Weird, I suppose you could also VM it but it tends to have a performance hit without optimised hardware. I wonder how they check the environment it runs in and if you can just lie to the checks.

Which ones don’t? I don’t play many MP games but non of the ones I have played have issues. Easy anticheat works for example, and you can run it in ring 3 and lie which is nice.

Basically every steam game just works, most other stuff just works with lutris, all retroarch emulators I’ve tried just work, there are obviously oodles of native linux games particularly Indies. Nvidia drivers mostly just work if you install proprietary (blurgh).

What doesn’t work?

Ecosystem stability is a myth, change is constant. Sometimes troublesome, but this doesn’t give us the right to be executioners.

if only we all found it as easy to find horny people IRL as on the net XD

Idk about you but I am so staggeringly beautiful that in order to walk amongst mere mortals without spreading insanity and obsession I must adopt a glamour.

My favoured form is a moderately athletic slightly be-tummied greying spinster.

The factorio devs are sexist, reactionary, arseholes :(

downvoted why? am I wrong? or are you just mad that they’re not as good as their game?

Do not sully the good name of the Peruvian people by implying I share a hemisphere with them.

Nobody is labelling plant based steak "cow steak (but not actually, it’s gluten lol. Gotcha!)

Go ahead, but be consistent and apply that label to oils, flour, sugar, starches, bread, and juices. They’re literally just spices and gluten ground together.

You’re a reactionary dumbarse using the status quo to argue for the status quo, which as I pointed out by inference would have us using the 13th century definitions if applied then. I guess you’re a bit thick for that though so there it is explicitly. You nong.

as to the rest. If you called it shoe based champagne, and it tasted like champagne and you printed the nutritional information on it why would I care? protected regions are dumb and people that defend them are stupid.

that’s… what it is. meat doesn’t grow on trees, you murder someone and take pieces of their corpse. you can say you think that’s good and fine but you can’t deny that’s what happens.

I’m going to assume this is good faith.

So lets talk about something different for a minute. Many people enjoy the taste of beer yes? but also alcohol is undeniably detramental to take as a drug. So people make stuff that is not beer, in the sense that it is not an alcoholic beverage, but is very similar. They call these products alcohol free beer. That’s pretty descriptive right? it’s going to taste like beer but it’s not alcoholic.

So steak say, obviously it means a certain anatomical piece of the desecrated corpse of a cow. But also it’s an experience, eating a steak. So if someone says “plant based steak” they’re describing that experience. They’re saying “hey this will have the texture and taste of something analogous to a lump of muscle from a corpse, but it’s made of plants” with the name.

I don’t see why this should be controversial, it’s just shorthand. What would you suggest they call it?

Firstly I am a non meat eater confused when I am seeing steaks labelled as meat, which I expect to be describing nourishing food in general (https://www.etymonline.com/word/meat). Similarly I am confused seeing dairy milk labelled as just milk when I seek certain saps and other reagents for my alchemy.

Secondly you obviously misunderstand what “rabid vegans” want or their goals. I am one, and I quite enjoy the taste of meat. I did not stop eating it because it was not pleasurable, I stopped eating it because I have worked in the processes that lead to it being neatly packaged in supermarkets and there is a rather alarming amount of suffering involved. So frankly I am very much interested in things that lack that suffering but taste the same, I would sacrifice my left hand to a dark god if it would lead to convincing crustacean flesh alternatives.

Yeah, if you want to keep them ready then bake them off above 100 C for 2 hours or so then whack em in something airtight so they don’t hydrate again.

You can actually buy silica gel beads with an indicator dye that goes from blue to purple when wet so you can tell at a glance if they’re ready.

you need to boil the water out of them before use btw

licensing your comments has the same energy as throwing salt over your shoulder.

Just to talk in international units to include everyone: I was under the impression it was supposed to operate at 1 mbar or 1/1000th of an atmosphere. That’s into the transition between viscious and molecular flow iirc (for air at normal temps anyway). You’re probably still pumping down with something like a scroll pump but it’s not very efficient anymore.

Thinking about the number of opportunies for leaks. Every joint, every screw, every pump connection. How they all shift against each other as the sun warms and cools them, how you relieve the strain without introducing pourous materials. It’s a fucking nightmare, and even if you manage all that you need to be pumping on it every few meters 24/7 to keep pressures that low with the realistic amount of leaks/in order to be able to pump down the local area where one occurs.

Like imagine if you needed a phat motor on every block to make roads work. The infrastructure demand is just unreal

I used to work in a vacuum lab and one thing to consider is pumping efficiency drops as pressure drops. So everything leaks all the time right, and one strategy is to just pump harder.

However at low pressurers nothing is pushing the air into the pump for extraction, something like a bend can stop gas flowing around it dramatically where in high pressure the gas behind just pushes it through. So it gets more and more energetically demanding to keep pace with leaks.

Also pressuring a giant tube to multiple atmospheres also sounds like a nightmare. It’s hard enough to keep pool toys inflated :p
