  • Would it be cool if all planets of the same type weren't a single climate stereotype? Sure. When you're going to visit multiple tens of different planets in a single play session, does that actually matter? Probably not.

    Agreed. Multiple biomes on a single planet would be cool, at the cost of probably an order of magnitude more complexity on the procedural generation engine, but functionally the difference would be trivial when traveling to the other side of the planet to visit the "snow" or "desert" region (if your planet even has one) is about as difficult as just flying to another system with an ice or desert planet.

    Can it be done? Probably. Would it be cool? Yes. Would it have a dramatic impact on gameplay? Probably not.

  • On the flip side, living in a place Google doesn't index properly, I've found adding stuff to OSM to be infinitely easier than adding/correcting things on Google Maps. Google just has the advantage of already having 99% of stuff on it

  • Even better, transfer those subsidies to plant agriculture so no one can complain "you're gonna make food more expensive for people who can barely afford it". And raise the minimum wage, because "barely affording food" should not be a problem in today's society.

  • Use it? The US invented it. The US has historically funded it as part of their human rights initiatives. Like I said:

    Also many of the sponsored projects help people circumvent authoritarian government overreach, which is something that until recently has been considered "good" for the US. The more freely information can flow the harder it is for authoritarian regimes to exert control.

    Given the nature of the Tor network, it's likely any "official" use within the US government would probably involve things like communicating with people working undercover / informants, etc., and not be something broadly discussed.

    The message is everywhere: You (alone) can save the planet

    Choose a veggie burger instead of beef. Book this flight, not that one. Buy thrift over fast fashion. Shrink your "carbon footprint."

    But here's what most people don't know: The very concept of a personal carbon footprint originated with oil giant British Petroleum (BP). In 2004, BP launched a carbon calculator to persuade people to measure their personal climate impacts. The campaign worked — shifting our collective gaze from fossil fuel companies, the biggest drivers of the climate crisis, to individuals like you and me.

    Two decades later and with climate disasters rapidly intensifying, we're still caught in this sleight-of-hand. Choices made by corporations and governments continue to shape the speed and scale of climate disruption, while marketing campaigns around climate action try to shift our focus to consumer decisions.

    New WRI research tells a different story. Our data shows that pro-climate behavior chang

  • But there is a lot of growth. Which makes me wonder why people say to not compost citrus peels.

    That was my reaction too! I read the headline and immediately thought "oh god they killed it didn't they". I was shocked to find out it was a resounding success, at least in comparison to the alternative of doing nothing.

    It's probably got something to do with local soil ecology or rainfall amounts, so there may still be some merit to not composting your orange peels, but this definitely makes me want to learn more about why this guidance is so heavily repeated.

    At least repost the latest version

    I feel like a version of this guide gets reposted weekly, but it's always out of date.

    u/theFallenWalnut over on that other site updates these regularly.

    They also now link to [email protected] but I don't see anything posted there. Maybe a better place to start reposting these
