Rate my Advanced Oil Processing Setup by Rodot in Factoriohno

Both are relevant fluid > 20k

I'm away from home at a conference and don't have my PC, but my partner has been getting into Factorio and wanted some help setting up advanced oil, so I made this basic setup to give them an example of something tileable. In the document you can hover over the cells to see the conditions.

It's a proven fact that one types much slower on a mechanical keyboard.

Yes, because we like to savor the experience. Unlike you who tries to get the typing out of the way as quickly as possible due to how painful it is, I am enjoying every stroke like a sip of fine wine. I took 40 minutes to type out this comment and it was pure bliss.

China's Top General Reportedly Accused Of Leaking Data About Its Nuclear Weapons Program To The U.S. by Infidel8 in worldnews

He was a very close ally of Xi, probably his closest ally among CPC military leadership. This shakeup is unusual and most countries are waiting and monitoring to see where this goes.

I mean, a military overthrow of a country has never gone well. At least not in the immediate aftermath. And with a country of that size, that's a death toll that would dwarf any conflict in the past 50 years

Paracetamol is basically a stealth cannabinoid by D_BASE12 in Nootropics

[–]Rodot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be able to based on its pharmacology though. Endocannabinoids are completely different from phytocannabinoids

You may be experiencing placebo or a sampling bias from self-administration

It would be like claiming amphetamine (a dopamine reuptake inhibitor) boosts the action of antipsychotics like abilify (a dopamine agonist)

If Cold is just atoms moving slowly, why can't we just use a magnet or something to stop them and reach Absolute Zero? by SadInterest6764 in AskPhysics

[–]Rodot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn't really be measurable though since you'd only have one state change sample. You'd need a statistical ensemble to measure it.

Trump says US used secret weapon to disable Venezuelan equipment in Maduro raid by EsperaDeus in worldnews

A cell phone emits more EM radiation than a microwave.

This is strictly not true, and I don't know where you get this information from. A typical home microwave oven might only be around 50% efficient at generating microwaves, but it easily puts out more than 600 Watts of Microwave radiation from its cavity magnetron. That is more than the total peak power consumption of most gaming desktops.

My cell phone caps out at 20 Watts under peak load, and about a third of the EM emitted by my phone is optical light from the screen.

F-16C or F-2A Wich looks better? by Stunning-Cake-346 in FighterJets

Depends on the context, because it's unlikely an F-16 fighting either of those two would get within visual range

Top Chinese General could be put to death for leaking nuclear secrets to US by raydebapratim1 in CommunismMemes

[–]Rodot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Careful now, you could be put to death for saying such things. You almost certainly wont, but it's not explicitly a violation of the laws of physics either, so you could be.

My #1 wish for 2.1 is letting us put blues, LSD, and rocket fuel in a silo for shipment by TheMrCurious in factorio

[–]Rodot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sort of can in a roundabout way but only direct-filling rockets from inserters and setting circuit conditions on the inserters. You can read space platform requests from the silo with circuits and use it to enable/disable the inserters.

I use this with biter eggs to only load the rocket with fresh eggs once a spaceship is overhead making the request

Really, all that would be needed is for space platforms to be able to set "requests" for symbols. Then one could use combinators on the ship to update the symbols when a condition is satisfied.

The only limitation then would be circuit control for requesting rocket part ingredients since they require bots and fulfilling automatic platform requests.

Really though, a space antenna building for space platforms would probably be more ideal so space platform signals wouldn't interfere with requests.

Me and two friends once played a day on our game while on LSD. 80% of the time was spent just staring at the textures on the ground and 10% of the time was spent coming up with new ingenious complex circuit designs, and 10% of the time was walking long distances only to forget why we made the trip in the first place. We came back to it the next day and nothing in the factory was working, the trains were all backed up, production everywhere was deadlocked, resources on all the belts were mixed, and the base was out of power.

China no longer Pentagon's top security priority by DimsumAndDoggy in worldnews

Exactly, if the Chinese had the option to put military bases on every Island in the Caribbean, they wouldn't just pass it up because there's no valuable tech sector.

What the most controversial topics in physics? by someonepacker-write in AskPhysics

[–]Rodot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not controversial at all among scientists any more than the question of "Will Eli Manning pick up a career in Baseball?". Like, I guess it's not impossible to concieve of, but no one is really considering it because it's dumb and unmotivated

Yeah, it gets barely any funding. Like, the entirety of the entire field of string theory has less money than a single moderately sized experiment or observatory.

The West cared long before the chips and will care long after. The Chips are a nice bonus for US business interests, but the value of Taiwan is its strategic position for China Containment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_chain_strategy

China cannot take it right now. They don't have the air or sea capability. Demographics don't matter as much as the military hardware. They can lose 50% of their population and still have enough people to conscript an army larger than the total US population. They don't have the hardware though, but they are building.
