Let’s hope so, because if they don’t release HL3 after Alyx’ ending then that is a masterful trolling move.

Just to correct you on something: the plot of dogma is real policy since at least 1300. It is not new.

Still just a marketing tactic though.

Now I need to know which one is cheaper! Please tell us your tricks.

It’s a different isotope, so different number of neutrons. If the proton number would be different, it would be another element altogether, since the proton number defines what element it is.

Could you provide a link to the original artist? I would like to read more from them.

The car bomb is triggered by turning the ignition. The POV is of the unsuspecting victim, so no bomb in view, just the view of turning the ignition.

Thing is: you don’t need to look at it longer than a second to understand what is meant to be conveyed. So no, goal achieved, good use of resources instead of overspending on one useless metric (=making it realistic)

Vinegar is perfectly fine for that. With a bigger amount of minerals you just need more vinegar and time.

You are technically right that the water heater softens the water a bit by precipitating the minerals around the heating element and thereby removing them from the water. But that is energy inefficient and expensive, since you normally don’t use a water heater to soften your water but rather to get warm water. So putting another system in front of the heater that softens it first is better than replacing the heat element every so often.

But to be honest, it was a magical moment to follow the “rubber band” and realize what exactly it is. And by that I mean the eldritch horror summoning ritual kind of magic.

I think a death certificate and your will are enough. Only one of the two is probably not enough.
