This post is from 2018. I wonder if we learned anything more about this furry friend.
We’ve had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would’ve helped lower prices a bit.
I have that and also MC:LA for the PS3. I recently learned that Rockstar never officially ported MC:LA to the PC so the only official ways to play it are on the PS3 and 360. And sadly RPCS3 still needs more optimization before it’s playable. I get about 15-30 fps whenever I try it.
I’m a 3 monitor person as well. 34" ultrawide as my main with two 24" widescreens side-to-side immediately above it. I use it for work and personal use.
Ultrawide has my main programs for work: internet browsers and job specific programs get about 60% of the real estate on the left, while pdf’s, and other less essential programs go to the right 40% of the screen.
The top left monitor gets Teams, Excel docs, or auxiliary browsers.
Top right gets email and media (YouTube, Spotify, etc) or any overfill if I’m dealing with a particularly cluttered job.
For personal, ultrawide is obviously used for games, movies, etc, while top left has task manager, MSI Afterburner, and Throttlestop (I run a laptop). And the top right has Discord.
I feel this would fit better under either Bone Hurting Juice or Speed of Lobsters. Idk if we have any communities like that here yet.
I remember reading about them. Those could be a game changer if we can scale them up. I’d use them as a fence if it’s feasible.
Ooh, I hadn’t considered these. So it may actually be more impactful than I thought.
The hard part about dropping solar installation costs is the installation part itself. It doesn’t matter how cheap the panels get, it’s always going to a few, to several, thousand dollars for the installation part alone. If we could find a way to streamline that (Idk if that’s possible), then I think we’d see prices plummet.
Don’t get me wrong, dropping panel prices is a very good thing. But I don’t think it will make as much of a dent in the price as we might think.
Those gears aren’t gonna turn.
I haven’t looked into the details myself since I got lucky with my used Switch. But, yeah, it should still be possible.
Alas, the only easily hackable Switch’s were made until about a year after release. To hack modern ones requires a special mod chip that isn’t easily soldered on.
Nintendo unfortunately did a good job on hack proofing the Switch.
I’m not necessarily looking for a magic bullet solution. It’s more this is not really a solution at all. All it is, is just treating a symptom. And rather poorly at that.
Also, even if we did move forward with this, how are we going to increase the reflectivity? And where? The only viable option is to paint roofs white since it can significantly reduce cooling costs in the summer. But outside of that, there’s no realistic option.
There is also the fact that trying to reflect the light back into space means reflecting it through the atmosphere a second time, giving it a second opportunity to heat it even further.
And a giant space mirror is not practical either. The resources that would go towards that could have easily gone towards more effective solutions on the ground.
Significantly more effective solutions would be to reduce our reliance on cars in western countries (simply switching to EV’s is not enough); switch to greener power sources like wind, solar, and nuclear; redesigning our products to last longer and to be more repairable; etc.
If you want something a bit more direct to donate to and support, you could check out environmental programs. I, myself, donate to Mossy Earth. They focus on rewilding and re-establishing ecosystems throughout the world. They also have a Youtube channel where they post about their projects along with updates. If Mossy Earth isn’t your thing, I know there are many other groups out there with like-minded goals. Find those groups and support/join them if you can.
This doesn’t solve all the problems caused by high CO2 levels.
One example is the acidification of the oceans. Higher CO2 concentrations in the air leads to the oceans absorbing more of it, which then gets turned into carbonic acid, which is not fun for marine life.
Reflecting light is not going to solve that.
That’s what I remember reading, too. I think that particular area gets its own lymph node system or something like that. Similar to how our head and neck have their own dedicated system.
Those areas are prone to bacteria, so they get beefed up protections.
Because our education has been failing everyone for decades.
That I’m not sure. I personally haven’t noticed any difference between the emulated one and a “real” BIOS, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. In theory they should all work the same regardless of their version, but I don’t know that.
While everything you said is valid (and I may or may not have done that), I legitimately enjoy the ripping process.
I actually did manage to rip it, but I was taking a big risk doing that. I’m not using that disc anymore after that.
I believe it. I have a copy of the original Rayman on the PS1. Its scratches aren’t anywhere near as bad as others I have, but for some reason neither of my drives (DVD and Blu-Ray) could read it. I think it simply degraded enough over time that it’s no longer readable. :(
There was a video he did on a startup taxi service using self driving cars. Basically the entire thing was an advertisement for that company.
Then another Youtuber, Tom Nicholas, released a video about that a few months later and how it’s an issue. I’ll have to watch it again as I don’t remember what he specifically talks about.
