Eh, that's a few dozen steps removed. By that standard, every herbivore "uses" photosynthesis.

These guys (coral & lichen too) use photosynthesis much more directly, completely encapsulating the algea and supporting it internally. It's much closer to mitochondria.

Also, the cooling effect sulphate aerosols can cause only really happens at high altitudes. At low altitudes the reflected light is less likely to escape to space, and the aerosols fall out of the air faster.

Even if they reached high altitudes, one of the effects of being in the atmosphere is moving with the wind, across entire hemispheres. And at tropospheric heights, sulphates, their products, and other byproducts of combustion may destroy ozone at significant levels.

There may come a day where aerosol-based geo-engineering becomes a part of climate management, but it's definitely not with bunker fumes.

It would be really nice on less powerful hardware too. One picture gallery can eat all my RAM real fast.

One of the arguments for the electoral college was that news travels by horseback and a new development needed a representative at Washington to accout for it.

These representatives (electors) must therefore be able to vote differently that how they were asked to if they deem the situation requires it. Say it's uncovered that one candidate was plotting treason, or has a heart attack.

Because we can communicate instantaneously now, electors are not needed to vote for people or states anymore; a direct vote is easily accomplished.

The unfair allocation of those votes is a different aspect of the Electoral College, but also a reason to be rid of it.

Nauvis is "NAW - vis", like gnawing and aravice.

Vulcanus is "Vul - CAN - us", like Vulcan or Vulcanize

Gleba is more fun like "Glee - ba", but usually ends up being "glebbah".

Fulgora is "Full - GORE - ah" but I originally misread the name and said "Full - GROW - ah".

Aquilo is usually "A - QUILL - oh" but I accept arguments to pronounce it like Aquilae.

The DLC is two words: "Space - Age". Spaceage is whatever is dumped off a platform.

It's almost analogous. A more massive object experiences a larger force caused by gravity, so assuming the gravity field stays the same, a larger mass is heavier.

You're right that it's technically incorrect, especially when talking about something like moving the Earth with gravity.

Both accelerate at the same speed, but the bowling ball completes it's fall first because the Earth was pulled up to meet it. The bowling ball falls faster not because it's moving faster, but because it's fall is shorter.

Those are Rare panels, if you didn't notice.

Racism. The Jays in jaywalking where probably immigrants with weird hats.

Most entities have been changed to display all the signals on the input and output networks. It's very helpful.

I think the best method early game is quality modules in primary producers, like mining and smelting, and siphon them off for specialized factories of specific products, like personal robots or tanks.

Quality module 2s should make multi-quality factories more worth it.

Whales are surprisingly new.
