Sure, but there are data centers in more than just the US doing the same thing.

A lot of them are already “off the grid” in a sense, but they usually set up their own fossil fuel plants instead of renewables.

Honestly we just need legislation to start phasing out fossil fuels.

and a method of resource collection to get material to reprint itself.

That would probably be the hardest part. How do you take a rocket and have it be able to collect resources while on the move? Microscopic space dust probably wouldn’t be enough because it would be a mixture of random stuff. Anywhere with larger debris would likely destroy the thing immediately, and it can’t just land on a planet to take a break and build because there’s no guarantee it’d get fuel again to achieve escape velocity.

Maybe it could cling to an asteroid for a while, but even then there’s no guarantee that it would have the correct composition of materials needed to produce a copy. Not to mention just the difficulty of having to set up some sort of inbuilt foundry system that can make workable components out of raw materials without knowing what conditions you will even have.

On top of all that, you run into a potential issue similar to compression algorithms. If it can’t perfectly reproduce itself, it will end up with copies that are less and less capable of producing adequate copies themselves.

It’s the only part of me with an advanced degree. The rest is garbage.

Same. I feel like I need something else to look forward to just to keep me going. And it unfortunately ain’t Kingdom Hearts 4.

Well nobody else wants my underpaid but overeducated ass.

Law of Manifestation for mathematicians

1. Prove that you really want what you desire by thinking about it for 1 unit of time. If you feel emotional or at peace, you’ve proven it.

2. Assume it is true (and you have it) at moment a (Now)

3. Check that it is true at moment a+1 (the next moment)

4. If true, we are finished (Enjoy)

5. If not, a=a+1 and return to step 2.

Sounds like it’s time for a road trip. If not Slovakia, are they available anywhere in Austria, Czechia, or Poland?

Essentially (assuming that project moves forward) but the shinkansen lines in Japan have higher speeds than that.

They are in New Zealand, where the problem is worse than in Australia. New Zealand has zero native land predators. There are some birds of prey that can hunt invasive stoats and rats, but cats are effectively uncontested (with the exception of humans performing population control).

the British spelling maintains the “ium” suffix as with many other elements in the periodic table.

Lanthanum, molybdenum, platinum. It could be said aluminum follows the “-num” suffix used by other elements on the periodic table.

The British spelling, which is the same in many other countries and widely accepted as the correct spelling, predates the American spelling.

The British spelling was originally alumium, as written by Sir Humphry Davy. But this didn’t comply with the naming standard of alumina as its oxide. To include the n, he started writing it as aluminum, before the third spelling aluminium entered popular use in academic circles.

There’s something in the water then, got it.

Aluminum came first, for what it’s worth. British publications just added the extra i because they thought it sounded fancier.

US has more regions with warm climates that birds live in year round. A lot of bird species only live in Canada half the year and then migrate south for winter.

Same with Oreos. “Double Stuff” is what the regular ones used to have.

Canada could also benefit from a shinkansen line or two. With population centers mostly along a straight line in the south, it would allow for rapid transit between major cities on dedicated passenger rail.

FYI this is the same trailer released a month ago, not a brand new one.

There was also a previous trend of posting jeans in response to beans, so this current trend is riding the -eans train.

Seconded. Oblivion even added horses to make terrestrial exploration faster, why not use them?

But an edge that Morrowind has over Oblivion (and Skyrim) is that it has so many more small settlements dotted around the map that act as travel nodes. Skyrim at least added cart travel between cities, but we’re talking less than 10 travel nodes compared to over twice that many in Morrowind (not even counting the Propylon network).

I think the characters are relatively average sized for a human. The planks are maybe just wide. Some floors are like that.
