Yeah, this is exactly the point of the "problem" OP complains about. Charge people for overproduction, so they're encouraged to buy a home battery and contribute in the night.

Eventually home batteries will become a standard part of such installations.

The answer is nuclear power.

I learnt Spanish like this. Mainly finishing Duolingo and downloading some textbooks and doing a few MOOC courses and listening to slow podcasts, and then watching basic movies.

Once I got to the point I could watch movies and TV, I would watch a movie almost every single day.

It's a lot of work, but to get to the point of speaking and listening it is necessary.

It took about 2 years in total - and then I started a job working in Spanish.

Sweden has devalued the currency massively (over 20% since 2020) - so it makes for cheap foreign investment.

I remember being like that with Morrowind.

Kerbal Space Program, Shadow Empire and Baldur's Gate 3.

That 19 trillion isn't spendable money at all though. Learn the difference between GDP and a budget.

We're already at high inflation, high interest rates and little to no growth - the situation is extremely precarious in Europe. We could easily end up like Argentina or Turkey.

We were already a lot poorer than the US, and now the gap is really opening up. At this rate China will overtake Europe by 2040 or so.

It's really the combination of the energy crisis (we are dependent on Russian gas or US LNG - we don't have enough nuclear), demographics crisis (the public pensions are unsustainable, and yet it continues to be forced upon workers having their income stolen by governments who almost certainly won't provide a pension for them in the future), and just a general lack of investment in the future infrastructure and technology (it's been over a decade, and we're still not ready for full electric vehicle switchover, nor is international high-speed rail competitive with airlines, etc.).

That is the same for all crops though - including those modified as hybrids, or by mutagenesis, which are allowed.

I agree that patents shouldn't be allowed on genetics (and software for that matter) - but that's unrelated to the specific gene editing ban here (CRISPR, etc.)

I prefer BG3, as DOS2 has the awkward separate armour systems - so you're forced to either target physical or magical armour specifically.

Also BG3 has Baldur's Gate which is awesome with all the city quests, etc. - lot of quests you can do entirely with stealth.

[-] nivenkos@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

D:OS2 didn't have the branching questlines though - BG3 added a lot too, but I agree the main base of the game was there.

But yeah they're the only developer I will preorder from.
