As someone who is not big into platformers or souls-likes, Hollow Knight.

Zebra M-402, which I’ve used exclusively for at least 20 years. (The same one.)
Followed closely by the Ticonderoga.

Yes.

Yes, I can eat a seemingly infinite amount of pasta. Just pasta.

If this happens on my box I’ll be taking them to small claims court and let you all know how it goes…

Don’t use water to clean up? What the fuck?
- Comment on A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. 1 month ago:
A catalytic converter also might be part of a wood stove. A lay-person may have no idea what a hash table is, or if they are also used in fields other than computer science.
Why would you specify that it’s a turbo encabulator, everyone knows they’re all turbo.

- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 months ago:
I would posit that the internet and abundant screen entertainment contributed to killing third places far more than cars. The US has had a car culture for a very long time. (I’m not saying that makes it a good thing.)

I still don’t understand how the fuck that worked. Why would any company risk doing business with shxitter after that?
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 4 months ago:
In many regions solar capacity factor is much higher than 20%; for example, the entire US. atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2021/utility-scale_pv

Ok let’s compare real data then. Vogtle 3&4 are the latest nuclear plants to be completed in the US. They cost over 30 billion dollars for a capacity of 2.106GW. That’s >14.2 dollars/watt. Let’s be generous and assume nuclear has a 100% capacity factor (it doesn’t).
I can’t find real numbers for Moss Landing specifically, but NREL has data on BESS costs up to 10 hr storage at $4.2/watt. Let’s ignore that no grid in the country actually needs 10hr storage yet.
Utility scale solar has well known costs of ~1 dollar/watt. Let’s assume a capacity factor of 25%, so for equivalent total energy generation we are looking at $4.
$4 for solar, $4.2 for BESS, and since you’ll complain about not having 24hr baseline let’s add another equivalent 10hr storage system at $4.2. that’s a total of $12.4, compared to Vogtle’s $14.2.
Add in that the solar plus BESS would be built in 1-2 years, while Vogtle took well over a decade.
Also consider that BESS systems have additional value in providing peaking ability and frequency regulation, among other benefits.
Also consider that PV and batteries have always gotten cheaper over time, while nuclear has always gotten more expensive.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 4 months ago:
Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.

Mmmm, tastes like supply chain optimization.

It is news that they are now describing the transaction more accurately, once again thanks to California.
