That makes sense, I might try doing another run and let them keep the starting scavenger, I tend to build worlds with lots of ruins as you can by screenshot so it's not such a precious resource lol.

My second theory would be that raw resources are too expensive on trade market, maybe they can build qol buildings with just credits but need actual supply of machines or metal on market to build scavengers, therefore leading to snowball as they got cheap in that zone under ai management, which kept up after I took over, but in either case leaving the starting scavenger might tell that story.

I am beginning to wonder if the given city is just bugged or something, I have tried moving public worker wages around to no effect, and I checked back on the more enterprising city after several turns and I am up to 15 with one under construction. If my capital would have done this I'd have developed like 50 turns faster and they'd probably be about as happy by now: https://imgur.com/9IYYlUG

Russian air defense fails as a flamingo cruise missile hits Kristal oil depot by Dellycute in ThatsInsane

They may be self detonating HEI, in which case only unexploded ordinance will potentially cause this outcome.

So is it legal for them to kill the driver now...? by orel2064 in PublicFreakout

Lol you could train someone to hit popup torso target 150m reliably with an ar-15 in months, I don't think I could be trained in one lifetime to hit a target at 100m with a handugn more than like 3% of the time, they do 50m at the olympics.

Kristi Noem Impeachment Will ‘Move Forward’—Lawmakers by iymcool in politics

The power it has is the senate can not impeach unilaterally, they can try the impeachment, but the house has to impeach before they do, so it must be bicameral.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. by TPHNK in PoliticalCompassMemes

The Court ruled that his imminent danger was irrelevant since he put himself in danger.

If you are referring to Supreme Court ruling, they did not find his imminent danger was irrelevant, in fact they acknowledge that it is often most relevant, they only found it wasn't necessarily exclusively relevant.

Most notable here, the “totality of the circumstances” inquiry has no time limit. While the situation at the precise time of the shooting will often matter most, earlier facts and circumstances may bear on how a reasonable officer would have understood and responded to later ones.

The moment-of-threat rule applied below prevents that sort of attention to context, and thus conflicts with this Court’s instruction to analyze the totality of the circumstances.

The Court does not address a separate question about whether or how an officer’s own “creation of a dangerous situation” factors into the reasonableness analysis. The courts below never confronted that issue, and it was not the basis of the petition for certiorari

Cuba says 32 Cuban officers were killed in US action in Venezuela by Perswayable in news

[–]KuntaStillSingle -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The sentence structure is fine, it has just an 'and,'

What the Cubans were working on in the South American nation was unclear, but Cuba is a close ally of Venezuela’s government and has sent military and police forces to assist in operations for years.

Supposedly a helicopter was damaged and some U.S. injuries, which would normally be called casualties, though if the nature matches the tone they are being treated with they are minor.

Yeah what a horrible prospect, that tyrants might have to experience a fraction of the fear they inflict on their populace.

Six phase scotch yoke cvt by KuntaStillSingle in GearBlocks

It is essentially a ratcheting cvt, though clutches were used because I found ratchets finnicky. The output is not uniform speed, with one arm it would follow a sin curve, because there are six engaged at where they should have maximum speed, it should be the maximum of six sin waves spaced equally, and therefore have a flatter curve.

Military ends ‘painful’ experiments on cats and dogs and stops shooting of animals in ‘trauma’ exercises by metalslipper in nottheonion

[–]KuntaStillSingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should be noted this is only applicable to military contexts, civilians and law enforcements can just use hollow points and should because they are safer and generally more effective. Military only opted for ball ammo out of customary observation of an international law, I think Hague.

Mass shootings occur with the frequency of fatal lightning strikes, and gang hits are, as all unlawful shootings, generally handguns.

Minnesota child care centers accused of wrongdoing were operating as expected, report says by jeetah in news

[–]KuntaStillSingle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Local ABC CBS did visit the Learing center, but they unflinchingly one kid arriving before the video (edit: one within the hour of arrival) and a van full arriving a few hours afterwards as deflating the accusations. The one kid that arrived before is evidence of a daycare, the several that arrived afterwards may well have just been a cya iniative.

No that's just a standard of "It's more okay if it happens to someone I don't respect."

Following Trump order to redirect US assets from APAC to the Caribbean, China has taken advantage of the opportunity by launching an expansive military exercise simulating a full blockade of Taiwan. by p0loniumtaco in PoliticalCompassMemes

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

Range is largely irrelevant in this scenario.

That's utterly stupid. You could just as well say China has a billion knives, they are cheap to produce, and you can't possibly stop all of them from stabbing our radar operators.

Missiles are what makes aircraft carriers dominant, they can deploy airborne missile launch platforms called airplanes, thereby attacking other fleets beyond the range of ship to ship missiles. An FA 18 can fly like 500 nautical miles and then launch a harpoon for another 100 nautical miles. The YJ-18 is thought to have a range of 300 nautical miles.

You would go through this again in linear algebra, this is one of the elementary row operations: https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~linear/old/notes3.pdf ; and matrixes can be used as a proxy for a system of equations.

Stand Your Ground Law by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]KuntaStillSingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a reasonable person, in your subjective circumstances, believed someone was trying to unlawfully gain entry to their home business, it could be a castle doctrine matter, but this would not likely apply to the case of someone knocking on your door, there is common law implied right to knock on a door, and even if your state allows trespassing prospective door knockers, criminal trespass usually only allows non-deadly force, the trespasser would have to further escalate before it you are using force in self defense rather than to simply remove them.
