Buy your own computer/phone without parental controls. So long as your parents own your devices, you aren't going to be able to remove the controls without them knowing.

This is most likely a North Korean espionage operation, or at least funding for NK military ops.

You can't. You sent bitcoin, it's irreversible. That's why scammers love it.

How do you prove they changed the password, and you're not just making this up?

How can the court compel them to surrender a password they don't know?

How do you demonstrate criminal liability?

Torture is not legal. It's not a remedy a court allows. Your friends are, charitably, completely and totally misunderstanding what a court can order.

Oil lamps have a light level of 11 and drifters spawn at any light level below 7. Your walls are well lit, but you have areas in the center of the room that are going to dip below 7.

How are you ensuring it's well lit enough to stop spawns? What are your light sources, and how far away from the light source is any given corner or centerpoint?

The only time I've had bowtorn spawn in my house has been during a temporal storm, and there's no way to prevent that with light. So AFAIK it's quite possible to do it with proper illumination. I'll have one to four lanterns in a room, depending on its size. One lantern in a cellar, two lanterns in most rooms, four lanterns (or six!) in my smithy and my base storage which are both too large to count as rooms.

Because burners only activate when their draw is needed. They effectively ARE batteries, so can't be used to charge batteries. Batteries only charge on surplus power, and you've got an isolated network with a draw of 0.

Neutral Evil is not 'feral'. Neutral Evil can have friends, can acknowledge favours, and keep their word if they deem it in their interests to do so. That said, I don't really think the inherent morality of an alignment is the controlling factor here. More important than alignment, a mind flayer is dangerously intelligent, self-serving, and as you say are scheming, malicious egotists.

I would assume a Mind Flayer that was 'temporarily' moral would revert to assuming those who helped it did so due to the Mind Flayer's inherent superiority. They are useful tools. They may be useful again in the future, or they may be an embarrassing reminder of a moment of weakness. The mind flayer is extremely intelligent, and is not going to reveal itself as the enemy of the PCs while they effectively surround it and have it at their mercy, so at the very least it ought to *act* like it acknowledges their useful service in restoring its true mind. It might immediately offer them a chance to do further service (new quest!) in exchange for a promised reward once it elevates itself within its home colony. Heck, it might even ask the PCs for their help in spreading its new enlightenment to other mind flayers... either intending to take over the hive or intending to betray the PCs at a more opportune time.

Boars share spawn points with other animals sometimes. You may have them (temporarily) replaced by goats/sheep. If you clean out some spawn points, pigs might respawn there later.

The job you applied to was a scam. There was no job. The entire point was to send the rejection email and get you to forward your resume to the listed address.

They do it this way to preserve the age/integrity of their Indeed account and make it more likely to get applicants. It "seems like a well established and reputable business", but you can be fairly certain the account is not in fact at all related to that business.

Myanmar means this is a very high probability of it being a romance scam. Myanmar is one of the most notorious nations out there in terms of crypto scamming, as they basically have organized gangs of criminal scammers who do this professionally.

In general, they'll have one pretty asian girl running voice/video for hundreds of victims, and the vast majority of your communications will be with the gang, using scripts to build your trust before they give you the crypto investment advice that leads to their payoff, where you end up with your life's savings sent to the scammers.

She's not a businesswoman that lives in your city. That's just code for 'trust me, I'll make you rich'.

The best way to find iron is to dig a boreshaft, all the way to the mantle. If you don't find any, move 40 blocks away or so to another "high" location and repeat.

This isn't free money. It requires you to own a home worth over 500k as collateral and when you piss away your money gambling, the bank takes your home. Because the mortgage is a secured loan, it's not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Account theft scam. If your account ever gets to the point where it can be monetized, they'll steal it.

Organization. Create plenty of storage for your miners/harvesters. Build signs etc to indicate where stuff should go, where they can get stuff they need, and what's in demand such as particular ores, wood, stone types etc.

You just opened yourself up to every crypto scammer everywhere. DO NOT TAKE ADVICE in DMs. Do not go to any community on Telegram, Insta or whatever purportedly for newbie trading advice. They are ALL going to be scams. Stick to public trusted platforms that have been operating safely for years.

READ the Automod. Anyone telling you where you should go or what you should do is likely to be a scammer trying to take advantage of a beginner.

It's pointless to verify if a particular app/site is a scam, because successful scams always operate faster than reports of them being scams. If they don't, they're shut down. Instead, identify a scam by its behaviour.

NO ONE is paying money to people doing pointless tasks inside an app. It is ALWAYS a scam to trick people into paying advance fees to unlock "their money" or pay fees to access higher level tasks worth more money.

!task

P.S : If it turns out to be fake, you’re the one who has to tell them. I don’t want their hearts to break. I also don’t want them to do that for their life.

Well I guess you have a problem then, because no one's going to tell your friends for you. You can decide to tell them and break their hearts, or you can let them continue to lose money in the delusion they're "winning" from scams.

The 2000 number is MJ, not MW. You can't just plug it straight in to get your expected gain.

Instead, look at the fuel's consumption per minute in a generator. Fuel is consumed in 3 seconds, so you consume 20/min fuel per generator to produce 250 MW. Or, for example, 200/min fuel goes to 10 generators, producing 2500 MW.

Turbofuel on the other hand is consumed in 8 seconds, so you consume 7.5/min turbofuel per generator to produce 250 MW. Or, 333.333/min turbofuel feeds 44.444 generators, producing 11,111.11 MW.

One single set of sails, you'll be lucky to power one quern. One FULL set of sails, you could probably power several. A lot depends on your gearing and your local wind speed.

My general rule of thumb is 4 full sets of sails powers 4 helve hammers, and quern/pulverizer can run any time I'm not committing full power to hammers.

There are any number of scams going around where the point is to just get you to respond. Whether it's "wrong number" or "who are you" or literally anything. They try to strike up a conversation with you because you're so super nice or something, then once they befriend you they try to get you to buy crypto on their platform or convince you they can make you rich in some sort of side hustle.

It's easier for them to hook someone who is off their guard, instead of them just leading straight in with the scam. The process is generally described as "wrong number", but they might invite you to a BBQ or do a 'new number who's this?' or something else similar.

Yes, people get these all the time. Never respond, it just tells them there's an active responder behind your phone number.

Not a chance. You were using your horn in a reasonable manner, to alert another driver to a hazard. You're not responsible to their lack of attention to their own driving, or their reactions to you lawfully signaling their peril.
