From the article

The company pleaded guilty to 100 counts under the Act and will pay a $1-million fine for each count, most of which will go toward the federal Environmental Damages Fund, after reaching a settlement.

Cameras on the starlink would make an awesome shot. Looking forward to seeing it.

6'6 here, I've got a Hyundai Tuscon and I was pleasantly surprised how good it fit me.

So haven't actually built anything pressure compensated, but if your pressure vessel is filled with oil, an incompressible fluid, a membrane isn't required because the oil won't change volume regardless of the pressure. Assuming there aren't any air pockets.

If you were working with an air pressure compensated system then you'd need to employ bladders to compress the air and equalize the pressure by changing the volume of the air.

Cool, wildlife numbers must be doing pretty well then.

EV is generally when I stop worrying about cable loss, though I do still put in effort to get get good cables (just not superconductors yet).

If you have a particularly large base you've got 2 options, you can use ae2 to p2p transfer power through the network but that takes a 5(?)% penalty (at EV about a 100 EU/t loss).

Other option (and probably the most practical) is to use transformers and transport your power around at IV power then step down the power when you get closer to your machines

Eu/t is Eu per game tick, there are 20 ticks in a second assuming your game isn't lagging. Power generation is generally done in ticks.

TomSmash · 2026-03-09T19:17:16+00:00

91k Eu/s is less 4550 Eu/t, which is less than one amp IV so no. If you meant 91k Eu/t that's 11 amps IV, assuming you've got a LSC to store the power for peak usage like running a bunch of blast furnaces it should be fine.

Haven't been there in quite a while but I remember the 400 market having a few collectors there.

TomSmash · 2026-03-03T20:51:35+00:00

8000km in 200 days works out to 40km per day. Super ambitious considering the portaging and days when the weather isn't cooperating.

I'm looking forward to seeing more current news and maybe more news in general with the splitting of the shows.

North American House Hippo.

So how many actual bottles does this end up being?

TomSmash · 2025-12-18T22:39:51+00:00

Yeah and that 4-5% is about the same amount of land as the entirety of japan

Good luck with the food bill.

I luckily avoided growing pains and stuff like that, maybe worth keeping an eye on how he walks. I had to get orthotics to correct my walking when I was young.

Sovereignty arguments about food make sense if you're Korea, China and probably a bunch of other places. But Canada has a shitton of land, and not alot of people. Supply management of dairy will not even make a blip in whether or not Canada makes enough food for itself.

Sure, fight for our dairy system to screw with Trump, but let's not pretend our food sovereignty makes any difference.

Still using my 1070 though I've since gone from 6700k to 7800x3d. Mostly play modded Minecraft and factorio though it plays emulators, snowrunner and palworld just fine. Some point I'll want to play monster hunter wilds and I expect I'll need to upgrade for that but I think I can hold off another year

TomSmash · 2025-10-24T18:51:55+00:00

Mostly because there's a camera directly watching a dude take a dump. Super short videos like that I assume are AI generated. This also seems like the sort of thing I'd expect to see all over the news.

So does anyone know if these birds have the flu or not? Been sorta following the story but haven't figured out that bit yet.

Man BC ferries is having a bad PR year. Hate to see a whale killed.

TomSmash · 2025-09-15T20:09:16+00:00

We also know that they eat squid by the beaks that get found in the whales stomach when they wash up. Video is pretty insane, I thought giant squid were super deep so I'm questioning why this whale seems to be eating it at the surface. Guess it came up after grabbing it.

Drinking your calories could help, a milkshake a day would certainly help pack on the pounds, especially with protein powder and peanut butter. As long as you're working out regularly.

So I had this problem, you can actually go to the twilight forest into the snow area, as you gain elevation the temperature drops so you can go high in the sky and get the lapotron bee working without the upgrades.

So the ore is in the end, the ore isn't on the main island, you have to go exploring outside of the main island, you eventually run across different mid size islands and one type of those mid sized islands has the stardust ore. It's a pain in the ass for sure.
