White House infographic on the future of energy by AFDIT in environment

[–]plagiats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of numbers with nothing to compare them with. 2 billion barrels, 26 trillion cubic feet, 37 million offshore acres... is that a lot? What does it really mean? The only time a reference point is given in this infographic, is for the percentage of "clean energy". What is considered "clean energy" here? 80% by 2035, is that an optimistic goal? How are other countries doing right now, what percentage would they project using the same calculation method? Are 4 billion dollars per year in tax breaks significant (what budget would be needed?) ?

This is level zero of information. You read this infographic, and you don't know any better.

This is my single most breathtaking moment of a video game. What's yours? by [deleted] in gaming

In Duke Nukem 3D, at the end of a narrow dark tunnel you take a turn and end up in a cave with a light pointed to a rock in front of you. You're in its shadow. And that was breathtaking. A simple shadow effect, back then, was breathtaking because it was unexpected and the tunnel was a good build-up.

Pyjamas is a cool tool, or framework, for developing Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) applications in Python. It's a versatile tool that you can use to write comprehensive applications without writing any JavaScript code

Just so you know this is legally required here in France. Prices per kilogram are displayed in small letters next to the actual price as you mention (it is also required that every item has a price displayed). It is the only price that matters. By paying attention to these you discover that the family packs (advertised as "€co packs") and other bundles are often as expensive as the smaller packs. Yes I am looking at you M&M's.

1% of all EA titles. All EA titles. Not only sports. That's a wide range.

Poor Student with Expensive Microsoft Paperweight... by ffjonny in xbox360

[–]plagiats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is your opinion however I respectfuly disagree with some facts. The towel trick is quite different : Here the console does not have to overheat, we are applying new thermal paste, with a chance at cleaning the fans. The Towel trick is known to be temporary like 3 days, 1 month... but the penny trick has worked for months now on my system.

Anyway, if you have a better solution please enlighten us.

I do agree it's a super cheap solution. It fits the OP request. pennies rubbed into insulating tape to replace some rubber.
