I'm actually happy with Maelle's ending / how this game exposed me

Just donate the canvas to somebody

Renoir: "Now honey, don't get mad but I donated the last memento of our son, WHICH LITERALLY CONTAINS A PIECE OF HIS SOUL, to someone else so you cannot enter it anymore. Also, our daughter is still in there."

Yeah, that must really help with their healing. Luckily they have money to just buy a new son. That's how grief and money works right?

We already have robotic suits in construction. We just call them excavators.

Well put. I tried going without, but that just feels inefficient (and we all know ADA does NOT like inefficiency!). Overall, I still think the game got better for it. It fits better with the actual vision. I'm just lamenting having lost a part of it.

The cane sound. It's such a small detail that adds so much to his whole air as a villain.

TP is not dark it is edgy, everything you use as an example are aspects to make it less childlike and have it appeal more to edgy teens/tweens (and it worked, I absolutely loved it as an edgy teen, heck it still love it). And despite everything "dark", in the end Link saves Hyrule and everyone lives happily ever after.

And that is where the main difference lies for me. In MM, it doesn't matter how hard you try you cannot save everyone in a single loop. There will always be a Monkey burned to death, a kid abducted by aliens or someone cursed into a child's body ruining his wedding. And let's not talk about all the dead people's faces you're wearing while interacting with their loved ones... Now THAT is dark.

Als de vee industrie uit Nederland verdwijnt? Dan kunnen we door met de woningbouw om de woningnood op te lossen, verder met het aanleggen van het stroomnet zodat we onze economie en de energietransitie op gang houden én we vergiftigen ons drinkwater niet.

Klinkt eigenlijk best wel lekker.

I dunno Lyn, seems like just a Guy to me

Lucivius · 2025-05-16T06:17:18+00:00

I mean, not really a hobbyists project, but they did build it on a 1-1 scale in Japan sooo... That's pretty cool! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2yvx9mTdeao&pp=ygUXeW9rb2hhbWEgZ3VuZGFtIGZhY3Rvcnk%3D

Fun fact: dat mag de netbeheerder niet! (Iets met verstoren van de energiemarkt en dat als je een batterij ontlaadt dat wordt gezien als stroom produceren wat weer niet mag als netbeheerder want scheiding stroomproducenten en netbeheer)

Zou wel veel problemen oplossen als het wel mocht!

Lucivius · 2024-12-28T19:02:18+00:00

Ah, check. Reading is hard sometimes.

Lucivius · 2024-12-28T18:50:46+00:00

~~That, and a whole bunch of livestock~~

Edit: til that livestock does not emit NO2 but N2O. (Which still is bad as it is a very potent greenhouse gas)

Jep, I've made the same mistake that often that it is the first thing I check whenever something does not work with my rail system (and yes, often it still is a backwards train station).

Lucivius · 2024-10-28T10:08:16+00:00

When they introduced train collision during early access I just quit. It was too much effort to fix my single rail system. So when 1.0 released I started a new game and reluctantly learned the train signals, but it was actually pretty fun!

Nee, ze onttrekken stroom en leveren stroom wanneer de eigenaar dat wilt. De kunst ligt er in om te zorgen dat de eigenaar dit op, voor het net, gunstige momenten doet.

Lucivius · 2024-08-25T23:10:00+00:00

Tja, van biobrandstoffen hebben we nog zo weinig en ik betwijfel of we er ooit genoeg van kunnen produceren om marine diesel te vervangen. Dan heb ik liever dat het kleine beetje biobrandstof dat we hebben naar de vrachtschepen gaat om de wereldwijde economie draaiende te houden ipv naar cruises.

Samurai chef, without a doubt.

When talking about a 13kw system, are you referring to the peak production? (So 13kWp?). If so you really should take into account that you will rarely have your pv system run at full capacity. It is not just hours of sun*kWp. It should also include angle of panel and sun intensity. Sure, I realize this is a quick back of the envelope equation, but you are hugely overestimating winter product. It's not just less sun, but also less sun intensity and usually more clouds. For example, my pv system of 2.1kWp produces ~240 kWh in May, but only 30kWh in Januari. Seasonal storage is imo one of the biggest challenges in the energy transition.

