have you told the people around you that you are looking for that support and that its motivating?

I think you will find that creative works are no more fulfilling than bike rides when you actually get into it. There's no separate magic to it, and a good chance you wont remember doing either of them after some time

you need technical skill to apply it creatively. a rhythm game will help develop rhythm skill, which can then be used to make new rythms creatively

I'm a fan of rhythm games, as well as making music. Both are skills, but the game is a pale shade when by comparison IMHO. Monochrome vs the rainbow. OP said they're looking for long-term fulfillment and creative growth. I don't think rhythm games satisfy either, but well, you know, that's just like uh, my opinion man.

> e.g a phone with a glued battery can have 5000mAh but the same phone with a more durable battery connector can only be 4500mAh.

alternatively, i can trade more bulk for more battery. if its got a connector, why cant i put a bigger batter in the slot that sticks out?

That brings back memories! Yes, many devices before iPhone had normalized internal batteries indeed had aftermarket extended batteries. They would come with matching bulged back covers to fit the significantly oversized battery.

That's true even today for HAM radio handhelds. There is a cottage industry of ever larger snap on batteries for Baofengs and others. Very handy.

Random thought: Maybe Apple should use radioisotope batteries to never have to change them, ever. I jest.

They could make an RTG battery out of Promethium-147, a beta-emitter with half-life of 2.6 years and history of use in nuclear batteries, or Iron-55, an x-ray source with similar half-life. That would be perfect and totally on-brand for Apple, as the battery would naturally force the phone to be replaced in 3 years, and they'd have a solid safety/security justification for why any repair or replacement must be done in authorized Apple stores, by authorized personnel, with authorized parts and equipment. In a store where you could, oh so conveniently, just buy a new iPhone.

My early iPhones had external battery cases, which even when attached (when travelling a long distance) were smaller than modern iPhones in the important dimensions.

And it was pretty great... No to mention the shell swaps, etc...

Thinkpad T480, with dual battery was a really great idea

nothing would prevent putting a nuke on the drone, and making a it a tactical nuke delivery system. you can have them as big or small as you want, and in air, on the surface, or under the water.

you are applying arbitrary constraints to a thing thats just "put an rc controller on it"

ukrainian drones are doing something like 700 miles to hit the oil ports in primorsk. its not the 2500 miles that a missile might do for hitting diego garcia, but nothing says you could get one to. after all, a b2 bomber can go on long flights. put controller on it, and control it via a satellite, and the b2 becomes a drone

the weapons are put in container slots.

something like a spiderweb container isnt going to be visible just looking at the ship

you wouldnt think ukraine would be able to drive its semi trucks right up to russian nuclear bombers, but they did

the world is getting close to being an rts though.

real time top down view everywhere all at once, but with commands and targets being set with a ton of parallelism - many rts players at once picking who to send where for the same team

if the US ever trains with ukraine like the brits did, youll find that the current doctrine has no ability to move against ukrainian defensive lines.

this is the current state of the art. it will be a major innovation if somebody figures out something better than "travel during fog"

that didn't cross the red line, and the US has a phone call to talk it over and that Russia's policy for using nukes hadnt been breached

Red lines have been crossed repeatedly.

however, nato is fighting the full might of china, russia, iran, and north korea. the whole set. and china is fighting for both ukraine and russia at the same time. why arent you worried about nato randomly attacling china so china stops supplying russia with drone materials? or north korea so they stop providing shells and soldiers?

russia isnt going to attack nato because it knows it isnt currently fighting nato, and bringing nato into the war will be worse for russia than keeping nato as an arms supplier only.

you can look into game theory and crisis bargaining to see when and when not nukes make sense.

theyre very expensive to use, so the benefits of war have to be extraordinary to match

game theory assumes rational actors

It wouldn’t be wrong. Nixon got drunk and called for a nuclear strike on North Korea. Kissinger told everyone to ignore this order and the world did not blow up that day.

Putin seems to fairly consistently do what is best for Putin. Using nukes would probably have him rapidly end up like Khamenei senior.
