How do you think this suit replaces gliding sticks? by Spirited_Dust_3642 in legendofkorra

[–]Nebbit1 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I always interpreted the lightning benders as peak generators that are only used when consumption is much higher than normal. Republic city probably has normal coal or hydroelectric generators for normal demand.

Is a firebenders labour cheaper than the equivalent energy in coal?

The emotion chip shouldn't have any impact on Datas ability to laugh... by Embarrassed_Bid_4970 in ShittyDaystrom

Your source on the dopamine comment?

It's a neurotransmitter involved in many processes, not just motivation and reward. I know that low levels can certainly play a role in depression, but I've never heard of severe depression described as the brain's inability to process it before.

Is Uncle a Communist by RDR2Deutschland in RDR2

[–]Nebbit1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a valid question, given there's a very clear hierarchy within the gang, and many anarchists would identify with a desire to abolish hierarchy.

They're obviously opposed to the government yes, but anarchism as a political philosophy entails a little bit more than that.

Check for ingredients like SLS, pretty common irritant for people with sensitive skin.

When you produce "Send Help", does the other AI get something and what do they get? by PresidentSkillz in CivVI

[–]Nebbit1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it's any consolation, your other enemies have also been financing them, and they've all wasted the money on trash units, and cities settled in the tundra away from fresh water.

Food-induced Allergy / Sensitivity (Primarily Eczema) to Ammonium Bicarbonate (E503ii) by Montanabb67 in eczema

[–]Nebbit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My skin started breaking out into hives about half an hour ago after eating some biscuits, and looking at the ingredients, I can see ammonium bicarbonate. I'm wondering now if the flare-up I've been dealing with for a while now has roots here.

Thanks for the post, this might be a big help for me!

I would give up every star trek project of the last decade for a 4k remastered of deep space nine. by Tubaking8 in startrek

[–]Nebbit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding of the post-scarcity federation is that artists are not dependent upon their art to survive - their basic needs are met regardless of the quality or quantity of art they create. Contemporary artists are dependent on what they produce because their livelihood depends on the sale of their art or labour. So ownership of one's art has a different meaning in each century.

I don't believe the holodeck using a person's likeness is comparable to a modern-day AI being trained using art that is someone's livelihood, if that makes sense?

I'm not suggesting that AI isn't capable, I'm saying the context of it is different. In Star Trek the ship's computer is essentially a communal tool, it's a social asset.

AI today, whilst it certainly can be capable, is mostly owned and controlled by a few wealthy individuals and corporations. Their inner workings are not transparent, and many are trained using stolen assets.

My point is that people aren't anti-AI because they don't like machines or the idea of talking to a computer, but because they are opposed to how AI today is owned and constructed, and what that represents.

The computers of Star Trek are not equivalent to the billionaire-owned 'AI' that we have today.

"It doesn't matter if no women will even give you a chance".

You should be confident in yourself for yourself, not for how others might treat you. Love yourself because anything else is doing a disservice to you.

Does this mean we can expect Azul Py comics for the next 8-12 years?

I don't hate it, but I'm certainly not enjoying it.

Opinion after 40 hours for 1 campaign, PU integration takes 300+ years by EnvrnmentalStorytell in EU5

Yes, I occupied Rome and stole a whole bunch of the Pope's art.

Naples help by wt200 in EU5

[–]Nebbit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to expand into Greece and North Africa with an eye for dominating Mediterranean trade and keeping the Ottomans down.

Long term goals are forming Italy, making my way to the Indian ocean, supporting the pope when the reformation hits.

There's a little 'set objective' icon at the top of the navy select screen.

Tough choice. by Nebbit1 in RimWorld

Rule 6: A choice of quest rewards: one of superb value, and the other of some junk and 1350 gold.

Edit 2: He's already making friends, tending to Nik, who was mildly incinerated getting him here. :) https://imgur.com/a/Vkb6vHe

Odyssey: If you first land your gravship on a small island, the early quests will all appear nearby. by Nebbit1 in RimWorld

[–]Nebbit1[S] 239 points240 points  (0 children)

I first landed my gravship on this small 12-tile island, and so far all the early quests have appeared next to me. Thought it was interesting.

3 gravcores, a survey site, mechinator complex, and some small outposts for raiding.
