The mainstream consoles nowadays basically are locked-down computers anyway, so makes sense that people are skipping the live-services middleman and going straight to PC

Unless you care about exclusives, then PCs are the better all-rounder IMO, and don’t need a yearly payment on top of your internet bill

Good resellers do, but I think my point still stands - why risk any of that when Microsoft doesn’t get your money either way?
MAS/Massgrave works effectively, is open source, is well-documented, and literally free.

Considering the grey market is filled with dodgy keys, it’d be better to just pirate, especially when there are easy and safe ways to do it like with MAS

If you must have MS office, then I’d go with MAS/Massgrave like others have said.

It’s well documented, requires minimal setup (if going default route), and is much less risky than going into the grey market for keys or downloading cracks elsewhere.

Exactly. If they’d gone with the carrot approach rather than the stick, I bet way more people would’ve just gone with it for way less fuss

Sure, but then as I said you’re comparing apples to oranges. You’re comparing the product of human birth to a chicken period, which just aren’t equal.

In any case, I think this is just gonna go round in circles, so I’m going to stop here - have a good one

Sure that true for a chicken - but a human’s unfertilised egg/ovum doesn’t come with any of that. As such what you’re saying doesn’t make sense.

The human equivalent of an unfertilised chicken egg is their period, which is what I was referring to above.

The only way you could get what you said is with a very well past fertilised human egg, and at that point you’re comparing apples to oranges.

The stem - even if the other side is more optimal, I hate the brown bit, so I prefer to open at the stem (which isn’t usually that hard) and throw that part away when I get to the end.

True, but I’d argue the first guy still has a point. Balut is a speciality food item and not mass produced in anywhere near the same capacity as regular eggs - so while you can find them, if you’re buying eggs you’re almost certainly not going to accidentally buy Ballut eggs.

Most commercially sold eggs aren’t actually fertilised, they’re essentially chicken periods. As such the human equivalent would really only be blood, a barely visible ovum, and any visible remains of the uteral wall that was shed.

There are definitely fertilised eggs sold (see the photo @65gmexl3 shared), but if you’re literally just buying normal eggs off the shelf, they aren’t going to be those ones.

In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can’t anymore.

I’d love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I’d play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.

Congrats to Team 0% - the “last level” may have been a somewhat unceremonious fake out, but the fact of the matter is they can hold their heads up high and say they’ve beaten every completeable SMM level

At the point where Putin can quite easily have any popular opposition stricken from the ballot, imprisoned, or worse still coincidentally fall from a building or endure some “freak accident”, is there all that much use in pretending any opposition ever had a chance to win?

The absolute gut-punch at the end of Jurassic Bark still kills me every time - the only silver-lining is that Bender’s Big Score gives Seymour the ending he always deserved

Ignoring the fact that you’re clearly high as a kite - it’s all tricks your brain does to conserve resources. Without any focus or filter, your brain would very quickly spread it’s resources too thinly, and subsequently burn out.

It is much easier for your brain to process a lot of data about a small number of things, than a small amount of data on many, many things.

That’s the theoretically part - there are processes that will capture the energy generated that would’ve otherwise become heat, but that only affects the timeliness. Given enough time, all workable energy generated by a heater would become heat, even if you had to wait for the matter itself to decay trillions of years from now when all the stars have long since breathed their last breath.

Also has somebody watched Technology Connections by any chance?
Heat pumps are so cool - if you showed onw to someone even a hundred years ago, even knowing what electricity was, they’d think it was magic.

Because it will always take more energy to break the water than you will get burning the Hydrogen in Oxygen back into water - it’s basic thermodynamics.

You will lose some energy as heat that you cannot get back*.

You can’t power a car from a process that loses energy. Even if you use a battery to donate the lost energy, then you might as well just cut out the lossy middleman and just run off the battery or generate the Hydrogen elsewhere - which is what we currently do.

It is better to think of Hydrogen as an energy transporter than as a fuel, as you’d need to generate the Hydrogen somewhere that has abundant energy (ideally renewable), then transport I where needed, such as a Hydrogen powered generator.

*Interestingly the fact that all processes generate waste heat means the only theoretically 100% energy efficient process is heat generation itself, as all forms of energy eventually degrade to heat (as it is essentially the universe’s waste energy).
