Cake day: July 4th, 2023

  • So when my old job had it, about 5 (out of 30) people in my area just couldn’t open it.

    Not the same five, IT would frequently reinstall it to fix it, but it would just break constantly.

    Work computers, very locked down, couldn’t do any alternative to it at the time, and we worked remote, so while everyone else had chat, some unfortunate people needed constant updates via email.

    The question was who would be SOL, not if someone would be, that day.

    You do need to forward the port in some routers.

    Or connect via Ethernet cable and avoid the router, if possible.

    But yeah, once any initial little hiccups are done, its actually very smooth, opening Minecraft takes longer.

    Also that can turn on cheats in a world where cheats are disabled.

    Yeah you play single player, pause, and hit “open to lan”

    Then someone else can connect to lan by typing in the IP. I think it autodetects a lan connection that’s already open, too, but it’s been a bit since I’ve used it.

    Nah its cool factorio guy doesn’t HAVE to leave.

    No pollution, no biters.

    Very doable.

    Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

    You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

    Eternity awaits.



  • You can but only if you set it up so that it uses all the liquid, or accept waste.

    For instance, processing units require 5 sulfuric acid. In an automated setup, you could set up your logic to only craft processing units in batches of 10, so that you use up the whole 50 units of sulfuric acid you’ll get from 1 barrel.

    You could also accept the loss of up to 45 sulfuric acid per craft, if the automated system only needs the 1 processing unit, but that isn’t complication-free. When an assembler changes its recipe, if a connected pipe can take the fluid, it will. So crafting 1 of these blue circuits can get 45 sulfuric acid pushed into a pipe that should’ve been empty.

    I’m not actually sure if it gets pushed back like that if you connect a barrel-emptying assembler directly to another assembler. The emptying assembler might also take that fluid back if it’s compatible, or might not, and void it. If its voided, then you could accept the waste of fluids by sacrificing a whole side of your crafter to a fluid unloader, and then also configure that fluid assembler to unload only exactly the fluid needed, and change that recipe via circuit as well, destroying the unwanted fluid.

    Worth testing, although I hate the thought of deleting that fluid. As soon as you save fluid for later though, you have nearly all the same issues as having all the fluids piped in though.




  • Nah its actually what granted citizenship.

    Property isn’t a citizen, and freeing the slaves didn’t make them citizens.

    Before this amendment, the supreme court had ruled that black people “were never intended” to be citizens under the constitution.

    During the rebuilding of the US after the civil war, this got added, so that that nonsense ruling (which was argued against, even then, since there was no such phrasing in the constitution) had no power. Instead, being born in the US was enough, which was true for basically every freed slave at that point in history.

    So they were officially not citizens, in the whole nation, just before the civil war. Then they were freed by the 13th amendment, and made citizens in this one, and then the 15th protected the right to vote regardless of race or other things.





  • Well at one point to be a computer gamer you basically needed to put together your own desktop PC.

    Integrated GPUs basically were only capable of displaying a desktop, not doing anything a game would need, and desktop CPUs didn’t integrate graphics at all, generally.

    So computer-building knowledge was a given. If you were a PC gamer, you had a custom computer for the purpose.

    As a result, even as integrated GPUs became better and more capable, the general crowd of gamers didn’t trust them, because it was common knowledge they sucked.

    It’s a lot like how older people go “They didn’t teach you CURSIVE?” in schools nowadays. Being a gamer and being a PC builder are fully seperatable, now, but they learned PC building when they weren’t and therefore think you should have that, too.

    It’s fine, don’t sweat it. You’re not missing out on anything, really, anyway. Especially given the current GPU situation, it’s never been a worse time to be a PC builder or enthusiast.




  • Talos principle, gold edition.

    When I was about 12, I found a shiny trapinch I’m the desert in Emerald. I weakened it as I didn’t have enough pokeballs to keep trying at it if it broke out, and I got a crit and killed it. Spent 4 hours in that desert trying to find a replacement, and I DID. Still have that second trapinch.


  • The best incremental games I’ve played have some vaguely fun minigames that add progression, but aren’t broken.

    Like, in cookie clicker, there’s a golden cookie to find occasionally, and it (I think, been a while) doubled your multiplier for about a minute if you found it. If you stayed vigilant, you could keep that bonus going most of the time.

    Other incremental games, I spent the currency, upgraded things, left. That can only work for so long.

    Hope this helps, dunno if it will.
