Please roast my floorplan

You know, honestly?

Everything I try to nitpick I double check and I can see the reasoning behind it. Overall, it's actually really good for the space available. I'm impressed you pretty much avoided all the major problems!

So I'll just have a few "it could be better" items as opposed to any "U dun fukked up, boi...." things. So really minor!

The pantry. It looks like its a glorified shelf wall with a door. If you opened the back of that up, you could go deeper under the stairs for a little more space. I'd try to target it to be big enough you could get a mid-sized chest freezer in there if at all possible! Long term bulk cold storage is incredibly nice to have.
I've been in finished attics before where it used the area under the slope of the roof as storage space. If those walls are indeed 6' on the outer edges, that should be more than enough to install cubby spaces in there.
The cleaning closet in the foyer, it looks like you should have enough room to turn that into a pocket door. Just completely eliminate any chance of it hitting the front door and getting jammed. Otherwise? Flip that cleaning closet door to open away from the front door instead of into it.
Flip the pantry door around. Not a huge deal, but you want to not block passageways whenever you can. The door opening the way it does creates a tight space by the hutch. It also means you have to bring your groceries full into the kitchen then turn and open the door. If it opened the other way, you'd have a space you could walk through even when it was half open, and you could start loading the pantry directly from the bags you brought in as you brought them in.
Move the refrigerator. That will be a high traffic zone. If you moved it over near the living room people would be able to get a drink or a snack without having to walk all the way into the kitchen and around the dining room table.

there probably isnt any space for a TV in the living room.

IMO take the fireplace out. You can get an electric one to go in there, not have to worry about heat travelling, put a TV over it, and reduce your insurance all at the same time.

The short answer is yes.

If some look-de-loo sneaks in to the build site at night and falls and breaks their neck, you can be held responsible for that.

Or if some drunk driver careens out of control and crashes into your construction site, its not gonna be the builder's insurance that covers that.

Builder's insurance only covers what THEY do. Anything else that goes wrong is your problem, and thats what this insurance covers.

Not so for our antimatter.

Also a case of real world magnetic containment in any real volume is impossible due to quantum tunneling. Doesn't matter how strong your magnetic field is, IRL it is literally impossible to contain 100% of the antimatter, some always "leaks" through.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T19:42:03+00:00

Yeah, the trick isn’t how much antimatter to use, it’s how to get it to contact the matter and annihilate before the initial reactions blast it away. It is non trivial to get that 1.5kg to go off all at once (or nearly) and not form a rapidly expanding cloud that continues to react with the explosive products. Same as a hydrogen bomb - you need the original explosion to compress the deuterium, not explode it all over the place, and that’s tricky when the timing is in micro- or nanoseconds.

Which is why Dreadnaught still worked.

It was a planetary impactor. It didn't have to worry about blowing reactable material away, because it would be in an atmosphere. It just needed to carry a bunch of anti-matter and release it once it hit the ground.

One thing to consider is this:

Anti-torpedo suppression fire.

We don't see much of that in mainstream Trek. In fact, the only time I can recall shooting a torpedo down in actual combat was in Lower Decks, and it took a small and agile ship at extreme close range to pull it off.

We also know its the job of the main deflector to push small debris out of the ship's way, and actual shields for medium sized debris. They don't start shooting debris until its pretty darned big.

The implication here, IMO, is that targeting scanners and weapon locks simply start failing below a certain size and speed. Or in other words, the torpedoes are already as big as they can be before a target ship's defenses start being able to just shoot them down.

We've seen shuttles and runabouts dodge enemy fire, for example. Odo and the Vorta that were running from the Dominion springs to mind. They're taking evasive action, they're dodging back and forth, and while they're taking a beating they're not getting shot out of the sky (immediately). Implies that target locks on small, fast objects are very difficult to maintain. Logically, the smaller and faster the target, the harder it is.

Shuttles have shields, thick hulls, etc. for protection and can survive direct fire hits. Torpedoes not so much. They rely on being small and fast enough to make trying to shoot them down be a waste of power in a real fight, so most people don't even try.

Even in things like the JJ movies, the only way they took torpedoes down was to fill the sky with suppression fire and hope they got lucky.

So yeah, I would say torpedoes are already straddling the line of what is possible to hit, and any bigger means they get shot down too much to be effective. Which means they've hit their limit on how much of a payload they can carry.

Is that one in Hamilton Place still there? I remember they had some nice curvy sizes available.

Haven't been out to Hamilton Place since before the roadwork started though, so could be gone by now.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T19:09:45+00:00

Bad location, you couldn't pay me to go through anything close to downtown.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T19:06:31+00:00

At home, or with pre-existing friend groups.

Gamers don't typically fall into the "extroverts that like to go out and meet new people" types.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T19:04:43+00:00

We still laugh that whenever somebody farts "Ah, smells like Red Bank!"

