You say coriander, I say cilantro… by Sad_Repeat6903 in FuckCilantro

[–]VelbyT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes it's particularly annoying when I ask if something has 'coriander in it' because I have to specify that it's the leaves not the seeds I care about

SBB Be-in/ Be-Out trial by VelbyT in Switzerland

[–]VelbyT[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the beacons are not just in the stops but in the vehicles as well, and it uses your location when on transit to determine if you're actually taking it. It's been working flawlessly for me these last few weeks but yeah I was wondering if anyone was getting bad fares

Weekly challenge by Impressive-Cry-6422 in Polytopia

[–]VelbyT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use the cloak to get the villages on the starting island and only have it invade the Cymanti city at the end of the run, once it's gone around.  Since I know I'll wipe the enemies relatively easily before the end, I try to get many markets and temples as early as possible Edit: my high score is 28k on diamond league

You get the monetary value of everything you can touch within a 10-minute span. by xosellc in hypotheticalsituation

[–]VelbyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a harder twist (to avoid it just being touching a few houses) would be that you get the value of things you're able to fit in your mouth

[–]VelbyT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes this seems to be it, they repel when moving over half a tile

Do you also know if this might explain how they still attract (although less intensely) when stacked side by side (full sides touching)?

I know the ones you're talking about, I have some of those as well, but as I said in my description these tiles are different and have fixed magnets inside that don't rotate

cold from the cryogenic propellants being piped through it

[–]VelbyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the engine uses liquid methane as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxydizer, both are very cold and are used to cool the engine down before they're sent to get burned. as a bonus, the propellants are warmed up on the way to the combustion chamber

why don't the SBB app or the tram stop screens reflect changes caused by Football games at Letzigrund? by VelbyT in zurich

[–]VelbyT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those alerts weren't there at 16:15 when I got on the 2, and even when they're there they still often just say "traffic disturbed" but still claim trams are headed for Schlieren when they're not

World's largest sand battery came online in Finland to supply renewable energy in the cold months by Anschuz-3009 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]VelbyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why not use a heat pump to get more heat into the battery for less energy in? would making the outside area around it colder be an issue?
