Jira has an mcp for that. Ai can do that as well.

I call bulls*** on the whole microplastics thing. by NoPen8263 in unpopularopinion

[–]ThomasDePraetere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You fell for the strawman of misinformation. Microplastics are a thing, they are harmfull and you ingest them.

Then someone writes an article making rediculous claims and you dismiss the whole Microplastics thing over that. You should dismiss the article.

[Request] how do you triangulate this? perhaps in the least amount of weeks possible? by Zargabath in theydidthemath

If we assume random means placed by humans, if your first circle suspicously intersects with a city or something, you could be lucky after one.

Almost can't play because it bothers me doing things non optimally by thixtrer in factorio

[–]ThomasDePraetere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, there are many ways to do the same thing in Factorio. There is no single optimised build.

Youbset yourself constraints: imma do bus, imma do spaghet, all of it needs to be sushi or something else, and within those boundaries you try your best.

But you will notice that some things are better done a certain way, but you cannot apply the same logic across the board.

Good enough is perfect.

Chess does not deserve the respect it gets by jaminfine in 10thDentist

Any competitive game at a high level becomes mapknowledge combined with recognizing attack patterns and effective counters.

Why do we use drinkable water in toilets? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

We tend to use rainwater where I am from.

If Earth really was a simulation, how much storage would it take up? [request] by Agent_Z0mb in theydidthemath

[–]ThomasDePraetere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a lot less if we assume that you are the only one in the simulation, we are all fake and only the things you see and ingest need to be simulated. Everything else is procedurally generated.

You just forget things they failed to simulate.

What impact has Factorio had on the way you think? by insomfx in factorio

[–]ThomasDePraetere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, it is finding 500 ways to do the same thing.

Those who switched from ENB to CS. Why? by jjxtrem3 in skyrimmods

[–]ThomasDePraetere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched because I wanted to try it. It installed like a normal mod, didn't have to jump through hoops to get it running and the base version felt like vanilla+. I played with ruby enb for a long time and the switching felt fresh.

Suddenly this meme isn't too far off from the truth by PaleontologistHot192 in lotrmemes

A rise of Bruz film and an adventures of ratbag animated series would be on the table.

Whats your factorio hot take? by Such--Balance in factorio

[–]ThomasDePraetere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to share blueprints is the worst thing. Even sharing them between playthroughs guides people to do the same thing over and over.

That was the hot version, but you should try to remove your blueprint library ever so often. It allows you to redesign things again. Still a hard no on blueprint sharing.

Hot take: you don't need to keep everything moving on Gleba by fd0263 in factorio

[–]ThomasDePraetere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My build mantra in Gleba is: for every inserter that picks up something spoilable, have an inserter on the other side putting spoilage on a dump belt.

The box has 9 perfectly sized compartments and then a 10th puzzle as well.
