Easiest way to tell is by level. If you're level 12, then you're ready to finish the game and won't be far of being able to do so. That's the best way to guess time left, spoiler free. I've completed a run in 30 something hours, and I've got one that is like 60+ hours long with ages to go.

As someone with two young children, I find playing with childless friends much faster as they can be flexible and play when i find free time than with childed friends on set weekly scheduled.

Or this field research is going beyond correlation... "Over the past few years, scientists have begun to reveal the neural mechanisms that cause the human body to unravel when social needs go unmet. "

There's a few of us. I've been daily driving framework 13 Intel 12th gen over a year for work running fedora. It replaced a Microsoft surface who's battery life had died in 3 years (warranty replacement).

Really enjoyed using it tbh, and happy with having a clear upgrade pathway (I'll probably wait till the next 13 inch main boards get released). I love the idea of being able to change my i/o around, but realistically is just allowed my to settle on what I actually want. Turns out to be 2xusbC, microSD and usbA. If there ever is a mobile sim I'd get that, also am rs232.

It's not perfect though, and you pay more and give up some polish to get the modularity.

Battery life is middling but workable. Short story is I am concious of keeping it charged. Depending on the workload I can get to 6hrs, but that's really it. I never goto work without my charger, I also have taken to carrying a power brick in my backpack to cover the few times I've run it down and want to work on the train.

Video and microphone are not great, but usable. Most issues have been using linux in a Microsoft work environment related.

Speakers needed an easy effects re balance to be usable for video calls with anything but minor background noise.

My display port 2 adaptor died, as have many other users.

Screen wobbles more than I'd like, but not enough to get the upgraded hinges.

It's fairly loud when the fans spin up, but I'm normally doing something to upset it. Either working on a soft surface obstructing air flow or running a heavy work load.

Why use metric? Because the fact that 1440KiB is 1.41MiB is annoying.

It doesn't make it better, it's just really much more convenient when you're working in a base 10 digit system. There are lots of times when the advantages of an alternative unit system outweighs that convenience.

Its a funny thing that so many people are emotionally attached to unit systems. It's a tool, use the best one for the job.

That doesn't really mashed any sense, what's there to cover up. She was drinking with her husband and employees, became unresponsive followed by heavy vomiting.

It was her husband who was asking the police/ doctor for help.

Its not like she is aldi trying to apologise for running around abusing staff and pissing on others event stalls. What's there to cover up?

Nah good on you, fight the good fight. It wasn't series of mistakes it was deliberate policy choices. Policy choices that show no sign of being changed. Capitalism has eaten democracy from the inside out, it will continue dancing around inside is skin till we see it for what it is.

I mean, it's speculation. Current estimated completion is November this year, and the battery power price was already raised to 4c in 2020 estimated https://www.capdyn.com/news/capital-dynamics-and-8minute-solar-energy-partner-on-breakthrough-400mwac-eland/

This would still be cheaper than nuclear. But it's not a true comparison. I am asking the cost to replace fossil generation. Which means some degrees of over provisioning and redundancy. The bank of America paints a very different picture in its 2023 report (https://advisoranalyst.com/2023/05/11/bofa-the-nuclear-necessity.html/) but I hardly trust them.

Either way your evidence from anecdote makes it clear you have as little understanding as I do. So I am still none the wiser if solar + generation is a solution today that makes nuclear irrelevant. If it's not we can't just keep burning coal till it is though. People have been saying for 30 years let's just use renewables. But the world would look very different today if we had transition to nuclear energy back then.

Your statement disagrees with what I could turn up on duckduckgo. Can you provide your sources, I'm not a subject matter expert.

[–] mranachi@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yes, but your assertion that renewable is cheaper completely ignored the cost of grid scale energy storage suitable to remove fossil fuel generation.

That's a terrible analogy.

It's more like, imagine Fords required a connect to a server to run and they turned that server off, stopping a perfectly functional car you purchased from working.

Then you sued them to force them to make the car work without the server.
