Descartes, Hundreds of years later: “Nothing is certain, so I don’t trust my knowledge. I need to start from scratch…”

Pondering ensues

“I think, therefor-”

Everyone: “Shut up, ripoff!”

Your mom likes me anyway

Disclaimer: I’m neither a tigerologist or a wolfonomer, and I’m generally basing this on guesswork.

For starters tigers are huge. But wolves are pretty huge too, larger than most people think. I believe they are only slightly smaller than Tigers (at least the tigers I saw as a kid in a Danish zoo).

And I imagine a tiger would have a hard time defending against multiple simultaneous attackers, something I believe wolves like to do, being pack animals.

So my guess is 2 wolves could take down a tiger. Maybe 3.

Another aspect of this that I’ve found is that engaging in benevolent smalltalk with someone here on Lemmy somehow sometimes results in them treating it as an argument.

No, I will not concede to whatever point you’re trying to make; I was making conversation, you were trying to win an argument. I don’t care if you’re convinced your particular approach to a particular problem is better than mine.

And if they then don’t realize that I’m not interested in engaging, and keep the “debate me bro” attitude, they usually end up on my blocklist, or at the very least they end up with a red tag behind their name.

Thyme. Not that often, but whenever I use it, I use loads.

First Season, to be specific

Season 1

Local: They’re alright, just a bit daft. Due to budget constraints they’re doing the municipality equivalent of spending a fortune over time keeping an old clunkers alive instead of just buying a new car.
Parliament: They’re alright, just a bit boring. And that’s a good thing.

Just to confirm the gist of what the admins have been saying in here, they don’t really care about your address or even the fact that you’re registered with your daily one.

Source: My account has an obviously bogus e-mail address associated with it. (I don’t remember what exactly). By applying what little charm I have, I still have a valid SJW account.

Sure, I won’t be able to do password recovery via email and other QoL stuff, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Script kiddies of the world, unite!

Here’s hoping for Drake and Bieber being among those 20%.

Do you remember a white Canadian reggae artist called Snow, best known for “Informer”, in the early 90s? He pretty much disappeared from the music scene after he stayed in Canada.

That just sounds like a fucked up personality, irrelevant of alignment

Nat: LE or NE.
Cat: TN or CN, probably

Nah, this was ages ago. I don’t remember the exact encryption strength, but it was pretty low, even by yesteryear standards. This was a remnant from when cryptography was ruled by whichever government could find the biggest autistic savant.

Not just PGP, but any encryption strength above a certain level was considered “munitions” from a legal standpoint. Because of this, finding a windows Ssh client was a PITA for quite a while.

Don’t worry, we were all noobs at some point. And factorio has a pretty noob friendly community.

But yes, that’s how it works. Your personal bots and the base bots don’t share the same logistics inventory.

Sticking build items that aren’t available to your base bots into storage or provider chests is basically the hot fix for when you want your base bots to build something. Otherwise you’re gonna have to run down there so your pocket bots can do it instead.

Tips:

• Personal roboports stack. The more you have, the more pockets bots can work at the same time, and the longer reach they will have. (I usually use three roboports if my armor allows it)
• Everything your base builds should have a small portion go into passive provider chests for robots to use.
• In line with the tip above, automate everything, even chemical plants. Your bots will thank you for it. This is extra important if you’re playing with the Space Age DLC as you might find yourself on a distant planet in need of supplies.
• You might want to build a requester chest for every produced item that has priority feeding into the production line BEFORE the provider chest. Otherwise you run the risk of “leftover” items filling up your storage, such as yellow belts after upgrading to red, buildings that your bots have deconstructed, etc. You need logistics bots to ferry these items around, though.
• Bots are slooooow at first. But once you put some research in speed and carrying capacity you’ll notice a huge improvement.

I knew how to operate a hunting rifle by the time I was 12, and I’m not even American.

And if you can operate a hunting rifle, you can operate an assault rifle to a reasonable degree. Not much training needed.

And the principle is easy to figure out. When I was in the army, while I was a recruit, this guy in my platoon had never touched a weapon before, and he was pretty nervous the first day on the shooting range because he was on a different training course the day we got introduced to the basics. But he figured it out by intuition; get the cartridge into the chamber, and get the hammer to hit the firing pin.

There are only so many mechanical things one can do with a rifle, and if you try a few things you’re likely to figure it out.

They have a pretty good analysis engine.

Wo sind deine Papiere?

Due to an old eye injury, I do not have a functional drain tube for my left eye (that channel that drains from the corner of your eye and into your nose).

Normally it’s not something anyone notices, but in cold headwind and anything else that causes my eyes to water, it looks like I’m crying my heart out but only with one eye.
