I'd been on Reddit for 15 years, predating the Digg exodus. Actually, I find that my memories of the early days makes moving to Lemmy easier. Present-day Lemmy is already ahead of Reddit back when I started, both in terms of content and features/availability.
It's good for this to have an airing, but can I just say that Singapore is privileged to have such a small-potatoes issue to be considered a political saga? Even by the standards of Singapore's own history, this is tame: LKY's condominium-purchasing scandal from the 90s was 100x worse.
This is basically the plot of Breaking Bad.
I think that's just how the US signs off on every meeting with world leaders.
Russia was always Turkey's number one geopolitical antagonist; even in the best of times, a dangerous frenemy. Now, Turkey is probably the number one beneficiary of Putin's botched war. Its main antagonist is defanged, maybe permanently, and it's become a geopolitically indispensible regional power that the US and Europe desperately need to keep onside. It can dick around with stuff like hosting Putin visits, just to flaunt its own importance. Everything is coming up Erdogan.
Material degradation is a very serious issue for these perovskite cells, so it's a bit concerning to see it brushed off with a "lol we'll just have to see" comment. Also, these materials contain lead, so disposal/recycling becomes a significant concern.
The grim reaper is coming for old.reddit.com any day now.
Shutting down polluting businesses, relocating others away from where people live, and traffic congestion control are all valid approaches to air pollution control, used not only in China but around the world. Not sure why you need to put scare quotes around the word "solved".
Yeah. It also makes sense that the different nations are so culturally different, if they're spaced out over large distances. It can be rather inconsistent, because some quests have NPCs treating excursions all the way across the map like it's no big deal.
The latest event has a few examples of this, which was one of the things compounding my irritation with the (imo) subpar overall execution of the storyline.
How big is Teyvat supposed to be, canonically? The last few "region crossover" events made it very murky, and the new summer quest got me wondering again. Is going from one end of the continent to the other supposed to be a crazy journey only a weirdo like the Traveler would undertake, or something that anyone can do, so long as they can fend off the monsters?
The people in charge of TNG by that point were creatively bankrupt. It would have been a fiasco.
Also, the idea just doesn't fit Star Trek. It isn't a comic book franchise, where fan-pleasing callbacks and crossovers are baked into the formula. In Star Trek media, callbacks and crossovers have tended to be some of the worst stories.
Went back and checked: Walter was 50 at the start of the series. The series spanned two years of in-universe time, and he died at 52.
Anyway, the point stands. Cooking meth is a valid shared interest for an older man and a younger man to bond over.
