultural appropriation, just for wearing a t-shirt she likes.
The question implies skepticism that she is an authentic fan. It’s a form of gatekeeping, based in misogyny and rigid social conformity.
Even if she doesn’t really know iron maiden’s music, so what? It’s perfectly reasonable to choose your shirts based on styles and colours you like. I wore a Popeye the sailor t-shirt yesterday, I would not be prepared to talk about my favorite episodes.
Religion is deliberately non-falsifiable.
I think it would be more accurate to say that the non-falsifiablity of religion has evolved as a result of a sort of natural selection. Essentially all the falsifiable religious beliefs have been falsified, and thus have trouble propagating.
I understand your anger and agree that anti-vaxxers are stupid. I believe public health education should be part of the school system.
I also agree that it’s responsible for a society to impose reasonable restrictions on members that endanger it.
I think people do have an ethical obligation to take reasonable precautions avoid potentially exposing others to pathogens. Vaccination is an example of reasonable precaution. People have the right to bodily autonomy, do not vaccinate them against their wishes.
I do not support the firing of workers for refusing vaccinations if they can do their job remotely. People shouldn’t have to decide between their religious beliefs and employment if their employment doesn’t bring them into contact with others. (Imo anti-vaxx is essentially a religion, this may say more about my beliefs regarding religion than about anti-vaxx sentiment).
By all means exclude the unvaccinated from places where they can be reasonably understood to endanger the public, or others that have a similar right to be there.
I have yet to see an electric vehicle fire, even on the news.
100% and you know the first time it happens is going to be super covered too because of the potential for “controversy”.
in bc we have two tier pricing, the first X kilowatthours per month is I think 0.08CAD (~0.05USD), the second is 0.15CAD (~0.11USD)
Our power mostly comes from hydroelectric dams, but we wheel and deal it interprovincially so within the course of a day we’ll spend some time importing and some time exporting which gives us lower rates, and lets other places run more efficiently (ie Fewer gas turbines)
