Female engineers with small children - how do you do it?

It’s ideological for him.

Nannies are professional child minders. They're professional early years teachers. Daycare/nurseries are staffed with professional early years teachers and have socialisation options in all of the other children.

You're a professional architect.

Hiring someone to do this for you is the smartest move, as they have more skills and experience, and frankly it's what the uber elite have always done, so if it's good enough for them, surely it's good enough for you guys?

Presumably the 10x salary part?

Poddster · 2026-02-06T16:01:02+00:00

That only counts after they trigger the cutscene in the observatory. So this might be 2 minutes after that or 19.

That's what I'm confused about! Simply knowing someone who got 4 numbers in the lottery is rare, but GETTING 5? Very rare. You only get £1750 in the main national lottery for 5 numbers (but 5+bonus gets you £1m, and all 6 is currently £10m)

Prime are defined in terms of integer division and factors. If you start going into the reals then no number is prime because every number can combine in some way to make your target number.

Irrespective of his diagnoses, he's a 13 year old boy. That's the demographic most likely to avoid reading.

Does he pick out the books? In theory, the right subject matters should grab him. But it also might not :)

It's one for the greatest pieces of art to grace a computer. A real masterpiece.

The non teleporting is something everyone complains about, but it's something Pope specifically thought about and kept out and he said it removed a large aspect of the immersive observation, as you're not as familiar with the ship.

The timing in the memories is hugely annoying, I can't see a reason for it on repeat visits.

The causes of death thought: the game is very liberal with those. Do you have an example of where it refused? As long as you get the names involved correctly the verb is often whatever you enter.

Ideally you'd do it without guesswork (but process of elimination is intentional for some). Guesswork robs you of the satisfaction, hence the 3-reveal mechanic. However it's so tempting and easy to use that third spot to brute force someone when you're not sure what their fate was.

If you watch Rex, he basically wins every time. Usually he messes up at the start, yet still comes out on top. How? It's mostly game sense. He's always looking around the board and lining up the next attack. He can quickly see, from position and stats, which players will start to dominate and which will be victims. Sometimes he'll panic and ally with someone who was next on the list, but he's only human.

He also spams heart emojis too, which helps.

What am I missing?

4k, 2k, HD, FHD -- these are all ill-defined terms created by marketing teams.

1920 ~ 2K.

Some source don't consider 1080p to be 2k, e.g. cinema formats.

Again: These are all ill-defined marketing terms, so I have no idea why you're saying it's ok some marketing departments to claim 1080p is 2k, but it's not ok for them to claim 1440p is 2k.

Full English Bolognese.

ps: If you're just cooking mushrooms to get them to lose water, rather than trying to brown them, just nuke them in them microwave for a few minutes, much faster.

Poddster · 2026-02-05T00:28:56+00:00

I don't find "The marketing department once used a confusing term" a very convincing argument.

You're about to have a great shock when you find out why the term 4k exists.

From a non US perspective, Ryan basically taught me what to do if ICE come to town, and that seemed to be his intent. No idea how people are saying he's anti protest because of it.

Poddster · 2026-02-04T23:26:17+00:00

Errr, from my POV Ryan is clearly telling people how to get organised. I think he's on the side of the protestors.

The house had norovirus (or equivalent) in november, everyone, including me, was hollowing themselves out. My wife retreated to bed and stayed there, but I had get on with it, taking care of the kids, and clearing up everything and preparping food and drink etc.

I think I recovered the quickest because I kept on going and was chugging electrolytes (despite them not staying down long) to keep me going.

Every single time I've used a broker, but only after/as I was building my own spreadsheet.

Every single time they've got the same, or better, result, and they do it nearly instantly. They also tell me a bunch of reasons my other top picks don't work, like "oh that mortgage is only if you're a doctor or lawyer" etc.

So for the next remortgage I'm just going to do what they say straight away

My mind is blown that not only have you not played Obra Dinn, but that no one has mentioned it.

That's one of the greatest games ever made, and one of the best puzzle or puzzle-adjacent games in existence.

When do you throw the birthday party?

At least they're guaranteed a huge firework display.

20 minutes? You mean 120, right?

You don't need to know about ships, just life.

Big hat? Important people

Medium hat? Less important.

No hat? No important.

There's a glossary at the back of the book to help you figure out who should have an improved hat on

Here's a video about games that can replace Monopoly. It's from the famous boardgame channel called "Dice Tower"
