  • TIL: About Dyson Sphere. A hypothetical megastructure we would put around a star to absorb the energy being sent in space

  • it's basically factorio, but it allows 3D belt placement and interplanetary/interstellar transports!

    it's excellent!

  • how surprising! /s

    but seriously, it's almost never one (1) thing that goes wrong when some idiotic mandate gets handed down from management.

    a manager that mandates use of copilot (or any tool unfit for any given job), that's a manager that's going to mandate a bunch of other nonsensical shit that gets in the way of work. every time.

  • eh, I don't think that's gonna make much of a difference:

    most of the cost is probably lost revenue from the stopped flow, not the pump itself!

    that said you're almost at the ideal target already!

    it's best to sabotage the nexus point nearest the pipeline source: that way you knock out the largest part of the network resulting in the most damage by disabling most of the network!

    tl;dr: knock out infrastructure as close to the source as possible, that isn't actually the source!

    (because sabotaging the source is a really, really bad idea, see: every oil spill ever)

    (and for fucks sake, don't do any of this in winter...people might freeze, if there's no time to come up with alternative energy sources...which is why late spring is the best time to blow up a pipeline! :D )

  • Astrology and homeopathy doesn’t even begin to fucking compare with nazism

    sooooo...ummmm...here's the craziest thing; hold on, you're not gonna believe this:

    the nazis were SUPER into astrology, homeopathy, and similar shit!

    nazi occultism is essential to nazi ideology, so not only are these concepts intimately intertwined, they form one of the pillars on which nazi iedology is built: "alternate science"

    "alterantive science", "aryan science", or whatever else it's called (it doesn't actually matter, all of it is the exact same shit: NOT science), is an important part of fascist power structures in that it serves as a vehicle to legitimize the crazy racist and supremacist shit they want to believe.

    phrenology, homeopathy, eugenics, and all the rest of the dogmatic bullshit played a major role in the 3rd reich by delegitimize the "jewish science".

    sound familiar? it should!

    the modern equivalent is "woke science", which, you know, is just regular science...

    so, no, nazi ideology doesn't "compare" to astrology and homeopathy: those are essential parts of nazism and the associated anti-intellectualism!

    (ExtraHistory has a recent video series on the topic of nazi occultism; it's on youtube and nebula, if you're interested to learn more!)

    Also, why do you call out astrology but not christianity?

    not sure how it would play out nowadays, especially in the U.S., but in the 3rd reich the church was a significant source of resistance against nazi rule.

    the reasons for that include the church having a vested interest in keeping some control over the population and it's own propaganda, but the vast majority of resistance came from individual clergy members refusing to bow to the cruelty of the nazis, and defending their communities.

    these priests resisted both directly and indirectly, rallied rebels, organized smuggling operations, provided meeting places, sheltered refugees, sabotaged, and generally made the jobs of the nazi oppressors that much harder.

    many, MANY clergy members were murdered by the nazis for their resistance, and quite a few officially received martyrdom status, and a few are regarded as national heroes for their efforts!

    so i'm an atheist, vehemently against the church and think that:

    • it's an institution of power and control over the poorly educated to keep them nice and distracted from the class struggle
    • think the tax exempt status of churches, with little to no oversight on how that tax-free income is spent, is bullshit
    • the priesthood serves as a shield for masses of sexual predators
    • the indoctrination of young and vulnerable minds that haven't had a chance to develop countermeasures to such influence is morally abhorrent
    • the church has, and in some cases continues to, committed heinous crimes against humanity

    ...but you chose the one period in history that actually makes it kinda clear what benefits the church does provide.

    like i said, i'm not a fan, and if it wasn't the church i'm fairly confident others would have stepped up and taken on similar roles of resistance, as many indeed did at the time, and yet this is one of the few instances in which the members of the clergy were quite clearly on the right side of history for once...possibly the only time.

    sooooo...yeah...unlucky example in this (very specific) context...

    there's a lot fascinating history around these two topics, highly recommend checking it out! ;)

  • is there a modern equivalent that describes "i function differently from NTs, but am generally able to live my life without special accomodations"?

    because i've been described as high functioning and never really thought much about it, but the nazi connection is...uncomfortable...

  • there's evidence of his views going waaay back, they just rarely reached the mainstream...and now it's just obvious, so there's a lot of people genuinely surprised because he used to at least thinly veil his awful views.

  • "a lot of people wanted to" doesn't matter on a corpo platform.

    but if a greedy little pig-boy wants something gone, THAT matters.

    Jump

  • because there are situations where you do have moves left, but the end in a repeating pattern; the more "classic" stalemate condition.

    there's just no "special" case for when you have no legal moves, thus it defaults to stalemate

    EA let the franchise rot for more than a decade, what does the release of the first have to do with anything??

  • yeah, i think it's cracked the 1000$ mark for all content. barely any discounts, and lots of content that REALLY should be in the base game is gated behind dlc.

    and i mean content that was available in previous games, that traditionally would have been in the new base game...

    pirating is basically the only realistic way to play all of the content now.

    and on top of that the game does have some pretty egregious performance and UX issues...
