I want to identify the memory hog(s) first so I can determine the next course of action.
Suddenly seeing a black screen with an Apple while I'm in the middle of something important is irritating at best, especially when it happens repeatedly and I haven't pinned down the RC.
I didn't see it mentioned but I had heard that the Haitians deforested most of their more mountainous side of Hispaniola so what little top soil was there was washed away. This is also why there is a torrential flood risk especially during and after tropical storms.
The Cibao on the Dominican side is a really fertile and productive agricultural area.
Haitians are pretty much screwed, especially with friends like the Clinton Foundation, who needs enemies.
Huh? Inflation is very real. The dollars I saved from 20 years ago buy a lot less across the consumer spectrum. Prices don't go up, the money's purchasing power goes down. That is not a "boogeyman", it's theft by the inflation tax.
Technically, Ikea is a Swedish multinational conglomerate whose retail locations are partly associated with a Dutch non-profit "Stichting_INGKA_Foundation" founded by Ikea's founder.
Essentially, Ikea is profitable because it utilizes a tax-avoidance strategy involving the use of a non-profit and so your comment is in my opinion basically true and they are "cheating" a bit. A pretty slick cheat, though.
Also, thank you for shining a light on this as I was ignorant of the whole thing.
Why is this being downvoted? Because of someone else's tip, I tried tweeting these 7 characters: gtv.org and had my account locked within 3 seconds.
What kind of orwellian shit is that?!? The twitter account itself was used very sparingly to upload content from my PS4, not controversial in the least.
There is very clearly an agenda being applied here. Which is fine with me because this kind of repression is indication of desperation.
I consistently score INTP. Another account which I have about 8 years of sometimes voluminous comment history with for non-technical topics produces the same results in the same order. Hmm, maybe I'm turning into an INTJ with age... Kind of makes sense.
Like others, I'm wondering what the "controversiality" value indicates.
Yes and in fact, that might be an easier start to a Paradox Interactive game. My first PI game was Stellaris which I quickly racked up hundreds of hours in and despite several major changes by the devs in mechanics it's still easy to jump back in to. I feel like it's a worthy successor to SMAC with its own uniqueness.
But EUIII, EUIV, CKII, HoI? Considerably steeper learning curve, IMO! I've spent over a hundred hours just trying to take over Ireland (the traditionally newb scenario) in CKII.
I would not suggest jumping from a Civ to any Paradox title except Stellaris. There's enough of Paradox's goofiness in the space combat ("whaa... I slaughtered the enemy, how do I not get their planets... war exhaustion, wtf is that... oh that kind of makes sense") and lots of visual feedback to keep you interested without making you cry too much.
One of my starry-eyed dreams if I ever get a sufficient pile of money and power is to start a research foundation that gives smart people somewhere else to go besides the Pentagon or Wall Street.
My theory is I offload computation to a larger compute node, e.g. subconscious.
Something I picked up from my 7th grade english teacher, once feeling blocked or otherwise done all you can, go do other stuff and let the subconscious work on it. He meant it in context with creative writing but I think it applies for any other profession that requires problem solving.
Sleep, particularly - I often wake up the next day after struggling with a problem with the obvious solution gleaming in my mind's eye.
