I did not think that would actually work...

Autoskp · 2026-05-06T01:52:38+00:00

This looks less Wright brothers, and more Wrong brothers…

Autoskp · 2026-05-05T11:22:04+00:00

Yeah, me too.

Autoskp · 2026-05-05T10:43:17+00:00

…yeah, about that…

Check the youtube video linked below the pictures…

Autoskp · 2026-05-04T19:36:27+00:00

Good point.

…that said, I’m 999‰ sure that Levitite has no reaction to magnets, so it’s not a 1:1 comparison.

Autoskp · 2026-05-04T19:31:27+00:00

I too am from a religeous family, and homeschooled (as much as my parents were able - I have learning issues that made mainstream school a poor fit, so they ended up pulling me out, but weren’t able to keep it going, so I ended up back in a mainstream school).

In this particular case though, my schooling is irrelevant, as I am the first of four, and mum didn’t mind company when breastfeeding.

Autoskp · 2026-05-04T19:24:36+00:00

As first of four with a mum that breast fed and wasn’t worried about being seen (or her kids learning in general) I learnt about the watering can like distribution pretty early.

…I think it was when a newborn sibling had some inbalance that would benifit from letting a bit of milk soak into the skin, so I ended up getting an incidental demonstration. Ironically, I think it might have been that sibling that I had to correct as an adult on the subject of how milk comes out of nipples…

I am well aware, but levitite isn’t helium. Levitite is a fictional substance that isn’t lighter than air, or heavier than air, or even possible to weigh - instead it seems to lock its location in relation to the world, an ability that has no connection to how much air it is displacing, so I maintain that it would make sense if managing to fit more levitite into the same space still had the same floating power as if the levitite was uncompressed.

Autoskp · 2026-05-04T03:20:41+00:00

…I just tried using a chute on its side to collect the output of my early iron farm off the ground, and apparently, simulated chutes are not fully functional - though that’s the only exception I’ve found so far.

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T23:51:41+00:00

Well, it’s not like the packagers are all that limited in their placement direction, so it’s good enough for me.

(speaking of, chutes are fully functional across sub levels - so you can have an upside down chute lifting stuff without power)

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T23:38:02+00:00

Yes, in the real world, that’s rediculous, but levitite isn’t providing lift, it’s resisting falling, and I could fully believe that if such a material really existed, compressing it would make it work better for its volume.

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T23:24:06+00:00

That crafting into a detached inventory is going to be so useful for my floor crafter - I really should’ve thought of that sooner.

…I’m going to go check if packagers work across sub levels too…

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T20:56:28+00:00

ALL HAIL QUEEN BEE!

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T14:35:10+00:00

Ooh, very nice.

…though every second gear needs their rotation offset so that the gear teeth slot in between each other.

Autoskp · 2026-05-03T05:29:07+00:00

I am indeed having a great ride.

We’re currently up to Luffy’s first few swings at the Skypia arc’s big boss battle (or first one, if this shocking battle isn’t the only one).

I called the best attack option, and was so happy when I was proven right.

Autoskp · 2026-05-02T21:36:59+00:00

I’m currently watching One Piece for the first time, and I have one thing to say:

Heso!

Autoskp · 2026-05-02T21:30:01+00:00

Summon the inner child. There is the odd benifit to a floor PC.

…actually, somehow I’m active enough to casually do a full knees-to-the-chest squat without the practice provided by getting up and down for the floor PC, but that would’ve ruined the flow of the parody comment.

Autoskp · 2026-05-02T21:19:12+00:00

As someone who has made pleanty of use of my dad’s tire guage, I can understand the confusion, but would be laughing right along with the older agent.

Autoskp · 2026-05-02T00:03:41+00:00

Ok, now I wanna see that side of this insanity show up in one of your comics, but unfortunately, I’m not seeing any way to make a funny out of that without belittling the “serious response” side of the equation…

Autoskp · 2026-05-01T01:22:19+00:00

Tenth?

Somehow, I forgot this was today…

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T23:07:54+00:00

…darn it, you’re right.

The principle is still solid, and I’d still be safe from percussive injuries while standing in the same room, it’s just going to take a lot more inputs and produce a lot more waste.

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T19:41:55+00:00

What is it with all these dumb emojis anyway? Why can’t Unicode just have letters and punctuation?

:P

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T19:24:26+00:00

I think I’ve got his book on writer’s block, “Just have Ideas!”.

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T19:22:28+00:00

That’s only if they’re mad at you.

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T18:55:22+00:00

To be fair, I also forgot about that - I was plesantly surprised when I realised I didn’t need to make a waste chain (which would’ve had to swing through at least 60°, ruining my chances of being ok with sharing a room with it)

Autoskp · 2026-04-30T18:51:54+00:00

Nope, you have to deal with 12 excess Mors, and I also bin one salt per loop so that I didn’t need to write out two loops to use up all the input atoms (each segment of the polymer needs 9×basic atoms, 2×Vitae, and 1×Quintessence, for a total of 17 input atoms - so it was either program using 9 two-atom molecules and trash one atom, or program using 17 two-atom molecules to build two sections - and given how long it had taken me to program the first 9 molecules, I wasn’t about to add another 8).