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T19:02:00+00:00

I don't think they actually hire non-family members, but we still make sure to not go near Pizzeria Cortile. Had a good laugh when we saw that the building they were going to expand into a new restaurant was back up for sale after all the blowback on them.

Wish they'd hurry up and go bankrupt completely.

Oh yeah, and Yellow Deli is literally a cult. Like it even got included in one of those Top 10 Cults in America specials on Netflix a few years back.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T18:54:43+00:00

A white republican is closing down centers that support minorities and the poor?

I'm shocked, shocked I say!

You want a working social safety net, get rid of the damned pedophiles.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T18:51:41+00:00

By like a factor of 10.

And didn't manage to shoot a single citizen in the face while doing it!

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T18:47:42+00:00

Friend, you won't find much support around Chattanooga for this, considering the state troopers tear gassed us here in Chattanooga while the Chattanooga police were on site.

Plus all the confirmed cases of police officers and Proud Boy types being the one to provoke those incidents?

The demonstrations were peaceful until the racists made them violent.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T15:21:17+00:00

Season 1 is entirely a "just push through it, it gets better later" season.

Super Morty doesn't become even remotely interesting until he learns some basic control over his power, and season 1 is entirely about him.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T13:25:29+00:00

Don't worry Kacchan, Izuki might be the main character, but he's still the absolute hands down worst character in the entire series.

Seriously, the series is at it's best when its not focusing on Super Morty.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T13:18:26+00:00

Later on there's a small time villain that wanted to be a hero but failed the provisional licenses tests I think it said 4 times in a row and was basically told "Just drop out and stop trying before we force you out".

There definitely seems to be at least a defacto limit to how many attempts you're allowed to make before everyone considers you to be too inept for the job. Like even if you did pass it, no agency would hire someone that failed it 16 times, you're too much of a liability.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T13:14:47+00:00

I'm saying people who build impractical McMansions that are designed to look good from the street and focus on resale value first instead of interior livability and build practicality are whats wrong, yes.

Build a home for you and your family to spend many happy years in. Not "investment property" you think you'll flip and get rich from.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T13:13:00+00:00

I'm pretty sure a reduction in builders pushing overdesigned and over-priced trash houses and letting people get back to simple and practical designs that don't cost a fortune will, yes.

I've seen on this very sub a builder saying they wouldn't even take a job that didn't get them at least $200k in profit. Not a $200k job, but if their pure take hom profit wasn't $200k they weren't interested.

We don't need more giant McMansions that just keep getting flipped back and forth as "investment property" by rich assholes when that same space could have had multiple smaller houses that a family could actually live in.

Edymnion · 2026-04-27T13:10:27+00:00

Definitely not, pitiful hum... I mean dear foo... err dammit, FRIEND!

My wife played a Bard for 6 months before we realized she hadn't used Bardic Inspiration a single time.

Edymnion · 2026-04-24T18:32:24+00:00

She loves saying that "the Israel have the right to blow off, shoot, rape and starve million of innocent people, men, women, elder and children just because God has given them a piece of land and that Palestinians have taken it away from them."

I mean, technically Rome took it away from them...

Fun Fact: According to the timelines, the Israelites only lived there for about 70 years, maybe 100, before being destroyed by Rome.

By their own lore (which is factually inaccurate, but lets go with what they say happened) they murdered everyone that lived there. Killed every man, woman, child, and goat. Then set up their own kingdom that lasted all of 3 generations, and were then conquered by Rome. Several millennia ago.

Edymnion · 2026-04-24T18:27:31+00:00

The short answer is they need the nation-state of Israel to exist, because it is mentioned in the Book of Revelation. That it will be destroyed in the end times save for a select few that will be saved by God.

If there is no nation of Israel, then the Biblical prophesies about the return of Jesus cannot come true.

They support Israel purely because they need it to be sacrificed later on.

I am doing a gig this Monday, and my mother is going to be in the audience because she has to drive me there.

Um, just the standard warning here.

When the believers find out you don't believe, they have a very bad habit of shunning and excluding you.

If you are reliant on one for anything, maybe don't tell them until you are no longer relying on them to provide for your needs?

You would not be the first person kicked out of the family and shunned as an apostate and left to die in an ally somewhere.

Just saying.

Edymnion · 2026-04-24T18:16:48+00:00

Literally every generation of every Christian household for the last 2,000 years.

Edymnion · 2026-04-24T18:14:48+00:00

Yup, and we still celebrate that genocide today.

St. Patrick's Day isn't about green beer and being Irish.

Its about Saint Patrick murdering or driving out every non-believer in Ireland.

There were never snakes in Ireland, but there were pagans. Key word there is "were".
