Is it so hard to provide context for numbers?
What's it? Musrders per year? Per montth? Per week? Per 10k? Or may be per 1M
Who is the victims? Is it regular citizens who suffer from crime or may be it is unhinged gangs start to kill each other?
Numbers and plots without units and context are mostly useless, even if it is number of murders. Enough to provoke "feelings" for whatever reason, but not enough for something thoughtful.
The most disturbing thing is that during coronahoax we was fed a lot with same numbers and plots without units and context. After that, at least here, on that forum, people should perfectly know importance of units and context. But somehow I still see exactly same thing like I saw about coronahoax, just about some other thing.
How fuck is that?
2x weight is not something disastrous. It's 2g force. You probably expirienced something near that many times at passenger plane take-off. For few minutes only each time, but it is more than enough to reveal any problems if any. Hardly anybody will even describe this as "unpleasant".
Humans and animals will adapt, only some structures for obvious reasons will have problems as mentioned earlier by 867glow5309reggin.
Also, many people who don't care about themselves have more than 2x normal human weight and don't look suffering from their weight specifically, putting apart health problems, some even claim they are "healthy" and "normal".
Again noticed weird score calculation. It's 1 on the left, but +3 / -5 in title.
Ontopic: basically it is hybrid of hair clipper and vacuum cleaner.

There is definitely nothing to tackle. Just sit and watch who will try to gain profit on his death. That simple.
Thanks for the game, and only one small suggestion - try to thoroughly thought out preconditions, so they be more or less consistent and have internal logic. This will make game much more interesting and even useful. :)
I think that situation when things looks consistent and logical, may be even boring, and so pretty possible IRL, and when player don't see any decent way out it is much more spectacular and thought-provoking than any plain trash horrors. :)
Your preparedness and cool head has made you a leader in the eyes of your neighbors and family.
God save me from that. I deny being leader. And neighbours are not any dumber of whatever, they just specialise in things other than elecronics. Also they are also stocked decently - remeber - they bring me what I needed, so they had and excess.
You need to set up a means of communication as all wireless communication is permanently down, and it seems only word of mouth is the only way news is getting in or out.
How is that? CB radios and walkies-talkies are fine and repaired.
How do you establish trade moving forward?
I don't think we need any trade at all at that point, since all that disater is temporary and main goal is to pass through with minimum damage, not make money. Will sum up everything later if needed.
Do you stay put, or do you leave?
Really nothing changed a lot. Yes, nobody making iPnone parties anymore, and there are no mains power from electricity company, but latter is not for long, they are fixing their stuff too. Why should we move?
What does your community look like? Will you have enough resources to take care of outsiders or do you fend for yourself?
Regular village, with forest, fields, log or stone houses and all that stuff. Just with temporary centralized power outage, which is not a rare thing, really, you know, that trees sometimes fall on wires or ice builds or wind, or somebody break power pole with tractor, so everybody prepared.
No, even a few weeks without electricity will not be even close to awful disaster here. Towns are more vulnerable, of course, but I don't think it will be total collapse too. Some shit will happen in some places, but nothing critical. As electricity will be fixed everything will return to norm.
Humans live without any electricity only 150 years ago, and that was not hell on earth. And even modern snowflakes will certainly survive a week or even a month without electricity.
We have a proverb - "devil is not as scary as they paint him", in the sense that things you don't dealt with often exagregated and when you really meat them, you find out that everything could be resolved, fixed or defeated easier than they told you.
to your discovery they didn't!
So, I had more than enough firewood to keep my home warm. Nobody get cold and so on.
Trees don't run on electricity!
Really they do. You know, chemical reactions, ions, radicals and all that stuff. All that is about electrons.
Your family didn't have enough to go around
Why? Just in kitchen I have around 2 kg of salt, one table salt and another for dishwasher. And who knows how many in warehouse. Last time I bought five 1kg packs of dishwasher salt and three 1kg table salt, and there already was something.
Neighbors return home and nope power is still off.
All my neighbours have gasoline generators, so power outage is not a problem anymore, since among things they bring me to fix was few electronic regulators from gens. Others just have older electronicless generators.
