But think of all the space that would take! If you replant forests where are we going to put our superhighways and parking lots?

It's Starship Troopers. A sci-fi novel that was later adapted into a movie series. Notably the first movie is a parody of the hyper-militaristic, borderline fascist undertones of American style democracy. The book, on the other hand, was popular in the 1960s.

You forgot the part where he was screaming, "I'm hit! I'm hit!"

I know it's a long article guys, but it worth your time. This summary is a mess and completely removes crucial details, including all the quotes the summary alludes to. If you've got 30 minutes and are genuinely interested give it a read or a listen.

Using the larger, potentially more durable, joysticks would mean a larger potentially less portable Switch. Given that portability is the core feature of the Switch I can understand Nintendo's reluctance to implement them. Especially when other companies are experiencing similar issues with their sticks. In my opinion a novel approach is the way to go here. Hall effect is nice, but it is costly and could potentially present some legal challenges at the moment.

I've encountered two noticeable issues while using these. The first is probably just shit tier QA, but the second could be that or a design flaw. I haven't taken the time to tear one apart and reverse engineer it, so I can't say for sure what the cause is. Anywho, about a third of my sticks will wig out and send complete garbage data when they are pushed to their maximum on one axis. Sometimes it is the X, sometimes it is the Y. Either way it makes the impossible to use and I actually did remove those and replace them. Of the remaining sticks a number of them will depress the under stick button if pushed all the way in one direction. It's pretty easy to avoid this and it rarely matters so these ones I left alone and didn't bother to count how many displayed the behavior.

They probably don't want to use that particular design anyway. I've run into a good number of headaches with those joysticks. Not bad enough for me to pull them back out, but certainly enough to be annoying.

Power generation and power use need to be synchronous. Renewables generate power at rates outside of our control. In order to smooth out that generation and bring a level of control back to power distribution we would need a place to store all the energy. Our current methods are not dense enough and are extremely disruptive/damaging to the environment. Nuclear gives us a steady and predictable base level of generation that we can control. Which would make it so we don’t need to pump vast quantities of water into massive manmade reservoirs or build obnoxiously large batteries.

That is barely even the start of what we need. It would do us better to embrace public transit and densification. If we all just switched to small cars instead it wouldn't solve the underlying issues with car dependent infrastructure. We'd still have wide swaths of useful land buried under miles of concrete and asphalt. We'd still have urban spaces that are hostile to anyone not in a automobile (admittedly somewhat less so). My commute time is nearly doubled simply because all of the parking lots I have to walk through. There's no need (outside of accommodating drivers) for everything to be separated by so much empty space.

“Please do not run the AC. Do run the fans, drink water, take breaks outside in the breeze. Sorry”

I’m not even going to make an attempt at the name.

The problem with that is lost time. It’s not much, but it can be a bit of a headache especially on things like repair videos.

What I typically do is listen to some music. I have a collection of soundtracks from some of my favorite video games. I pick a couple of pieces from the whole collection and let the music lead me through my memories. It’s not too far off from the feeling of going through an old photo album. I imagine one could get a similar effect by returning to any number of things that they used to enjoy.
