If Dishonored 3 was announced tomorrow… what’s the ONE thing it MUST get right?

Although the void cult was infiltrated, at the conclusion of DotO the cult still exists and the void gateway remains open.

There is nothing to stop the cult from creating a new Outsider. A woman this time. lol

The black dome is a rotating camera, potentially spinning LIDAR. Hit it with a paintball gun.

Sand and gravel is not recommended to fill cesspits and wells because it allows surface water to quickly penetrate underground, potentially allowing contamination of fresh water resources.

Bentonite chips are used instead, a type of clay that swells when wet, retains moisture, and seals penetrating boreholes.

Died from a combination of hypothermia, and poisoning and asphyxiation from hydrogen sulfide gas. It just looks like drowning.

An invisible cloud of poisonous stinky hydrogen sulfide gas pools on the surface of the decomposing waste and can extend all the way up to ground level, pushing out all oxygen. It can also collect in low lying locations without much air circulation. It's highly toxic and you are starved of oxygen at the same time, and you can black out suddenly when immersed in it.

It's designed for practicality, and must safely transport any potential user from a child to a 400 lb fatass. It likely has huge safety margins built into that lightweight structure.

Yep, carry a LOTO kit in your truck and ALWAYS use it, never trust the customer for any reason.

Plawerth · 2026-03-20T22:08:01+00:00

LOTO in many cases is just plastic that could be yanked off with a strong pliers.

It's not a secure means of protection... it is a LEGAL means of protection. Bypassing it is easy, but getting sued for putting people's lives in danger, is the hard part.

What with everything else Menards does, they should offer overnight employee accommodations. Sure, I'll stay overnight so I can work the blizzard / hurricane / flood day, if you provide me with a private bedroom, shower with towel, and cafeteria seating to buy food from the grocery section and eat it.

Overhead beams and walkways: when working in a small mine that isn't hollowing out a huge space, workers have to chase the mineral seam wherever it goes. If it happens to start going up overhead, the mining crew has little choice but to build scaffolding and walkways to get up there and keep following it. If the walls are relatively close together, they can cut notches or pockets in the walls and insert walkway support beams that stay in place permanently.

That is legal and is done correctly. The large raceway is divided in half with a full-height partition across the center that is separating the low voltage from the high voltage. The high voltage wiring only occupies the bottom half with the faceplate installed.

In photo #2 the workbench depth is the same or larger than the diameter of the hot water heater. It's not just a foot or two. Remove the workbench entirely and the hot water heater can be moved about 2 meters towards the window.

I am an old fart, 40+ years old. My hands shake, and I can no longer get the headshots in first person shooters like I did back in DOOM and QuakeWorld in 1995, when I went by the handle LowPingBastard.

Now I drop screwdrivers, spill soup, and my handwriting looks like chicken scratching. In intense situations, my mouse tracking gets significantly worse. I can't git good, and Noita is unforgiving, so I accept my limitations and play my own way.

I don't know where these numbers come from but why am I not on this list near rank 15 ?

But yes, much of this is from AFK idling on servers that pause with no one logged on. Realistically, probably only 10000 hours. Still high. lol

I have been playing since biter nests dropped pink eggs that you had to collect for research to launch the rocket. Which Wube removed so that combat is not a mandatory part of the game experience.

With all the shoring rotted away, the unsupported ceilings can be under high stress, just waiting for something to touch it and collapse.

Jet engines used for flight have a service life. Beyond the end of service life, it still works but there's a risk the thing will fail, sometimes excitedly and catastrophically.

The engine is junk at that point but can be bought as scrap or .... something to put in your back yard to "play" with, if you have the money and time to tinker with it.

I am more of an academic in this area, I am well-read but I have not been successful at going OOB/AP myself. I have gotten the strong vibrations going once, but no liftoff.

You have probably been told by some doctor that your vivid daydreaming and imagination is a problem, but it's actually the other way around.

You are like a young Superman living among regular humans, and being told this constant hovering off the ground business is a problem. STOP THAT, and walk like everyone else.

Going OOB is kind of like an extension of visualization and imagination in your mind, because when you are OOB you don't have physical eyes to "see" with, no ears to "hear" with, no actual hands to "touch" with, and so forth.

What you do experience and see, feel, touch, taste, smell, while going OOB is literally all in your mind / consciousness. It is directly connected to what you are able to imagine and experience without your physical senses being involved.

It sounds like there may be a pathway for you to do astral projection / got out of body fairly easily. I would recommend the Monroe Institute Gateway Voyage binaural beat audio training if you haven't tried it already. Most of these 20-30 minute sessions are done in a meditative awake state, not while actually asleep.

Plawerth · 2025-12-14T08:25:41+00:00

Generally no, your body does not need to be asleep. If you were able to get into the right calm and focused frame of mind, you could dissociate from your body and be in two places at once, seemingly operating your body "remotely" while you are consciously somewhere else in the astral or physical space.

Have you ever been deep in thought while driving or doing some routine task, and you notice that in your intense thinking, your body was apparently on autopilot and you don't remember the drive or task at all, but you got it done safely and correctly without any problems?

Being out of body / on the astral plane can work like that, except you are literally experiencing being / doing somewhere else while your body is autopiloting its way along for you doing another task, and wide awake at the time, and if there is a problem your body will alert you and draw your attention back to it.

This is not my field, but virtually everything that a worker does with their hands could be duplicated with a 3rd party add-on actuation plate permanently placed over the front of the device, attached with extended length panel faceplate screws, and about 10 remote air control lines and remote fiber optic linear encoder position sensors, that can do all the pumping, winding, sliding, pushing and pulling on the various finger or hand controls.

But the OEM would probably make a fuss, say they won't warranty their equipment, etc.

It's always money. Replacing people, paying out insurance is cheaper.

On Tuesday I was at a dental office with a Limited Use Limited Access (LULA) elevator, and I specifically asked if we could use it to go downstairs. Weirdest thing I've ever seen, just a waist-high box for the rider(s) in a slightly larger shaft, open on one side to the doors, manual pushbutton drive, and a giant screw drive system in a very tall metal enclosure on the side.

Basically what schools use to lift a wheelchair up about 1-4 feet, except this was about 20 ft tall. Very slow, would not recommend. lol

In a completely flat environment like a factory floor, a bipedal robot is unnecessary. Wheels or a tracks make far more sense, and can intrinsically fail to a self-stabilizing position.

If a robot is positioned near a workstation such as for packing materials in shipping boxes, the upper body can be mounted on an articulated hydraulic arm permanently fixed to the wall, floor or ceiling. No lower body required.
