So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.

I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I’ve basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.

The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.

First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.

Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems… very tedious.

I’m guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?

I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.

One thing that is often over looked is proper monitor height. You can’t have good posture if your monitor is too low.

The amount of time and money spent doing all the starting and running a buisness crap that has nothing to do with the actual work is staggering. I started my own LLC in an industry where I am considered an expert, and it was a complete failure in less then three years.

I had clients, I had projects, but was so overwhelmed with all the buisness elements I just couldn’t spend the time required to get the work done properly. On top of that, while the money was good, the clients were often late paying, so all sorts of fees piled up and quickly ate into the profit. In the end I realized to do it right would have required at minimum four full time people.

Ended up taking a job with a large company as their in house specialist and I’m so much happier. I work shorter hours, get a regular salary with benifits, and spend my time doing the technical stuff I like.

Not saying don’t do it, just be aware of everything that goes into it beyond the core elements of the work / product.

Mount and Blade, both titles Kingdom Come Deliverance Elden Ring Ghost Recon Wildlands

I’ve got untold hours into Ghost Recon, but once they released the permadeath ghost mode, it’s the only way I play. I even made a youtube guide on how to speed run the first hour for various perks. Sure I could beat the game in normal mode, but it just seems too easy.

The office is 3 day a week onsite, w Mon and Fri remote.

I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.

I go in most Mon and Fri because it’s the only time I know I have physical access to the systems.

My support work is largely “remote”, in that I can manage my systems 99% of the time better from my office than in the room, and I really like my setup.

Aside from physically rebooting hardware that’s too frozen to reboot remotely, or replacing defective hardware, I can work 100% from anywhere I have internet.

Thing is, I love the company I work for, the end users and various IT and facilities staff that support my work are all great people.

The only close friends I have all moved far away decades ago, so the “water cooler” is the only real social interaction I get.

I do spend a ridiculous amount to live 15 minutes from the office so the commute isn’t a concern.

Thing is, I know she knows exactly what she is saying. The context is correct, she knows what the words mean, she just didn’t grow up around people who spoke that wide a vocabulary, and while working in blue collar trades, she was looked down on for all them fancy college words.

She can swear with the best pipe fitters, well, because she was a union pipe fitter.

Language is so fluid, people who get too hung up on syntax and not the substance really annoy me.

When I was in the military, one of the smartest people I knew was from the bayou of Louisiana. To me, a yank, he sounded like a complete idiot, and in fact I often couldn’t understand him when we first met. Once I was able to look past his mode of speech, and actually listen to him, I realised what an ignorant fuck I was being.

This is 100% my girlfriend, and I take great pleasure in never correcting her, I find it charming.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.

Who would want to have to shave their forehead?

Not on reddit or facebook anymore, kinda miss the Over 40 Skateboard and Snowboard communities.

Best known for his work as the poet in episode 2 of Lexx.

I caught it very early, before the vaccine, and the only symptom I didn’t get was having such a hard time breathing as to require a hospital.

I sat alone, at home, in my lazy boy, and suffered. Like others have said, lots of fluid and lots of sleep were the only things that helped. I can’t think of another time in my life I slept that much.

Two of my brothers who had it both failed to recognize or acknowledge they had it, and both had bad falls, one breaking his arm, and the other requiring stitches in his scalp. Be very aware when walking around for signs of fatigue or light headedness.

That is still one of the most surreal moments to come out of that whole mess.

I just don’t understand how it was allowed to play out. At some point, someone had to decide that going ahead with it was more important than waiting a day and finding a suitable location.

For the life of me I can’t remember what the press conference was about, only the screw up.

I love my job, I really do, but I wouldn’t do it as a hobby. I don’t think it’s so much advice about making your hobbies a career, as it is about finding work you enjoy.

Video games, skateboarding, riding a motorcycle, all things I love, but no way I’d try to make a living at any of them.

They are looking for a reaction, and if they get one from me, I give them a mental thumbs up.

If it’s just being a dick to be a dick, I ignore it and go on with my day.

What I absolutely never do is engage.

We have a lot of great skateparks, but I’ve always wanted to try a pump track.

Only ones I can find in the midwest are dirt for BMX.

They used to do it at Warren Dunes in south west Michigan right on the lake.

This wizard wins the cookie

Nope, but its true, Vegas does seem to have every monument you can think of.
