Been seeing a lot more people that are aware of/support Henry George. Makes the heart warm.

This seems like an infinite step up from having to be in the office for 60-80 hours a week just to look impressive, while accomplishing little after the 35 hour mark. I would take this lady's position in a heartbeat.

But when we're talking antennas, do I need to get a big one that I need to try and get above the tree line, or does it boost signal penetration?

[–] McFarius@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (7 children)

I have a question about how easy the signal is to block. I live in a somewhat mountains, densely forested area. Do devices need to have direct line or sight to communicate? Wanted to set this up as a potential back up communication source for grid outages and keep a device in each car.

That is fair, I would call that a bit of perspective, bit not unfair perspective. Yes, it did take significant disasters to make the mistakes apparent, so who's to say if anybody would've noticed or how much of a problem they would've been.

Not a problem. To me, nuclear power is the answer to the mantra of "technology will solve the climate crisis," and we've had it for years, yet we're too afraid to use it!

Nuclear powerplants are so safe that they've only had a handful of (admittedly disastrous and high profile) failures, and have killed less people per watt hour generated than even wind and solar power. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most efficient form of green energy we can get right now. Yes, it can be dangerous if not managed properly. But Fukushima, Chernobyl, and Three Mile Island were not freak accidents. Deliberate mistakes were made that were known at the time and should be used as warnings to keep the industry safe, not as sirens that lead is to swear off nuclear energy.

What's the expected shipping timeline on batch 18?

[–] McFarius@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Really early on, with the original castle sets, where all the wall pieces were yellow. I believe the space sets were the first grey bricks.

The LEGO group has always been protective of their brand and nervous about being associated with potentially violent content, turning down a partnership with the Halo games because of that. For years, they didn't want to make grey bricks because they were afraid kids would use them to build tanks. All this to say, this seems pretty on brand for the LEGO group.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance fits this bill, I think. I haven't played any of the games listed yet, so I can't compare.

Minecraft Dungeons. I was grinding ancient mob runs.
