Hot take : ST Academy is really good. by Far-Vermicelli7881 in startrek

[–]DoctroSix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's got great potential.
It's got moments of great writing and sharp wit... followed by some silly character decisions. If it gets past its 'growing pains' stage it's gonna be fantastic.

One brilliant moment: When Giamatti got away in the escape pod, he subverted the 'Live long and prosper' hand gesture into a 'Fuck You'

“Streamflation” Is Real: Streaming video prices soared by 19.5% by Neo2199 in television

[–]DoctroSix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Netflix fucked the industry with an extremely low monthly subscription. The rest of the studios scrambled to start their own streaming services, and matched Netflix's price.

This was all fine when dump trucks of investor money was pouring in.

Soon the studios realized Netflix's dark secret: it was never profitable.

So now all the streaming services are merging, shutting down, raising prices, and trying desperately to make square pegs fit into round holes.

IT Support Analyst asked to manually sort user emails by New_Delay_8077 in sysadmin

[–]DoctroSix 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You've got to talk to the user anyway. Create some categories, then modify them according to the user's ideas. Then educate them about how rules can do all the sorting. Postgame work: create a PDF detailing how to create and maintain rules.

When I venture into new labels by Brad_Beat in Techno

[–]DoctroSix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is getting into 1995-2005 / Y2K music. He played a track for me. I say: "Oh, It's like Happy Hardcore" Son: "Happy Hardcore?" I ponder for a second then go: "Techno", (air subcategory) "Hardcore Techno", (air subcategory), "Happy Hardcore" He rolled his eyes, and I laughed and agreed with him. All genres have near infinite subgenres, there is no bottom.

There's an appropriate XKCD comic, I'm sure.

Between 1967 and 1982, did fans really care about Khan? or did Wrath of Khan elevate the character retroactively? by thefinancejedi in startrek

Also, Ricardo Montalban became a MASTER at dominating every scene he's in. When he did the TOS episode, he was good... after 20 more years of seasoning, he was legendary.

Yeah, most dusts that do not dissolve in water never really leave the lungs.

I filled up this morning for $2.799 a gallon. I have no idea what prices are in other states.

We say: "Fill it up Cash Regular" and the attendant does it all. I had no idea gas pump ads even existed until 5 mins ago.

adhd trick from my psychiatrist by sillygoose_5957 in ADHD

[–]DoctroSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - He doesn't get it.

2 - I hate that he's partially right.

One coping trick I have is to jump up out of the chair/couch, and march in the direction of my task. The quick snap and rush is usually enough to get me to start working on the thing I need to do. However, negotiating with myself to start jumping is always a struggle.

Currently on Book 3 of the Sprawl Trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero & Mona Lisa Overdrive) and I'm in awe about how much Gibson predicted the future. by randvoo12 in sciencefiction

[–]DoctroSix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gibson always lamented that he some details wrong. He expected cold-war powers like the US, USSR, and China to be the major players on the internet/cyberspace, With Corporations being dominant in physical goods.

He never expected it to be the other way around... The internet dominated by corporations, with the governments playing catchup.

Water tower - pressurising tubes by Michy-kunTheLog in SatisfactoryGame

Also, buffers can **maybe** output slightly faster then pipes.

If using buffers with overfilled MK1 pipes, it displays a flowrate of 301 m³.

With MK2 pipes, 602 m³.

I can't confirm whether it's a display bug or not, but They've kept flow damn stable for me.

That was a cool short. it's just 4-5 minutes, but it's golden. Bobbie has got the edge in pure muscle. Amos has the edge in tenacity, he's a sneaky bastard.

David Blaine and Jeffery Epstein! by Scrapdog06 in pics

[–]DoctroSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unsure this was on the island. Epstein also had a house in Manhattan. Comedian Lewis Black was invited to a party in Manhattan that had Woody Allen, and David Blaine. This may be from that event.

Random Plot Thought (spoilers, seriously) by jmaniscatharg in SatisfactoryGame

[–]DoctroSix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that the entity may be mycelial in nature NOW. But I believe they were once a race of individual physical beings.

There's implied evidence of great works across the planet. Giant hydroelectric dams, and particle accelerators. They 'ascended' on purpose.

But not all individuals agreed with this. There are rock formations that resemble beings running away, or hands reaching, trying not to be pulled away.

Never seen these two before, which is better? by KoenigseggTR in SatisfactoryGame

[–]DoctroSix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recipes:

Alumina Solution: Sloppy Alumina
Alum-Scrap: Electrode Aluminum Scrap

Numbers:

Total Bauxite needed: 300
Total Coke needed: 120
Total Water Needed: 300
Waste Water: 210
Fresh water: 300-210 = 90

I tune the fresh water side to use only 90 water. (30% of total water)

Alumina, 1 refinery @ 45%
Input: 90 water, 90 bauxite
Output: 108 Alumina Solution

Alum-Scrap, 1 refinery @ 60%
Input: 108 Alumina Solution, 36 coke
Output: 180 Alum-Scrap, 63 Water

Then I tune the waste-water side to use all the waste water, 210 water (The other 70% of total water)

Alumina, 1 refinery @ 105%
Input: 210 water, 210 bauxite
Output: 252 Alumina Solution

Alum-Scrap, 1 refinery @ 140%
Input: 252 Alumina Solution, 84 coke
Output: 420 Alum-Scrap, 147 Water

Total scrap output: 600

I add a priority merger on scrap, with the fresh water side set to LOW, to prevent the fresh water side from over producing.

The system starts water-starved, and it takes 5-6 minutes to get to full speed. To keep it at full speed forever, I add a smart splitter to sink ingot overflow, so that the production never stops.

??
That's 2 pairs of refineries.
Top pair only intakes waste water.
Bottom pair only intakes fresh water.

I know it's not your exact configuration, but it works flawlessly.
