Stardew creator won't rush Haunted Chocolatier: "better to have a good delayed game than a bad game on time"
  • $1,000,000 depending on context, isn't enough to comfortably live on forever. Especially if you're talking about net worth, and not available cash.

    Even if it was cash, invested properly, you could expect to have $30,000 annually safely, which is basically minimum wage or less in many cities.

    It's life changing money for sure, but I don't think you could say that being a millionaire means you're wealthy, it just means that you have a lot of freedom in life choices.

  • Nonbinary rule
  • Should never rely on a safety for that, though a gun in a proper holster should be impossible to discharge.

    Guns should never be tucked into a waistband without a proper holster.

  • Woman Stuck in Tesla For 40 Minutes With 115 Degrees Temperature During Vehicle Update
  • It's perfectly understandable to not want to damage a $$$ car. Tesla needs to provide better information on how to manage these situations.

    She clearly knew how to self rescue, so the whole situation was just bed communication and planning on Tesla's part. Also, if things got more dire, she would have absolutely used the manual option.

    Joe Rogan Exposes Alarming IQ Numbers of the American Population – “We’re Really F***ed…”
  • Wow, that whole article just shows how dumb Rogan is. He used an online IQ test to prove he's a genius and then "researched" online to see that IQ is lower recently in the US?

    The whole article is repeating what a stupid person thinks about a study. And there is nothing about what the study actually says, or what it means.

    There's lots of ways to measure intelligence, and IQ isn't really the best one.

  • Japanese angst as India set to become 4th largest economy
  • Read the article again. Japan has a slower economic growth than the world average.

    This is from a number of factors, including that they are a highly developed economy with less head room, BUT also because the workforce is aging out. They have fewer young people.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan

    They have a declining population, and the median age is much older than most countries. This is absolutely a major reason for their lack of economic growth.

  • Japanese angst as India set to become 4th largest economy
  • Immigration, and change the work culture to reduce the amount of time at your job.

    Japan needs people, and they're not having babies.

    They need time to socialize, they need time to relax, they need time to just exist outside of a job.

  • The standard backup question
  • Yeah, it's worth it to just start fresh. Keep your user data, nuke the rest and setup from scratch w/automation if it's extremely customized to your liking.

    I personally try to use the default config as much as possible so there's not as much to set up after installing from ISO.

  • Everyday Astronaut: Interview with the Polaris Dawn Crew
  • Great interview, this tech demo is going to neat to hear the results.

    I was really curious how they fit an airlock in the capsule, but then they started talking about the whole thing being depressurized.

    Then using the EVA suit as the IVA suit?

    They're really going all in on this, hope nothing goes wrong, cause there's not a lot of room for error. Even with all the redundancy.

    Would be outstanding if they are really able to service Hubble after they get the tech worked out.

    Multiple space agencies are looking to send crewed missions to the Moon’s southern polar region in this decade and the next. Moreover, they intend to create the infrastructure that will allow for a sustained human presence, exploration, and economic development. This requires that the local geograph...

    China Creates a High-Resolution Atlas of the Moon

    Really important step towards expanding our research on the moon, is creating highly detailed maps of the entire surface.

    China is doing some great work on building out infrastructure and studies of the moon. They're the only country that's brought back any moon rocks in decades.

    Space Race 3.0 is on, and we'll see how different approaches to the research and manned missions will move forward.

    The US is currently building out an extremely upfront cost heavy project, but with a lot of long term benefits.

    China is building a more straightforward moon project, but with higher ongoing costs, as much of the infrastructure is disposable (more like Apollo).

    Life isn't so bad. Take a moment to enjoy this stunning JWST image of the Horsehead Nebula. Your tax dollars may have paid for it.

    Insanely Detailed Webb Image of the Horsehead Nebula

    The amount of detail in these pictures is amazing. You can really see the texture in the nebula, and the features are so crisp, it kind of looks 3d.

    How Knot Theory Can Help Spacecraft Can Change Orbits Without Using Fuel
    www.universetoday.com How Knot Theory Can Help Spacecraft Can Change Orbits Without Using Fuel

    When a spacecraft arrives at its destination, it settles into an orbit for science operations. But after the primary mission is complete, there might be other interesting orbits where scientists would like to explore. Maneuvering to a different orbit requires fuel, limiting a spacecraft’s number of ...

    How Knot Theory Can Help Spacecraft Can Change Orbits Without Using Fuel

    Pretty interesting topic, would be interesting if it could be used to move satellites to a "parking orbit" once they run out of fuel. It's unclear just how much movement in an orbit that can be done, as it says it needs to be in the same energy level.

    Is Blocking Users Problematic to the Platform?

    There was an issue on Reddit a while back where people would post some hateful stuff, and of course lots of people blocked them.

    After a while, anti-trans, racist, and far-right-wing stuff were only seen by non-logged in users, other bigots, or new people, and they weren't getting the downvotes they deserved.

    Is this going to be a problem on Lemmy too? I'm worried that if we're all blocking shitty users that we're just hiding the problem from ourselves, not fixing it.

    Custom mount adapter for a wireless camera in my car

    This was a fun project, I had to measure and figure out the iottie thread pitch and then create an adapter to go from a phone mount stand to a backplate on my wireless camera screen for a backup camera on a trailer.

    Basically replicated the back plate from the original phone mount with the same tolerances and spacing.

    Took 2 test prints to make sure the threads and spacing was right, then I printed it out of PETG. Seems to hold up well, but I might end up adjusting the design over time if it has a weak point.
