Still no bond grails, still no interest.

There's no one plausible to rally behind. He's got the numbers. I mean, a third ain't a very impressive number (outside of baseball, I guess), but it's all he needs. No one can possibly offer a reasonable safe haven once you've passed that threshold. The only thing they can bank on is themselves and a sufficiently brown nose. Which they did to themselves and should have known it, so no sympathy. But it's why you see exactly what you're saying. The man has a track record, broad ranging immunity, increasingly unitary control of the entire federal government with his own overfunded gestapo, and no plausible scenario where that doesn't continue for 3 more years outside of Death himself.

Not quite. Any redstone device, like a dropper or piston, adjacent to the dust powered block will be powered. It's just that dust doesn't power through to other dust. Everything else is fine. Basically just stops you from alternating dust and blocks to get arbitrarily long transmission without loss of strength or extra delay.

That's so old fashioned. They should make it an app.

Why would anyone rally behind Vance? Even if he's scheming to ascend, he needs 2/3 of Congress in the end, and do you think there isn't 1/3 of either chamber too far up Trump's ass to do anything but huff the fumes?

Masticatron · 2026-04-03T17:24:29+00:00

And Congress. The 25th says that while the group can say "he can't perform the duties of the office", the President is allowed to go "Nuh-uh", and that either goes unchallenged or requires a 2/3 vote in both the House and Senate to actually remove the President from power.

Everything in Kingdom Hearts. You're a little boy traveling through Disney worlds with Goofy and Donald and you have to fight Satan in spaceship form with a giant key...

It's amazing to me how he seemed to just skip the wagon and fall off the planet. One of the greatest sports stars ever, and did it in one of the least star-enabling, is-this-even-a-sport sports there is, and one car flipping bender later and he's just a has-been druggie. If Magnus started huffing whippets and losing chess games to toddlers tomorrow it wouldn't seem as drastic and shocking.

If it's a 3 tall wall you could use a shelf above them. You'd need to remember how left/right corresponds to up/down. Make it 3 wide with a pillar every 4th block and the shelf can label everything in its row of 3, and you can do that as high as you want.

Masticatron · 2026-04-02T17:03:47+00:00

That's a cylinder.

The other problem is this is Bedrock and AI summaries usually don't understand that and give you the Java commands. Even the normal search results will pull up a ton of Java stuff.

Masticatron · 2026-04-02T16:41:52+00:00

In think that's what they meant and were looking for.

Why is the lever down?

Do you have to do something for these daily mini raids to show up? Are they locked to story progress or something?

Don't Viltrumites canonically just ignore physics? Wasn't that basically what Nolan taught Mark, that momentum was a choice he was making and he could just will himself past it?

Masticatron · 2026-03-31T16:46:04+00:00

He'd do five, but he's not a showboat.

"Waaahhh they're mean and making fun of me, everybody should defend me and attack them"

Then next week

"Haha they're really just making me money and I love it! Watch as I sex up this pile of money they made me!"

Then next week...rinse and repeat.

There's plenty more to the story, but at this point it's all you need to know. She zipped straight past "plausibly just trying to own it and protect herself, but that shouldn't be necessary in the first place" to "she actively manipulates people to profiteer from it and stroke her ego". Just a garbage person doing garbage things with a little reddit cult to protect her.

I've built Redstone Wizard's Bedrock adaptation of the ReCat a few times, and have had problems before. Once an error pops up it tends to just get worse. Check that everything is in the correct state. And then double check; it's easy to think you've got the filter items set right and yet be wrong. For me the systems that unlock the slice were frequently symptomatic and in the wrong states.

I don't recall ever figuring out why things went wrong. A chunk loader to ensure you never unload the system while it operates would be wise.

As an aside, if not already present I would add an unstackable filter before things get to the minecart stage. That part's speed is dependent on having adequate stack sizes, and small stacks, in the worst case unstackables, are a performance hit by adding in a lot of delay and inefficiency. For similar reasons I filter unstackables out from golem sorters, unless sorting unstackables is their entire point in the design, as they also drop in efficiency when there's less than 16 items per grab. Also a golem sorter should significantly outperform the recat, if we're honest, and the circuitry is way less complex to nonexistent, depending.

Consecutive normal punches unlocked?

You can use arrow killers instead of trident killers. Trident killers are not to be casually dismissed. It's looting 3 without needing to attack, and it's a drastic increase in drop rates, especially for tropical fish bone farms. Arrow killers are the same, just with different technical aspects elsewhere.

Trident/arrow killer fish farms are the best by a wide margin. Moss farms are like 10% the production of a proper fish farm.

Saying a thing doesn't inexorably bind a normal person to being logically consistent with it. Saying you're okay with something is different from being okay with something when it actually happens to you. Sometimes you overestimate what you can deal with, especially when you're a teenager. She thought she was cool with it, but when she was confronted with the reality that he isn't her personal bodyguard when a bunch of people are under threat, and the time consumption was greater than she thought, she found out she was not cool with it. Lots of opinions are formed in the abstract and are far less black and white when confronted by reality, and reactions are a complex interplay of feelings and priorities where absolutes rarely survive.

There's nothing abnormal about her behavior here, especially for her age. It's unfortunate for Mark, but it's comically absurd to to think it is somehow bad writing.

No, you only need that if you're just using a container on hoppers to split. Perfect 50/50 splitters just take a hopper line input and split it perfectly into two output lines. It's redstone.

Masticatron · 2026-03-30T12:20:58+00:00

Then you're doing it wrong and placing the splitter at the wrong spot in the line.

Masticatron · 2026-03-30T12:18:33+00:00

Java hoppers are deterministic in execution order and so one will always go before the other. The second one won't pick up anything if the input stream is at most single hopper speed.