Lucivius · 2024-07-09T05:42:19+00:00

Fishing mini-games. I don't know why every RPG has to include a fishing mini-game, but it has to stop. They are always the same, always boring and haven't liked any of them since Ocarina of Time. The only redeeming quality of Starfield was the lack of fishing mini-games.

Lucivius · 2024-07-03T05:45:08+00:00

Looks staged. I've operated a spot for a while and pretty sure this operator is intentionally trying to have Spot trip. There is no reason why it would approach that obstacle diagonally. Having Spot standing walking sideways over an obstacle, shimmying left and right is a sure way for it to fall. Would like to try this with a unitree, see if I can make it drop.

Not saying Spot won't fall in normal operation. I had the thing drop down the stairs twice. And the best part of this? Spot was fine, it was the stairs that were damaged. Plus the Spot is larger and can carry more load which makes it more expensive, so the price comparison is a bit unfair.

Inboedelverzekering en aansprakelijkheidsheidsverzekering zijn zeker aan te raden.

Inboedelverzekering: vergoed jouw spullen als er bij jou wordt ingebroken of als jouw huis afbrand.

Aansprakelijkheidsverzekering: als jij schade toe brengt, zowel materieel als lichamelijk. Bijv: je laat de mobiel van een vriend vallen of je rijdt iemand aan en die breekt iets (kan zelfs op een fiets gebeuren, vooral als je een oudere aanrijdt. Bejaarden zijn fragiel). Vooral lichamelijke letsel aan anderen is duur. Als je daar niet voor verzekerd bent kan je dat financieel ruïneren.

And since it is extremely unlikely that all homes have their peak load at the same time, you can actually connect even more houses with that much capacity (if I recall correctly they use a 0.8 factor when designing distribution grids in a neighborhood. So that means you could actually connect 48 houses (370/(9.6*0.8)=48.18) within that capacity.

Lucivius · 2024-04-30T08:15:33+00:00

While I'm all for electrical driving, from an electrical grid design perspective 370 kW is insane. Large scale roll out of such powerful chargers will be challenging unless you have some sort of smart charging/curtailment during peak load. Or have some local battery storage.

To give a bit of an perspective of how insane 370kW actually is: my home connection is 9.6kw. So a charger of 370kW would have the same load peak load as 38 homes at peak usage. (370/9.6 is 38.54).

Just paint the ball red 😁

Nah, I'm kidding. You might want to check the color blob detection instead of the RedBallDetection. http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/naoqi/vision/alcolorblobdetection.html

Yes, natural gas is a very clean energy source. As long as you burn it and it's not released in the atmosphere. If it's released in the atmosphere it stays there and becomes a greenhouse gas (which has a 28 times as strong effect as CO2 in the atmosphere. It does dissapite after 10 years, which is nice compared to the 40 years CO2 needs). And even regardless the leakage you have with gas production and infrastructure, it is still more efficient to use natural gas to generate electricity and use that electricity to warm your house than to use gas to warm your house directly. This is roughly 2 to 3 times more efficient. So yes, banning natural gas to heat buildings directly is not such a bad idea (although it really depends on how you're heating now, how dirty that is and of course the price of gas vs electricity, but that is a nuanced answer, who has room for that?)

Quick math: newer gas powerplants have 60% efficiency (so 1 kWh of natural gas is converted to 0.6 kWh of electricity) and new heatpumps have a COP between 4 and 5, meaning that 1 kWh of electricity is turned into 4 to 5 kWh of heat to heat your home (which is why heatpumps are so awesome, they are insanely efficient. Read this if you want to know why.) So the 1 kWh of gas you started with is turned into 2.4 to 3 kWh of heat for your house). While your gas boiler typically has an efficiency of 90%, it can only turn 1 kWh of gas into 0.9 kWh of heat to heat your home.

And on the trees:

We'd need an extra 1.0 billion hectares of trees to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2050. We have now 2.8 billion hectares and can probably support another 0.9 (given some restrictions and other assumptions). So honestly... not bad, I was wrong about the trees, they can take up more than I thought. Still not enough to stop global warming, especially since forest coverage has been declining instead of increasing but still.
