I used to love Mitch Hedberg references. I still do, but I used to, too.

Comment I saw elsewhere was :

Banished meets city skylines meets total war.

All great games and this supposedly brings them together well

I have a room that I want to add 1000w per hour of heat energy to

I have the options of:

• burning 1050W of gas per hour
• running a 1000W theoretically lossless electric resistive heater per hour
• running a 600W heat pump per hour

Sure, the gas is combusting, the resistive is radiating, and the pump is moving the heat, but functionally they're all trying to add that 1000W to the room continually for an hour. One of them is doing it a whole lot more efficiently.

Hey, pedant here.

Air conditioners are heat pumps too, and it's not the reversing valve that differentiates them. Heat pumps move heat, reversing valve let's you decide which way to move it.

Just wait till they find out about regular paper printers...

Usd for a gallon right? Blows my mind how cheap your fuel is.

You don't have to seed. Connections are secure and encrypted. Speed is generally much faster, and more reliable. Things will either download in full, or fail pretty quickly, no hoping that 1 seeder comes online. Things are often posted to Usenet before torrents.

There are drawbacks too though.

This is probably the best example I've seen of "let them think you're an idiot, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt".

Faster, encrypted, no need to seed. Yep, sure is terrible.
