Sadly almost all these comments are wrong. I work in a computer shop and we see the scam you’re talking about all the time. It happened because you unknowingly opened an ad. So you clicked on a button that looked legitimate like “download” or “next” or whatever, and that pops up full screen. The fix is a good ad blocker like ublock origin. Google’s being a piece of shit right now about ad blockers so I recommend something Firefox-based for effective ad blocking.

Super tall mountains do stay snow-capped but that starts at elevation roughly double of where I live.

So that is true in terms of convection heat. Aka the sun gets the air hot, then the air gets you hot. When you’re in the shade, this is how you feel heat in high altitude. At sea level this is also mostly how you feel heat.

The difference is radiation heat. When you’re in the thinner atmosphere you get more UV light and it heats you directly. UV can also penetrate skin a certain amount so it heats you inside too. You also burn super fast up high.

Logically I know that of course.

Friendly reminder, this is specifically a thread about petty and pedantic topics. I self-nominated as pedantic here.

I like that and it’s probably the right metric tbh. But in terms of just linear distance it makes my blood itch lmao

Yes! That’s another one for sure. I personally can let that one go however. But as for heat, I have studied it formally and something about makes me need to fix the misinformation.

So not to be pendantic (lol), but this is the definition of a pendant:

noun noun: pedant; plural noun: pedants

a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.

With pedantic of course meaning acting in that way. I feel like pointing out my technical knowledge is unnecessary in the grand scheme of things but even if I try to let it go my brain will hang on to it until I tell them, even if that is much later on.

That said, hopefully it’s not pointless to share!

I live in a high altitude area. It gets very hot. People will say that it’s because we’re “closer to the sun” as if the _6000ft/1800m difference is what matters vs the 93,000,000mi/150,000,000km distance to the sun is affected by something so small.

The difference is the lack of atmosphere to soften the various types of light from the sun.

Destiny 2 should be in that list. It’s all meta builds.

I’ll also mention the opposite. I got back into Rocket League. I originally had about 300hrs in it and stopped playing for a couple years. I have put maybe another 30hrs in since coming back and it’s exactly as I left it. Maybe a couple menus have changed but it was very simple to get back into.