Your wife is now starting to accept the fact that you can't let electricity go
Everything apperared to be fine with electricity in my house. generator is murmuring on the wood gas without any problems, and could do it as long, as there is wood to add. Well, of course I have to stor it periodically for cleaning and servicing, but that's not a problem at all.
An amount of time has passed and you continue to cast imaginary spells and your family starts to worry.
Why should they? There are tons of wood in forest, it will took them dozen minutes to collect enough firewood to keep house warm even if I will be too lazy to do that.
Don't tell me that "solar flash" also vapourised our forest and so on.
has caused your mother-in-law to pass away from malnutrition and lack of salt.
Wait, solar flare also vapourised salt? You mean Sodium Chloride with melting temperature around 800°C and who knows boiling one?
We definitely on the next level. :)
There are 6 men and two women.
Slightly tired of them, really. They definitely bring me their broken electronic crap to repair. Again. As always. Well, I fix some of their electronic shit and they are happy, as always, and don't hesitate to provide us with everything necessary and much more, as always.
But I still not shure if all that stuff is applicable for next level. :)
Survive.
Well, I don't know rules for next level, and even don't know if the concept of "survival" is applicable here at all.
Wife (Hungry, Cold) Son (Hungry, cold, Sick) Mother-In-Law (Hungry, Cold) Self (Slowly going mad, -1 turn)
Well, you mean solar flare also eat all our food reserve and vapourized few tons of coal and firewood? Then there are nothing to worry about anymore - we are definitely already dead, and moving stright to the next level. :)
Do you have a lore and rules for next level?
Unfortunately the "electronics" you discover that are in your old pcs also show the same condition as your phone, TV, and Furnace. BRICKED.
If it runs on electricity it ain't working.
If such thing is accounted as possible in this wargame, then my move will be - I taking my magic wand and restore everything as it should be along with removing globalist cabal and their shills from existence.
Seriously, wargames with impossible preconditions are as senseless and practical as D&D. Just entertainment, nothing more.
This is 100% is not solar flare. Probably electronic devices was compromised by chip manufacturers intentionally to die at specific moment.
Solution - go down to basement and dig out old electronic stuff made before above conspiracy. You know - that beloved old PCs and other nice electronic things of the past which are "too grudge to throw out and too unfashioned to allow anybody see you have them". Revive necessary ones and continue with your business.
Moon albedo, calculated from visible sun and moon brightness ratio is around 0.07. So it reflects only 7% of light. I'ts pretty bad, really. Charcoal reflects 4%, for example. White paper reflects around 90%. Usual river sand have around 50%
Moon surface is only twice brighter than charcoal and 7 times darker than river sand. Pretty black thing I could say.
It is too easy to calculate, so hardly Kubrik, being perfectionist would have been fucked up with such simple thing. Color of moon surface on NASA color images is correct. It have to be kind of nearly black sand or dust to appear in our sky as we see it.
If moon had something like river sand as surface, it would have been 7 times brighter in full moon night, which is still far from sunlight, but already enough to read.
If that is the case, then it is orthogonal to "self-driving". Those who make sacrifice could do it regardless of "self-driving" and even a car.
Actually there is no math component required for it to be a theory.... It just has to be sufficiently proven through repeated tests and experiments. That can and often does involve math, but it doesn't have to necessarily.
You are absolutely right, math is not absolutely necessary, proof could be obtained without it, just in most cases especially in physics/chemistry, some math appears when hypothesis become theory.
Strictly speaking, it's not math, it is predictability, which provide way of proving/disproving. If you could predict outcome of your hypothesis given input variables/conditions, and so could check if it happens in reality, it is already a theory.
Yes.
theory is when hypothesis get some mathematical form.
Hypothesis is like "phenomenon A connected with phenomenon B"
Theory is like "phenomenon A is proportional to square root of phenomenon B"
Hypothesis is a broad assumpion about existence of connection of A and B. Since absence of something could not be proved, there is nothing to prove or disprove yet.
