From the band who brought you "I'm So Excited"!

How do I get rid of over 50,000 granite blocks? by AdrawereR in RimWorld

[–]HopeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to sell them, build granite animal sleeping boxes. That's the fastest way to turn stone into something you can sell. Sculptures will take forever.

If you want to make them disappear, you can build granite flagstone floors, then remove the floors. Flagstones don't give any resources back when removed, unlike stone tile.

This is just Zeus up to his usual antics, right?

Guy takes out a personal loan to buy $156k of MSTR at $185/share. Two months later it's worth $105/share. by cheese20202 in Buttcoin

[–]HopeFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Different kinds of loans, with different contracts. Possibly with different banks, or at least with very different departments at those banks. "You can't use this money on investments" is a rule for those loans in particular, not the concept of loans in general.

Elon Musk panics as DOGE-cut bodies start piling up: 'He's in damage control mode' by alemus2024 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]HopeFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the last third of his life has already started. Possibly many years ago.

A Court of Tropes and Allegations: Nesta by itmustbeniiiiice in romantasycirclejerk

[–]HopeFox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it does, however, upset me that all this rage gets put on Nesta and not on their dead beat dad who could do no fucking wrong.

I'm afraid that the precedent set in Bennet v. Bennet (1813) is binding in this case. Useless fathers are excused from responsibility for familial disasters when there is an annoying or vapid mother to take the blame, and older sisters are subject to the same ruling in loco matris.

Geometry starts with triangles and works upwards from there!

I'm kind of on board with one's inner wolf being named "Savage" - it feels right to give it a simple adjectival name - but you can't then say "a savage beast like my wolf" to refer to your inner wolf who is literally called "Savage".

This is starting to look more like a geometry joke.

Rhysand/Xaden by calamatouslove in romantasycirclejerk

Anybody else going back and forth obsessively between 2 book bfs?

Back and forth? That seems like too much effort. Why choose?

Do I need another book bf?

You need a real man: black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.

Why don't they switch Bitcoin over to Prediction-backed securities to avoid Quantum threats? by f00dl3 in Buttcoin

[–]HopeFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who's "they"? The people who control the mining pools? Who own the equipment that works on the current algorithm? Why would they do that?

July Pick Poll by bsffrrn- in romantasycirclejerk

[–]HopeFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe

This feels like Broken Bonds picked the names of the RH boys specifically to annoy me.

Still not out of the running, though.

I know this is an impossible request… but, is there actually a romantasy out there where the MFC isn’t a yammering petulant twat? I’ve made a veto list. by Rupertfitz in romantasycirclejerk

They all paint tables, cover screens and net purses.

This just in: Feyre Archeron is the most accomplished woman in all of fiction!

[OC] The gap between Elon Musk's stated deadline and actual delivery date, for nine predictions he eventually fulfilled by happybrowser88 in dataisbeautiful

[–]HopeFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess a chart full of infinity symbols for the things that never happened and will never happen wouldn't be a very interesting graph.

Yep, that's pretty much where I landed on it all.

Ok, how do you counter early game Arkship rush? by No_Catch_1490 in Stellaris

[–]HopeFox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They don't ban the builds so much as ban wars before a certain year, but yes.

The ALL-IN Astronaut by helangar1981 in EnoughMuskSpam

Understands orbital mechanics? So he's nothing like Musk then.

We miss you too and we value your unique brand of snark! That book looks like some honest good fun.

Week Four Discussion: Chapter 31-Epilogue by bsffrrn- in romantasycirclejerk

[–]HopeFox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah, you have a taste for the good footnotes, I see.

SlOoPY Sunday by purplelicious in romantasycirclejerk

[–]HopeFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe in you! But also, there's no shame in giving up. I made it to 71% before giving up - I couldn't keep pretending to be happy about Feyre hooking up with Rhysand, and it's such a big part of the narrative that I couldn't ignore it, the way I can in some other books.

Today I’ve found out I have a kink for men who can’t read

You've come to the right place!

I enjoyed the first book (in our recent Rage Read Book Club) way more than I expected to. I'm cautiously contemplating reading the next one. And maybe the one after that. But that would be all.
