You sure about that?

Oh, I don’t expect it to happen, I’m just pointing out that it still exists and takes care of some of that functionality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gifs, videos, or screen sharing implemented in IRC.

I have heard they’re still on the old site. I dunno, I avoid the old site as much as possible.

IRC is basically all the chat portions of discord.

Meanwhile I’m sitting here having grown up on among other things (like a TI-99A) with access to a Macintosh 128k, an Apple ]|[, a Commodore 64, and various 286, 386, and Pentium machines, as well as some SGI machines by the time I was 8 years old, so it would seem that I would have embraced Linux. It just never happened because consoles, and later windows dominated gaming so much that despite the fact that I have tried Linux out maybe 20 times at this point, it’s only recently that I can seriously consider switching off of windows and consoles.

I tried out knoppix. I probably used the shell in knoppix more than any other distro than Irix.

We’re all in the development hell pipeline over here…

With the update, even if you don’t have the DLC, fluids have been rebalanced. You just have to place a pump every 200-250 tiles and everything flows.

For oil specifically, you don’t need anything but petroleum until what used to be late game. So just build a few (like a dozen) refineries and make sure that there’s actually oil coming in.

Once you actually need lubricant, and light oil, set up chemical plants to turn heavy oil into lube and light oil, and light oil into petroleum. It won’t be fast, but it won’t clog and it will produce what you need, slowly. You can use storage tanks as a buffer for your lube, light oil, and petroleum. Heavy oil isn’t used as a direct input for any assembler recipe.

I consider myself a Factorio apprentice, as I have yet to actually set up a proper train system. I’m slowly learning circuit logic, but can get to Gelba without getting stuck.

Don’t stress optimization, brute force works as well.

According to my father, who is an absolute Epic Wizard level computer programmer consultant, Factorio teaches you the basics of computer programming.

No, but Redneck Rampage was also a popular game for the Ti-82

TI-82 here. Thank fuck that I got out of HS in '96. The administration hadn’t caught on that we had Drug Wars, and a really shitty MechWarrior game floating around the school.

It was a joke. We have invented fission and fusion, but the reactors are still attached it to a Rankine Cycle.

Also, the radius would be considerably larger than the sun. Perhaps not encapsulating The Earth, but that seems like a potential death sentence, if we built a Dyson Sphere rather than a Dyson Swarm

Not that I’m aware of. All our nuclear commercial power plants are just plain old nuclear energy boiling water. We’re gonna use a damn Dyson Sphere to boil water…

We have bombs that use a similar starting mechanism, but they aren’t exactly useful energy production.

I’m pretty sure they aren’t doing the design part of the research. A lot of the “new” designs that China has been testing recently, have been sitting on US and European shelves for decades, like since the late '60s and early '70s. There’s just not really a way, in the West, to legally set up a test reactor. China can just ignore things like permits and zoning.

The way I understand it, is that Audi, Volvo, and VW have had the hardware in place for a few years. They are collecting real world data about how we drive before they allow the systems to be used at all. There are also legal issues with liability.

The other brands, such as Audi and VW, work much better than Tesla’s system. Their LIDAR systems aren’t blinded by fog, and rain the way the Tesla is. Someone recently tested an Audi with its system against a Tesla with its system. The Tesla failed either 3/5 or 4/5 tests. The Audi passed 3/5 or 4/5. Neither system is perfect, but the one that doesn’t rely on just cameras is clearly superior.

Edit: it was Mark Rober.

Is this the same legal team that sent Pinkertons to some M:TG fan, because WotC sent him the wrong box, two weeks early.

I’m sure Club Penguin players may be interested.

Did socks replace rubber ducks?

I don’t know if it will work outside of Albania, but I found it while I’m in California.

Oh then that would be a few thousand dollars cheaper.