Theory is a next stage of obtaining knowledge that could already be practically verified by experiment and could be proven or disproven.
That too.
I'm about the whole hype around that "self-driving cars" "problem". Ways of routenly resolve such situations, regardless of obviously corrupted court practice is not anything new at all. There is just nothing special to discuss about. Corrupted jurors and judges is another question that have nothing to do with tech.
Shit happens. A lot of people was killed by automatic industrial equipment, so that "self-driving" point "specificity" is a bullshit. In case of factory casualities from the equipment the responsibility is either on the owner of tech, either on manufacturer of tech either or on employee who failed safety protocols, depending of circumstances of incident. Don't see why that century old scheme could not be used with that "self-driving" cars. They are not different from industrial equipment in sense of automatic action at all.
One of the main purposes of science is to enshure that theories of our world have no contradictions. You could not do it without searching for contradictions. Finding contradiction just means that theory is wrong and should be replaced or rewriten. It's the inalienable part of scientific research. You make theory, you check if experimental results align with theory predictions and look for contradictions to proove or dicsprove theory.
I don't even know who is worse in that case - Daily Mail who reports on some studies like they are scientific fact, or one who made this meme based on complete ignorance.
Science, and scientific approach is very important today. It is the only practical way of finding the truth that is not completely perverted yet. And those who are trying to bury science itself, instead of burying MSM, corrupted scientists and those who make profit on that, definitely is not on the side of truth.
In order to decide to not work with them, I have to judge them first though, eh??
You do it for yourself every time you make any decision. But it's your busines, not anybody else. That's simple.
Why f.e. LGBTXYZ+ are so despised? It's not because they fuck wrong way in their bedrooms, not at all. They despised because they try to push their own, and only their own business into others heads. Same here. Thats what make them despised.
You should go spend some time over there. Maybe you wouldn't be such a simp.
I don't need to simp or whatever to make trade. As soon, as gastronomical preferences or whatever of business partner don't interfere in my business, I'm perfectly fine.
And notice - I don't condemn or despise you for your attitude to Chineese. And I will be perfectly fine about doing business with you, if it will make sense, despite our different views on Chineese traditions and way of life in their own land, or on any other cultural, political and so on thing.
Isn't that puriest form of capitalism and free trade you stand for?
I don't see hordes of Chineese in Russian towns. There are no any China-Towns in Russian cities. There are no illegal Chineese migrants crossing Russian border daily. And any cafe or restaraunt caught doing something like what in video will be immidiately shut down by Russian sanitary inspection with likely criminal charges to the management.
As the things are going that way, I don't care about Chineese gastronomical preferences in China at al.
And if you think they are disguisting inherent cheaters or whatever - just don't make any business with them, what's the problem? Don't sell them, don't buy from them, that's all. Or you mean your government juridically force you to do that like with Israel? Ignore that stupid state laws then.
I have no any problems with Chineese and never had. IDK, may be they just account Russians different from Americans or whatever, so I in different position due to their bias, but this is also not my concern at all. They are free to have any attitude to anybody, as soon as they didin't try to push it on me.
Meanwhile, why do you try to push your attitude to Cheneese on me? What's the point? I don't really care even about your attitude to Russians, but I become suspicious when somebody try to push that attitude on me. It's not your business what I think about Chineese and how I deal with them.
From the other side, f.e. Jews don't like us, and I also don't like Jews (mostly because of endless interference into our life with their disguisting moral and all their shit). So, I don't have any business with Israel, and perfectly fine with that. Nobody cheat me and nobody give lectures about urgent need to hire few faggots in my company. And all that along with fact that some Israely companies produce some components I buy from Chineese, so they could be my business suppliers, especially taking in account that they didn't even impose sanctions on my country and it is as easy to sorce similar components from Israel, as from China. But I just choose not to, and that's all.
So what prevents you to do exactly same thing with Chineese you don't like?
I will not give a fuck even if they will eat each other shit. It is their business, not mine.
