This is more like a competition than anything, GameJams is an integral part of the indie games communities and something a fair share of developers likes doing.
It’s a way to try to come up with new concepts and get feedback on it. Often with one or more constraints/themes from the specific jam you’re participating in
I mostly see this chart focused on ultra processed foods, so the base ingredients are mostly safe?
Also as a filthy Scandinavian, Orkla Group does have quite a lot available in the ultra processed category
Some farms are conventional, some are organic, some let’s their cows move more freely than others, some use more antibiotics others less, etc
So no, milk is not just milk. Animal welfare as well as animal intake are big parts for why certain brands can take a steeper price than others
The only places I’ve ever witnessed unbranded milk, are in very rural locations at which you pick it up at the literal farm that produced the milk and that’s a brand in itself
problem isn’t even the Tesla politics … Most EVs are touted as a luxury ordeal with luxury prices.
That is Tesla politics. Tesla specifically wanted to build a luxury, very complicated machine as their first EV. While Chinese automakers did the opposite, they began small with less complicated machines (hey smaller battery for smaller weight) and then built more complex and luxury models on top of that base
Heck even oil producing European countries such as Scotland and Norway, considers renewable the future
And what are the bad news?
Both China and EU are making certain physical switches a requirement; Due to the safety risk of ‘all is computer’
ASML has an order book running to 2028, the problem is it’s almost impossible to create a competitor to ASML - Demand for fabs is not the issue.
I would assume fortified positions do not count as battlefield
What makes you think they’re pushing 10k people past their trenches at all times?
This statement is about the battlefield. The area between fortifications. Given a M777 howitzer has a range of 21-40 km based on type of shell.
If we go by the most extreme expectations, then the battlefield will be at least 10 kms wide - As both sides will keep artillery a bit further back to protect them against enemy artillery fire.
To get the expert infantry badge in the US army, a soldier needs to be able to march with full equipment at 6.33 km an hour. It’s fair to assume the Russian soldiers running into their death aren’t spotting full equipment. So if we’re setting it a bit high they might be able to move 5 km during the 30 minute expected kill time.
The numbers are similar for the other side of this fight. It means the only way to push the battle lines is by using equipment
If you’re attempting to assassinate someone, you don’t want a physical trail going straight back to your location.
I think fiber optics would only see niche applications, when done by either a lunatic or a professional agent aware they’d sacrifice themselves for the target.
But if you’re at the point of having professional agents, willing to sacrifice themselves. It’s more likely you’d sneak a drone onto a civilian vehicle like a truck, with a preprogrammed path able to scan for a specific face (or a handful of them) which acts offline once it sets off
China did exercises with Cambodia last year, as a way to showcase their drone technology.
I have a conspiracy theory; AI is secretly pushed to the level it is, because Pentagon demands it. China and the US has been in an AI cold war for half a decade, maybe a decade, as they understand the power the technology is able to bring to a battlefield scenario
And a pretty high percentage will turn to organised crime, an astounding number of American biker gangs were created by veterans after Vietnam.
Although you could argue the types of veterans seeking adrenaline, probably won’t be the drone operators and drone builders - But if they take that route, holy mackarel the turf wars will turn grim
I think the reason is as simple as flamboyant outfits being easily available.
Two hundred years ago, a flamboyant outfit indicated you did minimum manual work. As that’d destroy the drip, and it was also quite expensive. While commoners would wear often brown/grey work outfits.
It’s the same reasons for why it used to be in to be white/pale, as that indicated you’d stay inside all day rather than working the fields. Now it’s in to be tan, as that indicates you’re able to sunbath rather than work in an office all day long
A summer cape, a pair of undies and nothing else?
This has been a hot topic among AAA developers for a long ass time. Steam is setting certain requirements, such as engagement with advertisements may not be forced - But product placement that fits within the world is fine
But none intrusive banner ads is whatever, historically football games have included “fake ads” for charities and inclusion.
If that got changed to opt-in proper ads for a 10€ price deduction we’d be all ears
I’m European enough to have visa free travel to Thailand and that fact broke the passport checker guy. The Chinese officer could not comprehend visa free travel does exist for certain nationals.
Again there’s no need for them to do the check, as I’d stay in the international zone of the airport. As well as the initial airline having checked everything was fine before departure, due to them having to cover a return flight if you’re not accepted into your destination country - But yeah, it was a complete shit show to layover through China
Just don’t do a layover through China, that’s a complete shitshow. In the rest of the world, traveling from outside the country to outside the country. They’ll just let you stick around in the international zone.
China tho, holy fuck. Has to get through another passport control, at which Chinese officers whom doesn’t know the visa rules are examining if you have proper visas to enter the country you’re traveling to, which funnily enough was already done by the flight company moving you to the Chinese airport. Then another layer of a security check and before you’ve blinked your 3 hour layover has passed. It literally takes 2.5+ hours to get through that shit
Looking at the 6 countries being more fond of the US, we essentially have 3 groups.
But for most, China is reliable and you understand what their goals are. Because they literally have a 100 year plan and tells you most things in advance. Trump is just a smoking gun, he’ll do something today, something else tomorrow and I can’t even fathom what he’ll do the day after - While being corrupted more than any leader of a major country ever has
There’s a funny thing going on at EU level, were Danish unions are lobbying against an EU wide minimum wage. As they believe un-unionised immigrant labour will end up with worse wages, if there’s a legal minimum wage they can point to
