Was slightly worried to hear people thinking Ohio is at any risk of desertification is all :)

Here’s a map of the places that create diesel from crude oil. Note the north & south east where these shortages are occurring, and limited to.

It has been 45 years since a >200,000 barrel per day refinery was built in the US.
1998-2015 saw 0 upgrades to existing capacity or new builds. Since 2015, a handful of <50,000 barrel per day refineries have been built, but every single one is in Texas.
A native Xbox Series X test running at 60Hz gets an 85ms average - from a trigger pull to the first flash of gunfire. Xbox is far off a native PC result, which comes in at just 49ms. And the big surprise is that GeForce Now using the PC app beats a local Xbox Series X in latency, coming in at 81.7ms - while a Shield test is comparable to Xbox at 86ms.

It will never cease to amaze me how consistently far behind HN’s user base is on this topic, the average 20 something service worker will watch a movie like Dune on an illegal streaming site through their cracked phone screen in 720p, but we’re actually entertaining the idea non-PC native latency is a requirement for playing video games without spending >$500-$3k.
The market for these services is slightly larger and more diverse than the folks currently running 4K@144hz setups.
Mexico alone provides more crude oil to the US than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined, it is 2022, not 2001.

Neither of those countries pose an existential threat to the North American equivalent of Northern & Eastern Europe (who may take issue with a lack of enthusiasm in weakening Russia) either.
Getting the new MBP actually pushed me to GeForce Now at the time which can hit true 4k@120hz and stream at native Mac resolutions with eg ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 now up to 70Mbps, I highly recommend trying it out if you’re still interested in cloud gaming, the difference is quite drastic.
The specs are very specific to gaming, and anything similar (1440p@120hz) will include the cost of the hardware required for local gaming.
Never commit two crimes at the same time.
These figures will be updated to reflect an entirely different new world. They’re from 2021, the year before Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe’s energy supply was dramatically changed at both ends.
Natural gas in the EU is generally used to heat homes and power industry, it and other sources of energy aren’t immediately fungible.
I don’t subscribe to realism and don’t personally blame anyone but Russia and the EU member energy policies responsible for this situation unlike the Russian sympathetic commenter you originally responded to, but using pre war figures on top of pre export ban statistics does border closely on disingenuity given how loudly and rapidly changes have been occurring in 2022.
It’s now the largest LNG exporter in the world in 2022, though that hardly benefits the country directly in terms of making a pretty penny.
- The last thousand some years (in Europe)
- Widespread (in Europe)
- Half of recorded (European) history
You may have misread my original comment, the “limited effect” was to describe Europe’s influence at that particular point in time, not feudalism/Europe’s influence since then.
- Widespread (in Europe)
- Half of recorded (European) history
An exclusively European phenomenon, the bulk of which came and went while it was a backwater region with limited effect on the rest of the world.
If you’re in the US, try https://nttr.stream/ulturaltutor/status/1553472360434515973
It will routinely outperform a local series x (nevermind a PS5) given the right conditions, but that’s subject to your ISP, location, and probably not running CP2077 at maxed out ultra RTX graphics settings just yet.
All good, it's just a ton of numbers without explanations. Here's a couple very basic insights tho:
Grid frequency below 59.8 is always bad, 60 is perfect
Capacity should be at least 1 GW above demand
Demand equaling capacity is bad

You’re capable of more, we’re capable of more, this entire thread of yours is beneath us all.
Later this year, or whenever Microsoft upgrades xcloud if you’d like to actually enjoy playing it!
Being irrationally Americentric while simultaneously condescending to Europeans in characterizing the Libyan intervention as “US” gets both basic recent history wrong, and promulgates US > EU sentiment worryingly present on HN.
I’m doing my part, would you like to know more?
The effort was initially largely led by France and the United Kingdom, with command shared with the United States.
Both Libyan officials and international states and organizations called for a no-fly zone over Libya in light of allegations that Muammar Gaddafi's military had conducted airstrikes against Libyan rebels in the Libyan Civil War.

The fields and labs of Ames, Iowa are less visible and sexy than an SV startup or NYC / London / Dubai NGO, but I can assure you what you want exists en masse.
Mobile users, as a rule, rarely open an internet browser, they are redirected there.
It’s become a glorified zen-mode type feature for articles or indie web stores at this point for a substantial part of the population, especially young people, at least on iOS.
This is a huge reason why “Open this in our app!1!” is a thing as well. The alternative isn’t browsing a mobile site through Safari, it’s using whatever social media app led you there in the first place.
It’s a big issue, ERO can’t even perform their own workplace raids/political stunts so they co-opt the serious agency for it whenever the winds in DC blow the right direction.
Blown in part by the infamous “ICE union” of course, while hilariously, the HSI agents performing the stunts aren’t even unionized.
But because DHS is, has, and will probably continue to be in disarray merely confronted with its daily agenda, it’s always going to be a “bad time” to look at finally separating the two.
This isn’t the deportation agency, it’s the investigative arm of the DHS (and that they hate the deportation agency & confusion between the two is putting it lightly).
ICE ERO (Enforcement Removal Operations) = brownshirts, entirely immigration
Two separate agencies with two separate missions, and this is about HSI.
