People born before 2000 think older technology just evaporated the minute the millenium ticked over.

Tie them to the communications mast and give them thirty lashes with orions belt!

Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You’d might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.

Most cafes aren’t open at 3am when I get off a dreadful shift and just want to wolf something down before collapsing into bed for 10 hours.

Iterative development like that isn’t uncommon in engineering as a whole. Simulation can get you a long way but there’s a hard limit to that. You don’t think spacex designed a starship to use without running extensive simulations to try and figure it out before hand right?

Sometimes you need to test in the field just to find out what bits you missed. Structural engineers will simulate and calculate extensively but they’ll still build scale models and test pieces because it’s the most reliable and effective way to ensure you’re covering as many bases as possible.

Its not an either/or situation here. They’re doing the testing and simulation and applying it IRL to find out where things break.

Not at all! Nuclear is an excellent compliment to renewables and as a companion source to support the grid they are actually really effective. They’re also really useful in situations where renewables just aren’t an option such as large scale shipping. Obviously we haven’t seen any nuclear container ships yet but that’s mostly around startup and infrastructure costs as well as outdated regulations.

With small nuclear reactors becoming commonplace I wouldn’t be supprised if we start to see nuclear shipping becoming a thing in industry in the next 20-50 years.

Its already been proven as a reliable, safe, and effective power source in a naval context. The main hangup people seem to have is with accidents at sea, however again, the militaries of the world have already proven nuclear reactors safe in a number of accidents where a nuclear vessel has been lost and the reactors shut down safely and did not cause release of nuclear material.

Can’t wait! Cheap linux laptops are abound!

Bit melodramatic. Even the real artists that midjourney actually stole from don’t claim to have lost millions individually as a result.

I predict a riot…

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

Remember, there is: Life is meaningless and nobody cares :(

Not true. Nothing quite gets the point across quite like “shits fucked.”

Focus less on trying to stop them leaving and more on giving them good reasons to stay.

I know people who store valuable documents, items of devices in their ovens. Usually the reasoning is “if a burglar breaks in they wouldn’t think to check the oven for valuables”. Honestly, pretty stupid reasoning because I’d imagine any burglar worth their salt has heard that old chestnut and will probably place the oven fairly high on their checklist.

Drone racing applies particularly here!

Because the potential cost to them doesn’t out weigh the benefits (or potential costs) they get from adhering to the ICC regulations.

Sorry to be pedantic but its actually STEAM now that Arson is considered hot girl shit.

It’s not a scam, its an accessory. It’s not going to make your ram faster or make you better at gaming but no one is claiming it will. Sure, its definitely overpriced for what you get but you’re delusional if you don’t think every company is doing that, rgb or not.

At the end of the day, some people just like to play with colourful lights and its not like you’re being forced to pay for rgb you don’t want, you can just build without it and save some money.

I don’t really get the big deal about it. Personally I prefer a clean dark build without the flashy lights but again, that’s personal preference. I wouldn’t want to force anyone to give up something they like.
