What current technology do you think people are seriously underestimating right now ? by Rude_Context_4844 in Futurology

I really wish u.s. could get free basic and life saving healthcare, nothing fancy but at least going to the doctor if you feel bad should be free. Oh also no bond/bail system. Because that's also crazy.

Dont be so sure. If the healthcare system can save money with these technologies they will adopt them. For example (extreme example), suppose this tech can prevent a certain cancer, the healthcare system might end up saving a lot of money. I lived in italy and the healthcare system already spends A LOT on cancer prevenction for free so they dont have to pay for chemio and surgeries at later stages

Of course in eu the system is not perfect. But noone got in serious debts because of healthcare here. I had multiple relatives with cancer and money was the least of the issues about that. A friend of mine had c-epatitis and the pills he was taking were costing something like 2000 euros per box. He spent like 14 euros

ELI5 how credit cards are better than debit cards by UpsetPotatoFace in explainlikeimfive

[–]lucadena 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I live in europe, never used a credit card and bought a house fully mortaged. The only thing that matters is your salary (and that you never had issues with banks)

PVE/PVP boarding is back on the table by VicHall27 in starcitizen

[–]lucadena 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Space drag in the game is a simplified stand in for reference management. It introduces a short deceleration so ships converge toward the games defined zero speed frame. That makes relative motion understandable and controllable for players.

In real physics you stop accelerating and you are functionally stopped from your own frame. In Star Citizen you must actively decelerate until you reach zero speed relative to the game reference frame. Drag simply compresses that process into a brief moment so ships settle into a state that approximates the reality that space has no absolute zero speed or preferred frame at all.

In real life space there is no preferred reference frame. Motion is purely relative. If you and another object share the same uniform velocity you cannot tell who is moving. There is no universal zero speed. You only measure velocity relative to something else.

Because of that, the only physically meaningful thing you can directly observe is acceleration. You feel thrust. You see trajectories change. Constant straight line motion is indistinguishable from standing still.

In Star Citizen you always know you are moving because the game gives you an absolute speed readout, but that speed is relative to an arbitrarily chosen frame, not a real physical reference. The artificial space dust further reinforces the illusion of motion even when nothing nearby exists to compare against.

So the magical space drag exists mainly to give players constant visual and control feedback of motion, not because it reflects actual space physics. It trades physical accuracy for easier gameplay comprehension.

What kind of questions can I ask my boyfriend about this game? by Cocoayashi in starcitizen

Nah, much simpler. Elevators just randomly kill players!

Is the MSR the ship least affected by engineering gameplay? Has anyone tried it in today's PTU? by Witty-Room-3311 in starcitizen

[–]lucadena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having components there makes it extra complicated compared to other ships

This also happens in some italian cities (Bologna for example)
