    Just as particle physicists measure everything in energy (eV to be precise…)

    Mass? eV Energy? eV Distance? 1/eV Time? Guess what: 1/eV as well! This also means velocity has unit 1…

    And the worst part: it turns out to be extremely useful!






  • Welcome to Greece! No, not our modern Greece, the old timey write philosophical questions into the dirt with sticks and argue with your best homies about it kind of Greece!

    Want to compute something? Hope you got all your steps in linear order so you don’t have to remember too much in between other steps!

    /s (but not really so I totally am on your side, original formulations of math problems are a pain…)





  • Well I specifically thought about “without using tools or tools like things” aka without needing fingernails or teeth…

    And yes, most duck tape (not the actual brand stuff mind you!) I have encountered in my life we’re pretty much tear resistant to the point of folding over and crumpling multiple times before even looking separable! Unless I used a pair of scissors to cut it or switched to gaffers tape which was insanely easy to separate even with only one hand! (While holding it in said hand!)

    Now that you mention this though, I might just have interacted with very ‘badly’ (for a sufficiently narrow definition of badly) made tape up to this point 😅


  • Panzertape can either be sort of like duck tape or like gaffer tape (with the actual fibers inside visible/noticable).

    The way I usually distinguish gaffer from no gaffer is: can you easily (and I mean easily!) rip it into the desired size and does doing so sometimes/potentially leave small strands of “thread” at the end of the roll? If yes it’s very likely gaffer tape and awesome!






  • Uff this started out for me as being “easy! Minecraft, Factorio and a third one!”

    And then quickly and only devolved into an abyss of deliberation…

    • Do I take EU4+DLC+Anbennar because then I would finally have an excuse to actually learn and play this damn game? (Plus having base game and Anbennar basically doubles the replayability)
    • Do I take VintageStory so I can finally learn to actually play it well and start creating meaningful mods for it?
    • Should I take Noita or Caves of Qud? Should they be replacements for DF?
    • Is either of Civ V or Civ VI replayable about for me for this much time?

    And from there the more basic questions:

    • Does any of the three games need to be entertaining enough to basically always run or could/should it suffice to simply rotate between them?
    • How much time would I reasonably want to spend playing vs creating?
    • Also am I allowed to spend some time basically daydreaming every day (aka the games are meant more to actually keep me sane rather than get people to recommend good games they have given thought and time to?) or should they/would I want them to keep me occupied basically 15/7?

    So yeah, Minecraft probably still stands as there are way too many mods and building ideas for it to (probably?) become truly stale in a lifetime!

    And Factorio because I still want to actually finish an AB run for once, or a SE run, or … You get the idea. Buut the third slot would likely be a make or break for this whole endeavor and now it’s back to square one again!
