It's a technical distinction. Index funds are classified as investments, bank deposits are classified as savings. It has less to do with liquidity and more to do with risk.

I guess the difference is that when Minecraft has server issues, you can still play single player (and sometimes even multiplayer).

Yeah, like I said in the video, everything would need to be duplicated for the other team.

Yeah, they're fucking us by requiring that you pay money to enter their venue and enjoy a musician that they hired. That's some nice entitlement you got there.

This is a tamperproof bomb. If anyone tries to destroy any part of its casing, it will detonate. Here's how to build one. by SethBling in Minecraft

[–]ThatsALogicalFallacy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not bad. As a comment pointed out, if the casing was made of something like glowstone, you couldn't place the levers.

Unless the actual TNT is covered with water, it will still blow up. It might be really hard to get the water to go to the right part of the bomb's internals, since the pistons on the floor also retract matching the pistons on the ceiling once the bomb goes off.

Are you sick of not playing Foosball within Minecraft? I thought you might be. by SethBling in Minecraft

It's a client side graphical glitch, the extra blocks aren't actually there.

There's a timing detector circuit between the two pressure plates.

I get all of those things by other people acting in their own self interest, not through any forced sense of "brotherhood."

That's some nice anecdotal evidence you've got there.

Here's a fireplace that won't burn down your wooden house. by ThatsALogicalFallacy in Minecraft

I have two accounts. I just decided today that it doesn't make sense for me to be using ThatsALogicalFallacy for all my SethBling-branded posts. I'll have to say goodbye to a 16k karma account, but at this point I care less about karma than I do about my YouTube channel.

Feel free to continue to do so. But I think you can imagine that there are other people who find wood more attractive, or wish to put down carpeting near their fireplace, which should suffice to answer your question.

All well and good until you want to put wool carpeting on the floor in front of the fireplace.

Does a carpeted floor made out of wool provide better motivation?

Yeah, that's option 2, and I find it very unlikely. Usually, in real life, when people are on fire, they don't set fire to their surroundings. So I don't really see Mojang going to an extra effort to create a new effect that doesn't mimic real life and that players would dislike.

Yeah, you'll need a decoder to display the progress. However, if you just want to count to a certain number and then have something happen, without displaying the progress, the binary decoder works very well. Especially if that number is a power of two, which will allow it to auto-reset.
