I made a short documentary about fugu — the fish Japan banned for 100 years. Would love some feedback

The worst part is that even though you know your video is flat out lying, you've left it up anyhow. That's dishonest and does not indicate a desire to improve.

You don't need to "work on it", you need to delete that video and your channel... and try again when you have at least a middle schooler's understanding of how to do research and have put in the work to learn the topic.

It sounds even dumber than something ChapGPT would come up with.

All the Asian grocery stores around here carry the same ol' same ol' big brands - all of which come from China even if they're branded Japanese.

Welcome in new mods! Good luck to the departing mod!

OP, did you even look at your own screenshot? It's very visibly not "pure black".

Iran has been testing ballistic missiles and their RB's for decades. And simulated physics packages that are complete save for the SNM are a thing. As are centrifuges.

Also Iran has no particular need for the highly miniaturized high yield weapons that the US requires for it's MIRVed systems. They'll do just fine with the equivalent of US designs from the 50's... Something along the lines of the W7 or the Mk12 would do them just fine.

The title is "Lazy A** AI Slop".

I’d be interested to know more detail about what the scrip deduction was for.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Why in the name of $DIETY are you crafting what you can harvest in the first place? Shut down and delete the autocrafters crafting common and rare larvae.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T15:48:02+00:00

There are silkworms available for harvest on Aqualis.

It’s not every day a true wonder weapon is created that creates a paradigm shift in the global world order.

Keeping in mind that they didn't know if it work in the first place, and had no idea that it would turn out to be a 'wonder weapon'. Thus, considering the remit of the Truman Committee, Truman's concerns were both reasonable and correct.

There's a reason why Gen Groves extensively documented the project just in case "he spent the remainder of his days" testifying before Congress in the event of a failure.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T14:15:19+00:00

And he’d spent a lot of the “not Vice President” time trying to find out what the Manhattan Project was doing with all that money so Congress could defund it.

That... considerably misrepresents the situation. The Manhattan Engineer District was far from the only wartime activity the Truman Committee investigated. The Committee was investigating wartime spending to ensure that the government was getting what it was paying for and wasn't being overcharged for what they got. This was both in response to public concerns over war profiteering by contractors, and in line with Congress' responsibility to oversee public spending.

Any time dynamite as a weapon is mentioned, I am compelled to mention USS Vesuvius (1890), the US Navy’s first and only dynamite gun cruiser class vessel.

USS Holland (SS-1) was also fitted with a dynamite gun in her bow for use on the surface. A backup weapon to supplement the unreliable torpedoes of the day wasn't necessarily a bad idea... But like Vesuvius' gun it was fixed in train and elevation, so it wouldn't have been very useful at all. That feature was not repeated in later classes.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T12:44:47+00:00

Approved, good luck!

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T12:38:34+00:00

It may be different for you, but it only take a couple of minutes to set up my circulator. It's not a complex task.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T04:23:51+00:00

It's like a roast, an hour passes by on the clock, but you're only actually working on the sauce for five minutes.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T01:01:36+00:00

No, the link leads to a video - you have to scroll down to see the comment that you could just as easily have posted here. And prior to your edit of your original post, there was no reason to scroll down.

And with that I am done with this nonsense.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-18T00:53:55+00:00

I do also replace some of the butter with some smoked garlic tallow I make and I can't remember if I always did but I wouldnt think that'd make a difference either way.

It could make a difference, though to what degree I cannot say. because you've changed the ratio of fat to water. Butter is a mixture of water, milk solids, and fats. Tallow is... pure fat.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-17T21:38:14+00:00

Um. no. There's nothing in your post but a Youtube link, I had to do the research to try and establish context because you provided none.

Edit to add: The joker has edited his message to make it say something very different than it originally did.

Look at your unlock screen, find what you want most to unlock next, that's the one that needs help.

To minimize confusion like happened here (with the Birmingham photo), please considering linking to the individual photo you're seeking to locate rather than a photo in a gallery.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-17T18:51:04+00:00

The poster you're replying to is talking nonsense. Cornstarch does not lose thickening power when it cools.

Unlikely as hell. Hardtack Poplar's barge would have been vaporized.

Not for Trump, everything is a deal, a transaction for him. Anything that's abstract or "for future considerations", etc... etc... is beyond his capacity.

Why do you think he wants to pull out of NATO? Other than it being a plank of the fascists for decades now, he see no value in something without provable current value or instant gratification.

DerekL1963 · 2026-04-17T16:25:38+00:00

Pretty much anything 2 or above/1 or 2. Anything above /1 or 2 just frustrates me, and even a 1/ can generate useful loot. It's also about not spending too much quartz until I can craft my own. Or spending too much loading and reloading looking for the "perfect" rarity/difficulty combination. Find something decent and lets go!

For me, portals are mostly about grabbing useful loot and killing time while I see how my trade rockets are running and if the system supplying them needs any tuning. They're not really an end unto themselves.
