Looks like a mirror. That account also has channels for VisualPolitik EN, FRANCE 24, LastWeekTonight with John Oliver and others

Nazis did Gleichschaltung, which wasn’t as much about owning, but about control. They centralized stuff, subverted and merged organizations. But indeed they also expropriate a couple of groups and looted other countries. That usually became national or party property. But people also took stuff for themselves. And they also destroyed property … like book burnings. The Nazis didn’t do well economically. It was part of their plan to loot and exploit other countries. German economy became most efficient when there were already fights on German soil, which means they didn’t work as efficiently as possible before that. England did a lot better due to having John Maynard Keynes on their side.

Is that also an EP of Boards of Canada?

But what does he think of Trans Canada Highway?

Don’t give the wrong people ideas.

Are you talking about stuff like this? https://josm.openstreetmap.de/mapsview?entry=Hesse+DOP20

According to geoportal.hessen.de Hesse DOP20 is already open data and uses DL-DE->Zero-2.0 license. Though I don’t know how it is in different states/nation wide.

These photos already look better than what Google Earth supplies and they get updated every 2 years.

And technically it surpasses it by far. You might notice that a lot of roofs look a bit weird and pixelated at the edges. They correct the position of high places to counter the camera angle. Generally the angles are also better than what Google supplies.

Why did I squint my eyes when I could’ve already read it in the preview? -.-

So you always have to take a multiple of two eggs? Well it’s unarguably visually pleasing

Or replace them with newer, taller wind turbines. Turbines get higher and higher to harvest higher winds, which are more reliable if I understand it correctly. But seems these also have less fatalities … if less birds fly at that hight.

Question is if they can even see that. Such things are usually optimized for our eyes. It’s faster than our eye can handle and we blur it together, but I wouldn’t be surprised if (some) birds can see fast motions better than we do, after all they naturally travel at far higher speeds than we do.

The most direct tools the EU has is an European Citizens' Initiative. With that citizens can directly propose a directive or regulation to the European Commission. If that goes well, citizens will meet EU officials, have a public hearing at the European Parliament to explain their initiative. Within half a year the commission has to reply, but they always can reject the proposal. It requires 1 million valid signatures and they have to be from at minimum 7 EU countries. That’s 0.2% of the voters and 25% of the member states.

That indeed differs from how a popular initiative in Switzerland works. The % of needed signatures is 5 times higher, but if it gets rejected a popular vote would follow. That kind of vote would be hard to transform into EU rules. For this Swiss popular vote a majority of given votes has to be yes, but additionally there has to be a majority in the majority of the Kantons. Switzerland already has some population differences between their Kantons, Jura has less than half the population of Zürich. In EU that is a lot more extreme, Germany has 158 times the population of Malta. In EU half of the members would be 14 countries and the smallest 14 countries only represent 11.5% of the total population.

EU doesn’t even have a uniform voting system. The elections to the European Parliament already are distorted because the value of a single vote depends on the size country it’s from. Generally it’s proportional voting, but the details differ by country and that includes whether they use open lists, semi-open lists or closed lists and they use different formulas to allocate the seats. In regard to the voting rules that is probably the most diverse vote in the world. Some countries split themselves further into parts, so different regions vote for only a part of their seats. Active (16-18) and passive (18-25) voting ages differ. Belgium has compulsory voting. When you reside in a different country you can either vote their or in your home country. Since the voting age differs, that means some can vote earlier than other citizens from their country. They don’t even vote on the same day, a few vote for longer than just one day. Availability and form of absentee voting differs. Some countries have compulsory voting. A few countries vote with single tranferable vote, some do panachage, but most do open lists.

(First floor.) Ration of Food blocks the door. Mage pretty much starts with everything you need to solve that room.

Edit: This seed is crazy, already with artifact and wand on the first three floors. LBX-MZH-SYDv2.5.2 (Mage; On Diet&Faith Is My Armor&Forbidden Runes)

 

I started wondering whether this breaks Roguelike-ness, since a run gets influenced by external factors.

I was trying to bake some meringue and playing with aquafaba, but I tend cook chickpeas myself and store them dried otherwise. But aquafaba-based recipes usually assume you buy precooked chickpeas in a glass.

Then I found this article, which explores how to cook chickpeas so the cooking water can be used for aquafaba recipes.

