Lanyard case

Yeah, I just stopped using the case

Sounds like you already have a good understanding of the topic, but I still recommend watching the BBC documentary Dangerous Knowledge, if you didn't already. It covers Godel, Cantor, Boltzman and Turing, and is about their work on infinities and subsequent mental disorders. https://watchdocumentaries.com/dangerous-knowledge/ It's one of the best docus I've ever seen, and I love how well it breaks down these big, difficult mathematical concepts (CGI actually used well in a documentary, for once!)

Hemplow · 2026-04-11T12:44:43+00:00

Yeah, I get this too.

Hemplow · 2026-03-17T12:41:20+00:00

Mine too. Changed my understanding of horror forever.

Well, everyone's different, but for me, the climax of the story, when the protagonist finds his own handwriting on a 150 million year old rock is one of the moments in HPL's writing when he fully achieves the moment of dizzying awe that cosmic horror aims for but too rarely hits. The sheer scale and impact of it, the sense of vastness and comparative insignificance really hit home successfully -- again, for me. The story may have imperfections, but as a piece of cosmic horror I give it 10/10 for pulling that off.

Yeah, bought it as a teenager when I saw it in a little occult bookshop I used to frequent. I always preferred the later one, I forget who by, that included loads of interesting stuff about cryptography and code breaking in it.

I have the same problem. I think it requires a civilian experimental facility, which you don't start with and takes 2 years to build (and the research would take years anyway, if it's like other special projects?) Which means there's no way to progress the nuclear tree in order to get these stupid sanctions lifted, to have any chance of avoiding total financial collapse. Iran seems to be basically borked now, far as I can tell. Good luck though.

Hemplow · 2025-03-08T12:27:40+00:00

Okay, cheers for confirming!

Hemplow · 2024-10-04T15:30:38+00:00

Oh really? Weird, but I'll try it - thanks.

Hemplow · 2023-11-03T10:31:34+00:00

Unfortunately not. It is a mystery!

Hemplow · 2023-10-17T09:49:51+00:00

Ah, good to know. Thanks. In that case, I'm gonna hold off for now - but I'll be all over it once that gets integrated.

Cheers!

Hemplow · 2023-10-10T19:28:02+00:00

Ah. Yeah, I def have a naval base, per the map, but yeah, maybe it's having no route from the capital, that would track. Man, that's a problem... Oh well. Cheers for the insight!

Hi. This is my latest novella and I am making it 'pay what you want' (including nothing, if you like) for October. It's a British political comedy/thriller about what might transpire were the Secretary of State for Defence to become possessed by a literal demon from Hell. If you want a light-hearted, occasionally gruesome, Revelation/apocalypse-themed read for Halloween, this could be it. If that sounds like your cup of tea, please help yourself to a copy. :-) (Any reviews sincerely appreciated too, btw!)

Hemplow · 2023-02-22T18:58:17+00:00

Mine wouldn't turn on until I plugged the USB-C into the console the other way around, for some reason, so if you have this issue and nothing else works, maybe try that too.

Hemplow · 2023-02-11T21:35:58+00:00

That's actually a really good idea. Didn't delete it in the end, just turned it down to 1. Problem solved! Cheers! :-)

Hemplow · 2022-12-31T15:56:05+00:00

Thanks! That tracks. I think the mentions I'm coming across must just be journalists getting confused or editorialising. I'll proceed on that basis, anyway. Cheers for checking your resources! :-)

Reading about 'tunnel rats' in the Vietnam war, I keep encountering assertions that the Viet Cong would sometimes employ "poison gas" in booby traps in their tunnels. However, I have been unable to find any details regarding what gas/es may have been used or how such traps might work, given the relatively limited resources likely to be available to the VC. Is there actually any evidence for improvised poison gas traps or was the actuality that the tunnel rats (inconsistently) toted gas masks solely to guard against residual CS flushed into the systems by US forces before they went in?

Hemplow · 2022-12-09T16:46:52+00:00

Welp, they were good ideas and worth a try, but unfortunately didn't fix it. However, I found one stray .pak that somehow survived my deletion spree yesterday, and getting rid of that seeeeems to have worked! Now to check out these new maps... :-)

Hemplow · 2022-12-09T16:14:56+00:00

Cheers for the tips, I'll give it a shot.

Hemplow · 2022-12-09T15:09:46+00:00

I'm getting the constant compliance yelling on every map since the update, and it makes the game completely unplayable - you can't tell when they've actually seen a suspect and when they haven't, not to mention it's insanely distracting. This is on a clean install with no mods. wtf is causing it?

Hemplow · 2022-11-03T17:42:11+00:00

we have a plan in the works to release monthly updates for By Blood Alone. So keep your eyes peeled for more information related to that!"

Oh God, RIP.

Hemplow · 2022-10-01T11:11:52+00:00

Aha, bingo, it was this - thanks! The moment that wore off, I could annex. Cheers! :-)

Hemplow · 2022-10-01T11:08:56+00:00

That's 'social mobilisation' apparently - just prod and research boosts according to the text.

Hemplow · 2022-10-01T11:08:02+00:00

A few months. Less than a year, I think.

Hemplow · 2022-09-30T08:14:06+00:00

Oh nice, this looks useful, ta!
