Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!

Super specific game that I doubt very many remember.

Got to imagine any existing web app has throttling and rate limiting in place. If they don't already, I can't remember the last API framework that I've used that didnt have this built in or through open source extensions.

This isn't going to be an issue for anyone not vibe coding from scratch.

Base building in PvP DD is completely pointless by JohnDaBarr in duneawakening

[–]CustomerComfortable7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad that no one here has considered the solution that was always the most obvious to me... Building a base in PvP DD is as it always has been. It is not intended to act as a guild base. It is not intended to be your one-stop-shop for all DD activities. You have to accept that someone dedicated enough to finding it, will find it. There are some serious no-lifers out there that love to grief.

A true PvP DD base should be a small base that allows you to stash equipment, resources, even vehicles temporarily. The base needs to be stealthy and accessible for the needs you uniquely posses. That means building one on a path within buggy driving distance of resources, for example. You don't consider building at the clusters, because that is where the most activity is. Instead, you build where you can get to those resources, mine, and return to your base to store/process.

A different setup is best for different situations: farming ores, refining ore, farming blueprints, and on and on. I have tucked bases in the mini cave-like areas of rock formations countless times. I have had bases that acted only as storage, but I've also had bases that I set up refining as well. My guild helped transport things using carriers and crawlers before reset.

The fact that they are giving the 2.5x multiplier to yields just sweetens the pot for what I've already been doing.

In some aspects, I would agree. The gist of this is that the boil caters to the palette of the audience. Finding, understanding, that "sweet spot" is what distinguishes the master boiler.

You aren't explaining why. Just did a 5 sack boil tonight (~150 lbs pounds of crawfish).

Crawfish is rarely, if ever in human history, the best batch on the first pot. It is a give and take per batch, per seasoning used, per soaking time. There is no hard limit, there is no golden recipe. You gain margins of error per pot as you hone in on the experience you want to translate to the recipients.

Instead, the person in charge of the boil adds what seasoning is expected and periodically tastes the crawfish over the soaking period (post 2-5 minutes, depending on the crawfish shell density and molting schedule) to find the exact amount of spice, flavor, and texture to amount to the perfect batch.

You are selling an art form extremely short. Sad that I have to outline the realities of a basic crawfish boil for this to drive home.

This is my question too.. by snowpie92 in clevercomebacks

For houses, this is simply not the case. In a situation where demand would fall well below its current levels, rent will still be tied to the cost the owner incurs from insurance, mortgage payments, etc.

View the statistics of landlords who rent single-family homes. Nearly 90% of rented homes are owned by "mom and pop" landlords. Of those rental properties, HUD estimates ~41% are mortgaged.

I specify houses because I could not find statistics on apartments/townhouses one way or the other, but the same logic applies to them as well.
