There are heat pumps that exchange heat with the ground. Those can function well in more extreme temperatures. Also you could/should have alternative heating methods for extreme situations even if they are much more inneficient

You haven’t met them in person because they are at home busy… playing factorio.

The question is what are you doing outside?

I wouldn’t say anything. You could provide a sense of belonging, guidance etc but many cults also do that.

Now, many also promise eternal salvation and the like and that is 100% a scam. Literally the same as snake oil.

All of his games have this convoluted story that is supposed to be wacky af. Could it be better, yes? But you can’t really say it wasn’t expected.

Also saying that Death Stranding is Prime simulator is reductive af. I’m not even in the camp that the game is amazing. Heck I don’t even know if it’s good. However I do know that it’s interesting af and I’ll definitely recommend it to people. It’s such a different “game” that more people should experience at least to see if it resonates with them.

I’m very happy that I played it.

Plus that sound track alone is worth it for some moments in the game. Literal chills.

Honestly the worst about CP2077 wasn’t even the bugs. I also pre ordered it and while the performance was kinda shit and there was a bug or two, it was still playable. Yes we shouldn’t let it slip but unfortunately it’s also kind of the standard these days.

However the game was shallow af and not at all matching what we had been told for years. The whole, create your own story from scratch? Yea you choose some background option, have a 1 min cutscene and then that’s basically it. We had been told that would be hours of gameplay depending on the option and it was a short cutscene.

The whole city was supposed to feel completely alive and you were told that you would be able to do whatever you wanted. That wasn’t close to true either. Plenty of stuff like that.

Luckily I had bought it on GOG to support CDPR because I had loved the Witcher games. Was able to refund it entirely and never locked back. Not even looking to play it anytime soon and maybe ever.

Sure.

Western countries are under pressure by their own population to fight climate change. For that they need to implemente measures that reduce their impact, which most governments would rather not do as it usually comes with some “negative consequences”. Now, if they can make the problem smaller by having other countries change their way of living instead, it’s a win for them, because problem gets smaller, pressure decreases (or more realistically increases less) and they can focus on making lines go up and getting their votes.

So I don’t think that they will have a big incentive in keeping it private. Of course private companies will, but that’s a different story.

Hopefully that made sense. It’s late here xD

Due to the environmental impacts they would have a strong incentive to not do that.

Not because they care that much about the climate, but if they can make a significant percentage of continents like Africa and Asia reduce their food production emissions they they themselves would need to reduce theirs less
