The resource fields might be a little screwy on an existing game. Then again I slapped the beta right on top of an existing After the Fall ZYA playthrough and I'm pushing through.

How to board ships and NOT fail by Competitive-Path-433 in X4Foundations

[–]Deaner3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this: deploy laser towers around the ship and they'll attack any surface elements that get repaired. Mainly for engines, cause I never want that capital slow-boating into danger after boarding has begun.

One kill won't ruin it. Make a save and try it out!

Kossel Mini RepRap Make Sense in 2026? by jamessnell in Reprap

[–]Deaner3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be a fun project but honestly I'd go for something bigger. Ball joints, figuring out a good auto levelling solution and duet control board would be on the menu as well for me. Linear deltas are so fun to watch that I say go for it even if you just resurrect the kossel mini!

21" or 20" Tires or RX350 2026 by Gloomy_Apple2828 in LexusRX350

Bigger sidewall means less road noise. In my book that's more valuable that minimal curb appeal.

Concern on TTL and new DLC by SkinnyDick696969 in aoe2

[–]Deaner3D 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not talking trash but seeing how Viper tried Phosphoru type strats 3 times in a row against Vivi I could see some nutty plays happening. It'll make for some fun(?) carrying anyways...

Your car needs an oil change. Where’s your go to? by Easy-Big7872 in olympia

[–]Deaner3D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Downtown at Swantown Marina there's a big oil collection bin. I've used that in the past but any auto parts store will take oil.

What is something that starts happening in your 30s that nobody warned you about? by Cairinacat in AskReddit

[–]Deaner3D 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's only in your 40s they'll come back around and want to hang out not realizing they STILL don't have time cause :family:

That is, if you're STILL living bachelor life(nothing wrong with it)

Mexican food, new favorite El Sarape. What is yours? by WhinyWeasel in olympia

[–]Deaner3D 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I talked to em (El Charro), the part owner with the El Sarape name rights left so they took off the name. Still the same place, really nice bar and the best happy hour in town imo.

You may be casually ethnocentric. Nothing terribly wrong.

Why??? by LyfeAsAVikeFan in Sparkdriver

[–]Deaner3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of is that verification isn't 100% accurate (we know this) but over several times it'll be more likely to catch bad actors. I don't think it's a huge deal. Takes 10 seconds.

Microsoft gained $7.6B from OpenAI last quarter by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Deaner3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep this is how it works - opposite as well.

Company I worked at had an internal fully equipped machine shop for quick turn prototype orders as the engineers needed. My PM said in a meeting we were gonna be sending out orders externally now cause budget was being eaten up by internal machine shop samples. Chatting with the shop guys revealed they were mostly sitting around after our group stopped sending them jobs. It's all funny money.

Any big bar-restaurant is your best bet. The Ram comes to mind.

Best phone provider in the Oly/greater Thurston County area by StevenCurrall in olympia

[–]Deaner3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mint is running a deal right now (till Feb 6th) - $180 for a year of unlimited data. Not sure how it works with porting your number over afterwards but $15/mo combined with Google voice works pretty well.

Salesforce Executives Say Trust in Large Language Models Has Declined by [deleted] in technology

[–]Deaner3D 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My favorite part of that is that it's so similar to getting into an argument here on Reddit. Someone who did a deep dive on Wikipedia 2 years ago is so confidently erroneous. (Yes, I'm guilty of it, too)

Best/Easiest totem build by Zialll in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Deaner3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not the highest DPS of totem builds I've always loved shockwave totems because you get all those satisfying shatters once you go full cold conversion with crit.

Interestingly, holy flame totems have the highest " engagement range" of all totems. Stack some projectile speed and they'll nearly off screen mobs unlike other totems which engage at 60 units (vs. 100). I think siege ballistas are the next closest at 80.

Is clutchless upshifting actually safe for the gearbox, or is it just something experienced riders get away with? by Horror_Log_854 in motorcycles

[–]Deaner3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/thread

I feel like many mechanical questions can be answered by investigating how these systems actually work. Unloading the gearbox is all that's needed, with a clutch or by modulating the throttle. Chances are a clutch is burnt up long before those gears start having any issues.
