oniony Link ParentAfter playing Balatro many times I went looking for more deck builders and found Inscryption which so far has been amazing.

Comment on India electrified 45% of its railway network in just five years in ~transport
oniony LinkStrange key on the map in that article, with a 98–100% range and a separate ≥100% range. I guess greater than 100% means they built extra track just so they could electrify it.Strange key on the map in that article, with a 98–100% range and a separate ≥100% range.

Comment on What are your favorite series that are not from the US or UK and also not popular anime? in ~tv
oniony Link ParentIt's very well done, though I've not read the books. I also found out from watching it that I actually understand Portuguese, so that's something I can add to my CV.It's very well done, though I've not read the books.

- Home button that I can't remove
- When I accidentally create a new, blank tab, I can't simply swipe the address bar like I normally do as that opens the keyboard instead, which I have to close in order to get to the tabs button to get back to my previous tab
- Often a tab stops working: refreshing and changing the URL do nothing

They have to compete challenges and quite often they'll have a diplomacy or traitor element.
Some of the games seemed to run a bit long: I think the designers will refine this on subsequent series, but it was otherwise very good.

- Just wanted to clarify to readers of your comment that "cold" is the absence of "heat" and not its own thing. A Thermos does not trap cold in the bottle, per se, it traps heat outside the bottle from warming your cold drink.
- You missed an explanation of radiation.
- You say steel is a poor heat conductor, but it's not that poor. A metal spoon left in boiling water for a few minutes will be hot enough that it's uncomfortable to handle. Compare that to a plastic or wooden spoon: materials that are far worse at conducting heat. It's actually the cavity between the two the walls of the flask that is providing the bulk of the thermal insulation.

Sacred Hunger by Barry Unsworth. It's a Booker prize winner from the 90s about the building and journey of a slave ship in the 18th century.
I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far but I'm having to look up on average a word a page, as it uses quite alot of uncommon words :).
