doing the math, tankless heaters use insane amounts of electricity. we were gonna use one for a detached guest house so we could skip the insulated pipe, but holy shit the cabling we'd have to install
Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters still have the best planetary scale and seamless landings of any sci-fi space ship sim with interplanetary travel. Flight of Nova does it better but that's only one planet. Frontier has like four billion.
it's very slow and esoteric, it was criticised for it even at the time. if you approach it as a demonstration of pre-digital film techniques, and try to figure out how things were done, it may hold your attention longer. if you're into that sort of thing.
2001 a space odyssey's effects are completely practical, which make sense since it came out before the first moon landing. it's all physical models and cut-out photographs being moved in stop-motion, or huge rotating sets to simulate centrifugal gravity, or colored film being spun over a set of rollers.
personally i think it's worth it to watch it for the effects alone, which is just as well because its influence is such that it has been eclipsed story-wise by things that came after it and so feels a bit shallow.
since the pH scale is logarithmic-1 you'd need to be veeeery particular about the amount of lemon. i think you need 100l water to neutralize 1ml lemon juice
it's country dependent. here there's multiple digital id providers with different criteria. there's one owned by the largest isp, one owned cooperatively by all the banks, and one owned by the state which very few people use. the bank one is the most popular, and it used to work fine on custom roms. i think that support got worse once they started adding more hardware-backed security.
i don't have the mental energy to fight it at this point, but if i did i'd try to run the state-backed one on sailfish just to see what happens.
i saw a guy doing that by himself once. at night. in -15° weather. facing a locked loading door at a university campus.
a peculiar breed.
