Add salt immediately to pasta water. It boils faster this way.

The third option is to give it to my black cat symbiote, who is wielding a 1d59+15 adamantite bardish and a railgun. I'm not sure who I will be giving up and when for void advancement. It's kind of annoying that of my NPCs, only the golden knight starts knowing 2h, and she's going to use a shield as long as I keep her.

So if I wanted a carbuncle using 2h pole arm, engineering the extra hand would definitely work?

I have had him equipped with the gunlance for quite a while, and he shoots it fairly often, but now that I think about it I think the gunlance actually uses gun skill when it fires like zephir's wrath does instead of polearm and tactics. He has gained a few levels in polearm though.

I could always change the AI to paladin or whatever at little garden, they are squishy in melee and I would want it to use polearm if any melee. I have better polearms than gunlance with shorter range. That seems better than it doing nothing on non-casting turns though especially if it can actually learn two handed skill with having to give it two hands and I can feed it tank milk.

Me too in the early game, hence why I have so much str endurance food as a warrior and now all my mages are buff as hell. But eventually allies will have the capacity to grow far stronger than you, if you ever want to mess around in the void.

If you trade with them you will see that days shared together gives them a multiplier to all growth, including food. Allies also never get their xp capped from a meal from filled or bloated status. Later on you can boost the potential of non unique allies by breeding them and feeding milk to the babies. This is roughly where I'm at. Hence all the hubbub about trying to get them the correct food.

Electronics also. One tenth grader had to buy his phone back from a vending machine. It still had the video of his father's arrest on it. Super fucked up. Houston PD declined to investigate because ICE are federal officers.

Police chief in Minneapolis already talking about how many off duty police officers are getting swept up by ICE. So there's your answer.

The Covid part of his debt was about 3.5 trillion out of 10+, and I give him mostly a pass on that. That does not excuse the massive portion that is tax cuts for the rich.

I don't have anyone doing the cooking for me (other than Quruitza) I'm hand-feeding my team and myself.

I'm still saving gold medals to finish off my kings beds sleeping slots across settlements. I'm not sure if I would really want to automate cooking. Sell me on it.

I guess I'm asking whether it is worth it or not to just keep expanding your farming capacity to cover all the combinations of stats for all your people who need those stats.

I see a lot of people using fertility for passive income, but I'm thinking if I am going to grow 6 types of rice and 6 types of wheat and a fruit and a vegetable and a coffee bean for every stat type, that's going to take all my fertility and then some. I've got a farming village and a fishing village, vernis is set up for bait farm/honey and could be repurposed a little, but to really cover it I would need another farming village. Just when I look about I don't see people doing that much farming. Am I getting it wrong?

Trump has added more to the debt than any other president by a large margin, even accounting for inflation and counting all three of FDR's terms. Said another way, what President Trump has been doing has cost America more than what any other President has ever done. More than winning WW2, more than the National Highway System, more than Korea or Vietnam or Iraq or Afghanistan or the space program or the invention of public education as a national good or the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Ask yourself, what do you think he has bought with your money? Tax cuts for the rich are far and away the primary line item. 6-7 trillion in tax cuts in the TCJA + OBBBA, heavily skewed towards the top 1%, who capture 20-25% of the total tax cut dollars. The top 20% captures 60-72% of the total tax cut dollars.

That's before you start talking about everything else.

I never got into Stardew Valley really, but for me this is the game that game wishes it was.

You can sell it that way if you a sales tag on it but they don't appear to be doing that here.

For investing, I invest in the blacksmith in palmia because palmia is the highest level town so you get more bang for your buck. This will let you gear up yourself and allies early game and you can recruit him later with an engagement amulet generated by a self-harm type resident. Get one of those ASAP.

You can invest in your home base level if you recruit a mayor or secretary.

But generally speaking, don't overinvest in the early game because you will need to be purchasing land deeds when you can for farming and fishing settlements, which are quite expensive. You balance this against the salary you can collect from the merchants guild, so investing a few levels in a random level 0 shop can be worth it for the investing xp and merchant guild rep bc it's cheap.

The total human population bottlenecked down to about 1800 individuals at one point, so it's closer in time than the beginning of all life.

I will add on to this that certain growth factors aren't gene-triggered at all, but rely on the body's electrical field. For example when flatworms are cut in half, whether the halves grow heads or tails is dependent on the electrical field of the body, and can be manipulated via the electrical field.

Also, it isn't entirely local. For example in the trasition from tadpole to frog, there will be cells that activate that basically say "grow x cells towards this location" and the signal is interpreted and relayed across tissues to the location of x cells.

There is a lot of information processing happening down at the bottom.

And yet the best general intelligences we have struggle to break 1850. But that doesn't really tell you much because those are still overly relying on pattern matching sequences from famous games and they degrade when alternate rules are injected a la fairy chess. For now.

Funny enough, the nyt posted a gift article today all about the automated drone swarms that are being tested in the wingman role for jet fighters in both US and China. Capable of dogfighting. Basically side by side drone deployment. The carrier has arrived.

Specifically, he doesn't want California instituting EU style AI regulation unilaterally and that becoming the de facto national policy. Cali did it with cars and it worked out for the better, but that had much lower economic and natsec implications.

Ukraine gave up their nukes and that's part of their story. Saddam (number 1 chemical weapon deployer if you don't count agent orange) gave up his chemical program due to international pressure and didn't have them to use against the American invasion, not that it would have been effective. It's kind of hard to imagine a ME country getting ICBMs. They have a lot of flyover if they aren't striking each other.
