Anon questions our energy sector
  • Imagine this (not so) hypothetical scenario:

    Yellowstone or another supervolcano erupts and leads to a few years of volcanic winter, where there is much less sunshine. This has historical precedent, it has happened before, and while in and of itself it will impact a lot of people regardless of anything else, wouldn't you agree it would be better to have at least some nuclear power capacity instead of relying solely on renewables?

    Sure, such a scenario is not probable, but it pays to stay safe in the case of one such event. I would say having most of our power from renewables would be best, having it supported by 10-20% or so nuclear with the possibility of increase in times of need would make our electric grids super resilient to stuff

  • If Order 66 never happened, do you think Ahsoka would have started a family?
  • Spoilers for the Clone Wars

    She left the Jedi Order during the events of the show due to being framed for a bombing and the Council ditching her. Anakin helps clear her name, but Ahsoka leaves the Order anyway due to being unable to trust in them anymore.

    She later gets back in contact with the jedi but although she works with them, they do not welcome her back, with Mace even disdainfully calling her "Citizen Tano"

  • And you will never catch up as Bezos make 8,000,000 per hour
  • He'd still have a lot of property to his name, a lot of other assets and stuff that aren't tied to an arbitrary stock market. Even if you crash it, mansions and luxury cars would still be very valuable. He will never not be a billionaire due to that.

    That is, unless you redistribute his wealth. Then yeah, he wouldn't be filthy rich anymore.

  • Are the straights okay rule
  • Depends on the part of the world you live in. I'm that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I'm not even in a long-time relationship yet.

    I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn't married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

    You wouldn't believe this is happening in the EU, right?

  • What song from your country should be heard by more people?

    There are so many great song in my mother tongue that virtually nobody aside from the relatively few speakers could realistically even come into contact with. I'm certain all of you non-English speakers here can relate! I linked one of my favourite songs, what are yours?

    Legacy: Life among the Ruins 2e

    Hey y'all! I've been thinking about starting a group of Legacy. For those who don't know, the system is a Powered by the Apocalypse game set in a Post-Apocalyptic setting of any kind (I was thinking a zombie apocalypse) where the players take control of factions. You shepherd your community through the ages and you also take control of significant characters from them to solve various threats to your community. You take decisions at both the faction and personal level, and you both cooperate and compete with the other players for resources.

    My timezone is EEST. If you're interested, leave a comment or a DM and I'll be in touch!

    Any TTRPG focused public tracker?

    In the old days of a few years ago, I used The Trove to find all I needed. Is there any replacement? I'm specifically looking for niche ttrpgs.

    Can anyone recommend me a Pokemon Fangame?

    Preferably one that's not a rom hack, though I dig those too. I'm looking for something a bit harder than the originals and maybe a bit more mature, but still fair and whimsical. I'd like a game with pokemon from as many gens as possible, and fakemons are fine too.

    Meet Parmesan. This weirdo likes to sit in the sink when I go to the toilet.

    She also has a little plush fish that she always brings to me for safekeeping!
