Elite Dangerous suffers from too many places. The entire galaxy feels like white noise. Exploration is just an RNG. Everything else, it doesn’t really matter where you are playing, because you could be playing in hundreds or thousands of other places for functionally identical gameplay. There isn’t any story reason to…

Until you’ve built a complex holographic system on a private island, I’m not gonna waste my time with this.

ASICs are more efficient at hashing than a GPU. This means that they will cost less electricity and generate less heat than an equal amount of work with a GPU. If you are using an ASIC mining operation, it will require LESS cooling and LESS energy than a comparable operation mining with GPUs.

Window ACs aren’t designed to operate below the minimum Thermostat value. The thermostat isn’t the limiting factor. It is the operational characteristics of the AC. If the AC coils get too cold, then you can get moisture freezing on the coils, blocking air flow, causing the coils to get even colder, and freezing even…

It is important to note that if you buy an Air conditioner that is too big for the room you’re in, it will cost much more electricity to run than one which is too small.

You’ve activated my Trap Card!

Except the part where people on foot have guns that do more damage than some ship mounted weapons. And the people have shields as strong some small ships... and you can’t target people in your ship... and touching a person in a moving ship causes them to die immediately... and you can literally punch a ship to death.

The FPS isn’t integrated into the rest of the game. It is basically a separate game that uses the same maps.

I don’t understand how your example demonstrates a gap in our technical capabilities... It is a business practice that banking transactions be processed during business hours, because actual human beings screen those transactions for fraud. It is a trade-off which is made to secure a transaction.

You see... you say this, but I still disagree.

Sorry. I should have rephrased. It does not get consumed.

I don’t think you could ever “invest” in crypto... Do you call it investing when you buy into a ponzi scheme?

Crypto isn’t a commodity. It is not consumed. It is simply bought and sold.

This is a basted egg, not a fried egg.

My convection oven has an “Air Fry” setting. The fan runs more than it does in convection.

Apply the same logic to a game that actually has loot boxes.

How soon before we need to start “unbundling” streaming services?

I’m scared of needles. I take my son when we get our shots. I tell the pharmacist that I’m scared of needles, and they tells me it’s gonna be ok and that it won’t be bad. I get my shot. Then, my son gets his, after seeing that I was scared of needles, and that I still got the shot even though I was scared, and that it…
