The problem is not flying itself, it’s the lack of stimulus to make flying green. If governments would actually tax jet fuel, we probably would have figured out hydrogen based airplanes by now. We should stop blaming consumers for wanting to live a good and fulfilling live and start pressuring companies to do what is right. We have the tech, we just don’t have the right “incentive” for these companies.

This is also the case in The Netherlands. I live in a “city” with 15.000 residents, whilst there are “villages” with 100.000. Just because newer places(?) never got the ceremonial title of city.

Who says flexible batteries couldn’t be made replaceable? The might have to attach it differently than using glue, but other than that, I don’t see why it can’t be replaceable. Additionally, replaceable does not have to mean that you can just click open a back cover and pull it out. It could also mean that you have to remove x number of screws to remove it, which is still fine.

… proceeds with another yearly installment of game X that could have been released as DLC, but instead built it as “a new game”, selling at 1 cent per bug.

Thanks for the insight!

No clue, I’m a Dutch citizen. Do your require to do an iris scan to get a passport in the USA? Might be covered there.

Its been here for decades. It was already mandatory to provide an iris scan upon arrival in the US back when I visited New York in 2013. At the time, I was already baffled it was a requirement and wasn’t happy, but at that moment there is nothing else to do then comply. The US probably has a very big iris scan, fingerprint and passport database of at least the western world.

Every artificially created ingredient has a code, for instance here in Europe we have ingredients listed as E-numbers. These ingredients are often used to replace organical/natural ingredients. You will see that if you buy pasta sauce in the grocery store, they’ve probably added some E-numbers to make the color of the sauce more red. These ingredients are not necessary at all, these are either marketing instruments to make the food look more “tasty” or to replace a more expensive product with a replacement chemical. We don’t know the long-term effects of these artificially added ingredients yet, but what I do know is that I know more and more people with allergies related to these artificial ingredients.

Most countries don’t have free healthcare. But require people to be insured. E.g here in NL you have to have atleast basic coverage costing roughly 140 euro a month

It’s mainly because the titles are being released on pc anyway (with some delays)

2028 it is then.
I tried buying the PS5 when it released, and couldn’t get my hands on one for nearly a year. Then I saw the content lagging and decided not to buy the PS5. I still don’t see why I would want a PS5 today. I got a fairly decent PC, so that can carry me for another 5 years or so

Yeah same, pretty sure the Russian branch of our company is separated now. Perhaps it is mainly represented because contractual obligations couldn’t be broken as easily

The real marketing trick is making you believe it is a cookie, and not some mixture of weird chemicals and ingredients that can only be identified by a code.

It will be difficult to switch my friend groups again, now that they are finally on Signal

I don’t want it to turn into Telegram, just give me a lightweight, secure and privacy focused messaging app.

Yes, I’m Dutch, the average is indeed more like 6, and it was a joke. However, I’m 6,3” and if I go to a concert, I feel about average. I’m not towering above everyone else, like I do when I visit the south of Europe or Asia for example

6’2”? That’s pretty average here to be honest

Yeah indeed, was sitting next to a someone on the bus the other day, she was browsing social media (I’m not even sure which app), she had to stop every minute or so to watch an ad. Wasn’t even phased about it. It is in those moments that I think the NPC theory is real, but I doubt it can be

Yeah it is a good one, graphics are a bit dated, bur the game is super complete. I read some reviews of the newer games, but these appear to be repackaged mobile games, with the pay to play features stripped. The newer games also lCk management features that RT3 does have.

I bought Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for switch, just to he able to play a slow pace game while on holiday.
