If we’re talking gameplay, the biggest change was the removal of turn-based combat and the extremely poor implementation of skill/speech checks.

On one hand, I’m guessing they’re just talking about the game, not life.

On the other hand, you have made me realize just how much life is like a souls game; endless challenges made arbitrarily hard for the benefit of the few, and the only advice anybody ever gives you is “get gud” and expect to fail for most of it.

However, concrete poles last longer.

I don’t need to look it up. I was involved in underground electric for 30 years. Horizontal boring is very common.  Ever try trenching across a road, under a RR track, across a river, through a city, etc?

Of we could just bury the fucking lines like the rest of the modern world has been doing for about 70 years. Hell, NYC doesn’t have poles outside of old Queens neighborhoods. Everything is underground. 

We could do away with poles altogether?

For those in other countries, that’s 3.78 Liters of electricity

I’m no expert metrologist, but what the heck is a gallon of electricity?

Either he really is that dense... or he’s an oil industry shill for one reason or another. 

You really are that dense? 

Chargers have been exposed as having generators, not being powered by them. I’ve installed a bunch of gas/diesel backup generators at primarily electric sites so they can do just that, act as a backup if the power goes down. It would take a rather large & loud generator to charge multiple cars all the time, so it…

Yes, but have you factored in the distributed skin cancer costs across humanity that we all pay as the price for your personal fusion reactor blanketing the entire planet in radiation? Eh?

BURN DINOSAURS FOR MURRICA

Ah yes, reminds of the famous Horse Traders Association report of 1908 that said that we should not produce models T’s because they use the equivalent of 28 bales of hay per mile. I mean, when you factor in the cost of building a network of gas stations..... that didn’t exist.

Yeah, it’s particularly amusing that they had to say something about subsidies.

If I ever get to the point that I need to prostitute myself (i.e. screw others for money) as much as the authors of this report apparently need do, it’s time to exit this world.

Doing what you can, and not doing what you can’t, isn’t hypocritical. Like, I think we should be doing much more to end the genocide being carried out by Ethiopia in Tigray, because we can, but there’s much less we can do about Xinjiang (though I believe companies should have to choose between operating in Xinjiang…

So... a “hacker” stole worthless, but expensive, virtual pointers to freely available JPEGs...

What a great world we have built!

You misspelt useless. And useful too for that matter.

This is why I keep all of my Apes in the forests and jungles where they belong, rather than on the block chain where they will not be safe.

Can we change “worth” to “originally paid for by idiots”? I think that’s more appropriate.
