I believe that's what dark energy is- the shortfall from not violating conservation of energy, given what we know about physics vs what we observe in the universe.

I'm not sure if this answers the question, but it might help.

Everything in space is moving, but it's not expanding outward from a central point, like an explosion. Instead, the space between the things is getting bigger.

The balloon analogy gets thrown around a lot, but I find it misleading- It's not about the balloon getting bigger, expanding outward from the center of the sphere. It's more about the surface of that balloon stretching.

The rubber sheet analogy helps. Scatter a bunch of things on a infinite rubber sheet. Now stretch that in all directions - the things get further apart, but are not moving away from a central point.

I like it because it reduces bin juice.

My favourite part was when I clicked the "who's this for?" link.

I'm interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

I'm no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

At least, that's my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning..

Sorry! That's the one. Nice work!

Ooh, fun. May I?

Each player had a single movement piece that went around the perimeter of the board. There was four short sections that went into the middle of the board, but offset, one dedicated to each player. I think there was a couple sections where you could 'slide' your piece, snakes and ladders style. If an opposing piece was on the 'slide ' you would knock them back some squares.

If it's non-critical, with a bit of work it can be made 'waterproof', at least at 1atm. But realistically, unless you need a specific shape, it's going to be easier and more reliable to just use an off-the-shelf case.

I use an old Stream Deck- not the Steam deck- from Elgato. It's essentially a small touchscreen with a transparent button pad laid over the top, making for a fully programmable macropad with fully customisable screen-per-key.

Not only can I have esoteric shortcuts, but I can also dynamically label them, depending on layer. I have a 'home' layer with icons representing each other layer. So, for example I can load up a video game, and press the corresponding icon on my macropad. It will then change the icons to match whatever command it does- various whistle commands in Ark, for example. I can then change programs into my CAD, and have the icons now be various shortcuts for modelling tools.

They're actually a pretty cool company- If you sent them an email clarifying their refund policy first, I'm sure they would refund you if it doesn't do what you need it to.

Amongst the other junk, yeah. It did pick up a metal top hat at some point, it thinks that oozing that out to perch on top makes it look more approachable and friendly. Along with the pipe. It kind of works, but its penchant for collecting teeth, and asking strangers if they would like to trade for ones it doesn't have, kind of ruin that impression.

The initial idea was that I was actually playing as a sentient magic item that increased intelligence of the wearer. The original user was killed in the dungeon, then hoovered up by a gelatinous cube, and the magic item took over.

The others sit across the whole spectrum from that sort of unhinged to straight up wizard.