 

Let’s talk about some UI/quality of life stuff. I was about to open issue, but since it touches a bunch of different topics, I guess a discussion is better. It’s a bunch of things that were annoying to me over the last months. It doesn’t mean that something has to change, could just be that I overlooked some features somewhere.

  • Special floor explanations on mobile
    • The desktop version of ShPD allows to hover the floor indicator, but I can’t find an equivalent for touch on mobile
  • Ignore invisible mobs and allies for automatic movement
    • To some degree automatic movement reveals positions of mobs
    • If you have 10 wraiths active on the floor or something like that, the character runs aimlessly back and forth without even reaching his destination
    • It’s better to get stuck than wasting satiation
  • Optional auto aiming button for touch input that works like tab with keyboard input

Fat finger syndrome stuff:

  • Targeting yourself by clicking on your portrait or hitting the shortcut for hero info
    • I had it happen a bunch of times that I accidentally shot my wand in some direction instead of shielding myself, which can be a serious problem with wand of blast/fire/disintegration
    • Also relevant for ghost guiding
  • Optional "Are you sure?" popups for automatic movement
    • It happens that you accidentally run somewhere when input for zooming/panning failed
  • Optional visual aid for aiming and maybe optional confirmation if you really wanna shoot/throw to tile without mob
    • Did I touch the right tile and not a neighboring one?
      • A classic is to shoot a tile adjacent to a mob
    • Can I even hit that mob/trap?
    • Would I hit my allies?
    • It’s sometimes hard to tell if it would hit a wall edge or not
    • It should only respect revealed stationary environments and visible mobs, but not 100% show where it actually hits since that would reveal invisible entities

Those are especially related to taking a longer break and picking up a save game after months:

  • Notes for floors
    • Did I find hidden doors on that floor with extra secrets?
    • Did I use scroll of mapping?
    • What did the quest say? Did I already finish that quest?
    • Did I use all blacksmith options already?
    • Did I solve all puzzles or were some potions missing for them?
    • Such notes should probably be accessible via “Landmarks” interface
    • Currently I use Steam overlay notes for that, but that’s a dissatisfying solution since it’s completely closed source
  • Notes for unidentified potions/scrolls/items (extends the previous point)
    • On what floor did I find this potion/scroll?
    • Who dropped it?
    • Was it in a chest/grave?
    • Maybe should be automatically deleted when identified
  • Ability to ⭐ items
    • If I remember correctly, Borderlands 2 and Victor Vran allowed to mark items that you wanna continue to use to simplify selling not needed stuff
    • It’s hard to remember your setup if you didn’t play for some time
  • More save game infos like "last played at XXX" and "save game of game version XXX"
    • Though savegame should probably not be overwritten if you didn’t do any significant actions since opening the save game, dunno how that’s currently handled
 

If the curse triggers inside the shop, the shopkeeper will disappear. I’m glad I had time to equip the hourglass

 

Are there some know issues with Tokodon and NeoChan on Android?

When I open them on Lineage 20 they just immediately close. They don’t trow any errors and don’t really know how to debug them.

 

I'm always glad when I find the rose early on. Switching places with it is a lot more useful theb wraiths

 

Neat reimplementation of WarCraft III tower defense map YouTD. Engine is Godot 4. Though most graphics are AI generated.

 

I just ran into a succubus and an evil eye. The succubus became a wraith when I killed it. The evil eye then fought against the wraith and shot at it, but they often just evade it and don’t take any damage. Then I killed it with my corrupting glaive.

My setup is neat for these floors. Wand of Prismatic Lightning gives me sight in the dark dungeons and renders evil eyes and scorpions basically harmless when it blinds them. That wand is only +1, but my Staff of Magic Missile +15 can give it quite some punch. For scorpion that means I have to tank one projectile, but evil eye charges slower. Though that wand is directly followed by Wand of Frost in effectiveness, which makes it for scorpions impossible to escape melee and evil eyes charge long enough to hit them twice and run away.

 

Apparently it isn’t that hard to survive the 248 damage from upgrading it. 155hp, 92 shielding from self-targeting with wand and Scroll of Challenge halving the damage. (ShPD 2.2.1)

 

Didn’t it trigger Inscribed Power in the past? Without that this skill becomes somewhat useless.
