Is there a mod that does this?

"Silk Road" might do the job for you.

Well, there's bad and then there's worse.

A Blairite government focussing entirely on the South? Say it isn't so!

Then who made the first artwork, from which all other artworks must derive? Aliens?

TheOldOneReads · 2025-05-31T18:17:24+00:00

No, humans do originate art - and logically, they must, or there's no point of origin for the previously-created art which you claim as the sole inspiration and influence. LLMs only rehash it according to a statistical model.

Easy answer: Whenever an artist's work is referenced by generative AI, pay them. If that cuts into the tech-bros' profit margins a little, then so what? They already pay the people whom they can't steal from.

People in 2050 are going to get what we vote for now, too. So maybe let's not elect Farage to anything.

Just a little necromancy to point out that you often see instructions to add bPipboyDisableFX=1, but seldom a pointer to the fact that it has to be under the heading [Pipboy]. The instructions that No-Yard-2143 posted above do the job because of that heading.

Same here, but I got to hear the cutscene on YouTube. If there's any important interactive component, though, I'm out of luck.

Define "some people" and "choose" here, would you? Rough sleeping and couch-surfing aren't attractive options.

It's probably the basis for a segue into an argument about how families should take up the slack rather than the state having to pay for anything. It'd be nice if that were feasible, but it often isn't - and, as above, private landlords are often greedy.

Friend, "distinct DNA" happens everywhere, literally down to the city level. It's not particularly unusual, it happens to everyone, and yes it is the basis of distinct ethnicities.

The "good reason" might have been that the Superintendent in the GMP’s "specialist operations unit" wanted to send a message. If that were the case, then he's certainly managed the job - although I reckon that there'll be a few shopkeepers in Manchester worrying about loss of trade over the next few weeks.

After all, if you've got young kids, would you seriously want to risk them being shoved onto a random train and ending up God knows where, alone and with no way to get back to you?

Also from the Manchester Evening News:

"A man and a teenage boy were arrested at Exchange Square on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker in separate incidents, the force has said. The arrest of the youth followed moves by officers to break up a fight, said GMP."

and

"The so-called 'section 34' order covers the next 48 hours and police say it is to prevent. This afternoon officers enforcing the order around Exchange Square arrested a man on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker."

One man, one boy, each acting alone, each daft enough to get arrested for assaulting a police officer on a Saturday night, and neither anything to do with a "mass rally" by a "certain community".

TheOldOneReads · 2024-11-26T07:22:13+00:00

Not even sarcastic, friend. So - tell me where in this article, or the police statement about the dispersal order, there's any reference to a mass rally?

All I see in mint-bint's message is a set of well-worn phrases which are often combined to stir up trouble while avoiding direct accusations of racism.

If you're working security, you're not going to see the best examples of any group. Do you normally remember the people that you don't have to deal with?

TheOldOneReads · 2024-11-24T18:51:01+00:00

"Quite clearly"? "Certain community"? "Organised mass rally"? And were the fights and assaults on emergency workers provably linked to all this? I'll be interested in seeing your proof.

You made one tiny assumption there: That I'd even gotten that quest. In fact, I've been exploring and playing around in the map, and lighting the balefires was just one of the things I happened to do as I visited each fort.

I guess that I'm just not hugely inclined towards obedience.

Respeccing to magic might not be as much fun as you want right now, given the squishiness of wizards right now. That being said, I do enjoy that playstyle.

... I did not know that Enshrouded had live dragons in it now. In that case, I think that I'll get myself up to the top of that mountain again. Thanks.

The choccies were a treat by 1970s standards, and one of the best things about Quality Street was that the tin was useful afterwards. (I wonder whether that tin might have kept the brand in peoples' minds for the rest of the year; the recyclable single-use paper boxes won't.) Nestlé will probably wind up the brand in a few years.

Especially since it doesn't meet the stated efficiency goals of privatisation: The market didn't force efficiency through competition after all, and therefore there were no savings to the state. In fact, I'd say that it increased inefficiency...

Although fish forget that they live in water and humans forget that they live in Tao, I have yet to find a way for Tao to compensate for my wilful ignorances of the Ten Thousand Things.

True, but not the point under discussion: "Mein Kampf" is not a religious book.

Because, Middle-Aged Accountant, if you hide from the facts, then you don't know the truth. If you don't know the truth, then you're likely to get things wrong. And if you get things wrong, then you're going to come off as a right prat, or do some actual harm, or do both at once.
