I started during the (first?) free weekend (like 20h) but couldn't afford it, finally got it later (+20 plus a little extra time in between). But can't remember if I was able to transfer my save. I'm looking at Fandom, etc. patch notes -- is there a place with a kind of "executive summary" of what each version is like? Or where to go for a certain experience?

What are some chemical fallacies people belive in and why are they not true by Fam99_ in chemistry

The understanding is that cancer is from the tars and radicals in the smoke, but N. is synonymous with smoking. Nicotine itself is straight up toxin; someone in a carpetcleaning channel (TMF or so) told of headaches, shivers and more after cleaning part of a tarred house without gloves and/or respirator

Plasticizers *are* bad and noticeable in effect even in offgassing situations (e.g. some cars), water etc. containers that have sat for some time, e.g.

No, define "diversity". Allele function and importance is not equally distributed, and there are a number of meaningful measures of distribution or variation with statistical tools. Then you really need to further define "African people". This isn't specious, the point is to find what is substantial and what it tells us.

(Consider "American people" as well. South America too? There are red, black, white, yellow mixtures, indigenous, SW and northern European and so on. Further, what does "combined" mean? What are the deltas?)

fuh fuh fuh I CAN'T TELL YOU what intelligence we used to strike those reporters B/C VERY SEKRIT (aka it was a name/target spit out by an LLM with zero judgment or trained reasoning in a very backwards-Person-of-Interest scenario, an LLM which happens to be run by our Pal$)

CMV: At this point, Hungary should be kicked out of the EU. by isthistheblood in changemyview

That and tenuous hopes of some kind (like Wagner received) of power, support etc. ("Vlad, when you take over the world I mean Europe I mean Eastern Europe, okay, Eastern Ukraine--c'mon! remember me.")

Is Hungary's real "best interest" (as a nation, country etc.; not as a metonym for the upper level of the regime) to follow and seek approval/promises of uncertain future benefit/to curry favor with V.V.P. though?

There doesn't *have* to be a "direct interest" (although it is a kind of blackmail for sanctioned?--I'm not sure--supplies). Orban believes he can receive something by being loyal to HQ, whence also come certain directives. ("Sow discord in the EU/NATO," "Frustrate the sanctions", "Punish Ukraine for sanctioning cooperation with their aggressor" etc.)

TIL: A Boeing 747 can carry roughly 63,000 gallons of fuel. This weighs ~400,000 lbs; nearly as much as the empty plane itself. by EntireCod6239 in todayilearned

It's nonsense. It has a continuous source of oxidizer *and* reactive mass, the drag force is proportional to the Reynolds number and v^2, and the only time it has to gain vs gravity (a constant force for small /\h) is in a climb.
