The thing is this: The safer Microsoft can be that Windows is the only thinkable OS for their users, the less risk there is when integrating Anti-User features.
To its users it is therefore important to know about alternatives. If you make Microsoft scared that users change OS, the product Windows will become better.
This is true even if you don’t change your OS.

With higher carbon levels will there be a better RUBISCO? I always wonder how nature could make such an atrocity.
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 month ago:
With one layer the case is simple. There is a certain light energy at which the conversion of light to current occurs called gap energy. If the light energy is lower than that no conversion can happen and if the light energy is higher the extra energy is converted to heat and only gap energy remains.
Filtering UV would be a loss but a small one.

My least favourite character is Wyll so in my next run he will be my avatar. What multiclass do you recommend with Warlock? I (ofc) already did paladin and sorcerer.

I played and enjoyed both. They feel very different. Divinity was built without the pen and paper foundation and solasta is very true to DnD 5e. While 5e is nice for roleplay where in theory everything is possible, it lacks in a videogame setting. I don’t go into detail here but in all DOS2 feels more like a complete game that isn’t hold back by sticking to a rulebook that was designed for something else.
As already mentioned, DOS2 also has premade Characters on with the story builds. Solasta focuses on ‘White Canvas’ characters which I like.

I’m waiting for the BaldursGate3 update but until then I grabbed solasta. Also DnD based and more chill than BG3 but very fun. I love that you can design and play a whole party instead of just the “main char” like BG3.

I’m a physicist. If you are an engineer that sounds like a “you” problem.

I always wondered what would happen if you cite an original source of something we consider common sense now. What would nature say if you use conservation of momentum and cite Isaac Newton and the Principia Mathematica.
What if you quote something in latin. For most of science history this was completely normal.

It’s the Sound they make and a phenomenon called Sand liquification . Basically it means that Vibrations and Air turn Sand in a liquid like state.
