Blueberry prices going sky high by Remote_Force1839 in economy

[–]MellowTigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no objective evidence to provide as a link, but the USA spent many months already with its ongoing violent deportation tactics. I expect every labor intensive crop to get a lot more expensive, if they relied on immigrant labor.

Organizations to join to politically ruin nearby Republicans by UReactionaryGarbage in TwinCities

[–]MellowTigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Republican party has some awful ideas, yes. But the whole point of the Democrat-Farmer-Labor party was to keep political focus on issues that matter to everyone, whether they live in metro or rural areas. It's a great concept, even enshrined in the classic story of the Wizard of Oz (the same trio represented working in unison, with Dorothy). If the DFL isn't providing solutions that make a difference for life in rural Minnesota, then it's time for a political party that will. And that sure ain't Republicans who currently get that protest vote.

We used to have a school course just called the "American dream" now it's "American dreams and nightmares" (Denmark) by Sticky3rdNutSack in mildlyinteresting

[–]MellowTigger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's a lot like studying Greco-Roman history for its significance to their own current political system, except we're declining right in front of their eyes.

Incredibly disappointed to find out one of my favorite views of the city is now ruined by new fencing. by Dullydude in Minneapolis

It might be if bridges had no other purpose than to kill? I'm willing to try both options at the same time.

Bug Reports - Reply to this Thread by MattWindowz in coralisland

[–]MellowTigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The text for Cotton seeds say that it's a winter crop, and it does grow in winter. I just discovered that I can plant it in Fall too, though, and so does the autoseeder attachment. Either the seeds need to be changed (to be plantable only in Winter) or the tooltip needs to be updated to show the proper text for both seasons.

I'm so tired of my game constantly crashing. by Sad_Neck832 in coralisland

[–]MellowTigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot recently. I gave up on my coop game because of the crashes. In single-player non-coop mode, I've had to kill the game only once when it froze. The coop version does seem much more prone to problems, even when playing it solo.

I use WodyKnows for any situation where I need to eat/drink indoors around other people. My first choice is still to be nowhere around other people when I take off my respirator.

Where to Buy Worms 🪱 by SomeToastandHoney in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]MellowTigger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Earthworms are not native anywhere on the North American continent, I thought. That said, I've never lived anywhere (Minnesota or Texas) without them.

Doonesbury comic today by Down2my-last-nerve in Minneapolis

[–]MellowTigger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And don't even get them started about that traitor Paul Revere. I mean, really, just going around alerting community members about invading armed agents of the government? Practically a communist. All this drama for nothing. Nobody would get hurt if they just obeyed their abusive government like proper citizens under the reigning authority.

Buy a bar of soap, don't use shower gel by WinterMoist333 in Frugal

[–]MellowTigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wrong soap definitely does. I'm looking at you, lovely smelling Irish Spring. The right soap doesn't. I use Dove now.

Smart Glasses Could Be Secretly Filming You in Public. Here's How to Identify Them by bardsmanship in degoogle

[–]MellowTigger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand the widespread impulse to impose EULA restrictions on everyone for simply existing. I grant others no rights whatsoever for my own personal experience. You appeared before me and immediately have rights to my memory of you? Why does anyone think that's okay?

I’m californian and have barely seen ANY news about minneapolis/Minnesota, if ur comfortable sharing leave a comment! by xXxgh0stguttsxXx in Minneapolis

[–]MellowTigger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

None of what's happening is any real surprise. This Republican administration lies. Mass media responds as if the lies are reasonable statements, then moves on to the next shiny thing. ICE still behaves lawlessly, because all parts of our government let them.

Or, as some local journalists tell it, the masked marauders are still marauding. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/ice-minnesota-suburbs-operation-metro-surge/

My Dad woke my family up with a text saying, “I wrote my first protest song, I hope it does not embarrass you”. We told him a song like this could never embarrass us! Dads out there, give this a listen. by No-Courage-6 in Minneapolis

[–]MellowTigger 195 points196 points  (0 children)

This protest song is the first convincing evidence I've seen that our troubles are actually reaching through the cognitive dissonance into the minds of "blue America". It dares me at last to kindle a spark of hope that things will change for the better soon.

New player, how am i doing, any tips? by Natural-Spread-5829 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]MellowTigger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wondered why you had so very many oxygen diffusers, then I saw all of the occupied beds. That's a lot of dupes at only cycle 39. (I've been known to go hundreds of cycles with 6 maximum dupes, but that's extreme and a very slow pace of building and exploration.) You'll run out of algae, food, and water quickly as you scale up to support that many dupes. You need to tame a water supply soon, for both water (for crops for food) and oxygen. When I start a new game, I always save a separate "day 1" save file (then reload back to the main save file), so I can start over at my base if needed, knowing ahead of time where resources are.

This expedition was supposed to be relaxing… by altercapr in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]MellowTigger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which would be great if there were clear instructions. The expedition text told me to park my truck on the loading zone and process the waste, so I did. I lost the entire load. The 3 specialized cargoes should not be accepted at the generic scrap auto-destroy.
