    The thing is that Steam doesn’t have a history of shutting down a significant fraction of games they have available by themselves. Hence people don’t criticize them.

    Also you can (not saying that you should, I personally don’t trust Gabe) put some tust in a private owned company if you trust the owners.

    In case of public companies they are forced by law and major shareholders into making shortsighted decisions and prioritizing profit only.







  • If you are in a decent condition it’s likely doable from the get go.

    It’s definitely doable for almost anyone via gradual distance increase.

    For reference:

    I’m your average, feeble programmer. My only interest in biking is exchange of temporary suffering for a good chance at longer and comfier life. Also cheaping out on public communication tickets.

    I was slightly overweight when started biking (25.5 BMI). I have 6km to work. Had to do round trip and back (so 18km pretty much your distance) one day a few weeks after starting bike commutes (I forgot something and had to do a round trip right after arrival).

    At 6km at the start I was pretty spent and almost at the point of needing a shower.
    At 12km I was exhausted, in pain and absolutely needed a shower.
    At 18km, with a 15min break for a shower at home I was fucking dying (figuratively).

    So if you never biked I suggest feeling out your limits and gradual acclimation. But it’s definitely achievable.

    But they have the testicles of their soon to be born sons.

    I would say whether it’s greater than 1 or lesser than 1 is inconclusive without accurate data .

    You would need to find out whether amount of men with removed testicles is greater than amount of women pregnant with a boy (after the average week when testicles appear). Also men to women ratio in global population needs to be accounted for.


  • For the solar panels - was it reported by an independent organization or reported by China?

    I am afraid it’s the same fake metric as with the electric scooters earlier. China subsidized them, so companies vastly overproduced dinky scooters to milk subsidies, inflate their numbers and inflate connected sharing businesses with a huge fleets. Those now sit in huge piles of electrowaste, which predictably explode in a beautiful toxic lithium fires 🔥.

    Same happened earlier with cheap electric bikes and motorbikes.

    Same happened earlier with cheap electric cars.

    And we are talking here only about mountains of overproduction that cannot be hidden. God knows how much of the number was inflated along the chain of reporting, as is customary in China.
