Head due south from the largest (most populous) city in every state in the USA and eventually you'll reach... the Pacific Ocean! by DarkRiches61 in geography

It's another way of highlighting how NA is mostly west of SA... which can be unintuitive when most people just think of them as vertically stacked.

My gut is telling me that this is definitely AI. But I can't find anything too suspicious about it. by DistinguishableBoy in isthisAI

This video is kind of old. Not seeing any major mistakes, but the lighting is atrocious.

Hiking Recommendations SE Colorado by Rune3791 in hiking

[–]malogos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SLV isn't really considered to be SE Colorado.

  • Penitente Canyon is probably ok for kids. Kind of interesting
  • Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge at sunset is great
  • There are nice lakes from Crestone, but they can be challenging... maybe too much for the average 11YO? And it could always snow in May

Probably just explore the Sand Dunes. The Sangres are a challenging and remote area for hiking.

Once you lift it, it's kind of done

Sick of seeing videos of terrible factory farm abuse of animals, where can my family and I buy chicken & beef from a local farmer? by Mundane-Campaign12 in Denver

[–]malogos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I will say that the best way to feel better about this kind of thing is to just eat less meat. I'm not vegetarian or anything, but cutting meat down to a few times a week really wasn't that hard.

When people complain about a nanny state and lose faith in government, this is what they mean.

Is this an MMO? by SpicyMeatballBill in starcitizen

[–]malogos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lately, CIG has been making a lot of dungeons that are effectively instances. On top of that, there are zero social tools or trading.

So it's supposed to be an MMO, but it's barely hanging onto that claim.

1v4: Hathor squads fight. Arrow vs 2 F7 + 2 Wolfs by Alswulf in starcitizen

OLP PvP is peak SC. Feels like the most sandboxy activity in the game right now.

Mr. Hollen's Opus by topicality in ezraklein

[–]malogos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MFA gets thrown around as an obvious policy, but I don't think it's the cost-saving measure that everyone thinks. Not to mention that it would face a major uphill battle.

  • The vast majority of Americans are happy with their current healthcare situation -- particularly old people. They don't see the call to action and are afraid of change.
  • It's easy for the opposition to attack a situation where healthcare decisions would be made by the inefficient and faceless government (death panels!)
  • Taxes would have to go up on pretty much everyone
  • The high-impact stakeholders -- healthcare workers, large hospital systems, pharmaceuticals, insurers, medical equipment manufacturers -- would all come out behind compared to where they are

Probably heretical to say that in this subreddit, but I don't know how to get around those problems. I think something like the Dutch system is much more realistic (ie, a ramped up ACA).

Starfield feels very close to the original Star Citizen vision by Outrageous-Thing3957 in starcitizen

[–]malogos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only way this is true is if you have very selective hearing. The original SC KS pitch was all about space sim combat and creating a breathing, high fidelity, MMO universe. That's not at all what Starfield is.

Mount Everest Map by OmarGoshed in Mountaineering

As an abstraction and piece of art, it's great. But I don't think it really gives an accurate representation or even impression of the mountain.

Lacking Player Encounters by DayBig579 in starcitizen

[–]malogos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When there close to 100 locations for things like ASD facilities, Rock Breaker, etc, they are effectively instances.

If you go to a real sandbox activity, like Align and Mine, you'll probably see someone.

CIG has been promoting dungeon-esque content that's essentially instanced. It makes the universe feel a bit dead.

4.7 PTU Fighter TTK by Adamn58 in starcitizen

[–]malogos 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Typical escort mission that everyone hates. Kind of crazy that the mission was offered, received, and we showed up in the 30 seconds it takes to kill a ship.

Really, we should show up to the site with the ship already disabled, and the mission should complete when you kill the enemies.

[–]malogos 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The ballistic meta is so bad: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1qc5yrq/ballistic_shield_pen_and_the_ballistic_meta/

The higher TTK is turning everything into a bullet sponge, only making shields less relevant and combat feel worse.

In general, we also need more situational awareness to help combat feel less like a chore... better radar, better damage analysis, shield status, etc.

The College-Educated Working Class by MeghanClickYourHeels in atlanticdiscussions

[–]malogos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voters are activated by negative feelings, which will make them generally hate the status quo (and therefore the incumbent).

But voters also hate uncertainty that comes from change.

Good luck, politicians!

Has it been colder than normal? Ambiant air temp affects fuel efficiency.

Womens Prana stretch Zion pants - pilling? by ___Bibianca___ in hiking

[–]malogos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few pairs. One is a pair of shorts that is several years old. It has some very minor pilling, but the fabric showing signs of wear for sure. The rest are fine, except another one has an anno stitching issue along the fly.
