What drew you to the high seas?
  • Wanted a game, back then wasn't available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would've convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.

  • Family photo
  • I understand removing numpads for people who don't enter a lot of numbers since you have a second set, but removing things beyond that, I don't know, I don't get it. I don't even think I can give up my function row (f1-f12)

  • Self regulation "working" as intended
  • Boycott? Man people are shit. Number of people that I know who cannot go without meat for a single meal is way too high. I study in a masters course about sustainability, out of 52, 41 eat beef (arguable the worst kind of meat for environment) more than 3 times a week. Some of those 41 are hardcore environmental activist and go to protests and demonstrations. Hypocrisy is real. They're willing to give up car, but not meat. It boggles my mind.

  • Video Game Piracy Is Good, Actually
  • At least for games, I check how big is the dev team, anything bigger than 30 then pirate Then I check if owner of the development studio is public company, if yes then pirate Then I check if owner owns more than one development studio, if yes then pirate Then I check how many games studio has released, if more than 10, pirate Then I check how many copies have been sold on steam, more than 1m, pirate

    If a game dev team fails all above checks, I will still pirate first, but if i enjoy pirated copy, I'll buy the game to support the dev.

  • Temperatur
  • They got Canada right, then I thought c degrees is a joke because australia inverted or something, but then American is also c degrees, so I'm thinking OP of the meme also needs some more clarity.

  • As famine looms in Sudan, the hungry eat soil and leaves
  • It's not Palestine. No one cares /s

    To be honest it always bothers me that civil wars have been raging in one or the other African country throughout last century, genocide, ethno-state, famine etc have been raging almost all the time.

    It's never been interesting enough for most media in east or in the west. Heck even some media in Africa doesn't care either. Some human rights groups care, but their funding is limited, and no one questions who is supplying weapons to African genocide propogators and I used to think it's all Russian or Russian copied Chinese weapons, but last year when I was looking at things in depth, they also have NATO weapons, but I couldn't find how they got it.

  • The apocalypse is coming. Maybe not to tomorrow, maybe never, but its coming.
  • I'll out original just in case

    October 12, 1985

    Dog carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on burst stomach.

    The city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face.

    The streets are extended gutters....... and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over.. all the vermin will drown.

    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper... "No"

  • Is it possible to safely torrent without a VPN?
  • To answer your question in short , is it safely possible? No.

    From your replies it seems your ISP is active against piracy. If budget is tight I recommend, use seedr.cc it gives you 2gb free and it torrents on your behalf, so you're legally safe. Also you can extend seedr.cc to 4gb as WELL without paying. Dm me if you want to know how.

    I know it's not enough for big games and stuff, but most TV shows and movies you can find decent 1080p rips within that.

    Anything else will require some investment/cost.

  • G7 countries agree to shut all their coal power plants within the next 10 years
  • Further digging down now, I think you have a point, UK quotes Natural gas that's uncompressed, LNG will add more on those factors. So howarth LNG assessment probably makes more sense here.

    However couple of things that bother me

    1. Study compares domestic coal and shipped LNG, not sure how reasonable that comparison is
    2. Japan is not pushing more capital on LNG, their stupidity is jumping directly to hydrogen/ammonia based economy

    Also I am not advocating for starting new LNG based plants, any new investment should be towards renewables. But if there is flexibility of shifting loads between existing plants, one should prefer LNG over coal.

  • G7 countries agree to shut all their coal power plants within the next 10 years
  • We still need to get rid of all fossil fuels, but LNG is significantly better than coal almost 40% better and that includes life cycle emissions so it includes sea shipping.

    Image attached is UK based and assuming sea shipping to Japan is probably higher than this but it's not like Japan produces its own coal, so it's gonna be sea shipping for both of them, so differential wouldn't change that much you can still expect at least 35% savings on emissions.

    So I would argue ultimate goal should be complete phase out of carbon emissions for sure, but LNG is significantly better than coal.
