What's also interesting is that you have to factor in the costs and CO2 emissions of the fuel source and it's delivery method. A new building code for a county in my area was adopted which requires calculations for energy efficient HVAC systems and also CO2 emissions with those systems. Surprisingly, natural gas has less CO2 emissions associated with it, while electricity is 2.86 times as much. This is because grid electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuels, then needs to be delivered to the site but there are many losses along the way. So even if the all electric equipment is twice as efficient as the equivalent natural gas equipment, it still contributes more CO2 production. This is part of the issue with phasing out natural gas and moving to all electric in its current state. But with that is the push (and requirements) to produce energy on site and shift towards net zero energy for commercial sites, which is definitely better than using grid power from an emissions standpoint.

Please yes please I cannot wait!!

Honestly I agree. I think it's a great game though, at least what it has become, but I think I keep getting disappointed with certain things that are just an issue with the core mechanics of the game. There's only so much value to adding tons of content if the game is dull at its core.

I have over 350 hours in NMS but every time I try to pick it back up I realize why I stopped before.

I've seen this debate about the outcome of the moving portal. I'm pretty certain that because of inertia, and the people aren't moving, they will just plop out the other side. Think of it like moving a hoola hoop through the people. That's basically what the portal is.

The hoola hoop has inertia and is moving, but it doesn't actually come in contact with the people, so it passes right around them. There's no way for the people to have instant acceleration because the porta did, otherwise it'd be like them hitting a brick wall and they would probably explode

For some people, everything has to be a conspiracy. Logical, easily verifiable reasons for things can't possibly be the truth to them. Especially if it comes from the opposing political party, it is automatically false to them. Even if verifiable.

Honestly I wasn't sure of the benefit either, but your response makes so much sense. I don't know why there always has to be conspiracies for obvious stuff.

As an American Engineer, the US measurement system disgusts me. The rest of the world uses SI, but my entire industry (and most of the US) uses the English system still and I absolutely hate it. Converting from ft to inches, or BTUs and tons, cubic feet, etc. Our lazy asses haven't joined the rest of the world yet. I wish we would just force the change and get over it

But in the US it unfortunately is. The right has made it a political "stance" while it's just a matter of human rights. It shouldn't be political, but it is and it pisses me off

Unrelated but this made me think of this chill ambient music artist I used to listen to named Exist Strategy
