Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can’t interact with.

It’s also a survival craft so you build your base.

It’s a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.

Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.

Still early access though so could be improved

That seems like a giant waste of battery/fuel.

People are addicted to it and see the aspartame water with no sugar and no calories and feel they can drink as much as they want guilt free.

Why? Is it creating construction jobs? Doubt the entire salaries of everyone building it will total anywhere near that amount.

Jobs after? What, like a dozen security guards and a couple IT people? Those things practically run themselves from what I understand.

Just pay that money directly to the construction workers and scrap the data centre.

I wonder if it would be suitable to adjust people’s grades each year on their final exam.

For example instead of having assignments worth 25%, attendance 10%, quizzes 20%, midterm 20%, and final 25%

Have it as assignments 75% and attendance as 25%

Then adjust all of that for by midterm and finals

Get 100% on your assignments due to chatgpt and show up to class every time despite not paying attention, if you get 50% on your quizzes, midterm, and final you get 50% overall, not 67.5%

Well, yes it wouldn’t heat it a “little bit” at the source but once added back into the system the average increase would probably be a “little bit”.

I just bought a house which has a pump and water line for garden hoses and irrigation

I have no idea where the water is coming from

The house has a well, but the irrigation system is completely separate and has a pipe running somewhere that I have no idea about.

Honestly question though …

Does a data centre actually pollute or dirty the water when used to cool it’s stuff?

Could it not just take the water, run it through the system, heat the water a little bit to cool the stuff it needs, then run the water back into the city lines which might even save people a few cents on the water heating bills?

I’m like one of the youngest millenials… Still a long way to go thank you very much!

Unfortunately it’s unlikely a court will fine them based on a single person generating thousands of images. And it’s also unlikely they will fine them based on many people generating a few each, as it would be a slow and arduous process. I just can’t see it happening in reality.

There are lots of animals that have cooperative social groups and they don’t rule the planet.

Very few can throw weapons.

I think since the moon is tidally locked and we only ever see the same surface, never the backside, they simply believe it’s a disc that faces us.

There will be dozens if not hundreds or thousands of people who legitimately review that jug of milk for Walmart for free.

Any company using AI support is absolutely fucked in the head imo. It’s absolute dogshit.

I had a phone company where I had to call to add a new sim to my account because my previous phone was stolen and the fucking AI says “we have sent you a link via text or how to add a sim. Thank you, good bye.” And it fucking hung up on me.

I didn’t have the phone to get the text because it had been stolen!

Not sure how I feel about your downvotes. Do that many people just automatically downvotes at a joke without even realizing it’s a joke on the name?

I can see the purpose when done correctly but that would mean maybe a 3-5 year protection to give you a headstart on the competition not 20+ years of monopoly and stagnation.

Canada will be the home for the next Virgin Mary and the second birth of jesus

Only 600 more points and it will be lower than when trump too office last year, all gains lost.

“existing for no clear reason”

So like every other life form we know of?

This was my economics course. The professor would come in, play the textbook manufacturer provided PowerPoint on the screen, and read the slides word for word with little to no elaboration. It was the most boring course I had ever taken.

Had perfect attendance and got 55% on my midterm.

Gave up, skipped almost all of my classes to instead just sit in the library and study on my own.

Got about 87% on my final exam.

Mandatory attendance is stupid, if you can pass the course you can pass the course.
