- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 2 weeks ago:
Typically wind is dissipated by friction losses with the surface I think (bleeding off speed and energy by making waves, waving trees, and just rubbing against the ground) and wind is generated by heat from the sun (warm air expanding pushing against cold air, creating pressure differentials across thousands of miles).
Because wind is quick to regenerate and this does nothing to stop that the result is probably a pretty small drop in average wind speeds around the new mill and no greater ramifications than slightly less pollen travel in the spring.

So true, bestie!
- Comment on Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run 5 weeks ago:
Ya, by that logic oil is solar energy too because the ancient algae photosynthesized to grow before it died and was converted into oil. Ridiculous! Nuclear energy is solar because the uranium was formed in a supernova!

I’ve licked a few too and am also alive. I suspect that they are deadly and that you and I are the only two who are immune to it.

- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 6 months ago:
I will say that new XCOM can be good at that too. It really is the most important part and I’m glad they didn’t leave it out of the remake!

OG XCOM has a really rough learning curve for sure. It is easy to understand the fundamentals of but it takes a lot longer to get it well enough to really enjoy. Once you do learn it I feel like it is different enough from new XCOM that you can enjoy both. I love new and old xcoms a ton.

I actually really like OG Dooms just as much as the new ones. I didn’t play either until just a few years ago so no nostalgia. They are very different and so I don’t feel like they step on each other’s toes too much.
