Not OP but searched up EE’s video on a topic like this. Been a long while since I watched it so I don’t remember much about it in description is the sources. So at the very least you can check some of that type of stuff.

But yeah in general an ICE is horrendous at efficiency vs electric. An ICE blows some 70+% of its energy on making heat we don’t use but instead actively use some of the available energy made to cool it.

People want to trust it as a source of quick knowledge. It is easier to be told 9 goes into 81 a total of 8 times trusting that the computer is always right, because it had access to everything, than to work out the answer given was wrong and is actually 9.

Think of WebMD. People love to self diagnose despite it commonly being known as a bad practice. But they do so because they can do it with less effort, faster, and cheaper than making an appointment to drive to an office so you can speak with a doctor that runs a few tests and gets back to you in a week saying they aren’t sure and need to do that process all over again.

Week by week it becomes more and more enticing. Most creators I watch are on it as well so I wouldn’t really lose much.

Have always loved dark chocolate. As I got older I liked the darker stuff more. 85-90%. (Fyi 100% is no good. Lol.) Milk chocolate has always been a no for me. Best I can do is tolerate it if the flavor is mostly masked by whatever it is encasing.

Yeah I think some of the issue here is games likely just cheat math to get an answer then remove said cheat once the math works how they want again.

So something like K:D if D=0 then D is 1. Beyond that they can release the rule and let it work normally.

Otherwise to get the stat before someone has died it would have to briefly run on a kill per life. I think…

I’ve had it get stuck in my teath before. A second string of floss seemed unable to find the right spot to go between the teeth to attempt to clear it. A trip to the garage to get some needle nose pliers did the trick.

If you build it they will come.

Some better, some worse

I’ll give that a go. Figured it just wasn’t possible unless it has a button for it. Thanks for the tip.

I open it to prevent the beeping. I’d press stop but that beeps too.

Agreed. Not sure if there is a fair and easy way for the whole “instance” user distribution but the current set up isn’t straight forward. Not to say it was difficult but my experience with it was an immediate thought of this barrier of entry is too steep. It’s unlike what most anyone has likely ever encountered. (at least knowingly.)

Like mapping a network drive. Is it an actually difficult task? No. Can any significant portion of the general population identify what I just stated? Probably no. Sure a small percent may go on to Google that and figure it out. But in general I find it bad practice to ask that of them.

Would it be reasonable if some algorithm handled that aspect and just default assigned people based on location, maybe a couple quick questions of their interests, and the hosts willing capacity increase rate? Plus some other factors I didn’t think of. In some text could also say you can choose from a list of instances if you so choose or just leave it as is.

The only mega thread I think I ever liked and interacted with was Bloons TD 6. But that was also updated to a new thread each day so it didn’t become a stale no man’s land where comments went to die. (It was for submission of strategy/solution to daily challenges in the game. Some light competition in it too for most unique or efficient set ups.)

Other uses, but infrequent, were around major sales holidays. Subs like headphones or audiophile would make a mega thread for all the sales going on.

But I always felt the vast majority of them just weren’t managed or interacted with enough to make them of use and often I’d see people say things like “you should ask that in the mega thread” and then the reply of “I did and no one replied” type stuff.

As a kid my state didn’t permit or sell projectile type fireworks to the public. Just fountain, snakes, sparklers, etc. But that didn’t stop us, or anyone, from just driving into the next state over to get the good stuff then come on back to where they were illegal to fire them off.

Some places, despite any potential law, don’t care one way or another. Where I grew up no one cared so long as you didn’t cause a fire. That was rural though. In general those areas operate differently.

Where I live now is a suburb. I could get away with doing some fireworks on a non-holiday but doing too much of a display or too frequently and I would likely run into issues. Though doesn’t stop some people.
