Another day, another greeting. Nighties lovelies!

Also: there’s quite a few of us, but not for too long yet…

If you’re wondering what’s happening after 1500 and around 1600-1700 right before the industrial revolution, that’s the impact of globalizing American crops such as potato and corn, which increased notoriously the food supply in Europe and Asia.

After 1500 there was a lot more people which made wood scarce in europe because it was used for heating houses and building them, coal became more mined and with such an energetic and practical fuel the steam engine was more viable to operate in large numbers. The steam engine made human and animal muscle power go unused and the amount of people who had to work somewhere went up, it was then when the factories could pay minimal survival wages and machines were augmenting the production massively. Then people rebelled and said they want more of that what was produced, and they had to be paid more. Politicians had to adapt and socialism arise, fighting with capitalism. Then people suddenly went back thinking about Earth when the photo of it from space showed its without borders, its one ecosystem. We live in time when the future is still decided and nothing is sure.

Estimated number of people on Earth if we would still be using medieval methods and crops is something around 1 Billion in year 2000. Not taking into account plagues or improved medicine.

Also: construction p0rn

Without ever have worked in construction, I knew both most of those machines AND their names in Spanish… :sweat_smile:

…and I still have an absolutely lovely set of colorful plastic miniatures my grandma brought from a trip to Andorra, and maybe a couple of the universally loved cast metal scale models.

It’s a clear case of a man who should have asked a woman about his idea… :smile:

Also: “How real is…” videos are always fun to watch!

The thing with nuclear epxlosions is that they’re so fast that if you blink, you miss it. And whatever your fate is, it’s sealed before your brain even begins to process. Whether you’re disintegrated, incinerated, irradiated, blinded, burned or set ablaze, it will happen in a fraction of a second and at the speed of light. If you live enough to notice that something bad is going on but you’re still uninjured, your chances to survive are dramatically higher than if you’re close enough to die or begin dying without warning. And all in all, when a nuke goes off, the safest place to be is on another planet…

There were fallout shelters build also, but they would have to be really close to everyday living spaces, and of course alarms would have to be sunded when the missiles start flying. The most dangerous were close range missiles that can be launched from the submarines. Its combination of many factors how survivable that is. People underground who could have go to a basement to get a jar of gherkins could survive accidentally even without alarm and close to the impact, only thing that would get them would be the fallout, and if they dont have radio to realize what happened, they would probably get some radiation poisoning while checking what happened. :thinking:

I actually felt guilty in logging in with all of my accounts to take that 25 and capped it with only the accounts that had been active in the past few months.

Even then I felt guilty about receiving that 25 fee plex on this account so today I decided to give that away.

I don’t think that plex was meant for me on more than one account.

I was aware fo the 25 plex, but…

a, couldn’t figure how much they’re worth…
b, have no idea nor care what could I spend them on…
c, spent all weekend playing War Thunder and Chimeraland and completely forgot about the plex giveaway

Nighties lovelies!

PS: d), now that I think of it, Ish and Yiole probably still have some plex remaining from the Aurum giveaway…

I played that game. I didn’t like. Don’t even know exactly why, lol.
I’ve been trying some games the past few days. Both the Subnauticas, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Space Mechanics sim, Terra Invicta, Empirion Galaxy Survival, Ultimate Admiral Dreadnought. None of them new games, just upgraded or out of early access.
I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Terra Invicta and Empirion is a sim lover’s dream. The others are just okay, more work is needed.
On the EVE front, I got recruited by a corporation. Can fly t3 covert ops although I wouldn’t know how to fly it if I undocked today.
Lost a Sigil in 0.4. It was empty and from a career agent. No big deal. I thought my Warp Stabilizer would help but it did nothing so that will be some savings when I don’t buy it next time I fit a ship, lol.

Everyone please take good care of yourselves. :sparkling_heart:

Did it miss to lower the seat of the non-adapted cubicle…? :thinking:

I guess you mean War Thunder? I do tend to play PvP games (which tells a lot of my 8 years as a highseccer in EVE Online) and then I also tend to play the same game for as long as I find a goal to do it. After 4,300 hours playing WT I’m still not done (not completely), and I’m still a mediocre-to-bad player at it. But it keeps me busy, allows me to vent out bad stuff and won’t stop playing it until I find something I like better.

I no longer miss EVE. i wish that all the time and money and passion would have come to something better than they did, but EVE Online it’s just a game after all, and not a very good one, in a sense.

And it has some cool (but worthless and useless) avatars, just look:

What a fine virtual girl for a character engine 12 years old…

And now i’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!
