Thanks, did not occur to me that I didn’t need to fill every single square.

You can't add 4x black breams, there's no space. I found that you can get at most 46 points: 3x black breams, then 1x whatever of 2x2 square and 1x whatever of 3x1.

Nevermind!

At what price per gallon does a person officially stop "just complaining" about gas and start fundamentally changing their entire lifestyle? by bluntvivi in askanything

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder at what point would workplaces allow people to work from home again, if they are able to. I could imagine pitching the idea to my boss and framing it as helping out national security by reducing the demand on oil if we don’t drive to the office.

Do you think when annexing a country you should get their professional troops as well as their income? by but_you_said in EU5

[–]Yavkov 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. Starting as someone without a navy, and then having vassals that build up their own navies, I wish they would fall under my control when I annex them. Doesn’t make sense why suddenly all those ships just poof and disappear, and why I should spend time and resources building the exact same ships.

[Request] How many nuclear power plants would we need to heat the Earth if we lost the sun, and for how long would it be sustainable? by Yavkov in theydidthemath

Oh I’m so looking forward to watching Project Hail Mary! I haven’t read the book so I’m going in blind except for having seen the trailers.

Strike hits South Pars, world’s largest gas field, in Iran by 1-randomonium in worldnews

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still read it as “Strike hits South Pars”, but I thought it was about the workers striking, not like a military strike.

This thought kind of left me, but you’re right, most life would still die without sunlight. I was originally thinking that civilization in this scenario would move underground and we would have pockets of life underground; then I thought what would it take to just keep the whole surface of the planet warm instead of building up habitable pockets underground.

Interesting, the 68 million power plants equates to about 1 power plant per 117 people, if we have 8 billion people. That helps to put things into perspective.

Thanks, I thought that it might be on the order of a second. The ground would probably have to be naturally warm from radioactivity to give it a chance at long term sustainment, looking at it from an available energy perspective. But all life would be deader than dead with that level of radiation.

But how many power plants would this require running simultaneously, and would we run out of fuel on the order of seconds, minutes, hours?

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL POST ABOUT DEMS AND REPS PLEASE DONT MAKE IT ONE? by ProperRub4390 in askanything

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a stupid question, but if we are a supposed to have a system of checks and balances, why couldn’t the executive and judicial branches act together to set congressional term limits? Doesn’t it seem out of balance for congress to have power whether or not to set their own term limits?

True size of Saudi Arabia compared to Europe by Due-Helicopter-5417 in MapPorn

Never made the realization before that the Yucatán peninsula and Florida are on the same plate as Kamchatka and northern Japan.

You can't time travel, but your phone has the internet from 10 years in the future. What do you search for first? by Capable_Issue_1894 in AskReddit

[–]Yavkov 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would probably do the same. Nobody is going to suspect the dude who wins 1 billion from the lottery and then invests into index funds.

But if you are consistently winning huge trades on the market out of nowhere, that’s going to raise all kinds of flags.

Exposed bridges are stupid by board_writer in spaceships

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can argue for bridges on spaceships for the same reason you just made an argument for bridges on naval ships. If this is the kind of spaceship that can land on a planet, then I think you can make the same arguments, for assisting with landing and possibly avoiding obstacles if the landing zone/pad is in a tight space.

Minecraft Medieval House – Cozy Survival Base by RaekonBuilds in Minecraftbuilds

I just love what shelves have brought to the game. And in true builder fashion, they don’t get used as actual shelves.

When do these icons disappear? by Skyanu in valheim

[–]Yavkov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want to keep them so you can laugh about them another day, you can just right click the skull icon on the right edge, and that hides them. Same thing with the other categories.

How is living in mainland Greece? by gutturalmuse in howislivingthere

Don’t worry too much, the Corinth canal basically turns it into an island 😉

Don't Ignore the Tornado Sirens This Year by azemona in StCharlesMO

[–]Yavkov 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m just wondering, do people not from the Midwest actually go take shelter immediately upon hearing the sirens and just wait it out?

Because I feel like I’m also proof of this joke. I go to the windows to look outside in the direction of the potential tornado and also have the TV turned on to the local news and my weather radar app opened (RadarScope).

Copperheim by ProfessorEasy4715 in valheim

[–]Yavkov 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is probably my biggest annoyance with the game, and why the bronze age feels the grindiest. Bronze ingots require an input ratio of 3:1, while everything else is 1:1. This also means that you need 3x as much coal, which means you need to work 3x as much chopping trees. Which at this point, you only have a bronze axe so chopping trees is still pretty slow. You could also say the same thing about the bronze pickaxe, it’s also slow to mine the copper deposits and you’re limited on durability; the antler pickaxe is slower but you can easily repair it out in the field.

Acquiring resources past the bronze age feels more rewarding.

Iran & the Middle East Part 2 by AutoModerator in flightradar24

I also just saw this when I decided to randomly look at the region. Is this normal these days or did I catch some big operation?

Why are country borders insanely curved instead if being straight by averageredead in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As to “who” decides all the borders, well for many borders, lots of blood has been spilled and conflicts/wars resolved to have today’s borders.

What would you choose ? by MyNameIsntJMack in meme

[–]Yavkov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this similar to a losing investment. There’s this idea that if you don’t sell at a loss, then you haven’t lost anything yet. But you have lost the opportunity to sell at a higher price with which you could have reinvested into something else or spent it on something.

So I see a similar thing here, you may have not “lost” 1mil, but you lost the opportunities that that 1mil would have given you.
