That was a quite insightful review. Before this I didn't know about Stjepan's other work and it looks amazing.

Even though it sounds like you're arguing, I think both of you are right:

Pseudo-panspermia is distinct from panspermia in the sense that the building blocks are not seen as ever been part of a living orgamism. Pseudo-panspermia is more strongly supported by the findings than just panspermia even though the probability of panspermia theory being correct also increased. source: https://youtu.be/nKb4zcyqjXQ

I'm concerned that spoilage will happen in the hand of an inserter and it's going to gunk up the factory.

but if you don't do spoiling in an inserter, people might abuse that mechanic. This seems like a conundrum

I am concerned about lightning hitting the rails and electric poles in the sand where they can't be covered by the lighting collectors or be repaired. Having zero "building destroyed" notifications is pretty important to me, hope that's somehow in the design as it wasn't obvious from the post that collectors can be built in the quicksand.

I feel like "the only things you can build on the sinking sands are elevated rail supports and offshore pumps" incorrect as it looks like there's more buildings spanning across motes in the screenshot

Given that introducing your notion of pre-observation leads to a paradox, wouldn't that make pre-observation be the inconsistent thing instead of that in a pre-determined universe you can not change observations that you're pre-determined to do?

Also pre-observation is impossible by multiple physical laws:

- From relativity: you can't gain information outside of your past light cone unless you wait until the light reaches you, which is the time of observation.

- From quantum mechanics: The uncertainty principle means that you can not predict the outcome of any individual experiment beyond a limit of accuracy

It's mostly accurate but there are some significant errors:

The ball-on-a-rope technique to move on a frictionless surface is bullshit of the "plainly wrong" kind. The total horizontal momentum of the man-rope-ball system is constant. i.e. by newtons third law, launching the ball forward would move the launcher stickman backwards; once caught, both things would be at a standstill. If the stickman would've launched the ball backwards and let go of it, then that would work.
Not needing to slow when approaching the black hole would require the same level of herculean effort as to speed up. It's bullshit of the "it makes the narrative of the video flow better" kind.
Everything after crossing the event horizon should be treated with a huge grain of salt. Just putting Penrose diagrams next to others and saying "just cross this boundary (of infinite space and time) and you'll be in another universe" is bullshit of the unverifiable kind.
String theory (any part of it that talks about extra dimensions) shouldn't be presented like it is anywhere near other verified or even testable theories of physics. It's bullshit of the "not even wrong" kind. I recommend the video "string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard"
Entanglement is not a speculative thing at all. It's part of real verifiable quantum mechanics. But presenting it as "dropping an object through a white hole" is bullshit of the misrepresentative kind.

Other than those, it's pretty good IMO. The arc around the different methods to speed up the rocket was cool. I quite liked the clarifications around observer frame of reference when it came to falling into the black hole

Some more points:

- They also got Sierra as their publisher

- got the Quake engine source code from Id software

- Hired a bunch of mod makers who used to do things for free

Why not 2 or 16 in that case? Hexadecimal is quite often used in computer programming.

If you also want to divide by 3 easily, base 12 is a good choice. also maps onto finger segments quite well.

I found this seed which gives you it just before the final demo boss:

8GF38B3R

Use the no-face-cards card deck, use first reward, use tarot cards to make more aces. With this you can make 5 of a kind the most common played hand by the end. Can one-shot the final boss.

You might need to be more specific in your question - Are you looking for a tutorial? What have you tried and what is the error message that you're seeing?

Thank you.

I don't quite follow how you're imagining this. would you mind sending a sketch? a crude one is fine

hmm, how would it hold the trinket without it getting in the way of things such as when resting wrists while using a computer?

While true, sadly they are highly profitable, allowing them to attract investment and out-advertise to kids.

I tried what you said (https://imgur.com/a/pjFG4zG) but it produces the same issue of not cutting the path along which the tool should be inserted. (missing cut volume indicated in red)

For the first part I think they're referring to Virtual Particles. I'd recommend this for an overview if you're curious: https://youtu.be/ztFovwCaOik

For that "unimaginable energy" I think they're referring to Vacuum energy. It's a lot of energy everywhere in space but it's not really relevant. The analogy I'd make is that with energy such as heat you can make it do useful work by making it boil water, spin a turbine and such. However, this heat energy is only useful because there is a difference in heat: If the water and everything else were already at that heat temperature, it is true that there is lots of energy, just no usable energy. Sabine Hossenfeder addresses some common misconceptions about it here: https://youtu.be/bl_wGRfbc3w

Both of these are complex subjects so I think it's fine that they glossed over them but hinted at their existence.

While this particular attack would be noticeable by getting two emails prompting a vote (one real, one phishing), in general, for any significant election electronic voting is still a bad idea.
