If you haven’t read it, this blog post greatly increased my appreciation for mechanical watches: https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/

Sure you can define a small enough unit, call it dt or “change in time.” That’s the basis for calculus anyway.
I think what you’re referring to is that our perception lags behind reality, and so by the “time” we point at a moment and call it present, that moment no longer is the present. I certainly think that’s true, although I don’t see how that indicates that there is no present?
This begs the question “why did enough people start accepting that it was valuable?”
Yes, biolabs have a higher base speed and I think an extra module slot, making them better than regular assembling machines. The real bonus is the 50% productivity, which is absurdly high. That alone makes them worth it. The tough part is feeding them nutrients. I had to use a lot of circuits.
I know you're not looking for a lot of guidance, but there is one thing that makes a factory on Gleba possible that may not be initially obvious. You need to process fruits in biolabs. One seed turns into 50 fruit, each with a 2% chance of giving a seed. This means your seed numbers will average out to stay level. The biolab's 50% productivity makes this ratio positive. Get that going, and the rest you can figure out on your own without having to go on regular treks to get more seeds!
Even if Google stopped paying Mozilla, the organization has enough in savings to operate for several years. That’s plenty of time to cut back on spending and find other revenue sources. My only concern would be that they cut back on Firefox development rather than what I would consider a side project.
Pretty interesting review for anyone interested. There are spoilers about 2/3 through: https://youtu.be/HMUugZ3DxH8?feature=shared
I listened to the soundtrack for about 4 years before getting around to watching the movie. Very fun. For how slow the build-up is, Playtime is Over is one of my favorite workout songs, always gets the endorphins running.
Caffeine has a metabolic half life of 6-12 hours. This means that after a 24 hour period, there could be 1/4 of the original caffeine amount you drank in your system. If you drink the same amount of caffeine again at that point, now after a 24 hour period you ‘ll have up to 1/4 of that 1.25 amount in your system. If you consume caffeine daily, this can lead to an accumulation of caffeine that your body adjusts to always being there, becoming the new baseline normal. This would feel fine until you stop, at which point the caffeine your body expects to be there is gone, and it needs to take time readjusting to that absence. That leads to withdrawal symptoms.
Oh nice, I just replayed The Last Autumn since the trees are changing color, just waiting on the first snowfall to play the main game. Let me know if there’s anything especially challenging you want advice on!
I’d like to point out that you have only talked about hope without personal action to support a statement about hope as a whole. A better term for that would be wishful thinking. While I agree that not acting while hoping for change is foolish, I believe acting on hope can drive a person to perform beyond what would normally be achievable.
If the world is truly hopeless, then why would anybody put any effort into saving it? It seems to me that at least some level of hope for a better world or life would be a prerequisite toward making that world or life a reality.
I interpreted “old reddit vibes” to be more about there being an actual discourse on posts more than being about the subject matter of the posts. If you look at the comments on reddit, they all just agree with each other because they’re the most popular opinions so they get the most upvotes. The thing I like about here is that I can still read that popular comment, but there are few enough total comments that scrolling down a bit leads to discussions that would have been buried in downvotes there. But since they didn’t define “old reddit vibes” I could be misinterpreting as easily as you!
