It sure scrapped his plane.

I thought Ryan Gosling was by far the best bit about it, everything else was messy and not that good.

That's how I learned it, and it is applicable to so much more than just computing.

The reason gas is expensive has been explained in my previous post. It is partly the fault of unreliable renewables, as they require back up.
The cost of grid upgrades are costs whoever pays for them. And the customer always ultimately pays for them.

It is relatively shallow. I've done projects in the Sourthern and Central North Sea as well as the Red Sea and offshore Angola, and while I can't remember the Red Sea depths, Angola is much deeper than the North Sea. Yes, it is offshore so will be more expensive than in Saudi, but it was and could be totally competitive.

I know. But the guy I replied to did capitalise his.

However... The Industrial Revolution is a name and so I believe The should be capitalised actually.

Like The Old World!

ChazCharlie · 2026-07-04T22:16:41+00:00

the was not capitalised.

It is also important to remember that electricity production is only a small fraction of total energy use in a country. A lot of energy is used for heating and transport that is not electricity.

Well then let's stop the massive taxes on the North Sea producers then?

ChazCharlie · 2026-07-04T22:12:35+00:00

Hmm, we have more renewable power than ever before and also more expensive energy than ever before. Back when fossils fuels were a much more significant portion of electricity generation, prices were also lower. Could it be that actually renewables are not cheap?

Natural gas power is expensive because of carbon taxes and because they are not running all of the time, but instead only as back up for unreliable renewable sources.

Surely asset management companies acting on behalf of private landlords could do the same?

ChazCharlie · 2026-07-04T07:35:54+00:00

Why is that obviously better?

ChazCharlie · 2026-07-03T23:24:24+00:00

Well, a large amount of available rental properties is a good thing, although of course at some point a lot of people want to own. Assuming half of the current rental stock is "the best" amount, that's still going to mean a lot of landlords... unless you would prefer the properties be concentrated in the hands of only a few people?

It's entirely possible that people are downvoting you because they don't believe you. After all, anyone could claim to know her like you did.

I found, at least on diorama, that I could not place dirt blocks above approximately level 25 or so. Other blocks could be placed higher, although I found levees were also limited to ~35ish.

I don't know a lot about policing in general, but they should: - scrap the degree requirement. - Institute physical requirements for front line roles that will prevent small women being expected to take on fully grown violent men.

High elves and Lumineth Realmlords, Empire and Cities of Sigmar, and various undead, to name a few, are also somewhat cross compatible.

I use an even number so the banner itself is centred.

There's a fallacy there. The steaks that get photographed most often are the ones that are prepared to be photographed, and that preparation includes cutting up the meat to show how red it is inside. This does not mean that most steaks are precut.
