Hollow Knight is fantastic, one of the best Metroidvanias ever.

Chelsea and the 7 Devils is fun witu its time based powers.

Guacamelee is a bit too linear but good.

Salt and Sanctuary is Souls-like in 2D.

Super Cave Story is a classic, as well as VVVVVV.

I do, for interpersonal relationships and stress. It helps a lot, if only because you put clearly the problem on the table and can objectively analyze it.


Im looking forward to that.

Any ideas of what I can expect from a first meeting? She said that shell probably ask a lot of nosy questions that I have the right to not answer if I dont want to. What kinds of questions can I expect?


She wants to get a general picture to plan for future sessions. So basically, explain your problem (with as much detail as you're comfortable with for now) and what you are expecting her helping to do.

Expect questions about how you felt, rather than what happened.

Find Wally in the first 5 levels then go to Cape Canaveral in the map view.

Also I'm frustrated by finding the optional objectives from the book (Wally kids, items) and not being able to click them.

Which is kind of what I'm getting at. What is the overall impact of the 2025 EPA targets on all the industries that are tightly coupled to car companies, and is that change a net improvement or not? Arbitrarily saying to double a number that IIRC was already difficult to hit in such a short period of time is at worst impossible, but also possibly a huge negative impact on the overall supply chain. Real, productive, feasible improvements may involve a subtle change across multiple industries.


Tighter car norms will push R&D to develop better technology to get overall emissions down. It's a virtuous cycle, just not with current technology.

Do you happen to know what they are? Because I'm still curious about this:
s0nicfan posted...
The rules, aimed at cutting tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming, were one of the two pillars of Mr. Obamas climate change legacy. Put forth in 2012, they would have required automakers to nearly double the average fuel economy of new cars and trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.

Was this ever a feasible target, or was it an impossibly high one designed to kick the can down the road to future administrations?


This basically forces all new cars to be hybrids IMO. Or really efficient.


Don't batteries have a far bigger long-term impact on the environment? I did a quick google search and it sounds like the whole concept of hybrid/electric being "better" is a bit of a misnomer:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/electric-cars-are-not-necessarily-clean/


Environmental impact <> direct CO2 emissions. Imposing a full carbon balance on the car industry would break it.

It's not that "nobody enforces standards", it's that the EU hasn't finalized its target standards for 2025 and 2030, which would likely be Euro 7.

Euro 6 was put into place in September 2014 with some parts starting in 2015.


Euro VI targets mostly diesel particulates, so it's not that important compared to, say, Euro V which got the sulphur content in gasoline down to 10wtppm (thanks in part to a refinery unit designed by the company I work for).

Euro VII will possibly be a diesel ban.

Isn't it amazing that the EPA now bends over for the same companies that developed the catalytic converter and made cars that run on unleaded gasoline thanks to the EPA?

This administration is just pure garbage.


Fortunately the USA is not the leader on clean fuels anymore, we in Europe are. So Trump can do whatever he wants, the rest of the world will be adopting Euro VI soon thank you very much.

We do calculations by hand to check, we don't want to fully rely on spreadsheets so that people don't mindlessly copypaste other projects.

Plus, for small checks it's quicker than typing the formula.
