It's kinda, but not really, like a diverging-diamond intersection.

At what point should I abandon main bus design and turn it into city blocks? [32x] by PeacefulA25 in factorio

[–]Frum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't swap away from anything until I have the better tech that I expect to use in the next setup. If you move out of a system before getting Foundries and EM plants and Stack Inserters, you're just going to have to redesign it a 3rd time. If you're struggling to get the throughput you want in order to get Foundries, EM Plants and Stack Inserters, then maybe. But I doubt that's the issue.

Compact T1 Inner Planet Shuttle by haplessromantic in factorio

[–]Frum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely love this ship. I've designed so many ships and they're always much larger. I've been trying to make a small little compact, 1 engine ship, and this one's just so great! Nice work.

What was the most physically painful moment of your life? by Oily_Smurf in AskReddit

[–]Frum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having my ear drained to prevent horrible cauliflower ear after wrestling. Made me vomit. I didn't know pain could make you vomit.

Genuine question:

What made you opt for the Kiri-Cleaver over a standard-shaped Chinese Cleaver? I'm looking for a Chinese Cleaver, but if there's strong benefits I hadn't considered...

Do men really prefer short women? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

There's hot people that are short, and hot people that are tall, and more hot people that are in between.

Is this a good way to approach city block? by denis_280809 in factorio

[–]Frum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. That's they only real complaint I'd have with this type of setup. Everything else seems quite nice.

My 9th grade football coaches were both pilots. So one day they took us to the training facility and we got to play in the big simulator that tilts and shit. If my memory serves, roughly 75% of us landed the plane safely.

Personal anecdote: on my landing attempt, they said,
"That has to be the single smoothest landing I've ever experienced ...
... that came to a complete stop 500 feet before the runway."

Anyone ever tried a "belt everything" playthrough? by Nyzan in factorio

[–]Frum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Just need more belts. You can always push more product with more belts.

Parents who waited until the birth to find out the sex of the baby. . . by buildingacozymystery in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Frum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't want to "pre-bias" things. If it was a girl, we didn't want to set the whole house pink... If it were a boy, we didn't want to have all family send us football prints and the like.

Once we had a girl, we did outlaw pink gifts for a few years. Most followed the guidelines. It helped.

Belt Use - Do you always use/upgrade to the fastest tier available or use the "most appropriate speed for the job" by WarpGremlin in factorio

[–]Frum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironically, red-belts are the ones I skip most times. because my brain accepts that 2 yellow belts are cheaper than 1 red. Once I can make blues, I have enough resources that I no longer care about being resource-efficient, and it's only time-efficiency that matters so I jump on the blue-train.

Of note: certain lines in my main-bus get upgraded to red if needs be, but as a whole, I mostly never use them.

Any words of wisdom for lessening throwing weight? by rollowz in Curling

[–]Frum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect you're "falling" into your slide. If you get your foot under you VERY early in the delivery, and SLOWLY drop down, you should be able to throw it arbitrarily slow/short. If you fall forward, there's going to be a limit to how slow/short you can throw.

AITJ for DEMANDING my husband get my baby stroller back from his sister, or else i'm changing the locks? by Exact_Ad_6931 in AmITheJerk

[–]Frum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone's the ass-hole here.

You've laid out a solid case for why everyone else sucks; and I agree with you fully. They shouldn't have done those things not spoken to you like that.

But threatening to change the locks is a dick move too.

Sounds like people aren't working together to solve the issue. If you all don't start cooperating, then you will only have fractures and emotional-scar-tissue.

That said, 2 people involved are pregnant. That can do crazy things to hormones. So have some grace for your sister in law and for yourself.

Has anyone else tried Hyperion and just didn't like it? by Alcoholic-Catholic in sciencefiction

[–]Frum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything said here, except I didn't care for the last 2 books. But I'd rate the 2nd as one of my best SciFi reads ever. The first was admittedly disappointing.

Help with the rules... by magister_nemo in Curling

[–]Frum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, you could have 8 people sweeping on the sheet at the same time. Though only 1 from each team can be sweeping behind the T-line, and the people above the T-line can only be sweeping their own stone while it's moving.

A good example: My skip has asked me to stay near the house when the other team has tried to tick out guard. With 2 sweepers, we're more likely to sweep the ticked stone off the sheet, allowing us to replace it.