The only case when I wlll be concerned and furious, is only if somebody from another country will try to push or force their local traditions I don't like on me or my country. Whatever - eating shit, LGBTXYZ+, circumcision, beef taboo, and so on. Or vice versa - if somebody from other country will try to somehow limit me in my traditions we used to follow.
I'm not a God, nor a moral authority to judge or condemn of how other people live in their own countries. If I find their traditions are unacceptable for me, I just don't visit their countries and that's all.
Also, interesting, why the fuck any sane person could care about what other people in their own countries do?
You dont think that during some random research into some stupid bullshit that someone somewhere hasnt discovered better energy sources?
I'm shure that it is perfectly possible. But there is no single replicateable proof of anything like that at all.
You seen that article last month about the nuclear batterys that china supposedly invented?
This batteries used for nearly 50 years for hearing aids and pacemakers. China just made same battery with modern tech, and that's all. It is named "betavoltaic battery"
You could easily make similar battery at home - buy thoriated TIG electrode, put a lot of diodes around or just solar cells from calculators or whatever. You will get alphavoltaic battery with more than 7 billion years life.
The problem is that such patteries gives extremely low current, at microamperes or picoamperes level, so they are barely useful for anything, except some very special applications, like mentioned earlier pacemakers, hearing aids or other devices where microamps is enough.
Doesnt the battery on the voyager work on the same principle, just bigger?
No. space probes batteries are RITEGs. It is radioactive substance with mass way below critical, but active enough to produce noticeable heat. Nuclear core placed in protecting case that stops radiation, but pass heat, and on the surface of that can placed Peltier/Zeebek elements that convert temperature difference into electric current. This kind of batteries is powerful enough to make sense.
I did not have time to make meals like this.
Buy a cheap chineese breadmaker. Today they all have "raw dough" mode and knead a perfect dough without your interaction. They also have "ferment" mode to rise your dough if you use sorgdough or yeast dough. So, you could save a tons of time for your meals. I used to make own sordough bread with such a thing, and it works perfectly.
This makes me think they do have these technologies and they keep them suppressed.
With RITEGs it is pretty bureaucratic - they just prohibited owning of nuclear materials for private persons.
However, they can't have any levers to prohibit something that does not use anything radioactive or poisonous that anybody could make in garage if there will be full and replicateable drawings and instructions. They will have no way to find out you made something like that.
Sounds like the people on top have had this planned for a long time, hundreds of years perhaps?
In my theory, many centuries ago elites make a deal with some non-human entity - to do some job on enslaving and dumbing humans in exchange to something like secret of power or whatever. But being inbred disguisting arrogant and ignorant morons, they just enrich themselves, doing nearly nothing for their master. I think things really started around 1970, when some event, like notification from their master about close deadline came. Then, elite morons began to try to fulfill their promise in great hurry and their usual arrogance and ignorance. They did some shit, like stopping progress and getting rid of population curiosity, started some wars and promoted degeneracy, forced usury and fiat based economy and hijacked MSM, but was not as successfull as they pretend to be Today, looks like deadline of their deal is pretty close, and they still did nothing close to what their masters demanded. Most of their attemps failed. So, nowdays we observe the final agony of arrogant and ignorant idiots who are trying to save their ass doing some stupid shit. They are not that powerful and unbeateable as they want you to think. Only real power they have today is only their MSM that utilise arrogance and ignorance of population.
And, suddenly, all that genius dudes for some unimaginable reasons didn't release their great inventions as reproduceable and thorough instructions to the wide public, i.e. didn't do the only obvious thing that could save them and their great inventions from evil forces. None of them did that.
Smart enough to invent free energy, but dumb as fuck when it comes about their own survival. Every single time.
I will never believe any story about free energy inventor until I see full and reproduceable description of their invention I could repeat without need to guess yet another fucking "inventor's secret ingridient".
So it is absolute number of murders per year for the whole town with around half-million inhabitants. That's something, thank you.
Questions remains about victims categories and Portland area (and so accounted population) changes.
Then, if categories and town area didn't change since 2019, then that's definitely sign of some severe shit happening in Portland.
Looks like some culture in presenting and spreading data is lost completely. That's sad, really.
