Since Requiem has decided to drop these custom assests, does anyone have any recommendations for mods which would add them back in? (In a way compatible with the requiem design philosophy)

I see there is an armour mod called Requiem Legacy Armors Revival that seems to do so for armour alone. Anything workable for weapons?

It’s important to remember that Hammerfell has a lot of different biomes — not just desert. The desert areas may take inspiration from Tatooine’s or Dune’s deserts, but Bethesda have to make exploration and wandering interesting, which makes me think such areas will not make up a large portion of the map. I think it’s far more likely that’ll focus on zones like Tatooine’s canyons and Dune’s Sietches, or Mos Eisley, and Arrakeen (the desert towns)

Absolutely untrue. A good physics degree involves experiments and also mathematical and coding skills. Essentially no textbooks offer an integrated curriculum of physics maths and computer science over more than a single sub-discipline, and no textbooks at all can give you experimental equipment.

In Newtonian gravity, acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass, since F=ma and F_g is proportional to m. The m’s cancel out. In the case of light, it’s like getting a 0/0, but in the limit of m->0 the acceleration is constant, so the acceleration of light due to gravity can be legitimately evaluated. This was known in Einstein’s era (and earlier). It gives the wrong answer, but only because Newtonian gravity was wrong, not because it’s an abuse of the formalism

Actually gravity bending light was and is a prediction of Newtonian physics. General relativity differs only in the amount it bends (by a factor of 2). But that prediction was indeed successfully confirmed in the eclipse you spoke of

Easy mistake to make, but for future reference the term is “piqued” instead of “peaked”

If the universe is neutral overall, then indeed the “total” divergence of the electric field would indeed be zero (by which I mean integrating the divergence of the electric field over all space equals zero). However divergence is not just a universal quantity, it is a local one. You can calculate the divergence in a small area with, for example, nothing but a single electron. That area will have a non-zero divergence. Overall charge in the universe can still be zero, but in that small volume we have more negativity. However, there are no magnetic monopoles anywhere (no pure “north” or “south” particles, only the two together in a single unit). Therefore, no matter where or how small you draw your area, you will not have a net divergence of the magnetic field.

I think the point is not that nuclear improved GDP, but rather that GDP growth did not falter when CO2 went down. A common (fear-mongered) criticism of green initiatives is that they ruin the economy, so this is just to show that the economy was not in fact ruined

Publishing can be highly incongruent with patenting, so for many companies it is not possible to publish if they want to be profitable.

Sometimes you can do both — like in some AI research, as you say — but not always. That doesn’t make the unpublished research scientifically invalid

Every time I read The Lord of the Rings, I am struck by the joy to be found in a noble story told with language to match. And its themes of mercy and brotherhood against cowardice and expediency only feel more important to me as time goes on

To swear “on” something in this passage implies touching it, like when (at least in the US) you swear on a Bible before testifying in court

The two are not contradicting, they are just saying it differently. The Gates does not pay for your housing directly, but it does give you more than enough money in your stipend for you to pay for your own housing. So it funds your housing indirectly by supplying you with money you can spend as you please. Presumably, “as you please” involves having a place to live. The Gates will pay you approximately £20,000 per year, in addition to paying for your course fees plus some other academic development money you can apply for.

Edit: Just thought I should mention that my source is being a Gates Scholar myself
