I beat it for the first time a couple years ago. Not too shabby. I think I had to look up how to do the platforming in xen.

Blue shift and Opposing force are neat add-ons to hl1.

Now you’re thinking with portals.

I’m thinking solar is hard.

Remember Berlin has a latitude of 52.5°. That puts it far north of the 49th parallel border.

Sigh. This is my last explanation and there are plenty of explanations in this thread. I’m taking small liberties to get the point across:

In North America it’s cold Dec to Feb.

In Europe it’s cold Jan to March. Europe has a bigger lag in cold temperatures because of their geography.

Two things because I’m not sure what you’re referencing. 1) We inherited a shit ton of European norms and terminology. 2) The cold weather in Europe has much more lag because of their geography. Large bodies of water, which Europe is surrounded by on 3 sides, smooths out and slows temperature changes.

An old answer I saw said that Europe (where conventions originated) has a bigger lag in temperatures than North America has. We both lag and the lowest temps are commonly in Jan-Feb.

It’s from wikipedia so you don’t have to save.

Interesting.

Now I’m off to find how a mfing snake ever became a symbol of health.

The Rod of Asclepius takes its name from the Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicinal arts in ancient Greek religion and mythology. Asclepius’ attributes, the snake and the staff, sometimes depicted separately in antiquity, are combined in this symbol.[2][full citation needed]

In honour of Asclepius, a particular type of non-venomous rat snake was often used in healing rituals, and these snakes – the Aesculapian snakes – crawled around freely on the floor in dormitories where the sick and injured slept. These snakes were introduced at the founding of each new temple of Asclepius throughout the classical world.

The significance of the serpent has been interpreted in many ways; sometimes the shedding of skin and renewal is emphasized as symbolizing rejuvenation,[8][a] while other assessments center on the serpent as a symbol that unites and expresses the dual nature of the work of the Apothecary Physician, who deals with life and death, sickness and health.[10] The ambiguity of the serpent as a symbol, and the contradictions it is thought to represent, reflect the ambiguity of the use of drugs,[8] which can help or harm, as reflected in the meaning of the term pharmakon, which meant “drug”, “medicine”, and “poison” in ancient Greek.[11] However the word may become less ambiguous when “medicine” is understood as something that heals the one taking it because it poisons that which afflicts it, meaning medicine is designed to kill or drive away something and any healing happens as a result of that thing being gone, not as a direct effect of medicine. Products deriving from the bodies of snakes were known to have medicinal properties in ancient times, and in ancient Greece, at least some were aware that snake venom that might be fatal if it entered the bloodstream could often be imbibed. Snake venom appears to have been prescribed in some cases as a form of therapy.[12]

From wiki

Holly berries can cause vomiting and diarrhea. They are especially dangerous in cases involving accidental consumption by children attracted to the bright red berries.[32] Ingestion of over 20 berries may be fatal to children.[31][32]

Holly leaves, if eaten, might cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach and intestinal problems.[32]

Holly plants might be toxic to pets and livestock.[33]

Holly berries are fermented and distilled to produce an eau de vie.[35][36]

Is this the same way those bladeless Dyson fans work?

That’s not what crowd sourcing is.

There really are some good geoguessers. It’s not a crowd source game.
