• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨26 years late but I finally beat Half Life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I beat it for the first time a couple years ago. Not too shabby. I think I had to look up how to do the platforming in xen.

  Blue shift and Opposing force are neat add-ons to hl1.

  Now you’re thinking with portals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Costs of Louisiana Purchase vs Alaska Purchase⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They sold it because they knew they couldn’t hold it in a war. They also needed the money after the Crimean War. In any case they would have happily sold it for money after WW1 or during WW2 when they needed money.

  This just tells me you’ve never been inside the house of a poor person. If you think they have a tv.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sigh. This is my last explanation and there are plenty of explanations in this thread. I’m taking small liberties to get the point across:

  In North America it’s cold Dec to Feb.

  In Europe it’s cold Jan to March. Europe has a bigger lag in cold temperatures because of their geography.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Two things because I’m not sure what you’re referencing. 1) We inherited a shit ton of European norms and terminology. 2) The cold weather in Europe has much more lag because of their geography. Large bodies of water, which Europe is surrounded by on 3 sides, smooths out and slows temperature changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An old answer I saw said that Europe (where conventions originated) has a bigger lag in temperatures than North America has. We both lag and the lowest temps are commonly in Jan-Feb.
