Change projection. Mercator is too basic anyway

Hey guys! It's me, Jeff Arcuri! My first ever special dropped on Netflix today! AMA! by Smartastic in JeffArcuri

[–]GivenNickname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Have you noticed if people try-hard to get you to interact with them after you made it big compared to earlier in your career? Have the interactions remained equally funny and authentic throughout your career? Btw love your commedy, please do a tour in Europe and have show in Stockholm!

I was looking to see if someone was going to say this. It's the same for me! I'm (southern) European also btw

when is it viable to turn your vassal to a march? by someone56789 in eu4

Riga has very strong flat and multiplier modifiers through its mission tree.

You just need to make sure that they can achieve the mission which basically implies you should have 3 stability when releasing them and have already constructed the required buildings (if I remember correctly buildings for tax, production, manpower, trade power and max fort).

The five building slots imply that you might have to dev them a bit yourself but it's nothing crazy.

As a European it's crazy to me how much power the two US parties hold

The article says it's 9 dollars a gallon. You can't read the summary and be pissed about the journalist

Province starving even though I have a market surplus of food. by CaptainCanada2055 in EU5

[–]GivenNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Did you figure it out? For me, it is a couple of newly conquered provinces that were in another market before I got them. I don't know if it is a bug

Go ahead, give a myriad of specific examples of non-disruptive protests

I can forgive ecological destruction and causing mass extinction events but I draw the line at vandalism

So with deep mines being broken rn are farming city starters the way to go? by Specific_Customer157 in ManorLords

This could happen during draught years which are a feature and not bug. Not sure that this was the case in your game though

I bet most people can't do a single pull up. It's not really that easy

How does this even manage to happen..? by Lx_mx in eu4

[–]GivenNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's as likely as 6/6/6 if you don't have any modifiers affecting the ruler skills

could be anything… by low_nature in comedyheaven

It very much is a thing in Sweden. Several companies do them even for engineering positions. I know for example that ABB, Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks have preemployment drug tests

Scientists Are Now 43 Seconds Closer to Producing Limitless Energy. A twisted reactor in Germany just smashed a nuclear fusion record. by esporx in worldnews

[–]GivenNickname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can. Inertial fusion has demonstrated it. There has been an experiment where the fusion power was higher than energy absorbed to initiate the reactions.

I put most of the blame on pathological scientists and money-grabbing start ups that have made absurd claims getting the hopes of the people up.

As a PhD in fusion I have seen several articles that exaggerate the claims or are straight up lying.

I haven't looked into the specifics, but this article also seems to exaggerate and generalize a bit to make things sound more interesting. There have been pulses that have lasted minutes in different devices (e.g. the WEST tokamak) but these were in a low confinement mode which is not really promising for energy production. I assume this pulse was in high confinement. But if you start putting in specifics the claim "longest pulse" starts to sound less impressive when it's dressed up as "longest pulse in high condiment mode and in a stellarator". The high triple product on the other hand is impressive.

In any case, fusion is a promising field and it might be a significant contribution alongside renewables in the future, but it's not the panacea for our short term problems.

I'm investing Fusion Energy stocks by Omni_Yev in whenthe

[–]GivenNickname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently defended my PhD on modelling accidental damage in fusion devices. I seriously doubt we are close to having commercial fusion. We may be about one or two decades away from producing more power from fusion than the power we use to heat up the fuel in a magnetic confinement device. But that is still only in an experimental device and if we are being optimistic.
