Radioactive waste maybe. Fusion plants are likely to create irradiated parts that degrade quickly, similar to fission plants. Fusion fuel on the other hand, is gaseous, and likes to escape. Hydrogen is explosive, while helium-3 is just expensive.
Coal has caused more deaths this year than the entire history of nuclear anything has in total. This includes nuclear energy, nuclear research, nuclear medicine, nuclear irradiation (food storage), and too many orphan sources.
I don’t think it will. The large cost of a reactor will probably be shared, but fission plants don’t deal with plasma, magnets, hydrogen/helium storage, lasers, or capacitors. And we don’t even know the method by which a practical fusion plant will operate!
Like every other US government project ever built.

Eh, i wouldn’t call that freeform building and exploring. Rather unconstrained base building, sure, and open world exploration, but you can’t disassemble the boss dungeon and rebuild it as a boat in hell. You can’t automatically kill enemies in a pit of lava. There’s no getting lost in your own mess of tunnels. And no one is making a working GPU out of Pals.
Oh, they definitely go about everything differently, but it’s a relatively similar difference.
Like Chimpanzees and Aye Ayes. Both share the majority of their features, being primates, but they use them very differently.
Spinks has credited Minecraft as direct inspiration. Terraria was first released among the gobs and gobs of minecraft clones, yet it was obvious that Terraria wasn’t a clone.
As for “Full Release”, Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it’s 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft’s first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.
Sounds like FEZ, where the gameplay is in 2D, but you need to move in 3D.
Freeform building and exploring, crafting, survival, pixel art, endless gameplay. There and definitely a lot of similarities, especially compared to say CS:GO.
Oh, and don’t forget the insane modding communities.
They’re also incentivized to keep the same size packaging (both for logistical and public perveption reasons) and ship less product in those packages. People are willing to pay $6 for a big bag of chips, despite the big bag weighing 150g less than the normal bag 5 years ago.
They don’t get paid by the gram, they get paid by the bag. A bigger bag looks more impressive, and thus can be sold for more. Same for those tall skinny beverage cans. They look bigger than the regular cans, but are actually 25ml smaller, and yet go for a similar price.
This will continue until the price per gram is what people look for (emphasis on this at the point of sale would help), or the mass of each product is standardized. 50g, 100g, 200g, 350g, 500g, 750g, and whole kg sizes only, none of this 489g nonsense.
Specifically synthetic methane will be efficiently burned, and much of it will be burned outside the atmosphere, so it’s hardly a greenhouse risk.
Gonggong is named after a Chinese water god, and it does indeed have it’s own ice. It’s also red, covered in thiolins like Pluto, but even moreso. There’s also likely a thin methane exosphere, leaving methane frost on windows.
Gonggong is very far out, moving between 33 and 101 AU over it’s 554 year orbit. It orbits at a 30° inclination, so telescopes would pick up some interesting shots of the other planets poles.
The 1/30 g gravity is nothing special, plenty to jump around in, but enough to not fly away easily. It’s slightly flattened by it’s rotation, which is a nice 22 hours, much slower than other trans-neptunian bodies. This slow rotation is caused by tidal forces between it and it’s moon Xiangilu.
Xiangilu is named for Gonggong’s minister, a nine headed venomous snake monster. It orbits every 25 days, nearly exactly a month like Earth’s moon, but in an eccentric orbit, changing size throut the month. Gonggong has a polar orientation like Uranus as well, leaving Xiangilu a constant half-moon in the dim sky half the year. Sadly eclipses would be very rare.
The trip out there is rather long, but once there it seems quite unique and cozy.
On one hand, synthetic methane is set to be rather important in the medium term future. On the other hand, bio methane is probably the worse greenhouse product at the moment.
That’s why a lot of us are here after all.
Also, who’s going to call them out on that? What court wouldn’t throw that out immediately? And even if you did win, the company wouldn’t even notice. You probably signed away the right to be part of a class action lawsuit in the Terms of Service anyway.
That’s true to a point. 50% gas by fill level is ridiculous though.
I’ve come across several sites with abhorrently short password limits, as low as 12.
Worse, 2 of them accepted the longer password, but only saves the first n characters, so you can’t log in even with the correct password, untill you figure out the exact max length and truncate it manually.
Even worse, one of those sites was a school authentication site, but it accepted the full password online and only truncated the password on the work computer login. That took me an entire period to suss out.
How do you expect cops and unfranchised criminals to circumvent a reality bender? I’d be more worried about the reasonable uses for guns, like flare guns, PAFS, harpoon guns, nail guns, and so on.
Not to mention that a lack of guns just means nightsticks and lead pipes become popular again.
Mars used to be B tier, but it really fell off after the hypertsunami.
You underestimate how little people think when purchasing things. None of this would be a problem if everyone looked at the price per 100g first, but ooo 3 $5… And then the size reduction usually goes alongside a packaging change, like jumbo or family size; “New look, same great taste!”. It’s all a distraction, out of sight, out of mind and all that.
Also, the 330ml cans are taller, and because of the square-cube law they only need to be a little skinnier to be smaller. They’re also not usually displayed next to the normal 355ml cans. Out of sight…
Also, who is going to laude a big corp product for a logistics change in the first place? I barely see anyone complaining about shrinkflation for packaging reasons as it is. I’d see a better slack fill level on one product and think, “This must be old stock” or “This is the last time we’ll get bags this dense”.
