Isn't it just a small amount of data? If the picture is small enough you could put it directly on the blockchain.

Dunno why you would though. It's very limiting for no particular gain.

Oh, I really liked 5. The switch to hexes and the removal of death stacks were pretty huge changes, but also excellent for the game. I'm a bit sick of Firaxis' tendency to release fundamentally unfinished games that only get completed once DLC have come out, though.

I did see that it's coming out soon! The different ages thing seems like a really neat idea.

But tbh I don't play it a whole lot recently anyway. Never played 6, and haven't even played 5 since around when 6 came out

No idea how many abstained, or of those that abstained, how many did so because of the Biden/Harris administration's support for the ongoing genocide.

But 3rd party? Even if 100% of the third party votes —even those who voted Libertarian or for that antivax nutter, who probably would have leaned Trump before Harris in reality anyway—had instead gone to Harris, Trump still would have won both the EC and the popular vote. 3rd party votes probably were a deciding factor in 2016 and they were definitely a deciding factor in 2000. But not this time.

It's been a while, but I believe this video was where I heard it. From memory (I'm out right now and can't rewatch to verify) it was specifically the per-kilometre carbon emissions, not taking into account manufacturing costs.

Obviously there's some fuziness depending on your diet and the power source used for charging. A vegan who would be charging in a coal-powered grid is going to look better, relatively speaking, for an analogue bike than someone who eats multiple kilos of red meat every week who has solar panels.

If you're Australian, Bali.

The lowest emission vehicle you can own is an electric bike.*

Will cost 1–4k and way less than $750 annually in maintenance. Can get a road-only one or one capable of going off-road. Does not require insurance or licensing. Can't legally drink and ride, but you're very unlikely to get caught if you do, and unlike drink driving the risk is overwhelmingly only to yourself.

Keeps you fit and healthy by being active in your daily life.

* yes, lower even than an analogue bike, because the electric motor is more carbon efficient than human muscle power which requires eating more.

You're not wrong, but Howard's was a very different matter, because he started the institutional vilification of refugees by making the public aware of what was previously (to use Morrison's language) on-water matters.

I actually can't remember what level I ended up. I think the first time I semi-retired was when 8 was still the cap, but I definitely grinded (ground?) a few more levels out during one of the times I came back. Definitely glad of my Onyx Guardian.

Oh damn, nice! I basically skipped Civ 4 just by chance. Huge amount of Civ 2: Test of Time when I was younger, touched on Civ 3 for a little while, and then Civ 5 is my 7th most-played game in Steam.

I was on alto. Definitely miss playing in big band.

Wow, that was...something. Completely dumps the rhyming "ee". If kids are having trouble with understanding elemeno, a better solution (IMO anyway, as someone who is not in any way an early learning educator) would be to just be more staccato with annunciating the l. m. n. o. peee.

 

TranscriptionA picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less
