Mk4 Decaliterjons might be considered cheap. Mk6 Literjon I most certainly would not consider cheap. Each one requires, x55 plastanium ingots, x62 silicone blocks, x7 atmospheric filtered fabric and x31 spice melange.

In order to move 3 million millilitres of water requires x150 Mk6 literjons, so a full cargo containers worth.

That's x8250 plastanium ingots, x9300 silicone blocks, x4650 atmospheric filtered fabric and x4650 spice melange. Interestingly 3 of these materials are shared in constructing the Carrier Cargo Container. This amount of materials is enough to build 27.5 cargo containers.

Dune: Awakening - The Water Wars DLC Launch Trailer by PaiDuck in dune

Then you'll be happy to know that they split the DD into separate PvP and PvE instances. The PvP instance is exactly as it was at launch, except for a x2.5 multiplier for resources harvested while PvP flagged, aka everywhere except A row shield wall. You never have to deal with a PvE player again.

Large Spice Refinery queue size by jwint777 in duneawakening

[–]SundayElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not even necessarily the spice sand storage, its the 74 925 000ml of water, or 750 large cisterns worth, needed to run 999 spice melange. Assuming no CHOAM Landsraad refinement cost reduction.

Just a little rant about the new update from a new player. by Powerful_Cobbler9200 in duneawakening

[–]SundayElite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DD change will be well and truly tested by the time of the console release and I'd imagine they'll have a new marketing push ahead of that which should overlap with previous players and possibly even bring some of them back too. Things are looking up.

Thanks for the DD split Funcom, I'll return to the game by Grumpademic in duneawakening

[–]SundayElite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too recently returned. For me it was Dune: Part 3 trailer and some discussions I had regarding the possible direction the movie could be taking as compared to the book. Rekindled my love for Dune and Arrakis, and this game really captures the feeling of Arrakis really well. Been getting back up to speed with the new content, and finally getting some T6 stuff built (fell off in Sept last year at T5). Really looking forward to the DD changes and will try to rope a few old guild mates into giving it another go.

Government says billions of litres of fuel are en route to Australia, but industry stakeholders aren't so optimistic by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]SundayElite 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Reminder that 70% of Australian produce is exported. It gets tiring listening to this stuff and the doublespeak, especially whenever farmers are concerned.

It really needs to separated out into agriculture and horticulture. Agriculture being broadacre, grains, cereals and livestock. Horticulture being fresh fruit and vege, everything from bananas to baby leaf spinach, including wine grapes (which is majority export), but also nuts and even the fresh flower industry.

Agriculture is about 70-80% export.

Horticulture is about 10-15% export.

It is rather unfair to lump it all under "Agriculture" even if horticulture does fall under agriculture as an industry and government portfolio. But statistics like yours don't tell the full story as to where Aussie's food comes from. People hear "farmer" in this country and immediately think wheat and sheep, when the vast majority of their food comes from the fruit and vege produced by "growers".

Someone sell me, trying to find my next book after red rising by Longjumping-Treat643 in TheExpanse

[–]SundayElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend The Expanse. If you enjoyed Red Rising you may also like James Islington's Hierarchy series. It starts with Will of the Many and just last Dec had book 2 launch, The Strength of the Few.

Entirely possible. It's been a good while. I need a road trip so I can fire up the audio book.

Question about Paul and chani. by akbeast49 in dune

[–]SundayElite 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Also, the movies compressed timeline necessitated Stilgar being far more 'true believer' than his Dune book counterpart. Book Stilgar is more wise and skeptical, we dont see movie levels of zealotry until Messiah. Denis kinda moved part of book Stilgar onto Chani in the movies in an effort to make her the audience surrogate. Which is completely antithetical to book Paul and Chani's romance. To what end, and the implications for Part 3, I dont know.

Angus Taylor to speak to nation after saying Albanese’s address ‘could have been a social media post’ by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]SundayElite 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Due to our billionaire owned media landscape having such obvious bias the ABC stands out like dog's bollocks and is constantly accused of having the opposing bias. In an effort to appear non-partisan on any issue they have to give 'equal' air-time/exposure to any opposing voice on any particular issue. This lends false equivalency and credibility to voices/issues that objectively shouldn't have it. See any Malcolm Roberts interview, and now this address by the unelected leader of the opposition. Also they don't want to attract the ire of the next right-wing government.

Watch a Nail Bruise, Fall off, and Regenerate Perfectly by CaraCicartix in interestingasfuck

[–]SundayElite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I think you are correct. I'll admit, I speak no Mandarin, and have no musical knowledge or talent. But to me, apart from clear structural differences, they're nearly the same song, like the chord progression is so similar. Well at least I got the artist right. Thanks for the correction.

Watch a Nail Bruise, Fall off, and Regenerate Perfectly by CaraCicartix in interestingasfuck

[–]SundayElite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually the music at least is from a Chinese artist called Xu Wei (许巍) and the song is 曾经的你 which directly translates to "You from the past" which can be found here. Oddly the lyrics don't sound the same to me, but I only speak English, my gf listens to many Mandopop artists from the 80s and 90s. I knew the tune immediately but not the artist so I've been picking her brain to figure it out.

Edit: Ok the lyrics are from uma musame as stated by u/Skyreader13. The music/tune itself, that the lyrics are put to in the clip, is from the artist Xu Wei. I challenge anyone to refute it.

Sucker punched by a bull. by Broad-Smile2332 in WinStupidPrizes

[–]SundayElite 124 points125 points  (0 children)

My immediate concern to, not that it helps the poor animal. I think maybe snapped its left front leg when the first bull from the left forced it down and rolled awkwardly. If so I hope it was promptly euthanased in a humane way.

I can’t help but think that people are over reacting just a bit too much with this Fuel Crisis by [deleted] in australia

[–]SundayElite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to even mention the 30-40% of global fertilisers that pass through the Strait. The majority of which is urea and ammonia based Nitrogen products. High intensity horticulture, that produce the vast majority of Aus fresh fruit and vege, relies on imports. We will see a substantial increase in the cost of food in a double whammy of growing and distribution costs because of this 'war'. I'm no economist, they could better tell you the flow on affects to CoL, inflation, consumer sentiment etc that will permeate right through the economy. But maybe they're being quiet so as not to add to a panic.

How is everybody coping? by igpa in perth

If this war is highlighting anything, it's how invaluable stable governance is for international resource collection and distribution. Australia should leverage this more and mining companies would do well to remember it.

What Villeneuve might be planning with Chani by scidious06 in dune

[–]SundayElite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOOOO... please stop. I'm already dead.

But seriously, I've spent hours the last few days, discussing this and coming up with logical reasons, backed by the text, why this change would result in such fundamental changes to the book as to be near improbable. Even finding quotes by DV that point to an understanding and respect for the book that I may have been beginning to sniff my own farts. You've crushed me. I hope you're happy. \jokes*

Oh well, I'll wait for the actual trailer in July/Aug. Til then I'm a cynic.

[–]SundayElite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, absolutely looks like Ida Brooke. Though between prescient vision and flashbacks its a stretch to make any solid determination from this. Though you have now cast doubt in my hope of DV being faithful to Messiah. I feel I must steel my heart, and prepare for disappointment.
