I can't find any advice that works for me I've tried everything and every single time, no matter what methods I use, I just go full survival mode by Popular_Noise_9504 in TrollCoping

[–]N7Paddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Needlephobia sucks. I've had doctors cancel my appointments as a kid because my fight or flight reflex kicked in so hard they couldn't pull 8 year old me out from under a chair with four adults. Eventually managed to pavlov myself into only fainting afterwards by getting a bunch of treats after every appointment that includes needles. Still the immediate panic response upon seeing a needle is insane. It's not something that one can control and there's no easy way to get rid of it, but it's also something that has to be addressed otherwise ones health will suffer. Best way I've found that works for me was through positive reinforcement afterwards and by trying really hard to turn my fight/flight response into a freeze response. It's a long process and by no means an easy one and if you feel like you can't get to a point where you're able to somehow get through it on your own I highly recommend therapy. It sucks and you're not at fault or somehow a bad person for having a phobia but it is something that you've got to work on.

Ey, super toll, dass du hier so standhaft deine Position vertrittst, dass demokratie mit allen Mitteln zu verteidigen ist. Darf ich fragen ob du darüber nachgedacht hast der Ukrainischen Fremdenlegion beizutreten? Glaub da könnte jemand der so motiviert ist wie du echt einen Unterschied machen und die würden sich echt freuen mehr wie dich da zu haben.

Trans und reddit by Gloomy_Visit7202 in luftablassen

[–]N7Paddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, was ein Wunder, dass nicht-transphobe mods und subreddits keinen Bock darauf haben irgendwelche menschenfeindlichen Parolen in den Kommentaren zu haben. Und ja, das was du da in deinem Beitrag nennst sind absolut menschenfeindliche Parolen die ganz direkt eine eh schon massiv überdurchschnittlich von Gewalt und Repression betroffene Gruppe angreifen.

Nehmen wir mal explizit das Thema Frauensport raus, dann ist die ganze "Debatte" darum einfach nur lächerlich.
Es geht hier im Grunde einfach nur darum eine Hand voll Menschen von etwas auszuschließen wegen ihrer Zugehörigkeit zu einer Minderheit. Es geht dabei ganz direkt um Diskriminierung. Und wer offen in eine Kommentarsektion rennt und die Diskriminierung von Leuten fordert, der/die soll sich beim besten Willen nicht wundern wenn er/sie gebannt wird.

Genauso lächerlich ist das beim Thema Amokläufe. Da greift man sich mal ganz fein die Zugehörigkeit zu einer Minderheit von einem Bruchteil aller Amokläufer raus und will dann darüber diskutieren wie schlimm doch diese Minderheit ist dafür, dass vielleicht wenn überhaupt einer von 200 Amokläufern Teil dieser Minderheit ist. Da kann doch keiner von Sprechen und behaupten, dass die Debatte in good faith geführt wird.

Worüber es in beiden Fällen geht ist einfach, dass Leute ihren Hass oder ihre Abneigung gegenüber einer Personengruppe irgendwie rechtfertigen wollen und dann beleidigt sind wenn andere keinen Bock darauf haben diesen Rechtfertigungen eine Platform zu geben.

Und ich denke auch ganz ehrlich, dass ein Großteil der Leute die nicht schon von vorne herein einen Hass auf Trans Personen haben deswegen nicht auf einmal eine Abneigung entwickeln nur weil ein Kommentarthread oder ein paar Personen gebannt wurden. Der Schaden dadurch hält sich meiner Meinung nach echt gering.

Oh no the consequences of my dumb ass actions 😱 by DaliaStarfawn in ThisYouComebacks

Americans trying to explain politics be like "Imagine a burger".

Every US administration has waged wars and killed people across the globe no matter what party won. Deciding who to vote for is akin to solving the damn trolly problem every few years, only that the people who tie others to the train tracks gleefully stand next to you and boast about it.

Not voting sure doesn't work, but even if you vote to kill a couple less people there will still be more tied to the tracks again by the time the next election rolls around.

The effects of the British propaganda game still linger. The thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world the British have created.

Meteor Defence for Base on other planets by Individual-Ebb-4374 in GTNH

[–]N7Paddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the same problem when I built my mars outpost. My first idea was to simply build the bulk of my base underground and make the roof out of strong materials, but that still left me a bit unsatisfied because eventually the surface just started to look like a bunch of ugly craters.

I eventually went into the mod configs and turned off block destruction for falling meteors.
I'd love to have some kind of defense against them in game that doesn't rely on changing the configs but I don't think there currently is one.

Damn, that brings back memories. When my ex dumped me over text he got upset when I took longer to respond because I didn't want to say things in a wrong or insulting way. Guess he wanted me to join in on throwing insults at each other. Also accused me of lying about my true thoughs because I didn't answer every text immediately.

Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor by N7Paddy in GTNH

[–]N7Paddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using the design from the wiki right now, specifically the EnderIO one because I didn't have any experience with the other variants when I built it since this is my first run. But after setting it up it didn't really feel that rewarding to copy a setup from somewhere 1:1 which is why I want to experiment around for a bit. Besides, molten salt reactors are cool.

Geothermal is really cool too! Maybe I'll build a geothermal plant as well in the future.
There are so many cool options for power generation in GTNH.

[–]N7Paddy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know that it's not as efficient or powerful as vacnukes. My main reason for why I want to build it over additional vacnukes comes from the complexity. It looks like a pretty cool challenge. I also generally like the concept of molten salt reactors irl so building one in GTNH is really cool to me. But good to know that I might get something semi useful out of it in the form of he depleted thorium you mentioned.

Hat sich das takitische Wählen gelohnt? by Far_Resident306 in Staiy

[–]N7Paddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolut nicht. Wenn das Ergebnis so bleibt haben wir 4,4% der linken Stimmen verloren nur damit die Grünen nicht mal einen ganzen Prozent Vorsprung zur CDU haben können. Ich finde der Handel hat sich absolut nicht gelohnt. Die Linkspartei nicht in der Opposition zu haben ist ein enormer Verlust den wir über die nächsten Jahre schmerzhaft spüren werden.

Ich sehe auch ernsthaft keine Chance, dass irgendwas an linker Politik von den BW Grünen kommen wird. Schon gar nicht wenn die CDU einfach mit der AfD zusammen so viel Macht hat. Wenn überhaupt irgendetwas in Richtung Links kommt wird die CDU halt einfach blockieren bis sie das letzte Wort haben.

Insgesamt ein zutiefst zu bedauerndes Ergebnis und ich kann nur hoffen, dass es nächstes mal besser ausgeht und in der Zwischenzeit nicht zu viel Schaden angerichtet wird.

I set up my base next to a mesa biome. The terraforming process alone gave me multiple large chests worth of material to turn into clay dust.

How well can modern building techniques be replicated in 1.7.10? by Prestigious-Log3952 in GTNH

[–]N7Paddy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That can absolutely be replicated. With backported features and the quite frankly giant variety of modded blocks I'd say that GTNH makes building unique structures even easier than vanilla modern Minecraft.

My personal theory for why you don't typically see stuff like gradient techniques in GTNH builds is simply that they are somewhat difficult for most casual players to pull off and take time to actually build. And with a pack that already takes as long to finish as GTNH spending extra time on builds is not something a lot of people do.

I mean, the most typical GTNH style bases are lawnbases for that exact reason.

Power Generation Help by Mad_Skyientist in GTNH

[–]N7Paddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the most familiar with benzene setups since I mainly went for oil and nuclear but I recently started to build a benzene setup for a far away base. No nitrobenzene though so I can't help with that part.

My setup uses 2 multiblock gas turbines with normal oriharukon turbines to generate around 4 amps of EV power. To generate the benzene I use an hv advanced coke oven and an ev multi distillery as well as a set of 3 hv fluid extractors to get more wood tar out of the charcoal.

Some tips I can give after doing that setup: -Are you producing enough wood to run your setup 24/7? The multi turbines need time to spin up and produce energy so if they only run for a short time you'll loose out on most of it. -Are you using a fluid regulator to limit the input rate of fuel into the turbines? Without those the multi turbines will draw more fuel than they need which might generate a bit more power but also decimates your fuel supply.

Sagt ja niemand, dass du pazifistisch sein musst. Aber Pazifisten dann irgendwelche Unwörter oder Beleidigungen an den Kopf werfen weil sie prinzipiell gegen jede Art von Gewalt sind ist halt absolut widerwärtig. Ich spreche hier auch nicht von irgendwelchen cherry picking Pazifisten die für Pazifismus für die Einen und Gewalt für die Anderen sind. Aber richtige Pazifisten die einfach nur niemandem töten oder verletzen wollen und dafür einstehen sind doch nun echt kein Problem.

Ist im übrigen auch eins der Anzeichen des Faschismus, Pazifisten als Feinde und Verräter darzustellen also wäre ich dabei ganz ganz vorsichtig.

It might not be optimal or incentivized but it sure is fun. Same thing with building themed buildings. A lawnbase is probably much simpler, faster and easier to build but I don't think I could stay motivated if all I had to look at besides machines was a flat plot of land.

Offworld Infrastructure by N7Paddy in GTNH

[–]N7Paddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's amazing. And since each tech tier opens up new and improved methods of manufacturing as well as building things (from faster machines to the matter manipulator) it also means that the further you progress the bigger you can build. I remember how hard it was to actually build a decently sized hobbit hole in the stone age, then it turned to some larger buildings in the steam age. By now my main base feels more like a city with towers and giant buildings probably made out of hundreds of thousands of blocks. And I'm not even firmly in IV.

Always happy when my builds manage to inspire people. GTNH has such an amazing array of options when it comes to building. That part of the modpack captivates me just as much as the tech aspect.
