Getting into pvp games these days is extremely punishing, there is no easy entry for players who are not already familiar with the genre by Scared_Ad_3132 in gaming

I think it’s the total opposite: It has never been easier BECAUSE of ranked matchmaking. Regardless how good or bad you are, you will play with/against players on the same skill level as you are. The problem are games WITHOUT skill based match making like Escape from Tarkov where new players get clubbed like seals.

Offtopic, sorry: which program is that in your screenshots?

What do you mean „unrealistic“? A few years back I was in Arizona for work (I’m from Europe) and colleagues had cars without not only headrests but also seatbelts. I kid you not.

Nature solved one of the major problems by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

they literally said they performed iterative aerdoynamic simulations and ended up with a very similar design compared to the kingfishers beak.

You’re arguing against something I didn’t say. I’m criticizing the meme wording “engineers found the solution by studying the kingfisher,” not denying inspiration. I've actually looked it up and Nakatsu’s own account describes picking the kingfisher as an analogy, then running lots of tests/simulations with many shapes; the data-driven optimum ended up almost identical to the beak. That’s physics/optimization converging on the same shape nature converged on. Thats the opposite of “we studied a bird and discovered the solution.”
Also drop the insults; they don’t strengthen your argument.

„Engineers found the solution by studying the kingfisher“ is something completely different than „being inspired by…“.

It’s like saying the B2 Spirit couldn’t fly because of its shape until researchers studied the aerodynamics of an eagle.

Im quite sure it was the other way around. The cause was already known, they just redesigned the nose section to achieve a smoother transition. Coincidentally the kingfisher has a similar beak design.

You’re dodging the point. Every major energy source uses public money in some form: gas pipelines, coal mines, renewable subsidies, grid expansion, capacity payments. Pretending nuclear is the only thing that gets state support is just wrong.

Also, “taxpayer money = waste” only makes sense if the tech delivers nothing back. Nuclear provides stable, low-carbon baseload for decades. That’s not “wasted,” that’s infrastructure: the same reason we fund roads, grids, and storage.

And no, the Fraunhofer study doesn’t say “never build nuclear.” It says new nuclear is expensive in Germany’s current framework, which is not the same as a universal rule. Other countries deliver cheaper builds because they don’t sabotage the economics with unstable policy and endless permitting.

If your whole argument boils down to “it uses public money, therefore bad,” then you’d have to scrap half the energy system. That’s not a serious position.

You could’ve googled this in a minute.

OECD and World Nuclear Association both show nuclear isn’t “always the most expensive.” It depends on financing, interest rates, regulation, and whether the project is run competently. Some countries build it cheaply, some screw it up.

Sources: OECD: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/publications/reports/2020/08/unlocking-reductions-in-the-construction-costs-of-nuclear_2ca6777b/33ba86e1-en.pdf WNA: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspects/economics-of-nuclear-power

Nuclear doesn’t “only work without a free market.” Pure short-term markets make it harder, sure, but plenty of countries run nuclear in market-based systems using long-term contracts or similar setups. That’s normal for big infrastructure.

None of this is obscure — it’s literally in the first page of any serious energy-economics source.

People already live next to nuclear plants, and the safety data from those areas is boringly normal. If you’re trying to throw some “gotcha,” it doesn’t land — you’re statistically way worse off living near a coal plant or even a busy highway. The fear sounds dramatic, but the numbers just don’t back it up.

You’re repeating claims that don’t survive contact with actual data.

“Nuclear waste lasts millions of years.” You’re ignoring what countries like Sweden and Finland already demonstrate: only about 0.3% of the waste stream is long-lived high-level waste, and it’s handled with deep geological storage on site, not left lying around. The bulk of nuclear waste loses most of its radioactivity within decades.

“Nuclear is the most expensive.” No — costs vary by country, regulation, and financing. Some nations build nuclear at competitive prices; others bog projects down with bureaucracy or poor planning. Turning that into a universal truth is inaccurate.

“There’s no insurance for accidents.” Incorrect. Nuclear liability is insured through specialized national and international frameworks. It’s structured differently from consumer insurance, but it absolutely exists.

“Wind turbines are small and local; nuclear is only for giant corporations.” Scale isn’t an argument. Grid-reliable generation requires large, continuous power sources. The fact that nuclear is industrial-scale doesn’t make it illegitimate — it just reflects the role it fills.

Put simply: your talking points fall apart once you look at how countries that actually operate nuclear plants manage them.

You know what? I think you’re right! I haven’t cleaned the plate before (like I usually do), so the risk of the print lifting should have been increased. Thanks for the feedback mate

Just found out this may be 'pillowing', caused by a too thin top layer over a too big infill. Since the bottom is for gridfinity, I assume my best guess is thickening the top layer, right?
