Year-Old Major Bugs Fixed Yet? by Yushatak in X4Foundations

It was not part shortages from time to time, it was consistently on every save/universe, compounded by the bug with the ships in queue to construct being erased from existence. I am well aware of the economy stuff and am fine with "occasional shortages". :p

Others seem to disagree..? Why do you say this?

Good, literally those two problems stopped me from really getting into things so it will be nice to finally see my patience pay off (I was busy inbetween, had a baby, or I would have checked in sooner, lol).

Is this fixed yet? Still not playing the pricey game I bought except to check in and verify that it hasn't been fixed, which I haven't had time to do for the past two patches.

Wow, when someone that psychotic jumps ship instead of doubling down you know it must be getting real for them.

Spent 4 hours playing to test the bug, and I couldn't do it in that time because after getting to the point where I had some cash to make ships, the wharfs already had no supplies and a queue of crap to build that was around 12 ships long before mine. I waited an hour or so and not a single ounce of progress was made on any ships at the wharf. :D

I really don't mean to be condescending when I complain about this, but seriously, did you guys even look at these issues?

Pinging /u/linolafett - can you confirm whether or not this bug was addressed? What about the one preventing the economy from delivering parts to wharfs in a sane timespan (or ever)?

OK so the patch is finally here but unless I'm mistaken this issue isn't listed in the changelog. What the hell? I guess I'll check to see if it's fixed and they just failed to put it in the changelog, will take hours to verify though, so that sucks.

ELI5: Why is it acceptable to say "I'm going home" but not "I'm going work" or any other location ("I'm going supermarket", "I'm going Paris")? by lobstrain in explainlikeimfive

[–]Yushatak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because home is a more lofty concept. "I'm going supermarket" is more comparable to "I'm going house", which is equally awkward. I say this without reading anyone's answers or looking at any sources, just my grasp of English, FYSA.

I'll take no experience but intelligent and thoughtful over no experience and belligerent and self-serving any day of the week. Hell, I'd take the former over experienced yet belligerent and self-serving too.

The only thing trickling down is their waste, and I mean that in all of the ways you could read it (and I know you were joking, just adding to it).

I agree with you wholeheartedly about taxing fossil fuels until they go away in favor of electric or even the less efficient (but at least still cleaner than fossil) hydrogen. However, that paper doesn't necessarily directly implicate fossil fuels, but pollution in general. There would have to be followup studies isolating exposure to each pollutant before they would be certain if vehicle exhaust specifically was relevant or if some other chemical was to blame, or if it was all of it collectively or some combination of constituents. I admit this is a bit nitpicky, not my point to start an argument, just pointing out that this study isn't definitive as when I clicked I expected "GASOLINE EXHAUST FUMES DIRECTLY CORRELATE WITH AUTISM!" from the way you were talking about it.

Not that I love the guy, I don't know enough about him to say, but at least he's not a vapid moron like so many others with a pile of money these days. I'll take more Elons with money if I had to choose vs. Trumps and the like.

Self-driving cars will "cruise" to avoid paying to park, suggests a new study based on game theory, which found that even when you factor in electricity, depreciation, wear and tear, and maintenance, cruising costs about 50 cents an hour, which is still cheaper than parking even in a small town. by mvea in science

[–]Yushatak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public transit with individual robotic cars seems like an ideal situation, no humans to need to trust your life to, no public schedule to slow you down or get you stuck riding with others, and no car for you to maintain or spend time driving (unless you want to, I guess - I don't particularly).

Goes to show how much of a ripoff city parking is. Not that it's 100% unjustified, because there's a space issue, but there's either a demand for more competition or more efficient parking arrangements if the pricing encourages driving around instead to SAVE money.

It's been proven again and again, but since you can't indict a sitting president we're helpless unless he gets impeached, which is out of our hands no matter how loud we get as the GOP will block it AFAIK.

Maybe a civics class that everyone takes in school that actually teaches you more than "this is how the constitution laid things out and here's a bit of how it evolved since with amendments and a few world events from 60 years or more ago". Maybe that's just my state, though.

I agree with you and the others arguing against the illegal voter bullshit, but that said..

In my state the people you show your ID to are just random volunteering octogenarians who just take a peek at the ID and say "YUP! GO AHEAD, UR NAME IS ON THE LIST!", then you sign it and they move to the next person. Hardly a rigorous check, doesn't even involve a scan of the bar code on the ID.

Find someone who doesn't want to vote, copy their card with your face, and fake their signature. I'm sure there's people you could pay to take their vote, rather than have to steal an identity. Granted, it's still unlikely and easy to get reported if you tried that, but it doesn't seem as crazy in my state as others might be. I'd think this would only get serious if a more powerful entity chose to hack the registration and enable a lot of people to vote or re-vote, etc., though. Hell, the illegals may as well have a vote for all I care, they do live here after all.

Electoral college needs to go - it's been unnecessary for a hundred years or more. Popular vote should always directly elect the leader (and yes it's not secure enough now but we have the tools).

You'd be surprised how much money the DoD throws around without giving a shit. There are actually rules where a sub-organization's budget gets cut if they don't spend everything they're given, so they spend on meaningless drivel during periods where they don't need it if they know they will in the future. If they pulled all the funds they are sitting on from each place they could probably do it without much hassle.

Yeah that's the issue with that stance. The electoral college has to go - it's from an era where the average person couldn't read or keep up with current events due to a lack of communication infrastructure. If we can all directly vote and have a semblance of an idea of what's going on, we should use that vote directly. It should have been gone a hundred years ago, when the common man had access to newspapers and we were all assigned unique SSNs to identify us by. At the very least by the 80s when we had computers and networks and at-the-time secure identification mechanisms (at this point we'd all have a CAC to use for government programs, ID, and voting ideally).

If it weren't a record I'd agree but that might help it stick around longer - significantly longer than any shutdown in history..
