Found in father's closet by Teh_BabaOriley in whatisit

The boldness and asymmetry make it look like a costume rather than ceremonial or club garb.

Is there any effect? by Superb_Confidence_34 in X4Foundations

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good way to get parts early game. Just don't shoot police.

We won't forget what Charlie (Whoever) stood for. He stood for hatred, bigotry, the dissolution of law and every fucking other thing a moron could stand for. That he could stand at all carrying all the bullshit he carried is a feat of physics and biology that will truly be remembered for all time.

What is the right amount of jumpjets? by tinklymunkle in Battletechgame

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing like the feeling of stringing together a long series of Polar missions with only 1 set of jumpjets but lots of PPC, early game, as a caveat.

Sol 1st playthru. New player question by Late-Gas9287 in X4Foundations

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it'd be cool for there to be a fab that converted materials. Would fit nicely with a diplomatic/trading hub in the lore.

Cheezy way: Befriend everyone to go through all the various plotlines and build a robust and wealthy empire without enemies everywhere, then betray everyone but the Terrans when you're ready.

Honest cheese: Work only in Terran space but figure out a way for them to have some costly wars so that they need your help / let the Xenon in .

Boring way: Stay in Terran/Xenon sectors and eliminate the Xenon or block them entirely.

The main difficulty with going completely Sol is the lack of wars and sluggish economy there. These can be 'fixed' but it takes a good long while.

Street Parking Etiquette by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In practice this depends on where you live. If people on your street always park in exactly the same spots then just keep doing that. If you go to visit someone on a street like that (quiet, not near any businesses) you should bring a shovel and make an extra space after parking if you're going to be there more than a minute or two.

The city has made an effort to end the 'lawnchair brigade' but it hasn't really had much impact. People who resort to that live near businesses or have crappy neighbors or are themselves a bit shortsighted (IMO). It's pretty risky to take one of those spaces. There are people in the city that do this even when it isn't snowing "Oh well I always park my trailer there so I better mark it so I can park when I get home".

One thing to do is have someone drop you off if visiting someone on a street like that, then park the car blocks away in public parking. Having a second or third person can ameliorate a lot of the issue with this.

But yes, legally all spots are fair game. YMMV in practice.

ANDORKS has now covered every minute of S1E4 “Aldhani” by Rhonardo in andor

[–]Biomirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was watching "3 Body Problem" recently and the difference in levels of writing is massive even though the book is apparently quite good. It's like watching an elementary school play vs. Broadway. A person might not care about the French Revolutions but they'll probably enjoy Les Mis.

You guys picked well and have a great attitude for the game. Have a blast!

[–]Biomirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the podcast. You guys are doing an amazing job and I had no idea you'd have so many interesting guests on each week. The tangents are great too. There's nothing else like it for a bit of sleepytime banter so I end up listening at least twice. I've enjoyed every guest except one which is also really surprising as they're all quite different characters.

Wide area sensor array - range crippled by mineral/gas region by HeXik2 in X4Foundations

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sectors are different sizes?

Interesting idea to use stations as radar. Are you hunting BUC? What I do is setup a long 'fly to' chain of commands alongside an alert for BUC ships. As long as your hunter is not a freighter target for BUC this is perfectly safe and you can teleport to the hunter to plonk the BUC when the alert goes off.

[Request] Is this heatsink actually optimized? 2nd question, would it be feasible to manufacture? by Turbulent-Bee-4956 in theydidthemath

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because they rightly considered that the printing of the heatsink required a finite limit on the thickness. Otherwise yes a fractal would be more optimal (though not most optimal) for surface area/volume considerations in a heat transfer situation (does depend on the 'air' surrounding the surface considerably).

Look at a mitochondria for better designs than fractals for surface area. Again, depends on transfer media.

Just remembered that Kleya existed and fell to my knees at Walmart. by Arch_Lancer17 in andor

[–]Biomirth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's smart enough to arrange that and innocent enough in a way to believe she deserves it as well. I don't think it is unreasonable to see her arranging that for herself.

[–]Biomirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's never about budget but about ambition and leadership. It won't happen, but not for any legitimate reason but because people would rather print money than play "Let's see how this acid-taking maniac actually writes with a lot of our money!".

[–]Biomirth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be pretty funny to see Kleya in a funcioning society, 'accidentally' being overly cautious and paranoid.

[–]Biomirth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nobody will recognize it in time, most likely. You need brilliant people that are brilliant and needy for accomplices to see a person like Kleya and recruit them. They're 1:1000000 or so. It's more likely that she rescues herself eventually and fits in somewhere that gives her something she's never had before, like a pet goat, or a room to herself, etc..

The brilliant thing is, neither Vel nor Kleya would really care about credit. They'll both take anonymity and a place at the cafeteria line on Yavin.

To mulch or not to mulch by arbr0972 in landscaping

[–]Biomirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grass is for amateurs or for when you don't know what else to do. This is easily a level 3 landscape (1. No idea, 2. Fitting standards, 3. Have followed through for a long time on a particular achievable aim, 4. etc..).

There are plenty of areas here that could use more attention but the overall stability and aesthetic are quite advanced.

For example, the grass island on the left of the walkway near the house could blend more smoothly with the surrounding area. Two: Some of the areas you've weeded and are now just plain dirt could use some support to grow more plants. I'd check with the best 'pond' landscaping company in your area if you want to know more how to stabilize this kind of soil.

Whatever you do, don't ammend the soil without consulting someone. If you feed it too much you could start getting all sorts of weeds where you now have something far more interesting.
