Yup, just like that

Apologies. I'm from a country where the meaning of the period and comma is reversed compared to the US, so I did it this way out of habit.

Honestly, I think it may be possible to build entire roads with enough crushed metal elements in the asphalt/concrete and a slight low power charge throughout the entire surface would be able to keep any vehicle battery at a steady charge.

You might be underestimating how much power a car consumes while driving. For example, a Tesla model 3 has an efficiency of about 130 Wh/km in mild weather at highway speeds. Assuming that on the highway you'll travel 100 km/h, that means you'll use 130*100 = 13.000 Wh/h, a constant power draw of 13kW. That's enough to power perhaps 8-12 houses on average.

A km of road could have, let's say, 200 cars on it (4 lanes, 20m per car). That means you'd need to pump about 2.6 megawatts of power into every kilometer of road to keep them all topped up.

EDIT: fucked up math

It is very fun if you want to be sure that you aren't missing anything the game has to offer.

You've hit upon the crux of the issue, in my opinion. FromSoftware games in general are built on exploration and discovery, finding crazy cool stuff in some dark corner of the game is a big part of the experience. However, for discovery to be properly rewarding you have to allow for the possibility that the player will just miss the stuff you've hidden. Indeed, in a blind playthrough of Dark Souls you're likely to stumble upon a bunch of different secrets and still miss 50% or more of them.

That's gonna be excruciating if you insist on "100% completing" the game. It kind of goes back to older days of gaming when there was no internet and no guides, and you just played the game and were happy when you saw the credits, and had no idea you even missed anything. I feel like modern games with their map markers for everything and completion percentages visible have kind of changed the way many people approach games.

Not to say there's anything wrong with using a guide, play the game how you like. And there is definitely an argument that if you bought the whole game, you'd like to experience the whole game.

Do you guys get DAB+ in the US?

"Theoretically" is worth very little. It is pretty much the same for every concept NPP, that once construction starts on an actual practical plant, ugly problems start coming up all over the place that were not considered or thought of in the concept stage. Corrosion is one of the biggest ones.

xAI just finished up a funding round worth $6bn, he doesn't need to use his own money. It's the usual bunch of VC funds: Fidelity Sequoia, Kingdom Holdings (that's a Saudi fund).

Not quite the same result, exercise has a whole host of health benefits aside from just the weight loss.

On the other hand, for most people, given a calorie deficit target, it is often much, much easier to eat less than burn more.

True but disingenuous. This statement is often used to mock blue origin for just going 100km straight up into space and then back down, which is very far from reaching orbit. But the flight profile of IFT-3 was so close to orbital velocity, it's not a significant difference.

Pharmaceutical companies just aren't interested in it.

Intuitively speaking, how many times does half of a thing fit into a quarter of a thing? The answer is, exactly one half time.

It's not so much about where it goes, more so the fact that it doesn't stay in America. This is about saving the American auto industry. Whether it's for the jobs that would be lost or the profits of the shareholders.
