Fantastic interview. The creators are exactly as dynamic and open as you would expect.

The linux moment is when you setup stash to index and sort it all for you.

i mean, edward was 100% fey already. Sparkles in the daylight vampires? Come the fuck on. Thats fairy shit through and through.

Its not. Its still experimental, but geothermal is showing real promise for clean, steady state power pretty much anywhere with no fuel requirements.

Some estimates place the power potential of geothermal in the US to be around 20% of power needs. Because of how stupid the US is, it also has broad political support here because of its use of oil and gas drilling tech to make the heat channels. The GOP likes that it enriches their donors, dems like that its clean power.

A lot, but somehow not enough.

Shes basicslly the only billionare currently donating her fortune away. Ideally that fortune would never have existed, but at least shes largely doing that herself.

Hopefully you save some vitrol for the billionares shattering the planet and not just for the one who actually, somewhat agrees that they have too much money and are doing something about it.

For the others that didnt know what a Marut is:

Marut. The nigh-unstoppable inevitables serve a singular purpose: they enforce contracts forged in the Hall of Concordance in the city of Sigil. Primus, the leader of the modrons, created maruts and other inevitables to bring order to dealings between planar folk. Many creatures, including yugoloths, will enter into a contract with inevitables if asked.

Cosmic Enforcers. The Hall of Concordance is an embassy of pure law in Sigil, the City of Doors. In the hall, two parties who agree to mutual terms—and who pay the requisite gold to the Kolyarut, a mechanical engine of absolute jurisprudence—can have their contract chiseled onto a sheet of gold that is placed in the chest of a marut. From that moment until the contract is fulfilled, the marut is bound to enforce its terms and to punish any party who breaks them. A marut resorts to lethal force only when a contract calls for it, when the contract is fully broken, or when the marut is attacked.

Word Is Law. Inevitables care nothing for the spirit of an agreement, only the letter. A marut enforces what is written, not what was meant by or supposed to be understood from the writing. The Kolyarut rejects contracts that contain vague, contradictory, or unenforceable terms. Beyond that, it doesn’t care whether both parties understand what they’re agreeing to. A small army of solicitors waits outside the Hall of Concordance, eager to sell their expertise in the crafting or vetting of contracts.

Constructed Nature. A marut doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Actions

Multiattack. The marut makes two slam attacks.

Unerring Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: automatic hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 60 force damage, and the target is pushed up to 5 feet away from the marut if it is Huge or smaller.

Blazing Edict (Recharge 5–6). Arcane energy emanates from the marut’s chest in a 60-foot cube. Every creature in that area takes 45 radiant damage. Each creature that takes any of this damage must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of the marut’s next turn.

Justify. The marut targets up to two creatures it can see within 60 feet of it. Each target must succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or be teleported to a teleportation circle in the Hall of Concordance in Sigil. A target fails automatically if it is incapacitated. If either target is teleported in this way, the marut teleports with it to the circle.

After teleporting in this way, the marut can’t use this action again until it finishes a short or long rest.

“Muslims” is often used in a racist way to mean brown people, not just refer to a religious group. “Jews” is used in the same way, to refer to an ethnic group as often as a religion.

The two are used by racists in almost the exact same way. “Christians” are mainly white, so racists dont often attack them at all, especailly since a large contingent of the racists are christian.

He cut off your heat and you asked him if he liked cold showers?

Did he turn you heat back on at least?

Good point. That had heart, as usual.

People had a lot of shit to say about the superman movie trailer too, but it was a really good movie that had more emotional impact than the last 10 marvel movies put together.

Im inclined to let them run here, no matter how superficial it looks at first glance.

Dodge ram and up.

Finished Hades 2 recently. Amazing game, amazing story, art and acting are superb.

Then the nuremburg trials.

Looks dried, likely used as bait for deer hunting based on the hi vis gear.

Hunting big fucking deer.

The non snarky answer : they tested both for 3 years and found hydrogen much faster to refuel, leading to less downtime and letting them reduce the robot fleet by 20%.

This is partly “american exceptionalism” at play too. Our cultural identity worships the individual maverick while hating a cohesive group.

Datacenters are generally not build near other things, and when they are, they use the cheapest and easiest way to shed heat, not the options that require coordination with city/state/etc to use that waste heat responsibly.

I know the finland is doing some interesting things with giant heat sand batteries. That seems like an easy win to mandate for datacenters to provide. Then a municipality could “hook up” to it and use the heat how they see fit.

I also think datacenters should be required to to coat every external surface in solar panels, including their parking lots with solar canopies. It wont offset their power usage by much, but its literally the least they can do for the surrounding community.

Cross your path is literal. Its when youre going North or South, and they are going East or West. Your two paths make a cross.

You can argue it, but it wont mean much after you shoot someone with it.

Thats what the federation did here. They used a “technically not a cloak” to “cloak” their ships. Technical discussions about whether a “Cloak is a cloak or not” are moot when you cloak with it.
