I've been enjoying that fact lately, it's been nice to have actual conversations with people, to actually have my thoughts challenged in healthy ways and to have my mind change and to change the minds of others without the intensity that predominates a lot of other sites. I feel I can talk to people here

There's an app, and I'm sure others like it, called Tidy Panel that lets you block notifications based on the content they have. The free version let's you block a handful, but you need premium for unlimited. For you, the free might be enough.

"Already" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, by the time the game comes out it will have been 9 years since Civ 6. That's 3 years longer than the gap between 5 and 6 which is the next longest gap in the series. At this point they're vastly limited in the things they can do without a complete overhaul on base mechanics we've been playing with for nearly a decade.

Would you rather they completely overhaul the current game and the original mechanics be lost to time? Of course not, the obvious next step is to make a new game.

This was absolutely necessary. Car manufacturers have been abusing the previous rules which had lesser requirements for "light trucks". Have you noticed how almost all 'cars' nowadays are the size of an SUV? This is a huge change and will affect so many more things positively(less fatal accidents for one) than JUST miles per gallon.

This is incredibly important to keep in mind as we enter election season, if you have the means please donate to on the ground campaigns in these or similar areas. Every bit helps

You can block the elements with ublock and the page loads just fine, in case anyone wanted to look through Tumblr without an account

To balance it out and give to charity regardless of the outcome, I'll donate $50 if you're right. That way there's always something good happening even if it may be small.

So correct, the best kind of correct behind technically!

A single use of an MRI doesn't use 2000 liters, that is the upper end of a hospitals ENTIRE supply of helium. On average an MRI users 70 Liters per MONTH of operation. You're literally just spewing bullshit at this point, have a fun time being completely misinformed on things that upset you greatly, I'm going to go play games

Alright, did some research, first off you're wrong about this being the reason even if this was a plausible reason. The real reason is the ash and heat divertors failed.

Second, you don't even need liquid helium for super conduction. Here's a few closed loop helium gas coolers that get to 10 kelvin. They need to be refilled on the scale of years, not from a single test.

I get you care deeply about helium loss but this is the last thing you should be accidentally spreading misinformation about. This process literally creates more helium then it uses.

That doesn't mean that they didn't have enough. The world being in the process of losing helium as a whole doesn't mean these researchers "ran out" of it. If they knew they needed it, they would have purchased it, so unless the world has run out of helium already then they didn't run out of it. You act like noone there could calculate exactly how much helium this uses per second and just buy x seconds worth of helium.

Yes, absolutely... But everyone reading this is already on the fediverse lmao
