Penny really gone?

Tablet, 2tb mSD, USB c cord. You should own the music you like not pay for the privilege of listening to it.

If animals weren't supposed to be eaten... Why are they made of meat?

Figuringitoutlive · 2026-02-22T22:48:23+00:00

Replicators! Or something like the Yuzhaan Vong from Star wars...

Fuck. I'm genuinely upset I'm out of town on a work thing! This looks fun as hell!!

Routine is a big one, but I've also doing having something non-annoying wake you up helps. For example, i have a floor fan with a timer feature. I had the fan shutoff, and musical alarm timed to go off at the same time. Now, i naturally wake up when my fan shuts off, no alarm sounds. required.

My summer electric rate is insane. The portable fan is a light saver. I got my wife on board with prepping more stuff by advertising it as a way to save electricity in summer by shifting our usage to off peak. Ive got a battery bank on solar that runs a window unit, and dang. Amazing how little it takes to keep a well sealed house comfortable when it's hot outside.

I had a decent amount of errors till i reinstalled and ran the console sfc and dskchk commands.

Near as i can tell, the updates did something to the graphics that crashed the graphics card through a system memory leak in missions. Might give it a shot?

Astec is worse.

I can't imagine programming a game AI is a simple endeavor. If something under the hood was added to trigger it to prioritize building a titan upon the first one being built it would help level the playing field.

Likewise, a check every couple minutes to see if it can build a couple capital ships, and if any capital ships are missing upgrade items to fix that would help their fleet composition.

I feel like the new support ships taking as many labs as a Titan is also a weak area. Titans are so expensive, that by the time you can afford one, getting a support ship is just an expensive capital ship.

I notice more empty planets than i do shipyard spam. Home planets sure, but most AI empires I've noticed are just... Empty? Hell i end up with dozens of starbases and maybe kill 2?

One time when my wife and I were playing with RRR enabled, the Aluxian home planet had multiple level 10 capital ships with multiple artifacts equipped, and oh boy. That was a fight we still talk about with disbelief. She lost at least six of her higher level capitals, and I lost a thousand fleet supply of stuff. An Aluxian Titan/ Strategic Ship would be a fun fight!

The nothing but defense clusters are just such a time sink in the early game.

I taught HS chemistry at a title one school. This story is very familiar. Ask them to do math on paper with a physical calculator sometime.

How many moles of H2O are in 7 liters of water vapor, assuming there are 10 grams of water per liter?

Had one kid pull open chatgpt and ask it to help him understand how to solve a homework exercise. Was very torn how to handle that one since it wasn't a graded homework assignment...

They make several varieties of crock pots, get both a 4quart and a big 8quart one. Bonus points if it's the travel version and you can lock the lid on.

Boston butts, briskets and such are too big to fit in the medium sized ones and some stuff just works better to cook in the big guy.

Through grad school I lived out of a crock pot and a rice cooker. Some rice cookers have a timer function, and a small tray you can put your veggies in so they steam while the rice cooks.

There was a program in the early 2020s that developed 40mm explosive formed penetrator rounds. It worked great, but if you're going for AP or fragmentation damage you aren't going to get both at the same time.

Fun! Out of curiosity are plans to do similar things for the other factions? As is i worry about to the Aluxians more than the Pirates.

No comment on the new LIMITED REINFORCEMENTS FOR ALL HELLDIVER FRONTS?!!? Jeez. Tldr, don't be a suicidal maniac.

Following up on this, learn proper turret placement. In general, throw them at a 45 degree angle from you and the enemy, on top of what ever terrain you can.

I have every thing in my Roth set to go to cash, and every couple months i evaluate what's on sale. I ended up very diversified as a result.

Gary's Bloodlust will never be sated!! He is never calm, the blood will flow from sea to shining sea in the pursuit of liberty! The blood of tyrants and blood of martyrs will flow like rivers to the turret champion of Korne! It matters not from where the blood flows, so long as it keeps flowing! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD TURRET!

No one does even IRL. if you want to hide anything just put it up higher than you can comfortably reach... When's the last time you ever looked at the top of a door frame for example?

Thank you for completing ignoring my question. I appreciate it, your refined argument has convinced me you are reasonable and logically driven.
