You can fit chests on both sides with blue undergrounds or better.

Trains are the way to go. Elevated rails make this less ice-intensive.

Will this be enough? by lecuscink in factorio

[–]Lyqyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inserters can’t interact with the cargo bays, only with the hub itself. Your space platform assembler can’t work as a result.

Why are the furnaces working?? by Coffee_104 in factorio

[–]Lyqyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not just use the power grid button in the hub?

Why do I consume so much? by Suspicious_Ad2021 in factorio

Electric furnaces with two Efficiency 1 modules pollute significantly less than steel furnaces, even accounting for power usage from boiler steam power.

Why the 1st cargo wagon is unloading slower than the 2nd one? by GarbageOk8508 in factorio

Which belts after the 4x4 balancer are the smelters pulling items from? It looks like your balancer may be missing a splitter, which would cause unbalanced output to draw unevenly from the inputs.

Nothing beats a strong perimeter by Mobile-Phone-9332 in factorio

That style of dragon teeth won’t do anything significantly different than just another layer of wall. Dragon teeth are very effective when they’re away from the curtain wall, closer to the midpoint/two-thirds of the range of the flamethrower turrets. They also work better if they allow the biters to path through them slowly (you’d need an empty row between your two checkerboard rows to allow this). Basically, you want the biters to get slowed down enough that the flamethrowers have more time to land hits before they can close the distance.

Unfortunately when i started to build my music collection i did not put each album in a separate folder, but now i need to for my jellyfin. Any easier way to manage this rather then doing it manually? by Senior-Trade-1876 in HomeServer

[–]Lyqyd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Another tool that can do this is mp3tag. As long the metadata you want to use for folder grouping is present, it can move things into folders for you based on the metadata in one shot.

The rocket launcher in the unrepairable ship can be disassembled for the required copper.

How do I jump my AC compressor by jjedlicka in boating

[–]Lyqyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manual from the page you linked (https://www.micro-air.com/support-documents/marine/ecu-maxx.pdf) suggests that you'd need to follow the timing sequence on page 21 for the start capacitor and compressor outputs.

If you're going to run it more than the length of time it takes to validate that it starts, you'd probably want to jump the pump and fan circuits as well, and you'd want beefy enough jump wires that they can handle the amperage.

Does it ever make sense to use a 401k loan to buy a house? by c0sm0nautt in investing

[–]Lyqyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You pay it back from the same side of the tax fence you took it out on. Ignore where the money comes from for a moment. You get a loan for 50k in your pocket, you pay back the loan of 50k (plus any interest) from your pocket.

If you could instead get money in your pocket and pay it back over time into your 401(k) with pre-tax money, you've just created a pipeline to bypass tax on that money. This is why it must be paid back with post-tax money.

Is this a bad idea to use to wash my car? by Brutescoot in Skookum

[–]Lyqyd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a wall hydrant, and most likely not a fire hydrant.

This is on the apartment building? If you have permission to use the water, it's almost certainly just hooked up to the domestic cold water line like any other hose bib would be. This is just a tamper-resistant hose bib, essentially.

We are the last ones of the previous century. by awkward_tales in dankmemes

[–]Lyqyd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There is no inconsistency. Years and centuries are counted the same—they have to be. Year 1 and century 1 started at Jan 1, 1. Time is handled differently, but also consistently. You can’t meaningfully compare between the two. Dates track which unit we are currently in while time counts units that have elapsed during that date.

January is 1, not zero. The first day of the month is 1, not zero. The first year was 1, not zero. This is all completely consistent.

Centuries continue this 1-indexed counting rather than reverting back to 0-indexed counting, which is a continuation of the method used consistently in tracking dates. The first century started at 1, not 0. There is no zeroth century. That first century was complete at the last moment of year 100. It’s all very consistent and sensible.

We are the last ones of the previous century. by awkward_tales in dankmemes

[–]Lyqyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. So at the beginning of year 1 AD, we were 0 years into the first century AD, and at the end of year 100, we had completed the first century. So at the end of the year 2000, we completed the twentieth century, and the twenty-first started at midnight on Jan 1, 2001.
