The important thing is that the high albedo material has to convert incoming light into a particular wavelength of infrared light that is not absorbed by the atmosphere and so it flies straight out into space. If it's just white (high albedo) but doesn't convert light into the right wavelengths of infrared light, then yes, it will warm the surrounding areas because a lot of the light it's reflecting will get reflected off the atmosphere back down somewhere else.

Wikipedia has a thorough article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

Here's a video by a channel called NighthawkInLight: https://youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI?t=78

You can download specific DLCs but I'm not entirely sure they'll be useable. It's worth a try. Here's how you do it:

Open a web browser and type in steam://open/console and it should open the Steam console inside of Steam itself. Type download_depot <game_id> <depot number> for Rocksmith the game id is 205190 and you can look up the specific DLC you want on steamdb

So for example, the Pearl Jam Song Pack could be downloaded using download_depot 205190 222139

Rocksmith's DLC SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/205190/dlc/

If this DLC has been disabled as you said, this might not work, or you might need to make sure that Steam doesn't try to update the game (which would disable the DLC again). You can do that by browsing to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ (assuming you're on Linux, or just wherever your "steamapps" folder is on your PC) and find the file called appmanifest_205190.acf and set it to read only. That should prevent Steam from modifying any changes you've made to the game. Just remember to set it back to writable if you want to update the game again.

The game might not recognize the DLC as I said, but you should be able to access the files anyway if that's all you wanted. They'll be in ../steamapps/downloading at least until the download is complete, then it should try to apply the DLC to the game, which might cause the files to get deleted. I'm not entirely sure about that.

It's not exactly "unrecognized" because it's fairly popular, but From -- yes, that's the name, and yes, it makes it very difficult to search for.

It's pretty highly rated, horror/mystery show. It's a lot like Lost except more horror less mystery. It even stars Harold Perrineau who played Michael in Lost.

The concepts and monsters are very scary and/or creepy. It gives me a Dead by Daylight "The Entity" and "The Entity's Realm" vibe if you're familiar with the game.

I'm assuming you're a man, and that's great! I'm also taking my wife's name but I'm a gay woman so it's not as awesome lol

I've already found my Shaun of the Dead, it's Simon Pegg; unfortunately though, he's taken... and I'm a gay woman. In another lifetime perhaps, Simon!

Women, don't marry men who won't take your name. That's a wall of separation he wants to keep between you. It won't be the only one.

That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I've heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it's supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.

It seems that what this person's friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!

It actually kinda makes sense. Two sounds that a U commonly makes are "OO" like in "yule" and "UH" like in "just". If you say "OO-UH" close enough together it makes the sound of a W.

Another thing that wasn't mentioned in the video that Proton does is it also -- sometimes, depending on the game -- checks a list of known requirements for a game and installs them through winetricks, or makes other recommended changes to game files that are known to make the game work.

When Proton is updated and the patch notes mention that a game was fixed, it's something to do with this part of the process. A certain library, or whatever was missing and Proton installs it for you behind the scenes.

It also runs WINE through Steam's launcher (aka Steam Linux Runtime) which has some common redistributables (aka Steamworks SDK Redist) built right into it, and it also runs appropriate anti-cheat solutions (aka Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime or Proton BattlEye Runtime).

If you're in Canada, there's an online service called Frida https://www.talkwithfrida.com/

I was personally diagnosed by a psychiatrist who I was referred to by my family doctor. I think you have to go through a psychiatrist at least while you're titrating your dose but then your family doctor may be able to take over once you're about where you need to be.

Good luck getting open source maintainers that aren't woke. We're all queer down here!
