Climate change is a bitch, huh, Republicans who've spent thirty years denying it? (My heart goes out to all the people in the southeast who actually didn't spend decades denying its existence and hampering efforts to slow it.)

>Bad dogs do not exist

>It's consequently impossible for the guns to fall into the paws of bad dogs

It's flawless.

This is thoroughly untrue. Joshua and the Promised Land is the greatest piece of media of our generation.

At least for right now it's just a test on a 100-meter length of track, but this reeks of a startup trying to innovate its way out of NIMBYs not wanting to put solar panels where they actually belong without considering why nobody has put solar panels in the middle of a railroad track before (cough rocks, dust, wildlife, vibration, and vandalism cough).

PV Magazine is neat for reading about potential new innovations, but one thing I really dislike about it is that it basically just regurgitates what solar companies say about themselves in press releases in a way that's completely uncritical. For instance:

Similarly, removal and installation tests will be carried out to demonstrate that the Sunways pilot installation is perfectly adapted to the constraints related to maintenance work and the operation of the line.

“What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat ’em, and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are going to win wars.”

Hugely reassuring to me that this psychopath was a captain in the Navy.

It isn't, but to be fair, it absolutely does add an additional layer of irony that they weren't even born there.

Yes, here's a video when this was done in 2008.

Come on, Monk. Everyone here is familiar with your long-winded Gish gallop comments at this point. I know Stein is doing the same song and dance she did in 2016, but that doesn't mean you can't innovate either.

At face value, I'd agree; for a second I even thought this was a redemption arc, but then I realized you just put this here to get her name additional visibility since your pro-Stein articles otherwise get drowned out with downvotes here. "Bad publicity is better than no publicity".

I'm just admiring your commitment to your work. Not everyone has the work ethic to keep this up for two months straight.

Technology has slowed down, but there's also diminishing returns for what you can do with a game's graphics etc.

• The original Halo ran at 480p on the Xbox. 4K UHD has 27 times the number of pixels as that. The resolution increase from the NES to Halo was about 5.35 times.
• Games nowadays on PCs are often capable of running smoothly into the hundreds of frames per second, but of course for example the difference between 21 and 30 FPS is more noticeable than the one between 231 and 240 FPS. (Looking at you, OoT)
• Render distances are much larger with less obvious compromise on LoD.
• Stuff like ray-tracing is of some graphical benefit but is hugely computationally taxing, and there's nothing you can do about that. It's just more diminishing returns.
• Physics engines are much more complex.
• At some point, a limiting factor just becomes art direction and budget. You can have all the fancy techniques you want, but you still need to make detailed textures, animations, etc.
• The amount of polygons starts to hit a ceiling too where the model is basically continuous to the human eye, so adding more polys might only help very subtly.
• Color depth is basically a solved problem now too compared to going from the NES to the Xbox.

You can think of sampling audio. If I have a bit depth of 1, and I upgrade that to 16, it's going to sound a hell of a lot more like an improvement than if I were to upgrade from 48 to 64.
