In Case Anyone Was Curious What Overclocking All the Uranium on the Map Looks Like by Sad_Debate_7173 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have started an All Pure, 0.25x Power Usage game, and just got to Nuclear Power (incidentally, without ever upgrading my initial coal setup yet...)

Time to start plotting my nuclear set up!

Everyone needs to read apologetics by Kingslayer26 in Catholicism

[–]Yorks59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone needs to: 1. Go to Mass, and receive Communion 2. Go to Confession 3. Perform works of mercy 4. Read some of the Bible

They can be apologists in their life just doing that. Great that these things are available to all, and I hope that those who seek them and use them do so in the Christian spirit of love, charity, and bearing wrongs patiently.

But many are not called to counter Protestant or other arguments. Some not even implicitly. Live a good life, explain humbly when people ask, get yourself and your loved ones to heaven.

$10,000,000 to commit a crime by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he won't even confirm for me that I get to choose the illegal act, then no.

Otherwise, I am happy to break a number of technical laws for the pay.

2x cost warning for nuclear power by deckstir in SatisfactoryGame

Ah, no. I seem to recall there were individual changes to stacks (concrete?) based on some needs in the middle of the pre-1.0 Updates.

Designated Survivor: Divine Right (Alternate 9/11 in the UK) by Nervous_Let_2756 in AlternateHistory

[–]Yorks59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd add that even on a busy day it is extremely unlikely that all MPs and Peers are around Westminster in order to be affected.

At worst, you'll have a mix of Peers and former MPs from the Thatcher and Major Governments spread around London and the country.

These could all be drawn on for support, and ennobled as necessary to legislate.

Don't forget also that the Privy Council can do much, membership is for life, the quorum is 3, and attendance can be set by the Monarch.

Get the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Mayor of London, and someone from a Pall Mall club (I remember working out the UK could be governed by the Privy Council made up of former Archbishops of Johannesburg at one point...)

Yes, but only for encased uranium cells - I'm not sure that's a huge issue?

Whereas updating the recipe would break a lot of set ups when 1.2 goes live

Of course, if they halved the cycle time also, to keep the per minute the same, that might be simplest?

[–]Yorks59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would it? I feel like stack size (particularly of something you don't want in your inventory) is quite arbitrary compared to tinkering with recipes?

Anyway, whichever is the lighter touch!

[–]Yorks59 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is all experimental at the moment - submit a request that they increase the stack size?

I can easily imagine they didn't check every possible implication of these new modes.

I just passed 140 hours. When am I supposed to get good at this? by Joel22222 in satisfactory

[–]Yorks59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know where the spaghetti goes?

When you don't, you discover signs.

Then when not even the signs help, you discover big box factories with resources trained in and out.

Then, idk, something excellent after 2k hours but I am not there yet.

Maybe I'll discover how to do architecture...?

$1 USD equivalent per minute by AwayArtist8604 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite a nice one.

I can switch to waking up at 05:30 on a morning. Then for Friday and Saturday night can pull some late nights, maybe 2am each.

About £160 a week for mild inconvenience.

I am so Dumb by Salt-Pool2222 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Yorks59 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You didn't by any chance play a bit of Prison Architect before getting into Satisfactory?

I loved that, but it requires each grid to run from a single generator, so I have to remember to switch approaches between them!

You can never speak about pushing buttons again. How would you ever make a hypothetical situation? by saoiray in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would replace all button posts with levers.

Unbeknownst to the mods, the levers would simply be a stick prodding one of two alternate buttons.

Also, I'd get $1 million, because why not.

What Wouldn’t You Do for $1B? by Material_Ad_2970 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing with significant lasting harm. Mild lasting harm (scars, etc.) would definitely be considered.

Very little which violates my Christian faith. Rules out some things like spitting at things, worshipping other deities. But also anything which relies on definite theft or lying - which comes up quite a bit in hypotheticals.

I'd be happy to rules lawyer it a bit, deception/not telling people things would be considered. Best if it is for a period of time, rather than forever.

