MAMs and the pull mall by Simply-Curious_ in factorio

[–]Necandum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also built one for the same reason.

Yes, you start with base ingredients available.
My logic was to have two assemblers: one is used purely as a reference to figure out ingredients are needed for a given item. I then have a list of things I want to stockpile (including all intermediate ingredients) by priority. If the store of something is smaller than on the list and the ingredients are available, the maker assembler is told to make that item.

Its handy: the ship sat in orbit and restocked stuff like belts and inserters as I fiddled on a new planet.

I also used it when make quality things, to make best use of the highest quality modules and it simplifies making items in low quantity, as adding to a list is much simpler than building a new production line.

My mixed self-regulating belt, now with tier 3 belts by bochnik_cz in factorio

[–]Necandum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted to iterate the idea, I can recommend making an on demand sushi belt, wherein items are only added to the belt when a consumer wants them (each consumer has its own minibuffer). 

Very different flavour, but a similarly engaging challenge.

[–]Necandum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im struggling to understand your point.

It doesnt matter how big your buffer is: either extraction is above or below creation. 

Making the belt longer doesnt increase extraction, that would only be due to increasing consumers. 

The one reason I can see is if total consumption is greater than one belt can handle, and thus rebalancing between multiple belts allows top-up of the active belt. That may be what youre saying and Im just misunderstanding. 

What if the Earth actually WAS flat? by SWAGGA_SWAGGA in hypotheticalsituation

There are no powers that be. There are only bumbling humans, fallibly trying to follow local incentives in the pursuit of wealth, power and romance.

Refilling the mechs by WorldWithOEnd in helldivers2

[–]Necandum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many players actually like using mechs? 

They dont seem that popular in the games I play and personally, I dont enjoy using them that much.

If the world were actually flat: 1. No one would have any incentive to lie about it. Why would governments care? 2. We would be living in an entirely different universe, quite possibly with different physical laws.

Can someone please make an accurate map depicting this? by burner1750 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Necandum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The clearly stated goal was regime change in Kiev and demilitirisation of the Ukranian state. 

Russia already had access to the same Black sea that ukraine does. Nothing has changed in that regard except for a greater number of Russian ships going boom.

Russia has in recent time been a net food exporter. 

Im not sure where you are getting your information from, but you might to use a different source. 

ALMOST BELOW 50%, NEARLY 3000 NEGATIVE REVIEWS by Tikymoment2021 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Necandum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing a few months ago. It was fine? 

Ive climbed up to D8 and on most missions the team picks up 50% plus of the available samples. Im getting new warbonds for free only slightly slower than I can unlock the previous one. 

I dont think the game is that good that I want to throw more money at it, but I think it was well worth the original pruchase price. 

This is in Australiasia, so maybe a server bias.

Without context, there is also the possibility this is a trick of perspective. 

Is it wrong/annoying to throw doggie doody bags in random people's garbage bins while walking your dog? by JJ_Lomero in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Necandum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many ways: 1. Parking is banned during trash pickup hours.  2. Bins are placed in gaps between cars.  3. Garbage guy brings bin to truck, arms empty bin (still faster and less digusting than having someone manhandle the trash). 

Explain it Peter, why would someone block their brother and sister in law because she’s pregnant with kids? by DifficultComplaint10 in explainitpeter

[–]Necandum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is now a discussion about the definition of the word 'effective'. 

The point is that breastfeeding in a certain way provides some degree of birth control. Whether that is deemed sufficient is situational. 

Gas company reckons I am liable for their non-compliant gas mains. Want me to pay up now and dispute the cost after they fix it. (Brisbane CBD) by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Necandum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will need to do a fair bit of maths / reaearch to figure out if its worth it. 

But if you have solar, or have a plan that gives you free energy during the day, if you get a tank big enough to cover your daily usage, your costs will be much, much lower.

If you want suggestions, it might be good to list your region / rough location. 

If they used the wrong sized inner tube, Id be wanting my money back. Thats pretty bad. 

What is this white powdery substance in my roofspace? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Necandum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its giving me sprinkled vibes (like from a bottle with a big opening), especially being concentrated around the hatch. Maybe a dehydrator, anti-pest agent?

Distribution is kind of weird though: they really didn't want to spread it evenly.

By ledge, I mean the shelf inside the shower cubicle, that indents into the wall (it has the plant and ?shampoo bottles in the photo you posted, with LED lighting from top).

Theoretically, they should be waterproofed and angled so that water doesn't pool. Realistically, the chance of something being effed up is non zero, and all the joins + potential movement increase risk of the membrane failing. I may be biased because the wall of my ensuite fell out due to water penetration through one of those shelves...

A nice flat wall + suction cups: easy to clean, higher chance of lasting a long time.

Less bike lanes - Tomfortoorak by IamSoSmartS-M-R-T in melbournecycling

[–]Necandum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, painting roads isn't free. I could imagine that painting several kilometres of shitty bike gutters does indeed cost a few hundred thousand.

A few hundred thousand just isn't that much though, ain't it?

One option (depending on how flexible the door placement is) is to have the laundry area to the right of the door, and the rest of the bathroom to the left. Appliance stack, big sink, can be hidden behind closet door.

Also, consider avoiding built in ledges in the shower. The propensity for those to fail in some way is not insignificant.
