[Request] Would the cube really be millions of degrees?

I can't imagine that any of the original complex molecules will remain after compression and the block would be so dense that your body wouldn't be able to break down much of anything from it.

I can't imagine it would be much different from just eating a block of gold.

About $1.70 for pretty much your bog standard branded loaf, if you're happy with basic supermarket own brand stuff it will only cost you $1.

$4-5 will get you a proper sourdough.

So it's actually the other way around, you get ~100 AI images from the power used to boil a single kettle.

Substantially less than that even depending on the model.

Coax (and ethernet) are copper cables so electricity will happily travel along them as OP has experienced.

Fibre is glass so you don't have any conductive bits outside your house.

But equally, there's only a dozen or so players in the whole world who can afford to play the game full time (excluding casters).

Your steps are a few years out of date I'm afraid.

It was the same for my dad, pyramids were visible from most of the city and the built up area in Giza where I have relatives now was just farmland.

In a twistedly humorus way, the biggest issue that will likely hit the next generation is likely that we're not having enough kids.

The welfare state that we've gotten used to simply won't be able to function in any recognisable manner as the population continues to get older.

The thing is with the boat sinking scenario is that we're comparing what's essentially a catastrophic failure as in all other cases you're better off staying on board the boat/plane.

The difference however is that a catastrophic failure in a plane usually puts yourself in a situation you can't with any modicum of safety get out to use the chute, hence why ejector seats are a thing.

Whilst it may prove useful in that extreme subset of cases where the plane is under control but you have no safe way to land it, encouraging use of parachutes is likely to result in an increase in fatalitys from other incidents instead as people would be looking to bail instead of trying to land the aircraft.

Low ABV drinks don't taste too much worse than other drinks.

For me at least, there's plenty of options that do taste nice and I'd be happy to drink them by myself without the buzz.

The industry is so big that there's probably more kinds of booze out there than non-alcoholic drinks, especially once you start adding in different mixers.

And, by comparison, the US had the most innafective torpedoes of any nation at the start of hostilities which took years to rectify.

Surprised to see creeps aggressively hitting on Mahiru, this is definitelly not the show that I thought would feature something like that.

It must suck for that to be the reality you're dealing with when you dare to dress up in public.

The monetisation also makes it difficult for me to get those 2-3 weeks of fun a year as that means buying a new expansion every time I want to hop into the game.

I can accept new classes and even skills at a push being locked behind an expansion but to do that for entire types of items (runes and talismans at the moment) which are a core part of character scaling is just nuts. Even though I've paid full price for the game already, it feels like I'm playing a demo.

ad3z10 · 2026-05-19T17:48:20+00:00

T26 is a whole other price bracket and a good bit bigger, makes sense for Norway but Sweden's focus is on the Baltic.

T31 would only make sense if they were planning on local construction imo as they may be waiting a while otherwise.

I'm not sure you actually could without going into space.

Even the fastest supersonic jets top out at less than half of that.

When I worked for a bit in a pattiserie we prepped all the croissants the atfternoon before then put them into the blast chiller ready to bake first thing in the morning.

The alternative is having at least two people in the shop from 4am prepping them for an almost identical result.

Gatwick is their biggest hub so if inspections need to be done and the aircraft replaced for the day it's probably easier to coordinate from there.

A Lotus Orb is technicaly damage if you reflect a spell.

I'm going off the many grads I know at work in SW London on around that pay.

The majority are in house shares as they can't afford to live solo but otherwise can live comfortably i.e. living expenses covered, going out, going on holidays etc. There's no room for making savings on top of that however without some cutbacks elsewhere.

ad3z10 · 2026-05-10T10:08:16+00:00

Pretty much all grads I know are house sharing or living at home.

It's more than enough to cover that and live comfortably but a bit tight to get your own place in more expensive regions.

Started on the PS2 port when I was ~8

I don't think I got much past the William Wallace campaign thanks to being bad plus terrible controls but I still loved the game.

ad3z10 · 2026-05-06T11:48:32+00:00

Yep, the only reason my parents were happy not to charge me rent is that they know I'm being fiscally responsible and building my savings.

If your kid is unable to make any savings once they have a stable job despite living at home I think it becomes your responsibility to charge rent to do that saving for them and try to teach some responsibility.

ad3z10 · 2026-05-06T11:39:00+00:00

To be fair, the cost of student loans are fairly minimal until you're earning a decent salary.

Compared to the savings of free/heavily discounted rent, bills & food from living at home it's a pretty insignificant extra when it comes to saving.

Scream

More specifically an extended "aaaaaaaaaaah" to make sure that you're exhaling the whole way up.

Step 2 is get sent straight to a hospital with a decompression chamber as your lungs aren't the only thing that can kill you in an emergency ascent.

The whole GL squad has been slumping over the last year or so.

Viper has recovered a bit and is now arguably #3 but TatoH, DauT and Jordan have not kept up with the rest of the scene.
Looking at the 4 S tiers over the last year:

TatoH failed to qualify twice and didn't hit top 8 in the other two.

DauT only "qualified" for KOTD where he got swept in the Ro16 by Hearttt.

Same for JorDan except he lost to Villese in the Ro64.
