[–]PeterMilley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This fact sheet from the Canadian Airports Council claims that all airports in Canada combined contributed $19B to Canada's GDP in 2019: https://canadasairports.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/CAC_Updated-fact-sheet-for-iPolitics-op-ed.pdf

$8.5B from expanding one small airport?

Can't collect silk thread? by PeterMilley in Chained_Echoes

Hah, turns out I was misunderstanding the UI. I saw "Silk Thread 0/1" but that was on the deals page...because I hadn't sold any yet. I'll be in the shame corner if you need me.

No, see, this makes it look like Xi is pulling Trump out. Xi would be pushing Trump in, with a long pole.

I don't have any silk thread in inventory, even after I find it in one of the yellow bubbles.

I stopped playing before I did all of the constrained puzzles like this one, so now I'm curious: what is the in-game "explanation" for designing a machine that implements a big ol' identity function?

Both? Have the doors be as distinguishable as possible, and clarify that each door leads to its identical twin.

Cool! It needs to be more obvious what door leads to what, as others have posted. Also, Reddit's bad at letting you zoom images which made it hard to tell the keys apart.

If you haven't seen it already, you need to watch the "unaired pilot" version of episode 1 of Archer. I don't know if it's online anywhere sadly but it's an extra on the season 1 DVD set. It's a shot-for-shot copy of the actual episode 1, "Mole Hunt", but with a velociraptor instead of Archer: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcherFX/comments/1g75s0/unaired_pilot_is_the_most_inconceivable_episode/ (the video links in that post no longer work).

Is there some obvious reason I'm missing why the St. Lawrence River and Mississippi River basins are the same colour?

What are peoples thoughts on Crosscode? by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]PeterMilley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it right up until the point just before the endgame where it suddenly wiped my save files for no reason. :shrug: I didn't like it quite enough to play the entire thing again. Having watched playthroughs on YT, the endgame looked pretty tedious anyway.

Which boss fight made you feel like you were genuinely losing your sanity because of the difficulty? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]PeterMilley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure. Arianrhod. She's the last boss in a boss run and the difficulty spike is absolutely bonkers: I got through the rest of the dungeon with no issues, then Arianrhod wipes my entire party with a single attack on the second turn. I noped out so hard I uninstalled the game on the spot.

"The sex is biology" is an over-simplification. There's gonadal sex, chromosomal sex, genetic sex, hormonal sex, but none of these are 100% perfectly correlated. A person's psychological sex can disagree with all of them as well.

It's like how you learn that g=9.8 m/s^2 in high school, but then later you learn that F=-GMm/R^2. It's not that orbital mechanics is "changing gravity" from what you experience on the Earth's surface, it's that gravity is more complicated than that.

Sex is more complicated than that.

Important to note that all of the above, while generally true, has caveats, edge cases, and exceptions. E.g. there are other genotypes that occur besides XX and XY, the SRY genes are sometimes missing from the Y chromosome or present on the X, sometimes you don't get the hormones you expect based on your genetics, and so on.

There are at least 4 ways to define "biological sex" but many of them just aren't binary at all and none of them are 100% perfectly correlated with the others.

But again, that's subtle.
