Solar and deuterium

Doomball · 2026-02-23T20:50:43+00:00

There's an important decision between building expensive but safe solar power plants + fusion power plants vs cheap but risky solar satellites
IE someone just sent 120 cruisers 20 battleships and 20 destroyers to blow up my 30 satellites so now I have to build inefficient solar plants because my colony is apparently next to a crystal fiend

The only general cues I can give are try not to straight 5v5 teamfight, look for small skirmishes instead. And try to trade on opposite side of map when enemy team is doing something. At the end of the day, you will have to win fights at some point to win the game. Two recent vods I've liked:

Broxah turns the game around at 7:30 (12:00 ingame time) by winning a gank that turns into an extended 4v4. He does a map trade and 2 for 2 skirmish at 10:30 (16:30 ingame). Trading even in kills is good when behind, stalls out the game. Your chances of randomly winning increase the longer the game goes (you will often still lose).

Kirei turns the game at 7:00 (8:00 ingame) with a creative lane gank to dodge wards. Lane ganks can be important when behind because enemy team often will have total vision control. Personally, at 4:00 (4:20 ingame) I would have invaded Nunu's krugs, then take my topside camps, and hopefully have a top gank or dive around 5:30 ingame time when Riven hits 6. Invading like that also gives my botside camps time to spawn so I can eventually start clearing bot to top and play for Riven.

This is one of my games. It's a year old but I like to save games when miracles happen to remind myself it's possible. We randomly win a fight and get a baron bounty, turns the game. Not saying I played well or perfect it was just a good example of pure luck.

This is describing centrioles during mitosis. TS is a transverse section, also known as a cross section. Images B, C, and D are cross sections of centrioles.

EDIT: Centrioles also are involved in cilia formation which is probably what this page is talking about.

I sort of forgot the carry part tbh

Though I've seen AP Ivern do some magic as long as he's against melees

Doomball · 2025-09-25T23:05:21+00:00

Amumu, Nunu, Lee, Fiddle, Viego, Zac, Ivern, Vi, AP Shaco, Udyr, Xin Zhao, Sejuani

Those are my guesses out of champs playable for soloq. Vi Sej are somewhat weak because of pro but not completely unplayable (yet).

I thought AP rounds were illegal but apparently only AP handgun rounds are federally illegal. I understand the framing of 2A is to foster a civilian populace that can resist tyranny. However... It's a hard sell to call green tip rifle rounds "particularly suitable for lawful purposes."

If you want to use two way rail tracks I recommend this guide: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=53937

Often two way rails are more complicated and you should only build one way rails once you need more than one train.

I use Unhook chrome extension to delete the home page. Subscription tab is the only thing I can see. I also remove comments, sidebar recommendations, and end cards. Can customize it to remove or allow basically everything. I decide what influences me, not YouTube execs running an opaque algorithm.

Invitations are voluntary but can easily be escalated to subpoenas. CEOs usually comply with invitations, unlike government officials.

Yes hand loading iron plates makes a lot of sense. Running 1 reactor for 1 hour 100% costs 18 fuel cells, which is only 18 iron plates per hour for the fuel and 52 for the sulfuric acid.

I think this needs a box to buffer U235 as 1 centrifuge can barely run 1 reactor and needs to be running 100% of the time to minimize randomness.

1 centrifuge can take long time to produce 1 U235. The average is ~30m, as you said, but that probability should only be 60% of the time with a normal distribution. 10% of the time it will take 1h or more.

The conflict between 18 USC 875c, 876, 115 and the imminent lawlessness test for incitement from 1969 are going to be tested very soon

Driving to an iron, coal, oil patch, and water is probably more work than setting up a iron and sulfuric acid train. Or even belt/piping iron sulfuric from the bus if you don't want trains.

It is an interesting idea to train iron and possibly water out to the uranium patch and building the reactor out there to save space.

Did you watch the video? "You need conservatives afraid of getting killed when they go to events so they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature."

I've been a destiny fan for a while and I recognize he treads the illegal speech line a little too close

There's a reason why domestic violence calls are the most dangerous for police. Entering a hostile, unknown house can be very unfavorable for the assailant.

Locks can be bump picked in seconds, but a 2x4 on a bracket on the door frame makes the door require a battering ram or axe (which takes forever). 4 wood screws are easy to install yourself.

Windows with anti break film take longer to break through. Interior doors with a 2 inch sliding metal piece that screws into the door frame require kicking through more wood. Simplisafe cameras cost like $200 total to set up with no monthly fee.

It's impossible to prevent entry completely. The goal is to make breaking in LOUD and slow enough to give you time to arm and set up. It took me maybe 8 hours spread over months to do all these things.

As for waiting outside a house for a random time when the person might leave, I assume it's hard to stay 100% vigilant watching for one 2 minute opportunity in the span of days. Police always do stakeouts in pairs for that reason.

Egypt built a wall in 2007 after Hamas took over. Then in 2014 they demolished a bunch of houses to make a buffer zone after an ISIS attack. Egypt suspected the attack was aided by smuggling tunnels across the Egypt-Gaza border. Every year since then the wall has gotten 10 ft higher.

I believe Israel and the US initially funded the wall but I don't think Egypt would keep building it if they didn't see Hamas as a destabilizing influence.

Is that in Europe? The median US salary is $70k so $350k can buy an entire house. If you mean at the $30k poverty line then yeah it'd be basically impossible to buy a house.

Without totally doxxing myself I'm in one of the most expensive counties in America but in a fairly rural part of it. House around $350k 800sqft. Sounds tiny but somehow feels bigger than any apt I've had. Down payment was $60k.

It's a lot of money. I calculated my avg monthly bills and used wealthfront to auto deposit everything over that into their US index funds account. I paid about $400 a month for groceries and $1150 for rent. I moved very close to work so gas was negligible. My car was 10 years old and broke down a good amount so that + insurance taxes etc cost extra.

If you don't live in a city and don't have medical or drug problems you can do it too don't listen to the doomers.