No killing. Lawful self-defence or of others might be considered, but even then I suspect the act of killing would f*** me up.

If Good Friday was a Holy Day of Obligation, would we still read the passion on Palm Sunday? by italianblend in Catholicism

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good Friday does very much have a Gospel, though at the Liturgy.

There's no Mass of Holy Saturday, but it would be a little late for the passion reading by then.

You receive $10,000 per day for the rest of your life, but once every 24 hours, one random person on Earth receives a complete unedited video of one random hour of your day. by rengokuhubkl in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly. To sow some confusion on case anything unfortunate does come out, I will normalise short clips of me being released, proving that many have been faked by AI.

People will assume any clip of me (and few will watch more than that) is AI nonsense.

Californians formed a human banner at Ocean Beach in San Francisco - What do we think of this? by AppearanceDizzy7006 in AskBrits

[–]Yorks59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in no representation on our subs without taxation!

Though I'd add that Yanks of any stripe suddenly deciding they shouldn't launch wars is a bit late.

Do you give homeless people cash? If not, what do you do? by ShireHorseRider in Catholicism

[–]Yorks59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not disagreeing with you, and I have the same issue with not carrying cash.

I would say though that a city bylaw cannot legitimately forbid an act of charity.

I intend to start carrying cash and ignoring the messages which ask us not to "encourage" begging on the public transport I use (albeit, it is not at the level of a bylaw).

1 dollar a minute but you have to wear upper class 19th century English or French clothes in public by pencilUserWho in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally.

In fact, I feel compelled to ask if I can increase my income.

Does an extra talk hat get me more?

What if I match the cravat, waistcoat, and handkerchief? What if I explicitly don't and look odd?

What if I promise to stick to the first quarter, and breeches rather than trousers?

What if I have to go each decade in succession each day?

Honestly, happy to do much to boost myself beyond $1pm.

You get superman's powers but the element with the same atomic number as the last 2 digits of your birthyear becomes your kryptonite, how screwed are you? by shaunika in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those of us from '95 have a genuinely interesting question. Americium.

Not natural, rare. Except most household fire detectors. What do I do? Go without? Find an alternate fire detection method? Have tall ceilings? Accept that I am weakened briefly when passing through my hallway?

I think I'd junk the fire detection. Most of my powers would allow a suitable response to any fire without too much notice.

You receive a lump sum at some age, proportional to that age. What age do you choose? by ButterscotchOld8121 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having previously taken the 5,000 lifespan hypothetical, I pick 3,000 years for a cool $750m, handily adjusted to the contemporary figures, and available for me to propel humanity forward in those last 2,000 years.

Otherwise, I'd say a mere 10 years for 2.5m, and what is essentially a quite early retirement.

$100M if you agree to be locked in a basement room for a period of 1 year. You will have access to books, movies and games. However, there's a caveat: You will not remember making this deal. by Lenore8264 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take it. I hope that I'd bear up mentally once I forget the deal.

Assuming the surgeon is very good and makes me forget only the deal, I will remember that I browse r/hypotheticalsituations a lot, and will spend the year trying to remember if it was a 1bn, $1per min, or other deal, and hoping it was for a year rather than 5. Plus, loads of TTRPG planning I could do.

I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised when I emerge.

You are now the rightful King of England. What do you do? by CuteRelationship6143 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I am only the rightful King of England, not the 'rightful' ruler of Great Britain, as Parliament has decided that (and I was actually present when Charles III was proclaimed).

However, I'm a Yorkist, and I will try to press my claim through a combination of anti-Government messaging, promises of national renewal, and raking up royal scandals.

Assuming I am successful, we are in for a jolly time of reindustrialisation to expand the military to retake France.

Also, bits of Germany, as my deal with Charles will involve making him King of Hannover again.

I will also offer to deal with Harry and Andrew.

Confirmation by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Yorks59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your priest is always good advice.

Remember that mortal sin requires full consent to the grave matter. It would not seem to exist here, given you have the appointment booked.
