HIV worked great for improving condom usage. I guess it's not so scary anymore. No other STI is so scary nor so hard to treat as HIV was

I play freeciv (an open source civ 3.5 clone) much more often than civ 5 which I bought. I'll agree with you. Newer civ isn't all that attractive.

So complain to the developers that make mastodon work that way. Complaining here is worse than useless, no one here can do anything about it

Sure, in the future state where we have all the energy we need from solar and wind, but then we have all the energy we need

Hydrogen maybe has a place in sea and air transport. Maybe has a place in trucks

Hydrogen right now comes from fossil fuels

That's really expensive compared to fracking. It's reasonable to assume that any hydrogen project is going to use fossil hydrogen

My favorite thing about my current phone is that I can set an alarm a couple of hours after I should wake, and the phone (trying not to fully charge until the alarm time) never charges overnight above 80% minimizing the chance of a thermal runaway if it happened to be like the note 7, as well as making the battery have a longer life

I started using YouTube back when it was new. When the default view was the videos from the channels you subscribed to, and I have kept that pattern.

It seems to work, except for the few weeks after a holiday I empty my YouTube, nebula, and podcast feeds early each day

It's off to the side of the very specific sign

Australian here, I'm happy for America to call pickup trucks "trucks". They're closer to a light commercial vehicle than they are to a ute.

Aside from all that, EN.US is their language. They can use it how they like. It's just a shame their culture is so dominant that it can't leave EN.AU alone

Malta will even sell* you citizenship

*They'll give you citizenship if you invest over an amount (€1 million last I looked) in Malta

20 seems like the youngest end for university graduates. Start university age 18, 3 year degree program, graduate aged 20

That only requires advancing 1 grade ahead of one's peers. My cohort at university included one person who was 3 years ahead of their class and so started university aged 16
