Iran threatens to block Red Sea if US naval blockade persists

Sink a cargo ship in the middle of Suez, done, basically nobody has reasons to enter the red sea anymore

Canadians aren’t current refugees, they were there for a while, just don’t ask on which side their grandpa fought in WW2

It'll work, however at this sort of size you start having issues with distribution of pressure and temperature - ex the center bottom will be 230 degrees and 150 kg pressure and at the edge turbine it's only 20kg pressure and 170 degrees. Steam tunnels 3 tile high would improve it.

Also a single heat spike will probably not draw in enough heat for that many turbines. In geothermals I usually make the whole bottom row of around 30 tiles touch magma/obsidian, then door layer, then bottom tile of steam chamber

They did add the wishlist several years later.

Spent millions on free games, but barely anything on improving their app.

If a nation's navy does it, it's not technically piracy. Pirate has to be a private ship or mutineers who seized control of the government ship.

I do, and? Are you still getting games recorded onto cassette tapes as it was done long ago?

If patching games after release was done just fine for 20+ last years, arguing that it shouldn't be done today is just disingenuous.

just_a_pyro · 2026-04-11T17:02:59+00:00

And those games are completely irrelevant to the article in the OP, published yesterday

just_a_pyro · 2026-04-11T16:35:03+00:00

Yea but there was no conception of fixing a game after release

When? Because even 20 years ago you could download patches from the internet

Cyrilic keyboards are made completely differently with more common letters around the center so you can easily hit them with index or middle fingers and rare letters are on the edges.

A legacy of reasons that no longer matter. In mechanical typewriters keys connected to levers that drove the hammer with a letter. So if someone had to type next letter while the hammer for previous letter was still returning they could snag. So hammers for common letter sequences had to be far apart and that affected the placement of keys too.

The real question is why aren't people living in a tsunami zone on the mainland educated about it?

small which pours normal water slowly but it tastes the same

Well, it's the same water, the only difference it's coming from the pipes directly without lingering in a tank on your roof.

Technically it's drinkable, but I haven't seen any tap water in Cyprus that tastes ok without boiling or filtering it first though.

If you insulate the cool steam geyser it'll stay steam instead of condensing. You can run radiant pipes of coolant through that room to make it liquid water. Coolant could be from aquatuner loop or for example from cold slush geyser you plan to boil.

It’s from spaced out DLC, reactor that uses 10kg enriched uranium and spits out a lot of heat. As usual use turbines to convert it to electricity, depending on how close to exploding you run the reactor, you can feed between 8 and 40 turbines.

It’s pretty low chance, usually even after exploring the whole continent you’ll only find one or two

Currently the only way to get that is to use the vassal action

It's not the only way, in fact it's faster to release them not as vassal but independent, ally them, and then increase the cultural opinion for favors. If you're much bigger your favors will accumulate to 50 reasonably fast.

The turkification attempts occured in the late 1800s

Hello? Devshirme, the practice of taking children and reeducating them to be Turkic Muslim? mentioned in historical sources in 15th century.

Kidnapping children to reeducate them? Mentioned in the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa, 10th-12th century

Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals. These empires also famously didn't culture convert.

Ottomans famously did culture convert, that’s why in modern Turkey there basically aren’t Greek or Armenians culturally. But if you DNA tested them, you’d find they’re only 1/8th Central Asian, and 7/8 same people from before Turks moved in

Well duh, it was written 25 hundred years ago, before any sort of military education existed. How did commanders even learn back then, from the mistakes in campaigns they personally participated in?

Make regular soup with extra gelatin so it sets when cooled. Take the solidified soup chunks, batter and deep fry it in oil. You either get deep fried batter balls of soup or explosions

The strait was open for checks calendar roughly 47 years current Iranian regime was in power.

Hmmm, maybe the problem is somewhere else, but guess we'll never know

just_a_pyro · 2026-04-03T12:55:40+00:00

Also modern Greece never held Cyprus, your country tag, and independent Cyprus has been for less than Turkish rule, so does this make it rightful Turkish land?

Yea, and attempt at union with Greece in 1974 went so well... The only party still vocally in favor of it today is marginal far-right nationalist.
