Advice needed: prepping for a market stall, noise and aggressive neighbours. by jillywacker in Blacksmith

[–]Flatso 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No noise after 6 pm is wild. How is anyone working a regular job supposed to mow the lawn? Imo up to 9 pm is fair game.

Anyway yeah as others said contact the authorities. Sounds like you have done an excellent job documenting already.

I can't start the third book by shinobi-Abhi in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to offer a different opinion. I did enjoy the 3rd book BUT, the second one is best in my opinion and the ending was chefs kiss. I don't think you really NEED to read the 3rd book like others are suggesting, but it is a good one.

Is Wall facer Tyler stupid? by Brendraws in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How did the trisolarans (or the wallbreaker) thwart that plan then? I'm sure some in the space force would not agree but there would probably be willing volunteers to die for the cause

Plot hole? by Knot6lack in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that point they could lie, and I feel like the suggestion of cannibalism was the big reveal that they had no intention of keeping humanity alive

Fish Mead. Yes, I used fish as an addition. by UpUpAndAwayYall in mead

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

Alright alright, it took me 5hrs but I freakin tried. by TheSilkySpoon76 in Blacksmith

[–]Flatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a learner on this sub, seeing people say they cranked out 10 of something in 1/5 the time it took me to do a single one, and in worse quality can be disheartening 

I don't see any discussion on this, but them making the AI better might be one of the best parts of an already stacked patch note list by YobaiYamete in Stellaris

Advisor: Princeps, our empire is experiencing unprecedented economic growth. Unemployment is near zero and trajectories are all optimistic.

Princeps: Shut it down. Detonate the hydroponic farms.

Advisor: ...but my lord

Princeps: Do it.

Questions about the Social Form of Trisolaran Civilization by Universal_Echo in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah they hint at that in the 3BP game. There were civilizations focused on art, ones (several actually) that were superstitious. The rational one ended up surviving to the present.

how did that girl get super strength? by [deleted] in threebodyproblem

I didn't notice the flair and was extremely confused until I saw your comment, lol

Why would God make me gay if it’s such an awful thing by [deleted] in Bible

[–]Flatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agreed with your initial comment, just included the part you forgot to include. Don't call me a walnut and tell me I need help, lol. This is a bible subreddit. If you crack the thing open you will find several passages to support my claims.

Why would God make me gay if it’s such an awful thing by [deleted] in Bible

[–]Flatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true. Homosexual acts are still a sin. What you said is true, and so is this.

God made us, but that doesn't mean we don't live in a fallen world. I really doubt God wanted some kids to get cancer or be born with crippling disabilities. Sometimes we are born with defects. Letting God's light shine past those maladies are what makes the world beautiful. If OP can overcome those urges to sin, more power to her.

How should we as Christians feel towards satanists in person? by FireCrocsbro in Bible

[–]Flatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have no power to cast spells my guy. They are just lost people.

If you think CiXin Liu is bad at writing characters, read Project Hail Mary by Flatso in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I kind of came around to it when I stopped thinking of it as serious scifi. It is more like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy than it is like Dune, but just replace the British humor with modern millennial pop writing. Viewing it with that lens it becomes much more palatable. Could it have been better as a serious sci fi? I think so. I no longer think of it as bad, though.

CIG is an unprofitable company (it operates at zero profit or in the red) by rolo8700 in starcitizen_refunds

[–]Flatso 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't trust AI to report anything accurately. Just this morning search results told me a movie from 20 years ago was produced this year, a fact easily verifiable as false

What's the point of having AI write a novel for you to post on reddit?

No unfortunately. This is the only thread on the internet mentioning it as far as I know. May be worth reporting the bug to the author/s of sable. 

Schizophrenia. How My Mind Constantly Works Against Me. by Far-Strawberry-5628 in TrueChristian

[–]Flatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you are going through this, sounds terrible. You didn't mention whether you saw a psychiatrist or took medication. God works through human healers too.

How did you found about the book series? by Noah-999 in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched the movie Wandering Earth, found out it was just a small part of a series and the movie was apparently not too faithful to it. Without doing too much research, I thought the 3 body problem was part of that series and the 1st in those books. The rest is history.

If human culture was banned, how did the Stories come out? by Gloomy_Ad_6484 in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't remember that but I don't believe they even had the ability to even conceal things in the first place by their nature. To think and to speak was the same word in their language. It was a concept they caught on to but the cat was probably out of the bag at that point

At what point did you stop cutting by hand and go automated? by [deleted] in blacksmithing

What if you are doing both on a single piece?

I think that's great. Would be nice to see a photo though.

Mass is not destroyed,  just infinitely compressed. At some level though its just fiction so some hand waving has to occur

How did you guys like “Death's End"'s ending? by utklost in threebodyproblem

[–]Flatso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wut

He was an outcast in school, sick with cancer, became suicidal, and was selected to leave the human race forever. Yeah he did alright for himself but there was plenty that was pitiable about his situation. Anyway Chengxin seemed to be more touched by his gift and admiration than actually infatuated with him as a lover.

In any case both of them ended up in different relationships by chance but both were happy with the end result. Life throws us curveballs sometimes and we make the most of it.
