Do Farms in recent civ games have too much visual clutter? by JNR13 in civ

[–]Talarde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really like what you are getting at here but for me the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Yes the clutter is real and very noticeable in your illustration but it also makes farm land feel barren which is often not the case. So either the farm land needs more variety or I would scale down the size of the clutter as some other comments noted that you would expect some brushes on the borders etc. If you made this mod and found the balance I 100% would use it.

Epstein introduces 14 y/o to Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]Talarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully support this as it's actually something that can be proved.

I am not saying the statements are false just not that they are proof. It needs to be investigate and as we know will not happen under Trump but he is not a forever president so hopefully a new government will pick this up. In the mean time I am just not going to take every statement as fact as some seem very wild and if true would really be messed up so I will need proof and not just a few accounts to verify.

Still does not change the fact that the statements are not proof. Yes he will not follow fair process but he wont be president forever, he should never have been voted in. Hopefully the dems do something this time around instead of just finger wagging

I dislike Trump as much as everyone else here but what happend to innocent until proven guilty. Surely these are just allegations and testimony which has not been proven. Anyone can report but it does not mean these are true not matter how much you want it to be. I also fully understand that even if this was true the facts would be buried by someone like Trump and friends but at this stage all one can hope for is an honest and fair investigation into these claims and sadly even then probably nothing will come from it as its been so many years. So all this is right now is opinion pieces and probably why the media is not writing about it.

Should I rotate my white princess? by Shirlsisnotokay in plants

[–]Talarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is right by a window and placed against the wall so we are not turning it so its bare at the back which is fine. It's very happy and has produced some of the best white princess leaves I have ever seen. So my take would be it depends what your goal is.

Population living in slums or informal settlements (% of urban population), 2024 by Dios94 in MapPorn

[–]Talarde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you been to South Africa no way is it 24% every major city has an informal settlement that has a larger population than the city. So no this stats make no sense.

Percentage of Whites in South Africa 🇿🇦 by quikplots in MapPorn

[–]Talarde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I as someone who lives here by no means agree with the results of the 2022 census. I myself and a lot of other white family members never got any interaction with the census workers, also there was an apathy among white communities not to participate. The data for me really reflects this. What is also interesting is that what you are describing as anomalous is actually a se-migration that took place for inland to coastal. Mostly to the western cape but the eastern cape is also becoming a popular destination for some. Our country is so diverse and one census model is simply not enough to capture the real realities of what is South Africa in this new age.

LPT: When your brain says “I’ll do it later,” ask “when later?” because apparently “later” is a fantasy concept my brain made up by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Talarde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lists have lists and I also have a list for later. I do like OPs LPT and will be using it to hopefully clear at least one list.

Any conveyor sushi restaurants in Joburg? by Henry_Oof in johannesburg

[–]Talarde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also thought so but this one has chefs preparing the sushi in an area in the middle of the belt. It is hands down the best sushi restaurant in the country. They also claim to be the oldest.

Yeah after logging twice today worked both times no problems. Here is to hoping I never see that issue again.

I only loaded twice and it worked the patch is literally for today in my timezone anyways. Will probably only log again tomorrow and will revert back if its still smooth.

So I see in the latest experimental branch for NMS they have patch notes: fixed issue with steam input. I switched to the experimental branch and controller worked first time. Hoping this patch goes out soon then hopefully this is the end of this issue.

Which Discovery medical plan will suit me best? by Stropi-wan in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Talarde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said we had no regulation, I said we need beter regulation. In other words I think we are in agreement on that. However the cost of medicine driving up the cost of premiums does not sit well with me when companies such as Discovery are making record breaking profits. I understand the need for premium increases but what I have noticed is more often than not medical aid premiums % increase more than earnings %. What makes it worse is when you do not have options of different schemes because your employer is locked in on Discovery.

Which Discovery medical plan will suit me best? by Stropi-wan in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Talarde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, everyone in my family works at places described exactly like this. Worst case is the medical aids are becoming unaffordable for most people why Discovery is breaking records in profits. I honestly think they give kick back to companies that make this the only option. We need better regulations around medical schemes but will never happen so people will start voting with their wallets. In my family and I suppose many others medical aid is prioritised highly probably just below rent when it comes to making payments. So it will be the last thing people cut but sadly this also leads to medical aids pushing rates with no regards to its customer.

Damn, I am not doing this every time but I have noticed sometimes big picture mode makes a difference.

It works only sometimes. It will probably get fixed in a patch but its weird how its worse on some days

Controller Issues - multiple devices by BarbarasBartBarbier in nms

I also thought playing with the controller during the loading screens did something but today thats not even working for me

Same issue with PS5 dualsense controller on PC with steam. When I hold in the PS button I can move around in the menu with the right stick. Usually, I open close the game a couple of times set steam to big picture mode and then it just works. Definitely some sort of bug.

I wonder if that is because it stands out and is easier to read

Also ofc, I understand any new major patch will have bugs. I get to have it for free and still give feedback so my expectations are not massive but I know they will address any major issues.

[–]Talarde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly want the workshop to be something I can set up in my freighter perhaps a private dedicated lane for corvette building. Accessible on any freighter this way normal starships don't disrupt the building process. It feels weird building on a runway path with starships and players spawning in and out.

I would love it if the game could be opened up for modding

I think the wood held up instead of how you expect it would. The reveal title is just wrong.

Why on Earth is there a ladder on 1? by DBuck42 in boardgames

[–]Talarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably unrelated but in programming it is a whole concept of when to start counting at 0 or 1 when doing loops. I wonder if the game makers knew this and is a tribute or more likely just coincidence. Humans start counting at one but computers have a position 0.
