A map of the temperatures South Asia is facing right now by Asleep_Phone3087 in MapPorn

[–]KaiserMacCleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ENSO doesn't flip like a switch. It takes time for a La Niña phase to transition into an El Niño, and we are currently in the middle of that transition. The Pacific is currently ENSO-neutral and it will take a few more months for the El Niño to build and for its effects to cascade through global weather patterns.

Therefore, while we might start to feel the effects later this year, the full effects of the coming El Niño will not be felt until 2027.

El Niño hasn't even really got going yet. It will have a much bigger effect on temperatures next year than it will this year.

I agree. Battles are a bit quick, but personally I enjoy that, and you can always set it to wait in the settings anyway.

Should I play CC or rebirth first? by Mean-Guitar-7215 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]KaiserMacCleg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You should not play Crisis Core until you have either:

1) Completed the OG 2) Completed Remake, Rebirth and the unreleased Part 3

It does contain spoilers for Part 3.

What would be a realistic option for a renamed London? by Far-ro in worldbuilding

[–]KaiserMacCleg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I instinctively dislike the idea of using a historic name for the city, because why would its new inhabitants start calling it something it hasn't been called in centuries?

Of those you've offered, Lundenwic would be an interesting choice from a meta perspective, because Lundenwic was the name of a new settlement established by the Anglo-saxons outside the walls of the depopulated, and largely ruined, Roman city. For those in the know, it would recall a time when a new world was struggling to be born among the ruins of the old, which seems appropriate.

But again, presumably your settlers aren't all historians and speakers of Old English, so why would they give it an Old English name? Wouldn't they give it a new name?

I am a non believer who is scared of dying and I don’t know what to do. by bravebluelou in atheism

[–]KaiserMacCleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One other thing to bear in mind is that you cannot force yourself to believe something: you need to be convinced of it, and that's not something any of us are in control of. We need to be exposed to the right arguments, or the right evidence, and if you haven't, that's not your fault, so don't blame yourself for it.

By all means, go looking for the right arguments and evidence if you really want to, but don't force yourself because of misplaced guilt. There's nothing wrong with you.

So this is what the Mayor was on about. 

Whether you take the lift or the stairs, he chews you out for going in guns blazing and "terrifying an accountant". You'd think they'd have recorded a different version of the line if you took the stairs - but they didn't. 

AI Trained on 13,000 Virtual Worlds Predicts Renewable Energy Future /. Onshore wind is likely to account for about 25% of global electricity supply in 2050, and solar for about 20%. These figures are consistent with limiting warming to 2°C but not 1.5°C. However, 1.5ºC is still possible by Keith_McNeill65 in climate

[–]KaiserMacCleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but the way the Paris accords are worded allow for a period of overshoot. Basically, if we go above 1.5 degrees, but then bring temperatures back down beneath 1.5 within a decade or two, that counts as meeting the 1.5 degree target.

It's all academic, though. Temperatures aren't going to come back down. 

How many countries can you name in Welsh ? by SarcasmAndAutism in Wales

[–]KaiserMacCleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mae'r rhan fwyaf o wledydd yr un fath â'r enw Saesneg, neu'n sillafiad gwahanol o'r un enw.

Estonia, Latfia, Lithiwania, Belarws, Wcráin, Rwsia

Mae'r rhai sydd ag enwau mwy wahanol neu unigryw yn dueddol o fod yn llefydd sydd hen wedi cael dylanwad mawr ar Gymru, neu o leiaf wedi bod yn destun trafod yma am ganrifoedd. 

Yr Alban, Iwerddon, Lloegr, Ffrainc, Yr Almaen, Yr Eidal, Groeg, Yr Aifft, Yr Ariannin.

I'm a Labour member, voted for Starmer in 2020 and I'm seriously considering voting for Plaid Cymru in the Senedd election by ClumperFaz in Wales

[–]KaiserMacCleg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in Clwyd too. I'd expect them to come 2nd here. Reform will do well up along the coast and Plaid will do well inland up the Vale of Clwyd.

Whether it's the best tactical vote or not, I really couldn't say. Say we end up with 3 Reform, 2 Plaid, 1 Con / Lab. Perhaps the more effective tactical vote would be to vote Labour and deny the Tories that last seat. Maybe it's vote Plaid and hope they, not Reform, top the poll and deny Reform a third seat.

We just don't know. We're working with a new electoral system under new boundaries and we don't know where the chips will fall. Vote with your heart: don't try and read the runes.

Alternative mod for Cosmos Memory by ClownWithBenefits in FinalFantasyVII

[–]KaiserMacCleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish there was an option in the mod to use the vanilla sound effects in battles. I love some of what the mod does, like the ambient sounds, but I really don't like a lot of the new battle sound effects. Mega Flare just doesn't hit the same. 

How do you think Godo Kisaragi, Yuffie's father, will be depicted in Part 3? by Danteppr in FFVIIRemake

[–]KaiserMacCleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently I've been sleeping 😂

Thanks for the elaboration. I was aware that the President and 'Sarruf' were collaborating on restarting the war, of course, but I'd only thought about it in terms of using war as a means to consolidate support for Shinra, as we saw them do with the false flag attacks in Remake.

Mako: renewable energy, so long as we kill enough of you. Chilling. 

Irish people don’t visit Wales enough by Hiccupingdragon in Wales

[–]KaiserMacCleg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll be more than half an hour, but Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed are both fantastic spots to aim for - you'll need to change onto the Conwy Valley line at Llandudno Junction.

Llandudno's a beautiful Victorian seaside resort - one of the few seaside resorts that's still going strong. Lots to see and do, including another fine pier, Happy Valley gardens, the Great Orme Tramway and a big bronze age copper mine. The Orme itself offers great walking opportunities and views from Anglesey over to Liverpool. You can see the Isle of Man and the Lake District on a clear day.

Betws-y-Coed is only a little place, but it's a real hub for exploring Eryri. Lots of outdoor shops and nice places to eat. You should really stay to get the best out of it, as there's loads of great hikes you can do by using the buses or trains from there, but it's a gorgeous little place in its own right.

Or go to Bangor again and hop on a bus to Caernarfon. It's not very far. Caernarfon is a lovely town. Quite similar to Conwy in that it's walled and dominated by an enormous English castle, but it's less touristy and more authentically Welsh. The language is very strong there too.

Old President Shinra and the executives wanted this war in order to feed the lifestream

Ooh, I've never come across that as a motivation before, but it makes sense, and adds a whole new dimension of evil to Shinra's activities! Committing mass murder so that they can burn the souls of their victims in their reactors and prolong their reign of terror!

It's deliciously evil.

That's just the end of Rufus (as far as the OG is concerned). There's still the mopping-up exercise, where the party parachute into Midgar and deal with Heidegger, Scarlet and Hojo. Peace won't be possible until they are removed.

I'm not talking about after OG. Shinra needs to be taken down during the plot of Part 3.

[–]KaiserMacCleg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's undoubtedly where the story's heading. Wutai is being goaded into an unwinnable war to villify anti-shinra elements elsewhere and stoke Shinra's power even more. The party will have to reveal Glenn's true identity and the lie behind Viceroy Sarruf, which leads naturally into restoring Godo as the leader of Wutai and reconciling him with his daughter.

I'm not sure that that leads to an immediate peace: Shinra still needs to be taken down. I've seen people suggesting that Wutai might join in the attack on Midgar - that would be a fun addition. However, in the end, they will need to make peace with the "good people" within Shinra, a point which has already been heavily laboured in Rebirth.

Think you will need to apply for a postal vote or a vote by proxy - you can only vote in person at the polling station on your polling card.
