Do souls have sizes, like "you need at least the soul of a medium sized dog or pig"?

Because if every soul is worth equally much, just set an anthill on fire and be done for the foreseeable future.

Of course, as your next course of action, you should make up for the damage done to your local eco system, but that should be doable within the powers and lifespan of a lich.

Compared to (parts of) the US, we might aswell be.

Why the downvotes

I for my part downvoted because it's just false equivalence. Cutting down a part of a commercial forest is pretty far from completely cutting "every single forest" in Sweden.

Is it great that trees were cut down without replanting? No.

Is there a perfectly cleared and infrastructurally connected plot of land in Brandenburg that Tesla could have used instead? Also no.

Your comparison was basically the same as "We sell a plot of land to Elon? Why not just sell every plot of land to him then!".

An extinguisher that can actually handle Lithium fires though. A regular CO2 extinguisher wont do anything against burning Lithium

Fair enough. Im in devops and the first thing I thought about was Jenkins, where "server" and "agent" fit quite well.

I dont think master/slave is that good of a naming scheme for fault tolerance either, since the "slave" doesnt do work so that the master doesnt have to, but it's rather an active/reserve kind of thing.

But I also admit that using different terms that fit best for every usecase would only cause more confusion than good.

We're using server and agent, but im also a proponent of "captain" and "crew"

The same kind of idiot that conveniently ignores all the hormones in meat and dairy used to maximize profit

As the inspiration yes. But Minecraft hunger games was the first to do it in gaming while also reaching maybe not more people than the movies, but definitly spreading to communities that the movies and books didnt reach (e.g. i didnt watch the movies until well over ten years after I had played my first game of MC hunger games)

I couldnt find a release history for the Minecraft mod, however according to the following article, it was released about a year before the original PlayerUnknown mod for DayZ / Arma 3.

Or just GT, since thats the two letters they also use for their diesels (GTD) and plug in hybrids (GTE).

They could have also gone with GTID, still GTI, but also ID, their EV brand.

Marketing people make up the stupidest shit. "Grand Turismo Intelligence".

Why not just say "I" stands for current. It's literally the symbol for that. So it'd be Grand Turismo, but electric.
