I'm not quite sure how that math is supposed to work. 30% of household water usage is 30% of household water usage (which is indeed huge; if 30% is allocated to lawn maintenance, the remaining top 3 water consumers of showers, laundry, and toilets are all going to be less than that). That it only amounts to 6% of state water usage (which is also huge for a single item, especially a single item that's so unnecessary) is more a reflection of how much greater non-household water usage (mostly agriculture) is than household. There's no reason to multiply those together.

If you want to quibble about the percentages then fine. When you separate business and municipal water usage - residential usage is even lower at about 3% of the total water usage for the state. So literally 1% of water usage in the entirety of the state is devoted to watering lawns. Oh my god the horror.

If you want to go down the 'necessary' route then you could argue very little water usage is necessary. I could piss in a hole in the ground and save 2 gallons of water or whatever it is to flush every time I expel my bodily fluids. I could use baking soda to scrub my armpits to keep the stank off instead of taking a shower. Why not right? I could be saving a whole tenths of a percent of water usage by convincing every person in the world to do it.

Furthermore, as many people have said, nobody's suggesting the whole lawn should be turned into rocks. Just that a giant field of grass is largely useless and substantially better things (that aren't just rocks) could be done with the land.

Timmy - go long! Just snake your way through the barrel cactus and you'll be fine.

Pretty much any plant can make all of those claims, and do so better than grass can. Clover in particular absorbs more heat (by virtue of being a darker colour), yields more net CO2 absorption (by not growing high enough to warrant mowing and therefore not producing nearly as much biomass that's destined to decompose), and forms a stronger root structure that's better for preventing erosion. All while also using less water, naturally outcompeting weeds to negate the need for herbicides or manual weeding (which causes more soil erosion by disturbing root structures), and self-fertilizing.

No they can't. I don't think you can find a single ground cover that can hold up to traffic that does not require watering of the same frequency or more so than water in a desert climate. A combination of variety grasses is the only natural ground cover that can weather high traffic areas, hold up in a desert climate (with watering once or twice a week).

Artificial grass exists, sure, but it doesn't have any of the above benefits and I would argue has a significantly greater impact ecologically than grass does. Not to mention it feels like shit. It gets hot as shit. There's no possibility for a breakdown of natural materials in artificial grass, etc.

adjl posted...
There are plenty of alternatives to grass that are just as good for play areas. Pure clover isn't quite hardy enough to handle really high traffic, but many better options exist.

No.

adjl posted...
It's less a matter of not wanting a lawn and more a matter of not wanting so much land to be wasted on harmful, useless grass lawns. There's plenty of benefit to having the space for a lawn, just not filling it with grass.

If you just want something to look at - then don't have a lawn. You don't need it. If you want it to have a purpose and look good? Have a lawn.

so do it in a park or field? idk why not having a lawn means you're playing in rocks

I would prefer my kids to stay in my yard to play with their friends. Or at the very least a neighbors/their friends yard at least while they're young. I also don't want to have to take my dog to the dog park every time they want to go out and play.

Contrary to popular belief - yards are not that costly to maintain. Roughly 30% of water user for the average household is devoted to watering the lawn which sounds like a big deal until you figure out that ALL water usage for lawns (residential, business, and municipal) is using about 6% of the total water consumption in my state at least and I live in a desert. That's including the inefficiencies, people watering at stupid times of the day, etc.

So you could potentially save a whopping 30% of 6% (1.8%) of water usage in a desert state by converting every bit of grass to rocks.

Yay.

Also, lawns absorb heat (which extends to your home and reduces the need for AC). Lawns absorb CO2. And they're better at preventing soil erosion than its counterparts.

Can I live without a lawn? Sure. Do I want to so I could potentially save 1.8% of the state water supply? Nah.

People that don't want lawns can buy a house that doesn't have a lawn. Most of the shitty houses being built today are built with virtually no land and might as well be townhomes. On the other hand, I enjoy my lawn and will continue to enjoy it.

Owning a house instead of a condo or co op is dumb.

A ton of hidden costs.

buying any home is also financially idiotic if you move every 5 years like a great deal of people do.

unless there is a drastic upswing in residential property values in your neighborhood and thats the reason for the sale then odds are the price you are selling it at will not net you much of a profit given that to the early part of those mortgage payments you are making very little of it goes to pay off your principal.
dont belive me google any amortization schedule.

what youve just said is very dumb

It's not that unusual for "live service" games. Incorporating content based on other IP's can draw new players to the game, creating the opportunity to engage them and keep them playing (and paying) even after the content is gone.

Sure but these people are paying actual money for skins and characters. Granted, in this case, it sounds like they get to keep whatever limited license to use those characters for the player base, but they're taking away the map they're attached to and I wouldn't be surprised if other IP's fall into a situation where they can't continue to keep even the base characters.

It also restricts other players from buying those characters in the future which, in Dead by Daylight's case, mean's that attributes and perks that can only be obtained by those characters are effectively now locked out to any new players. I don't recall if the Nancy/Steve characters have any perks that are part of the 'meta', nor do I recall if the Demogorgon has any that are part of the killer 'meta', but if they did then those things would no longer be available to a vast swath of the community. That's a pretty significant deal in what is kind of a pay-to-win game.

I don't personally buy any of these new things just to play towards the meta because I don't care about winning as an end all be all goal, but a lot of people do.

I suspect part of the reason they refer to other characters not as their character name but other stuff I suspect because it would make it easier for them to de-IP their character. For example, Michael Myers is referred to as "The Shape". All it would take for him not to be Michael Myers is basically change his original character skin and remove that from being available while maintaining the character/gameplay he brought to the table.

The RE update fucked the game up really bad. I think you can play the RPD map now but it was locked for at least a month if it still isn't.

Did it? Welp. Maybe it aint time to come back then. I don't understand how Behaviour operates sometimes. It seems like they like to fuck with their playerbase for shits and giggles.

I attacked trump for betraying deals made before he took office.

This is a bad deal and plan Trump made and Biden went through with it.

I would be a hypocrite to be upset at Biden over it.

There's a difference between going through with a bad deal and executing it this poorly. I'm fairly certain the Trump deal did not include "abandon all bases overnight and leave all the equipment for incoming Taliban to take while we rush everyone to the airport and have to start airlifting people out of embassies".

Yes, ultimately Trump struck the deal (which, incidentally Biden didn't follow through on considering this was supposed to happen back in March), but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been handled much better.

Don't try and shift the blame from someone who definitely shares in it.

It's weird that they would build content around a license they can't keep. But if it's just the lab map I don't see why they couldn't just call it like, anything else and just keep the map anyway.

But hellraiser is the shit. I haven't played for about a year but it might be time to come back maybe. Still gotta see the RE update.
