Wait isn’t that basically how it works in Stardew Valley too?

If you only put distilled water in it it really doesn’t seem like an issue

We already do this at every steam based power plant in the world (basically everything but hydro, PV, and wind) and it’s done much more efficiently. Doing this stuff with tiny gadgets on micro generators like ICE vehicles is a pretty inefficient implementation, especially as it adds weight to already heavy vehicles, decreasing efficiency and safety, and increasing tire and brake wear. The only place I can imagine this being useful is very heavy vehicles that for some reason still have to be using diesel like long haul trucks/busses, diesel freight trains etc and the like. And EVEN then you’re looking at major issues with economy. If you increase the weight of a truck by 2 percent to give it a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, you are hurting not helping. 2% comes off of your GCVWR margins and suddenly you need 51 trucks instead of 50 trucks to transport a given load, not only increasing your fuel use by 2% but also increasing vehicle maintenance and tire and brake pollution by 2%

Edit: I’m not saying relatively miniaturized energy recovery systems don’t have a future, but I’m dubious it’s in transport or handheld devices. At least for the foreseeable future. Infrastructure scale however has always been a major application for energy recovery development, stirling engine, steam turrbine and TE development keeps getting further pushed to eek efficiency out of power stations, power plants, substations, emergency generators, maybe even HVAC systems and other building scale applications.

Not surprising at all, puberty is when the weird behaviour really gets into gear, hormones make you painfully awkward.

That seems pretty typical kinda unfortunate kid blunder years behaviour. If deep down they’re a good person they will hopefully figure out this isn’t a good way to get attention and look back and cringe, but there’s a risk this’ll lead to inceldom.

Most likely they are lonely and are blundering their way through trying to find a way to not be lonely

Is Betteridges Law dead?

The SSN is supposed to just be a number that you give your employers and the IRS so that your social security (the USs blanket retirement savings/pension system) contributions get logged correctly to you and then when you retire you can use that number to get the social security benefits that you paid into. The number has ended up being used for all sorts of things because the USA is slightly broken because it is SORT OF a unique ID number for each US citizen, except of course that it wasn’t intended to be that, SSNs are only supposed to be used from first social security contribution (first paycheck) to last social security payout (death) so naturally they can just be recycled.

Exactly, it’s performing the job of an artist filling in the missing frames based on the pictures available and based on film of other volcanoes erupting.

Elon gonna start sueing the EU for not buying his cars

Source that research was banned since the 90s? All I’m aware of is that they aren’t available commercially and sale and field testing of terminator seeds has been banned since the 00s.

Like, why though, it seems like the main reason it failed is because very few people care about Dragon Age, why not have a well loved developer make something people are excited about?

The reason people do it is poor impulse control for the dopamine hit from buying something they want. I’m pretty sure anyone claiming another reason isn’t being honest with themselves or others.

So to answer what I assume is going to be the most common question here, this is a circuit diagram, but every neuron is like its own little programmable integrated circuit with a small amount of internal memory and those aren’t mapped here. So this is an excellent model to explore how neurons connect to each other and get insight into cognition and the function of the brain but it is far from something that can simply be simulated on a computer.

No, it’s not. This is only true if every arrangement of matter is equally likely to come into being randomly. The multiverse is not an infinite non repeating randomized collection. Every possibility is not necessarily present and every possibility is certainly not equally likely. Life emerging evolutionarily through relatively very simple processes in areas where the right amount of usable energy exists and the right amount of certain elements exist in the right forms is relatively very likely and possible. A random assortment of cold stellar gasses or just pure energy self assembling through quantum bullshit into a false consciousness with complex logic and memories and the ability to experiment and test its reality in logical ways is pie in the sky nonsense in likeliness. Airplanes appearing out of nothing and people falling through the Earth because “the atoms just happened to arrange themselves just right” are neat things to argue are technically not impossible in our current predictive mathematical models of the universe. They are not things we have any real evidence are possible and real phenomena on a macro scale.

No, it’s the snark of the headline and the general culture of gaming communities towards developers.

That can’t be right 1905 is just about 100 years ago…

Yeah, I suspect it’s the gaming “journalists” mostly in this case trying to stir up shit.

How bout y’all let him do whatever the fuck he wants and work on what he feels passionate about, it seems to have worked out well for us last time, and even if it doesn’t this time, we’re not entitled to shit from him.

Gamers are so fucking toxic that they will get enraged and call out a solo developer for saying they’ll probably never fully abandon their beloved first game because that clearly means he won’t work hard enough on making them their new game which they’ve literally never played before.

Beautiful enough that it distracts from the shoes lol, but seriously you did great, do they come in extended sizing?
