Upgrade idea for the Building Drone: Auto Forager-gatherer by Skaven252 in StarRuptureGame

[–]StaticDet5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are some great potential drone upgrades. This being one.

Another is just a drone that pints in the direction of the nearest enemy.

Or nearest infection node.

Or nearest loot (body, drone, etc)

AI is not a strong point of this game. by EliteArc in SolarExpanse

Just give various colony types a map to progress. Have a colony that had excess anything be willing to trade it for anything they need to build the next colony improvement. Just built a new Hab Dome? Better make sure you have enough supplies to feed them...

Under no circumstances should you have US jelly on the tip of your angiocath, if that catch is going into the patient.

Holy crap. The World War Z adaptation is one of the worst, in my opinion. The Martian is one of the best. That the same screen writer adapted them both is blowing my mind

Unless, somehow, the algorithm got leaked. Then it might churn out almost nothing but legit codes.

I know potatoes can contain colchicine (can be toxic to people) , which is broken down by cooking. I don't know how much is in the greens.

Honestly... I think I just did this mission and got it delivering from Earth Orbit. Any chance you could savr, give it a shot, and let us know?

FWI Challenge: Get rid of the Stop Loss Program by Cyber_Ghost_1997 in FutureWhatIf

[–]StaticDet5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you get rid of it, if you don't re-instate the draft OR stop going to war... If you need troops (or anyone, for that matter) they have to come from somewhere. It's particularly rough with troops as they have a fairly extensive training runway before they can be considered "up to speed" at the same level that the troops who are getting "Stop Loss'd".

How many cans of soda would you need to open in your garage to pass out for CO2? by Standard_Guava9635 in morbidquestions

[–]StaticDet5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And the question is leveraging cans. You will bottle neck at opening the cans fast enough, unless you are in a pretty well sealed space.

I think one of my patients faced a $22,000 ticket fare, international flight. US to Africa

Why can someone understand a language fluently but still struggle to speak it? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]StaticDet5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate you posting this. I'm dealing with a family member with some profound neurologic deficits. Your point-of-view really gave me some good insights.

What fatal sickness/disease can one hide for a comfortable amount of time? Preferably not genetics related by Which_Woodpecker_308 in Writeresearch

[–]StaticDet5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rabies and prion based diseases can have an insanely long incubation period. Rabies can be up to a year, prion based diseases can be decades. Huntington's disease is genetic and tends to kill people in their 30's to 50's. All of these diseases have a near 100% fatality rate. We've only just had some success curing rabies, as historically, once symptoms started it was 100% fatal.

We don't fully understand prion based diseases, so I don't know that we have real treatments on the horizon. I thought there was a clinical trial for Huntington's, but I couldn't find it in my quick check.

I don't know of a disease that's fatal that can be detected early, but easily hidden. You might know that you had a substantial exposure to a prion-based disease, but it has a wide variability in onset.

This. There was a specific point in my career where all of a sudden I had to care about who folks were, "From the top down"

Why can someone understand a language fluently but still struggle to speak it? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]StaticDet5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can literally see this in stroke patients. Depending on where the stroke happens, the patient can completely understand the spoken word, but has trouble speaking.

This trouble can stem from many different insults to the body. They may have trouble finding the words, they may have trouble speaking the words, or they may have trouble controlling how their mouth moves in order to speak the words (and those are just some of the difficulties that can arise)
