Technically they don’t asymptotically go to zero. The minimum yield is the maximum of 20% or 20% of the original yield.

So at worst, an oil field will produce 2 oil/sec, which can still be bumped up by speed modules/beacons as well as mining productivity.

It’s not going to be enough alone for a large base, but I’d say it’s a lot better than almost useless.

Not a good game for Phil Foden here.

It bothers me that the height chart suggests there are 10 inches in a foot

The third dude was Kumar from the Harold & Kumar movies too

Where’s Dan Streetmentioner when you need him?

I guess the front fell off

I think it’s Acacia

Specifically, this is Eixample

The roads in the old city are much more chaotic.

Did they dig the tunnel with cow tools?

I still remember the code for Braeburn Apples, over 25 years after I worked in a supermarket.

For some reason, their code of 6969 sticks in my mind.

This book digs deeper into that sort of stuff:

Worth a read

Maybe let’s just say that you and I have different senses of humour and leave it at that.

For me, the humour comes from the fact that I pretended not to understand the image and point out that there are no plugs in the image. It’s a bit of wordplay that relies on the fact that people sometimes call plug sockets plugs.

I’m from the UK.

It was a joke. Don’t take things so seriously

Sure, there’s a lot of plug sockets there, but I don’t see a single plug in that image

And at this point, the extended crew of the Discovery was thoroughly sidelined: Burnham's personal relationships took priority over everything else.

This is the part that I’ve never got on well with in Discovery.

In TNG, it’s not a show about Picard, or Riker, or any of the other individuals. It’s a show about the crew. I’ve even seen it said that the actual star of the show is the ship.

Whereas, with Disco, it’s a show about Michael Burnham and everyone else has a bit part. That always felt weird for a Star Trek show. I want to see how the crew works together to solve problems and overcome things with everyone on an equal footing regardless of their rank in the show.

And I think that’s why there was such a warm reception to season 3 of Picard. It brought the crew back together. Picard alone isn’t satisfying enough. What we wanted was him as part of the crew.

My understanding is that they refer to different types of empathy.

What’s you’re describing is cognitive empathy and in the OP it’s describing emotional empathy.
