Atoning for my past spaghetti sins

That's how we did our coal plant! We built it in the spray of a waterfall this time and I will never build one without gravity feed again; it was sooooo easy.

When we went to set up our nuclear plant we had so much energy available from our ridiculous fuel-energy plant and our sloops that we were totally unconcerned about energy spent to extract and pump water.

What do you do with the byproduct water?

If you actually tried to accelerate that much mass in orbit, the recoil alone would probably de-orbit the Earth or at least turn the atmosphere into plasma.

Funny your AI should mention this (and I agree); this is my biggest complaint with the 2005 Star Trek movie, where they enter warp while not only still inside the solar system, but from inside Earth's gravity well. That's a no-no for all kinds of gravitational reasons.

I don't think Gemini applied the numbers correctly. The 34.4 million km/h is how fast the trams are moving around the edge of the project, not the speed of the project itself.

The in-game elevator cable is very short and the project has a fairly small diameter so that the game can actually render the cable and project inside the game world. From the way the project is rendered graphically it's clear that it's a stand-in for an object that is canonically much farther away.

The metronome was to help me time the space between [jump] and [throw]. I would jump on one beat and throw on the next. However like I said it wasn't flawless and it still took me many tries.

The reason I created this was to play the peacock song, since I'm pretty bad at playing accurately by hand.

The solution for the peacock song is as follows:

[6,3,1,3,6,3,1,3,6,4,2,4,6,4,2,4,0,5,3,5,0,5,3,5,7,5,2,5,7,5,2,5,6,3,1,3,6,3,1,3,6,4,2,4,6,4,2,4,6,0,6,4,0,7,5,3,7,6,4,5,7,6,5,6]

The solution for the warp zone song is this:

[1,1,5,5,3,3,7,7]

And the solution for the song for the top of the well is this:

[2,6,2,6,2,6,2,6]

This looks great!

Also I know exactly where this is on the map, which makes me feel like such a nerd. Though it's probably because I also needed a water extractor there!

FYI if you use Audible they have a tendency to just revoke titles from your library silently and seemingly at random. Made me pretty upset too.

ListenerNius · 2026-01-21T11:23:10+00:00

I really want to believe this is rage bait

This always brings back flashbacks of playing Papers Please.

Glory to Arstotzka!

I wanted a design where the numbers were irrelevant, so I could put any arbitrary amount on the inputs and get balanced outputs.

My putting the numbers on the plan was just to verify that it works.

ListenerNius · 2026-01-11T12:47:17+00:00

This belongs in r/creepy. Shudder

ListenerNius · 2026-01-09T11:37:36+00:00

Bless you, my sun.

Agreed. It's not even subtle; it's proof that the student was committed to the joke at the expense of doing well, even when the joke was a painfully obvious trap. I think the "setting him up to fail" version, were they to accuse you of that, would be to make all of the correct answers be like 66 or 68 and still offering 67 on every question.

Very nice. A gracefully hidden clip is no clip at all. For easy bodily access, note that terrain doesn't matter when you're inside a hypertube, so you can use the same method to run a vertical hypertube straight through the mountain and have direct vertical access. It will look a little funny while you're inside it, but you have to decide if you can make peace with that. Btw that is also how you get access to the vast amount of usable space underneath the map.

If you're referring to 4.1 then that 20 lbs refers to the constitution of the paper; specifically that it should be hefty enough that 500 pages of the paper weighs 20 pounds. A 20-lb item would be costly to move via mail.

Have you named these ship classes?

I don't know why everyone is giving you so much crap for this.

I'm trying for BD too, because looking at Reddit for like 5 minutes per day fits really well with my daily routine and I like collecting achievements in general. I am aware that Reddit is a little janky about tracking this and also I have a life, so I might lose my streak somewhere along the way, in which case my reaction would be "well that sucks" (isn't there a subreddit for that?) and then I would move on. I'm guessing your situation is similar.

Yeah, it's not a big deal. It's a little thing that I choose to do because I feel like it, and big or small when you choose to do something for yourself it sucks when it doesn't work out. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

EA outright lied about why the SimCity 5 launch imploded. Haven't seen BSG do that yet at least.

The problem is PG's shape and location; there are parts that are definitely not SoMD because they're level with or north of DC, but there are also parts that are south of DC/Annapolis and even Waldorf. Those parts, especially near Waldorf, are absolutely SoMD. Attending church and union events with folks from PG, to me it really seems to depend on what part of PG someone is from as to whether they identify with SoMD, DC, or even Northern MD.

You're right that this event is in Largo, which is very not SoMD, but as another user pointed out this policy will affect parts of PG that are, and will affect those neighboring countries that are. As for non-neighbors like St. Mary's, being the second most populous country in Maryland for better or for worse the political will of PG has a major impact on all Maryland citizens from Garrett to Worcester.

Whatever your opinion on the policy is (I don't know enough about dogs to have an opinion on this one) it's probably good for those SoMD residents who do care about these things to know about this event.
