    I am sorry guys, old man here, but 1997 was the best year for gaming:

    • Diablo
    • Fallout
    • Quake II
    • Ultima Online
    • Ages of Empires
    • Final Fantasy 7
    • Grand Turismo
    • Golden Eye 007
    • Starfox 64
    • Crash Bandicoot II
    • Tomb Raider II
    • PaRappa the Rapper

    How the hell do you beat that? Most of the games released yearly are sequels to these games.





  • Three things that should always be ran by government: healthcare, education and prisons.

    They must exist, and privately owned ones will always have wrong base incentive.

    With prisons especially, it is not the interest of private to rehabilitate, but to get people in prison loop. It just cannot work. It is just easy to sell to people because people want prison to be punishment facility.









  • Large scale three phase energy generation is always something rotating in sync with the grid. Easiest way to do that is to spin turbine+generator.

    All nuclear, coal, biomass power plants just heat water to 300-800°C and push it through turbine.

    The thing is that it is really quite robust, and there isn’t any other good solutions to it. They do have quite a lot of loss, but the cooled water after process (still over 100°C) can be used in other industries or district heating improving the efficiency.

    Hydropower just spin the turbine with water flow. Wind directly spins the turbine, which is good for efficiency. Solar panels are still quite inefficient, but because they just use space, they make lot of sense even with poorer efficiency.
