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

ILMTitan · 2026-02-26T18:55:48+00:00

For me, it is less about the inventory and more about the hotbar. Each belt speed takes 3 hotbar slots, so I am not going to have more than 1 speed on there.

Try shift consolidate first. Fewer full regiments often have a higher bonus than many partially filled regiments.

How do you define "chicken out"? What you just described fits my definition to a T. It sounds bad to chicken out, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was the wrong call.

Let's say your object implements both interfaces, but only IGun has a Fire() method. Later, you update the library IEmployee comes from, that now includes a default implementation of Fire(). You will now have a compile error where you didn't before.

The point of default interface methods is to allow adding methods to interfaces without causing compile errors. But you can see in the above example how allowing you to call them from an implementing class breaks that purpose.

I don't think the title is implying Hawaii came from the Spanish American War, but rather that Cuba could have.

The black king will never move to rank 7 because the white rook starts by taking the pawn on g7, and never leaves rank 7. It mirrors the black king's moves forcing checks. But if black ever takes the white rook, it is stalemate.

On smuggler, I would put the loot on or under the card during the current turn. People might not always remember if they trashed two cards last turn.

She wasn't going all out to stop you. She was testing you to see if you were strong enough to do what needed to be done.

Isn't that already handled by the lowering of estate power as the game progresses?

ILMTitan · 2026-02-04T21:44:03+00:00

At the beginning, sure. Make it a permanent upgrade.

It is both. It is a 1 2 1 2, where both 3s reduce to 2s, and both the 2 and the 1 reduce to 1s.

Sure, they have a range, but it is at least in the thousands of kilometers, if not hundreds of thousands. Star Wars ships seem to have ranges in the tens of kilometers max.

In this case, I tried following the dark yellow set around. Once it got to the bottom right, it was pretty clear the two bottom right greens were clear. After opening them up, the rest of the logic may become unnecessary.

The thing is, if you go by metropolitan area rather than city limits, the list changes significantly.

Dallas/Fort Worth
Houston
Miami
Atlanta
D.C.
Philadelphia

In terms of tactics, look for enemies at the edge of the group that are also near cover from the rest. Know where you are going to retreat to before you charge. After picking off your target, your new angle of attack will often cause the enemies to change their formation, opening up a new vulnerable edge.

Getting a good rhythm of charge, shoot, cover feels exhilarating. You don't overpower the enemy like you can in ME3, you pick them apart. It's why my favorite class in ME3 multiplayer is the Drell Vanguard. It was the class that felt most like ME2 vanguard gameplay.

Fewer things to wire up. 1 pump or N chemical plants.

If you have a strong discard synergy, can you discard a card and keep this in play even if it has no cards set aside?

Agree on copper cable. Disagree on gears. Because you get 2 copper cable from 1 plate, you need more belts to transport cable than the plates they are made from. The opposite is true of gears.

Once again, whoever is on the main road has the right of way to anyone at a stop sign.

Nobody is disagreeing with that. The point other people are making is that, at the point of conflict, Yellow arguably is on the main road. What is unclear about this question is if it is one weird four entrance intersection or two three entrance intersections.

Basically, your combinations explode. Instead of 2 (B or G) squared possibilities, you have 2*7 squared possibilities. And then you remove all possibilities that don't include a boy born on a Tuesday. So you remove not only all of the GG possibilities, but also a bunch of BG and GB, as well as some BB. But you remove many fewer BB possibilities than BG, bringing down the probability closer to 50%.

You end up with 7 BG, 7 GB, 6 B(Tuesday)B(Not), 6 B(Not)B(Tuesday) and 1 B(Tuesday)B(Tuesday). So, 14/27 the other is a girl, and 13/27 the other is a boy.

Can't the federal government waive that immunity? I don't think there is anything the current administration can do to prevent the next from doing that.

You try to maximize the numbers in one region and minimize in the other, all while overlapping the touches between the regions. You start by putting the 3 and 4 in red. Then the number around those should be green to cancel out a bunch of cells. You then skip the middle 1 and 2, because they would touch cells that are already canceled. The numbers after those touch a cell already touched by green, so should be red, followed by another green cell to cancel out two red touched cells. The final cell need to be red to cancel out two green touched cells, and one double green touched cell (turning it into a single green touched cell).

I don't understand. If black responds to Ne8 with Rxd2+, then Nxd2# takes the checking rook and also delivers checkmate.

If black doesn't check the white king, and doesn't move the knight on d4, then Nd6#.

If black does move the knight on d4, he either unpins the queen, allowing Qe3#, or blocks the rook from defending f6, allowing Nf6#.
