am I the only dummy missing an instruction? the game takes off w/o my input, moving and blasting away. surely I'm just OOTL w/ PDF gameplay, which I blame myself for

Klick into that textbox at the right in the lower part of the page. Then type (WSAD, Z for enter, just as written there)

Doom does that by default. The background of the main menu features actual gameplay from a bundled demo file.

You are using higher-dpi laptop, probably. Unless you zoom out, the page only fits on generic full displays.

I cannot pretend to have an adequate breadth of geopolitical knowledge on this topic nor an understanding of the underlying reasons behind the various governments and the advent more recent "nomad visas".

However my knee-jerk reaction is that, the various programs governments will incentivize regarding foreign investment and relocation are not necessarily in the best economic or social interests of the locals for a given area, despite that governments intent.

One story I recall from earlier this year was regarding Lisbon and the backlash against their visa [1]. From the article it's obvious there were other (tax) incentives that existed prior to the nomad visa, however it appears to me that the visa was a turning point in public discourse on the topic, as it incentivized highly paid individuals to relocate to Lisbon (4x the average Portuguese salary).

Though I don't disagree that it could still have been weighed by the government and determined it to be a net-positive still.

Portugal has been handing out extremely desirable EU residency to very wealthy people for more than 10 years, in exchange of real estate investment. I don't blame them, together with Greece they were the hardest hit by the last global crisis. But of course that was going to noticeably drive prices up. A lot (most?) of those investments are now airbnbs which is the real problem they have. I don't think this can be compared with the recent wave of nomad visas that are little more than extended tourist permits.

I too was intrigued by this and did a quick google search.

I came upon this which I think is a similar (if not the same) reaction as is occurring in OP.

And in the final paragraph states that, and I'm loosely plagiarizing here, the negative ions created in an electrolysis reaction are attracted to the positive/live terminal*, and in the presence of chlorine (as in salts found in the potato) the copper (wiring) react to form green copper chloride.

Edit: not battery, but positive/live terminal

The way to remember it is that the negative ions of Chlorine Cl- move towards the positive wire electrode.

At the copper wire of the positive electrode the chlorine reacts with the copper to make green hydrated copper(II) chloride - CuCl2·2H2O - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_chloride

this is how i learned it as well, and still use it to this day

i find the knuckle mnemonic interesting but very difficult to use but i've only been trying it for the last 5 minutes

maybe its a visual issue and the same reason the poem has served me better

To add to this, on iOS I couldn’t get the cookie pop up to clear so after the first 3 sections I had to move on. The writing was indeed great but navigation and screen real estate for mobile made this a bit tough.

Yes, there are small usability quibbles. The fully-justified text on narrow phone screens often produces ridiculously spaced-out words.

second this, I managed a brief conversation with someone when trying this out and it was great, a few other messages seemed to chime in as well. perf/eff can be improved as mentioned above but would lose the fun, imo

i see pure, deep inspiration. nothing to be ashamed of at all!
