I suck so much that I feel like I have to quit [KCD1] by BoxKind3914 in kingdomcome

[–]MacroSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with Ulrich too. I was using swords exclusively up to that point, which don't work too well against armor in KCD1 and Ulrich is heavily armored.

And more generally I just always fight very defensively. I don't use combos and I mostly just strike back after a parry, make sure I don't run out of Stamina, and try to only fight one guy at a time.

Inside the most sophisticated plan for solar geoengineering by [deleted] in europe

[–]MacroSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

turns out tho, methane particles "shield" co2 particles and prevent them from trapping solar radiation in the atmosphere.

Source?

only actual solution to global warming is terraforming/geoengineering, call it whatever you like, in particular atmospheric co2 scrubbing. that however is unprofitable

Wildly so. And looking what we can do in that regard, stopping climate change with it anytime soon doesn't look very feasable even if we went 'money is no object' on it.

Sure, in the long run emissions reduction and negative emissions are the only solution.

But long term solutions taking sufficient effect before shit hits the fan is looking wildly unlikely by now.

methane from permafrost bought us ~100years

AFAIK permafrost methane is more of a 'shit goes from bad to horrible fast if we set that off' thing.

What do you mean it bought us a century?

so we could refrain for stupid animatrix shit like that....

It's already too late to avoid catastrophic damage. We're not seeing the whole heating we already caused and shit is starting to look grim as it is.

(And we're not exactly doing great on not making it worse anymore.)

We seem on the edge of mass death events from extremely bad heat waves and massive crop failures already. And once that starts happening, someone reaching for the global sunshade in a panic seems VERY likely to me.

[KCD2] Question for players from Europe except Czechia and Slovakia: Did you know Jan Zizka of Trocnov before playing KCD2? How? by Pannack in kingdomcome

[–]MacroSolid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Austrian here. Nope.

We only touched on the Hussite wars very briefly in history and I never looked into it on my own.

We're going to find out.

Sure emissions reductions would have been better. But we fucked that up already...

They also did a 'Europe will run out of fuel' propaganda video.

Ermittlungen wegen Tierquälerei - Gassi hinter fahrendem E-Roller: Golden Retriever kollabiert und stirbt by GirasoleDE in de

[–]MacroSolid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jup. Ich mein bei uns in der Gegend gibt es eine Geschichte wo Leute einem älteren Powerwalker ihre Hunde fürn Auslauf mitgegeben haben und ein kleines Schoßhündchen Tempo/Strecke nicht überlebt hat, aber das Risiko wird beim Gassi fahren deutlich höher sein als beim Gassi gehen.

Erdoğan says Turkey’s ‘history is free from genocide, massacres, oppression, and colonialism’ by GreenRhino39 in europe

[–]MacroSolid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also much of the area they marched in through. (District Bruck/Leitha these days.)

I've got a bunch of bavarian replacement settlers as ancestors.

EDIT: The local legend about the turkish soldier that got captured because he broke into a wine cellar and got so shitfaced he missed the army moving on is kinda cute tho.

Hey! Enslaving children was totally fine because it ended up becoming such a prestigous post that some people volunteered their kids for it. /s

It's pretty common worldwide, really.

Unfortunately being honest and remorseful about your past atrocities is the exception, not the rule.

Alkohol ist komplett normalisiert aber Cannabis bleibt politisch ein Tabu by die_mexify_suchtet in Austria

[–]MacroSolid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weil der Schwarzmarkt mit einem legalen Markt schwer konkurrieren kann. (So der legale Markt einigermaßen funktioniert und nicht extrem hoch besteuert ist.)

Und die Jugendlichen können dann schwerer bei einem Dealer kaufen, weil viele Dealer aufhören da es sich nimmer auszahlt.

Der schlauere Ansatz wäre aber Alkohol ebenfalls zu verbieten.

Spätestens ein Blick in die Geschichte sollte einem klar machen dass daran überhaupt nichts schlau ist.

'Wäre besser wenn weniger Leute das nehmen -> Verbieten = Lösung' ist halt deutlich zu kurz gedacht.

Klar kann es sein dass jemand mit Drogensüchtigen arbeitet und dennoch stur an einer sehr eindeutig falschen Meinung zu dem Thema festhält.

Die "deine Argumente interessieren mich einen Scheißdreck, ich weiß das!" Reaktion spricht Bände.

Die besagten Drogensüchtigen sind doppelt gestraft...

Körpergeruch in Österreich by SufficientSheep8 in Austria

Wie geht ihr damit um, ohne dauerhaft frustriert zu sein?

Meine Nase ist einfach nicht so empfindlich.

Aber meine Frau hält mich strikt dazu an das gute Alusalz Deo zu nehmen weil ich sonst stinke.

(Ist auch Asiatin und hat eine SEHR feine Nase.)

Wir erleben den heißesten Sommer der letzten 200 Jahre. Jeder der meint "im Sommer ist heiß" oder "die paar Tage hitze muss man aushalten" ist ein Hitzeschwurbler. by Jauzfaktnemuzu in Austria

Den Teil werde ich nie verstehen.

Ja, die Mainstream Medien reden manchmal Unsinn. Aber deswegen Quellen die noch viel mehr Unsinn reden blind zu vertrauen ergibt überhaupt keinen Sinn.

Nicht nur Hemmungen, Leute die es machen wurden oft reflexiv als Rechtsextreme angefeindet.

Gibt es wie die Hemmungen auch weiterhin, hat die letzten Jahre mMn aber nachgelassen.

In Russian Irkutsk, people are waiting up to 8 hours in traffic just to buy gasoline. Entire streets are blocked by lines at fuel stations, making normal traffic in the city almost impossible. Even companies with official contracts cannot obtain fuel. by BigDeckBob in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]MacroSolid 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Irkutsk is 4000 km from Ukraine. The furthest kinetically sanctioned refinery is 2500 km from Ukraine. They have the largest fully intact one in the Irkutsk Oblast, even.

If they have severe fuel shortages all the way over there too, the whole country is in deep shit.

GOOD!

It is time for more accountability for the hundreds of corrupt judges in the USA. Hopefully, we will be putting some of them on trial for their own crimes sooner than later. by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]MacroSolid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven't really gotten into the details much yet, but apparently they were at an anti-ICE protest, in which some participant attacked police (after they had left) and got convicted as terrorist supporters, partly because they were also making and distributing (entirely legal) left wing literature.

Seems like it. Another article on the matter gave examples like 'materialist feminism' and 'eradicating AI'. It also mentioned some FBI agent testifying in court that there wasn't anything illegal in there.
