They aren’t the good guys. A lot (too much if you ask the community) of the fiction is told from the perspective of the imperium/space Marines, but that doesn’t make them the good guys.

They go around saying things like “The rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal.” They clearly are not meant to be the good guys, even in their own stories.

The problem is media literacy is so poor that far too many people look at quotes like that and think “that’s a good point”. Even the creators have put out press releases about how all the fascists are missing the point.

You can fly in space towards the planets you can see. When you get there, you won’t be able to land and will be able to fly straight through the planet itself.

Planets outside of the fast travel menu aren’t really planets

Those without respiratory issues don’t have oxygenation issues while wearing masks.

The same air is going into your lungs, the only difference is your diaphragm has to work harder due to the filtering effect of the mask. If it can’t manage that, then you are likely already on oxygen due to low tidal volume and chronic hypoxia.

You can buy a pulse oximeter from CVS for like $20 and test this yourself if you don’t believe me.

This is exactly what it must be doing.

Graphene is above 0K -> the atoms have some thermal energy -> harvest some of that energy as electrical potential -> graphene cools down.

The most interesting application to me is that this could be use to remove heat at an interface without needing a thermal gradient to transport the heat.

Contrails contribute to heating because they block light emmited from Earth’s surface from exiting the atmosphere. It is the same mechanism by which natural cloud cover contributes to heating.

During the day, the effect is largely neutral with respect to warming. Clouds will block some sunlight and block some reflected light, net effect is roughly zero. During nighttime, however, they only block the Earth’s surface radiation from discarding energy to soace and thereby act like a blanket, trapping heat. It is the reason why overcast nights do not cool as much from the day time high temperature.

Fun fact, the days after 9/11, where all US flights were grounded, had a 2-degree Celsius increase in the range of temperatures experienced from the daily high to nightly low compared to the surrounding days with normal levels of air travel.

A cleric can be a competent martial class for the beginning of the game. Falls behind true martials after those get extra attacks, but by then clerics have 3rd level spells.

The 433.7 million is after paying taxes on the lump sum.

It is missing oil and gas extraction. There are 23 million acres under lease for O&G, roughly 50% in active production. That is 1/6th the area dedicated to pasturelands, so it should definitely show up on the map.
