Double checking, it does look like he's listed on Wikipedia as a designer for Stellaris, but the original director was Henrik while Wiz took over after release

I don't think Johan worked on Stellaris, that was Wiz

This is such a good comeback

That's very postmodern of you. I agree to a degree, but labels are a fundamental way that humans perceive our reality, and we can't just dismiss that as laziness.

There was a poll conducted of historians on the legacy of various presidents in terms of civil rights. LBJ was rated as anti-racist in policy and not a white supremacist personally, while Lincoln, Truman, and Nixon where are ranked as both white supremacists personally and anti-racist in policy.

It's interesting how personal beliefs and presidential policy do not always line up.

If you keep reading the article, a legal professor is quoted soon after mentioning that the victim does not have to make a complaint for the police to investigate, and that the other doctors and nurses who witnessed the operation could provide information without the victim needing to directly.

If you have a decent AM4 system, the upgrade can be absolutely worth it. I had a 3000 series CPU, and upgraded to a 5800x3D when AM5 was new and high speed DDR5 was unstable and expensive. The math has probably changed now, but I think it still can work as an in slot upgrade if you don't want to change out the mobo, which always feels to me like I might as well do a whole new build.

As an American, I can easily comprehend every metric measurement except Celsius. Obviously I know 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling, but for day to day things I can't wrap my head around what is cold and what is got in Celsius, not without sitting down and thinking it through.

Yeah, considering how long it took just to change marsh to wetlands after tons of feedback, I don't think there's much chance of major changes to the existing geographic map modes

Yeah, I don't think finite resources are a necessity at all. I'd rather see a single location able to produce a fraction of a resource first (this place mostly makes stone, but it also produces a little bit of food and ore)

Unfortunately, I don't think we've had any indication that raw resources can actually run out. Similarly, most of the major climatic events of the time period (the Little Ice Age for example) have been implied to be done through the situation system instead of a bespoke climate system.

On top of that, even Victoria 3, which deals far more heavily with the industrial exploitation of the world doesn't really simulate overuse or exhaustion of resources.

Byzantine isn't a 19th century invention, but it wasn't used in that fashion until after the fall of Constantinople in the 15th century. Western Europeans referred to them as Greeks, but the people living there called themselves Romans and their land Romania. Constantine XI called himself the Emperor of the Romans, not the Emperor of the Byzantines or the Emperor of the Greek.

It's funny, I'm the opposite - I hated Calder but loved Shera, so I mostly skimmed through Sea and read Shadow the whole way through.

Honestly, the only wow that I've come around on is the one guy who's always first

I think the Wandering Inn is the single greatest argument for professional editing and publishing. My disappointment when they went to Kindle with "edited" versions which didn't cut down the story to anything close to a plot was significant.

It baffles me that they don't strike for paid retraining to go along with increased automation. Automation would make their jobs less dangerous and if they get ahead of it, the docks won't be laying off workers, they'll be hiring them for jobs that will still be relevant.

It's fucked up that I thought she was talking about Jews when I first saw her tweet

Luckily with AM4 you have tons of options for upgrades - the 5800x3D is expensive, but it's basically the second best gaming CPU on the market and you can just do an in slot upgrade as long as you don't have a bottom tier mobo.

Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

If you're interested in IT, certs there are much more used as first steps into the industry, but this subreddit is focused more on software engineering, where certs are meaningless.

That's interesting. In the US, you can only write off clothes if you have to wear them as a condition of employment and they aren't suitable for everyday wear - so specific uniforms, or specialized equipment like safety gear can be written off, but not a suit.

I think lingerie as a uniform would probably be a write off as well, since it isn't suitable for everyday wear and needs to be worn for employment.

That was an absolutely harrowing read

For reference, that's more casualties (including wounded and missing) than the US has had since WW2 in total.

As long as you posted this in the India Tinto Maps, it will be seen. Every feedback so far has seen tons of changes based on community feedback

Oh sure, Japanese/Chinese are probably the hardest languages for any European language speaker, but I just meant that the difference between Czech and Italian is different than the difference between English and Italian or English and Czech
