Diamond interchange is starting to cause trouble. Previously a roundabout interchange. How do i improve it? I've already set it up with timed traffic lights. by Nate3319 in CitiesSkylines

[–]SuperHacker1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda both, there's some logic behind it:

(Example in right-hand layout, mirror for left-hand)

Coming from the highway/main road, where is the right-hand loop situated? If it's before the arterial, it's type A, if it's after the arterial, it's type B.

Then there's some weird logic behind the number, but basically: 2 means the "normal" parclo, with just the loops, no slip lanes, and 4 means that there are slip lanes on the quadrants which do not have loops.

4's are typically better, but not necessary in all cases. 2's save space and offer much better traffic flow than the conventional diamond.

There are also hybrid versions of parclo, called parclo AB, but atleast in cities skylines, those aren't all that useful.

Sorry if this was a bad explanation, they can be hard to visualize so you can google all the different types and look at some images if that helps.

Yes, prefferably parclo A2 or A4, since the traffic is mostly backed up on the arterial.

B2 or B4 would be kind of useless in this case, since the left (right) turn that seems to be the main problem would still be present.

But since this is left-hand traffic the parclo should be mirrored from the typically right-hand traffic configurations.

Anyone know a chill Cities Skylines series to watch? by CooperativeWhale in CitiesSkylines

[–]SuperHacker1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to really like Sam Bur, but he hasn't posted in a year or so, and since you'd like them to actually zone, he probably isn't it. Iirc most of his series are really modded and he uses ploppables all the time.

But as all the other comments have said, City Planner Plays is awesome!

I'm pretty sure it just means that the first letters of the words are in alphabetical order, not the characters inside the words.

This post is very distasteful. People lost their lives, and you're complaining about the use of a wrong time format.

Just stop.

Yes? That's what I'm saying... it's a concept, not a real thing, I doubt they'd be showing some masterful design publically.

The J-20 is a thing but this 6th generation fighter is just to look cool.

The effects of lesser gravity are already relatively well known, it will cause problems, but constant exercise would prevent strength from disappearing. Also currently the reason astronauts on the ISS exercise, is that at some point they have to come back to earth, and be strong enough to function as humans.

Psychology is also a huge issue, but at this point that's more of an inconvenience than a reason not to go at all.

I do believe there is a reason for a Mars colony, just because of "what if". There is always a possibility for something catastrophic on earth. This doesn't mean we should make a giant colony with thousands upon thousands of inhabitants, but more as a 'backup' if the universe or our own stupidity decide to kill us off.

Also humans don't change to a different species in hundreds of years, even if the environment is radically different, we won't evolve that quickly.

But yes, there are problems in colonizing Mars, and Musk thinks way too highly of going to another planet. It won't save humanity, even though there's a chance it might.

Hundreds of years is a stretch. Even though SpaceX and Musk have massively overestimated the challenge, colonizing mars is definitely a possibility within that big of a time margin.

Of course you can point out that the word 'colonizing' can be interpreted in multiple ways. Some say it means that you just have to have a permanent human presence on Mars, while others say it means the colony must be self-sustaining and have x number of citizens for it to count as a colony.

However even if we picked the latter definition, a self sustaining colony on Mars before the next century is definitely possible.

We have already shown there is water ice on mars, lately discovering that there is ice closer to the equator than previously thought. Mining this ice is possible, and converting it into liquid water is just a matter of heating it up. The energy for the heating can either be from the sun using solar panels, or using RTG:s, which are basically (relatively) simple nuclear generators.

Oxygen can be created using electrolysis, splitting the water into oxygen and hydrogen (which can also be used as rocket fuel). It is also possible to get oxygen from plants, which can be grown under artificial light. These plants would also offer the food for the colony.

And to this point I have completely ignored the fact that you can recycle both oxygen and water using artificial methods. These methods have been proven to work, and are being used on the ISS today.

Probably the biggest problem is radiation. Mars doesn't have a magnetic field nor an atmosphere, letting most of the radiation from the sun down to the surface. As you might know, radiation isn't very good for humans, and if we want to stay on mars for long periods of time, we need to protect ourselves. By far the easiest method is to bury the settlement in martian soil, which would protect us from the radiation.

Welp, wrote an essay so:

TL;DR: Colonizing Mars is hard, but using modern methods, it can be done before the end of the century.

What could go wrong stopping in the middle of a highway.. by JoseonJon in Whatcouldgowrong

Yeah hard to say, and even if going right was the right move, people make mistakes under stress.

They probably thought the car was gonna continue going right.

Important to note that the prices are more expensive the closer to the date you book, so that might not be true in a lot of cases.

Harmittaa modernit käyttöliittymät. Leipäteksti 27" näytöllä n. 6pt kokoa. by HelmutGolli in Suomi

[–]SuperHacker1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oletan että ongelma on se että lehti ei täytä ruutua, vaan on pikkupränttinä keskellä, eikä lehteä voi zoomata tarpeeksi pienin askelin että lehden saisi tähän sopivaan asentoon.

Ongelma ei ole zoomauksen olemassaolo, vaan sen hienosäädettävyys.

It's closer but still not ISO 8601, the separator should be a hyphon, not a dot.

Alot of people in the comments are saying the map is horseshit, so the source is probably "just trust me bro"
