You're about to be raised as an undead by a necromancer. You have a choice what type of undead you come back as. What do you come back as?
  • Do souls have sizes, like "you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig"?

    Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.

    Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.

  • Which European Countries Dominate Global Exports in Specific Products? A Visual Breakdown of World Export Leaders
  • The whole seed oil thing isnt that much of a conspiracy as it is completely blown out of proportion.

    The core of it boils down to: An imbalance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids causes and/or worsens inflammatory conditions. Seed oils (sunflower, canola, peanut, soy bean), especially the highly refined varieties, typically contain was more O-6 than O-3 fatty acids. So, if you stop your brain there "seed oils bad, use olive, avocado or (as our chronically online right wing twitter users probably prefer) non vegetarian or vegan fats like butter or tallow".

    This however ignores and oversimplifies things massively. First of all, the balance between fatty acids is just one factor for inflammations. Secondly, hardly anybody consumes only one type of oil exclusively and especially not necessarily in the relevant amounts. Fried your mushrooms in canola and added them to a salad dressed in olive oil? Shouldnt be a problem.

    The real issue that doctors warned against was the amount of (seed) oils hidden in already highly processed foods - every type of fat is replaced by a cheap, neutral tasting oil, most often canola, sunflower or soy bean oil.

  • Share of the European Union's GDP in 2023
  • If being central is such a big advantage, how is it that countries like the UK and Japan (obviously not EU, but still) are in the same league as Germany while literally being islands bordering (nearly) no other countries.

  • About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin | The Guardian
  • Why the downvotes

    I for my part downvoted because it's just false equivalence. Cutting down a part of a commercial forest is pretty far from completely cutting "every single forest" in Sweden.

    Is it great that trees were cut down without replanting? No.

    Is there a perfectly cleared and infrastructurally connected plot of land in Brandenburg that Tesla could have used instead? Also no.

    Your comparison was basically the same as "We sell a plot of land to Elon? Why not just sell every plot of land to him then!".

  • If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?
  • Fair enough. Im in devops and the first thing I thought about was Jenkins, where "server" and "agent" fit quite well.

    I dont think master/slave is that good of a naming scheme for fault tolerance either, since the "slave" doesnt do work so that the master doesnt have to, but it's rather an active/reserve kind of thing.

    But I also admit that using different terms that fit best for every usecase would only cause more confusion than good.

  • If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience?
  • Im running Ubuntu on a Surface Pro 5 (i5 7300u, 8GB) with the linux-surface-kernel.

    Generally, things pretty much worked out of the box, the only tinkering I had to do was to optimize battery life / cpu power usage when not plugged in. Theres packages that will limit your CPU frequency depending on the status of your battery. I dont remember the exact name, but it was pretty much the first hit I googled "linux limit cpu power" or something like that. Without that, the battery life wasnt great, especially when watching YouTube, but with some tweaking and the proper h264/h265 drivers, my surface achieves some 3-4 hours of video playback right now.

    Other than that it's smooth sailing all the way.

  • Ukraine Must Pay Germany Back For Damage From Nord Stream Bombing: Bundestag Lawmaker
  • I am in fact German, I just wanted to make a joke that pointing out AfD being russia-financed nutcases will yield very little effect in a community like this one, because this sub is just as much a russian propaganda asset as r/conservative is over on reddit.

  • What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • As the inspiration yes. But Minecraft hunger games was the first to do it in gaming while also reaching maybe not more people than the movies, but definitly spreading to communities that the movies and books didnt reach (e.g. i didnt watch the movies until well over ten years after I had played my first game of MC hunger games)

  • What games popularized certain mechanics?
  • Minecraft Hunger Games, although a mod, is responsible for the Battle Royal hype aswell.

    So Minecraft caused Fortnite twice - once as a survival crafting and building game and then as a Battle Royal retaining some of these elements
