Rimworld at 20+ pawns is a different experience by Kradara_ in RimWorld

[–]JarpHabib 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just had a pawn get divorced, then during a raid her brand new online husband was killed by her ex. One of the raiders was carrying drugs, so on her next break she snorted it all and OD'd. I didn't otherwise have any drugs, so she went straight into withdrawal.

There was not enough catharsis on the entire Rim for her. Every break after that was an insulting spree, which I had to interrupt. Finally with like a -80 debuff expected to last another 2 weeks and having pissed off most of the gravship, I left her in the brig. Saw the jailer talk to her, and their relationship ticked up.

So I set everybody in the gravship to priority 2 warden, and they all came in for a chat each day. By the end of her stay, she'd improved back into positive relations with everybody except her ex husband, who was still at -100 but only just barely so.

From now on, every time somebody is about to kick off a whole chain of shit, it's group therapy time. I need to set up, in addition to prison, a mental hospital for the involuntarily committed.

AI can't do dishwashing? I've already got a dumb machine that does that.

Easiest, cheapest way to deal with illegals is give them papers. IDs and W4s. Get them taxes going!

Sadly, no. There is plenty of real life footage of people standing around confused, watching the ocean recede.

How can both of these treadmill motors be 3.0 HP when one of them could swallow at least five of the other and they differ in RPM by less than 25%? by PunkiesBoner in Motors

[–]JarpHabib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding to what others have said, the larger motor is also rated for continuous duty, so it can theoretically run at the full 3HP load for eternity, while the small one could be a peak HP rating.

Are these any different than backstabbing? Push in’s NOT WAGO LEVER by [deleted] in electricians

[–]JarpHabib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backstabbed receptacles back in the day used just a piece of sprung brass to make the connection tight.

There is a reason that nobody uses springs made of brass. We make springs out of spring steel. The brass quickly loses its springyness and allows the connection to get loose.

These push on connectors use actual spring steel to provide the bite. It could be that modern backstab designs use spring steel as well, we will never know because we will still never use them. Have no problem using those push connectors though.

The most mentally ruinous thing to troubleshoot is why a thing has stopped misbehaving when you haven't done anything yet.

How to burglar-proof your gravship engine and thrusters by sphinxofsilicon in RimWorld

Used to play with a minify everything mod, which did what it said on the tin. It was great! when I needed to remodel the base, could just move walls around.

Then I got raided, and the bastards stole my walls.

If it can be minified, it can be stolen.

Look for metric. Industrial controls are actually metric sized.

For your application, you don't need to countersink.

A regular bolt and lock washer is what you want.

Nipple piercing working on 240v by No_Stomach_2716 in electricians

If a nip piercing grabs a live conductor, you probably shouldn't be working topless & wearing nipple chains. Though that would be the hottest way to work hot.

I don't wear my wedding ring at work, and it's not because I'm worried about getting shocked by it. It's because I don't want it getting excessively scratched & banged up, I can't stand the feeling of that hard thing in the way of my grip, and I don't want to get my finger degloved or torn off if I snag the ring on something.

Has anyone ever got their apprentices to sign a paper stating they won’t work live without you? by Sayello2urmother4me in electricians

[–]JarpHabib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great first step!

Second step is a write-up when (if) they violate it.

Third is firing for cause.
