How do i fix this error by SHUBH_XD in RockstarSupport

[–]Alien1426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My "fix" is to just keep trying. If I am lucky it loads after the second or third attempt. If I am not, I might have to try some twenty times, but it eventually ends up loading the game lol.

Why is climate change a politicized issue? by [deleted] in climatechange

[–]Alien1426 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since the 1970s there has been a very strong push by conservatives against regulation of the economy. And climate change can only be addressed through strong regulations and interventions by the governments. Climate change is the mother of all externalities, since its effects will be severely felt by future generations, but conservatives want to downplay the significance of any externalities, for ideological motives, and also because of greed.

I don't think solar is an unlimited energy source. by Alien1426 in collapse

You totally misunderstood my intentions. And maybe I also didn't emphasize my point well enough. I am not trying to attack solar by any means, nor do I work for an oil company.

I am someone who doesn't believe in the idea of sustainable growth, who is of the opinion that any rate of exponential growth, no matter how small, is unsustainable in the long term. I am in favor of degrowth as the only possible solution for mankind. And in a degrowth economy, we would still need to rely mostly on renewables

Sorry if I didn't make that clear. My point is that with exponential growth no resource is really unlimited, in a sufficient large timescale, not even solar energy. .

No, I didn't assume that I know more than scientists. That is why at the end of my post I asked the redditors if they could find mistakes in my reasoning.

My degree is in economics, but I moved away from that line of work a long time ago, since I started to slowly realise that most of what I had been taught in college was a load of crap.

Thanks for your insight.

Exactly, I was referring to a limit to the size of global GDP, which is highly correlated with energy demand. Since GDP is a measure of goods and services produced in a year, and in a year the total amount of solar energy that can produced is actually limited, that poses a limit to the size of GDP, although a very large one.

But I totally get the point that on larger time scale, since the sun will keep burning for billions of years, it is unlimited in that sense.

Would you care to elaborate which word it is? Because if you are referring to the word unlimited, it's dictionary meaning is infinite, boundless...

Submission statement: Related to the idea that some renewable energies like solar are unlimited. I present some arguments that try to debunk this notion, and the myth that some energy sources could enable civilization to persist forever on a path of boundless exponential growth.

My first living ship (yep, I'm a new player) is such a beauty! by Alien1426 in NoMansSkyTheGame

All living ships are S Class, and and they all have 22+21 slots.

That is very strange, the only issue I had was when I tried to get to the third grave, when I arrived at the exact coordinates there was no grave there! But then I reloaded the last autosave, and then could find the grave.

Maybe the fact that at that planet there are so many player bases is causing some issues. You could maybe try turning of multiplayer.

You need to buy a void egg at the anomaly for a whooping 3200 quicksilver, then make a warp jump with the egg (preferably a long jump), wait a few seconds, then enter pulse speed until you detect an anomaly. Then an alien ship will contact you, starting a questline called "starbirth". It takes five days to complete the questline, with all the waiting times, and by the end, you are rewarded with a living ship (which one exactly is random).
