  • Sorry for the long silence

    No problem, we're all busy here.

    Maybe you're right, maybe the metabolism changes will not kick in with 100 calories reduction.

    Stil, even if all this is true (I mean, no need to get into the paywalled details) we're taking 4kg over 3 years which in many cases will be totally insignificant. Many people will not start eating more because they lost 4kg. But even if they will then, as this article says, eating 100 calories more doesn't require actually eating 'more' food, just a different one. Get a potato instead of a salad, get different type of bread, or a normal butter instead of 'diet' one. Figuring out if those changes are carbon negative or positive would be incredible difficult as they would depend on the specific products you're changing, where do you buy it and so on but my bet is they will be close to 0. I still think it would take way more than that to offset the carbon footprint of a Rumba.

  • I don't think the problem is that the girls and ashamed of the fake porn. The problem is not even that other kids will believe it. The problem is that kids will use it to mock, bully and ostracise them. It's not being shared as 'OMG, you're so hot I made fake sex tape with you, marry me". It's being shared as "you're a slut that does porn, everyone thinks you're a bitch, go kill yourself'.

  • You don't think the popular culture is telling woman that having kids is the most amazing thing and if they don't have them there's something wrong with them? That a very common trope. Couples separating because one doesn't want children, women obsessing about having children, getting depressed when they can't. Silo and Good doctor are examples I've seen very recently. And what about 'child-free' couples in TV shows? Can you think about any? 20% of adults don't want kids yes in TV that's still pretty much non-existent.

  • The only surprising thing here is that people are surprised by this. Of course there are no regrets. The only reason people regret this is because popular culture keeps telling us that women is not a real women without kids. Get pass that BS and you'll be fine without kids. You will also have more time, money and less stress.

  • Who made you think it's weird? I did it at 38 and all I got from doctors was "how many kids do you have? None? I have 2 and your making the right choice". Seriously. Also, why would you care what anyone thinks? Also, no one will know. You don't have to tell anyone.

  • Yes but aren't game developer experts on gameplay balance? Why would they listen to feedback from some amateurs? It's the same with movies. People who designed Sonic for the movie were also experts, right? Yet they listed to feedback.

  • Yeah, I don't know. In the age of remakes, reboots and huge franchises can we really say that we watch shows for the story? Is any of the Marvel movies about the story? You always now how it will end. If you read the script of Guardians of the Galaxy would it really spoil the movie? I think those movies are actually more about 'being involved'. Same as Star Trek or Star Wars. It's about following, being a fan. Story is the weakest part of those movies. It's all about CGI, action sequences and 'fan stuff' like callbacks, references and so on. I think showing what's happening on the green screen wouldn't actually spoil anything and would be really interesting to the fans.

    And regarding fans ideas Sonic comes to mind. They released the trailer, fans complained and it got fixed.

    But I not saying that all the shows should be made like this. For some (most?) I wouldn't work. I'm just saying... wouldn't it be interesting to see the entire process for a show like this?

  • Kind of a random though but do you think we will ever see shows done in a more connected way? I mean as of now, all the shows are always done in secret. Why not involve fans in the process? Publish videos from the set as you film and get feedback? Publish scripts, test footage and so on. Yes, the element of surprise would be lost but wouldn't it be nice to see how the show is made and they see the final product? And maybe even influence it a little bit? I would love something like that. What do you think?

    Edit: interesting. Looks like only I would be interested in seeing how a show is made.

  • My EV has 280km range and it's a bit short. I would prefer to have 450km.

    Reasons:

    • charging above 80% is slow and bad for the baterry, you also don't go to 0% before charging. so on most days I don't actually have 280km range, more like 200km
    • I drive more during the weekend, usually just around 200-300km. I can charge for free at work but with 280 range I can't charge for the whole weekend which would be nice and would reduce my costs to nearly 0
    • on longer trips 280km means a stop for charging about every 2h. Make it 3h and it would be perfect

    280km is enough for daily driving but in my case, 50% bigger battery would a big improvement overall.

  • I don't think I'm optimistic at all. Police departments already pay out damages. It's not some wishful thinking. Police already lie, plant evidence, threaten witnesses and make deals with criminals. And they still do lose civil cases and pay. Of course it only happens in the most extreme cases but it does actually happen. If each such case meant they lose money they would try not to have such cases. How? By getting rid of the most aggressive officers. It would not fix all the issues but it would help.

  • If think it should be up to the team. If they think it's useful to meet at the office they go be it weekly, monthly or quarterly. My commute is like 15 minutes so I don't mind going to the office at all but the experiences is way worse now that it's hybrid.
