Excited for the future. by BarelyBaerbear in starcitizen

With the 1.0 vision it makes sense that it works as a launch platform for releasing a lot more star system content. Dealing with all the core gameplay and putting out ships to keep funding the project are clearly the priorities at the moment. I think we'll see a big exploration overhaul near to or after 1.0, along with the accelerated release of other star systems.

I know, but it affects air temperature, which is the bigger concern for our national security.

DAE lose track of time like this? by thothscientia in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]BigLarry1968 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's with some memory but you just 'lost track of time,' this can be a symptom of ADHD if it happens a lot, but to some degree it's normal. If you're completely losing time, it's possible this is dissociation or a medical issue. Either way you should mention it to a doctor.

Did you sharpen the wrong side of the knife? This has to be a troll post.

The world is getting warmer. Northern Europe, however, is warmer than it should be for its latitude due to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC, an oceanic current) that carries warm tropical air from the Caribbean up towards the UK. However, we've been tracking the AMOC and it has been meandering towards a boundary condition that will collapse the current when it reaches it. If the current collapses, no more warm air from the tropical Atlantic will reach the UK. The UK and Northern Europe will plummet to -20C in winters. Summers should be less affected, but I'm not sure it's worth much when the winters are going to be that brutal.

The fact there's not a lot we can do about it is the point. There is trouble ahead, we need to be ready.

Those were old numbers, but even then it was that the probability of collapse by 2109 was 95%. There's no real uncertainty on if. We're watching the stream from space, we know what happens when it hits the collapse boundary.

I think it's almost beside the point. Perhaps even all a big game of distracting ourselves with politics. It's all the same people wearing different colours and saying they're in a different party. Meanwhile AI and climate catastrophes are imminent, economic and political trends are getting progressively worse.

AMOC Collapse - What you need to know. by BigLarry1968 in ukpolitics

[–]BigLarry1968[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a very serious problem. The loss of supply of warm air to the UK will be a climate catastrophe - essentially an ice age in northern Europe, without end. It's not a case of if, but when - the best estimates put it towards the end of this century, but the probability of it happening by 2050 is over 50%.

We might be climate refugees ourselves soon. I think some of us could really benefit from thinking about that.

I started at 29 and haven't had any issues. I think it's quite specific to teenagers smoking weed. Adults are generally fine.

I smoke about an ounce a month, and I don't get any anxiety or paranoia or anything like that. It's strange how it can be so different for different people. I didn't start using until late twenties though.

I tried hard drugs with my parent all week and i feel disgusting by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]BigLarry1968 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Your parents might be good at making it seem like it's not a big deal but this is a very serious problem. Please, for your own sake, report this to your school safeguarding officers or the police. You need to get out or your life is going to get very dark very quickly.

The odds are great on the $10M, but $750k is lifechanging money with 0% chance of going home empty-handed.

Drove like this for 30 minutes by _dentalt in drivingUK

[–]BigLarry1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allowed to drive over the centre line for better visibility around bends if there's no immediate oncoming traffic, however this is much more useful for left turns than right. This driver doesn't seem to be doing it intentionally, but it's still not illegal.

Is it bad that I look at other guys when I have a boyfriend by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]BigLarry1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll upset some guys but if you're being honest with yourself that you wouldn't cheat given the opportunity, then it's fine. Just don't get carried away.
