I don't think beginners are going to be in that situation and most people probably won't ever be in your situation, mostly people doing it as a hobby are going to end up with 100+ TB of data.

EDIT: when I say "most people wouldn't be in that situation" I was thinking of the typical person who is on the fence about this and would be swayed by the "it will save you money" argument. Its quite likely that most people currently self hosting (I'd imagine mostly hobbyists) could be in a similar situation to you if they aren't already

That is awesome. I was hoping they'd learn from some mistakes for the new divinity game as both DOS2 and BG3 were overall very well done

I hated the DOS2 armor so much. Early game it does what its supposed to, but mid to late game its about as useful as wet tissue paper. It becomes a game of "who can stun the enemy first and win the fight"

I should probably have added the context that I haven't yet played DOS1, so I can't say how it compares to the CC effects from that. I do agree it was a scaling issue, the damage scaled too quickly relative to the armor and the armor restoring abilities scaled awfully and required taking a lot of points into earth or water magic (there was shields up for shielded characters, but it had something like a 3+ turn cooldown I think).

The environmental effects were cool, but somehow it always ended up being cursed fire and blood clouds, and there was never much use for blessing surfaces given how many enemies could curse it just by walking on it.

The crafting had some neat points, especially early on, but it was often a lot of trouble and I didn't really engage much with it after fort joy except for runes and hybrid skill crafting

It can when private equity companies buy all the housing and deliberately keep residences empty to create artificial scarcity.

I'd rather not live in a society where theft is necessary to survive

Sudoscience* it’s what sysadmins do

It’s because the Scouts (formerly Boy Scouts) started accepting girls in 2019, prompting the name change. However, they are a separate organization from the Girl Scouts so they still exist. But without that context it does sound sexist

Except less than a month before, Wikipedia concluded an RFC (request for comments) discussing this exact issue where 2/3 voted to call it a genocide. He could’ve argued for it here.

The argument primarily stemmed from governments which claimed it was not a genocide, which would also apply to other accepted genocides. He said that academics should not be considered above other sources for deciding to call it a genocide despite it being established policy on Wikipedia that academic sources are held above other sources. So basically going against well established policy which is applied to the rest of Wikipedia in direct conflict with the community consensus.

Wales also is a self described ally of Israel and has received monetary awards from them which presents a conflict of interest. If you’d like to read the whole exchange (or part of it) you can do so here. When people link to pages in the WP namespace (e.g. WP:NPOV) they are referencing established policy

I think it’s more that one delivery is a drop in the bucket while achieving a constant stream of deliveries (e.g. the public puts enough pressure on their respective governments) could meaningfully address the problem

Most plastic can’t be recycled into something usable. Plastic degrades quite a bit with each recycling, leaving a bunch of microplastics behind (same thing with “biodegradable” plastic). It would be better to tax it enough (or ban it) to make it not used in certain applications.

“All colors are beautiful” -> ACAB

I think they’re asking about the government’s refusal to use the money for SNAP they were given in case of a shutdown. I believe it would just be sitting in a bank account somewhere.

Would a pansexual be a bisexual who's had enough shopping jokes?

Sorry, I don't actually know any, but I guessed the kitchen jokes about pansexual are related to the "pan" part. I then though it feasible there were shopping jokes about bisexuals because of the "bi" (homophone for buy) part.

How can that be a cat's desk? There's a cup full of pens that hasn't been knocked to the floor!

I also just got one, don’t know what was installed on it before as I immediately installed Linux, but I now use that key to toggle fullscreen mode on virtual box. I have to use some Microsoft applications for work so I have a windows VM. If they didn’t shove all this A”I” stuff down your throat and take away your control over your device so that they can spy on you then I’d probably still be using Windows for everything.

If you're talking about the neutron it's because concrete has a lot of hydrogen. Alpha particles, beta particles, and light (gamma rays in this picture) interact with electrons, with the probability of being stopped increasing with electron density. Lead has a lot of electrons (its lower on the periodic table, called a "high z" element).

Neutrons, however, don't care about electrons and instead interact with the nucleus, with the probability of being stopped depending on the spin state of the nucleus and the neutron. This doesn't follow a specific pattern on the periodic table, but hydrogen has a big chance of interacting with the neutron while lead doesn't. Cadmium, boron, and I think lithium 7 also would stop neutrons easily (there are more of course but those are what I remember offhand).

The worst part of the left one is the implication they have only two passwords. The "under the keyboard" part at least requires physical access and (hopefully) means its not something stupid or short like "p@ssw0rd".

The bigotry I agree with is stupid, and the actors are just doing what they’re paid to do, but I really did not like the massive amount personal drama in Discovery. And it feels like it repeats itself constantly because none of the characters learn anything. It feels like a lot of episodes are “let’s watch these characters repeat their previous mistakes then get angry or cry about it when they get the same result as last time”. Also the plot point where all the engines blow up is just stupid and even more of the absurd personal drama.
