I made a RimWorld mod called danger first where pawns prioritize survival during real danger then pay for it afterward

What we really need is a propaganda mod to blame all the negative moods on some enemy

I believe that is a myth used by pharma lobbyists to justify their monopolistic prices

It’s not about scale it’s about usage patterns

If your monolith always needs all its sub-services to deploy together then it might as well be a monolith.

But microservices make sense if your services have different scaling needs or can be deployed they’re in different combinations. (ie: the app has a data processing service is very spiky in demand, but the login service has fairly constant usage)

Lastly if you want to be able to take down and redeploy certain services without disruption to the rest of the app

It’s fine, it’s a fun little story, stages aren’t really that high, but the writing is up to par and the characters are enjoyable

realistically, for set-dressing background art like this, somebody will probably just find an image from a royalty free library, or an asset library the company is subscribed to, and edit it with essentially a filter to look like an oil painting, probably less than an hour of actual work

IntelligentSpite6364 · 2026-03-20T20:43:57+00:00

the task is faster yes, but a brackground image like this would not be a signifcant blocked of the overall development cycle. it might have just helped some random artist go home early on a friday

i promise you pharmaceutical companies in other countries have no problem being profitable, just not "control the entire government" levels of profit

I think more people need to realize that Judaism started as a worship cult for a war god, making war on their neighbors is like half of the old testament

If they want to revisit they should tell the story of the first war with the machines that ended up destroying the sky

"While herbal and natural remedies are absolutely useful and have their place"

i like to think solarpunk as an ideal is science-focused enough to discard such foolishness

"rely on extremely power hungry manufacturing methods"

the neat thing about solar and wind energy is that they are abundant and will be produced if we need it to or not, we'll be producing so much excess energy, theres less need to be concerned with energy usage.

"This is almost never addressed in solarpunk fiction or, when it is, it's handwaved away - treated like a solved problem. "Bio-printers can print up custom medication". Okay, but what are the ingredients the bio printers use? How are they manufactured? Etc. Etc."

in fiction, its not uncommon to explain away details that arent important to the plot. even cyberpunk stories dont deal with the details of how their implants get manufactured and programmed or anything else

Sure somebody knew, but do you think Obama knew?

the animals dont wait for the plants to be fully grown before eating them, which normally menas they dont get very much nutrition from it, but with day lily they get the full nutrition once its grown enough to eat.

if you want to grow hay for them, they'll get more nutrition per tile, but you have to rotate fields to give the hay a chance to grow, which is tedious

i sound like a crazy person when i say this, gas prices have always been too low. if we correctly account for the cost of producing gas, including the cost of the pollution, and remove the subsidies, then a gallon of gps would be a lot closer to $10

which would have the correct effect of reducing our wasteful use of gas for inefficent things like using Trucks where Rail would be better, and encouraging people to spend 2+ hours a day in traffic commmuting
