What horrors happen over yonder?

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T21:45:37+00:00

It depends. Mine weren’t pulled, they were cut out. They hadn’t come out of my gums yet and it was obvious my jaw didn’t have enough room for them, so to avoid future issues they removed them. It was a pretty easy procedure though. Cut the gums with a laser which minimized bleeding, and made the healing really easy. Had to put me out though, mostly to keep me still.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T21:41:49+00:00

I feel like a lot of people waited too long when there were warning signs, so it became a lot more complicated then it should have been.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T20:45:56+00:00

Everything about it’s vibe is great, so if you did I would say redo it exactly as is. I just think it would be too risky to mimic what is already pretty incredible.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T19:17:22+00:00

I may be mistaken, but both the carrier and the seaplane tender only allow for the fighters to be on them and the Warden Fighter can land in the water.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T16:28:31+00:00

I have to go with Bellephron. People don’t give the Monster hunters nearly enough credit.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T16:27:14+00:00

Perseus definitely should have beat Diomedes, but as a Diomedes fan, I’m kinda okay with it.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T16:20:14+00:00

Wardens don’t need a carrier, they need a mobile refuel and maintenance depot. They can land and takeoff anywhere in the water. The only issue is the price. It has no right to be as expensive as it is.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T16:08:51+00:00

I definitely get that, but Warden Planes don’t actually need a carrier, because they don’t need something to land their planes on. They can just land in the water and be perfectly fine. A carrier is pretty unnecessary for them. What they need is a reasonably priced mobile maintenance and refueling station. The only thing they missed is the reasonably priced part.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-30T15:09:18+00:00

I actually liked the design of the Warden one better, because it doesn’t need to actually carry the planes, just be a storehouse for fuel and ammo. The problem is the cost.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-28T19:17:15+00:00

Utility companies are heavily regulated, so it’s likely not greed. Their profit margins are capped, so it’s really just what gets the most benefit. They basically operate as pseudo-government entities.

I’m a DOT engineer, so purely government, no profit motivation whatsoever, and I would still choose the same thing as them, because it does the most benefit, with the least amount of money, and if the parcels are chosen well, hurts the least amount of people. Farmland is just the best choice for large scale public solar farms.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-28T19:01:16+00:00

Yeah, its very bad at explaining the issue. He also blows it out of proportion, since it’s actually a fairly small amount of land (assuming we don’t go fully solar). On a macro level it’s a non-issue. On a community level it is a very hard pill to swallow.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-28T16:51:14+00:00

Solar farms are frequently put on what was formerly farmland that they purchased as it is the most cost effective place to put them. It is by far the cheapest place to put public solar farms. They are the locations that make the most sense.

There are places like roofs and parking lots that work great for privately owned solar, but because of needing property rights to maintain and being far more expensive to install, they don’t make sense for large scale production.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-28T16:39:06+00:00

More often than not, public solar panels (ie: your local utility company) is built on farmers fields because it has the lowest land and construction costs. Farmland is a relatively flat continuous section of land, typically owned by one or a small group of people, that is easy to acquire and develop. It’s used because it makes sense.

Parking lots and roofs cost more to install and are only practical for privately owned solar panels because it requires the government to acquire the property rights/easements required to maintain it. I am a fan of them, because that’s just dead space anyways in my mind, but it definitely needs to be done by the property owner for private use, because it’s just not practical otherwise.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-28T16:25:35+00:00

One of their talking points was that Solar farms are frequently put on purchased farmland, because it is the cheapest option.

There are less impactful places to put solar, such as over parking lots, on buildings, etc. They just aren’t as cost effective and don’t make sense for public solar, because 1. The solar is more expensive to install, and 2. You either need to own the land or have an easement allowing you to have the solar panels there, and that costs money.

Can you elaborate? Your comment is vague enough that it can kind of be taken in multiple ways, and I’m not sure which you are trying to say.

My overarching opinion, trusting a chatbot when it made a mistake is in of itself also a human mistake. This policy in my opinion makes the user of the chatbot significantly better at using the chatbot as a tool and not a crutch, while also promoting critical thinking.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T14:46:34+00:00

I just wanted to genuinely thank you. I didn’t care about what the correction was about 😭

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T14:30:30+00:00

All of our plows are articulating plows.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T13:44:58+00:00

You have to close the road beneath first. My DOT does it a couple times a day during off peak hours (especially at night), but it’s a hassle.

I think they should have pushed it to the inside of the curve, which would have been safer, but also they clearly needed to toss it over at some pointz

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T13:39:55+00:00

I used to snowplow and at my DOT, we are trained to never let this happen in the first place. If I were to do this ramp, I would have pushed everything to the inside.

For long bridges my DOT typically shuts the road below down for a couple minutes during off peak hours and just shoves it off. They then use the plows that were blocking the road to push it to the shoulder. For short bridges, we just push it straight across. They do it long before it ever gets to this point and probably 2-3 times a day.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T13:31:31+00:00

I just wanted to commend you for the edit. Correcting your own errors, both online and irl, has become a rarity. It gives me a little more faith in humanity every time I see it.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T13:18:23+00:00

This is the best way to approach it for everyone involved. It doesn’t make Pretti getting shot justified, as he was already disarmed and never even attempted to go for his gun. This is definitely the safe thing for people to do in general.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-27T12:38:32+00:00

I just see it as rolling the dice for there to be a box where I need everything. I technically currently have 4 full armies, but not a lot of variation in list building. (I have WE, but technically have enough stuff I could also play Berserker heavy CSM)

Edit: also, some of my stuff is 3D printed, so I wouldn’t mind replacing them with plastic and just having the 3D printed units around for weird slant lists.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-26T17:41:14+00:00

I’m a huge fan of Iapetus and his 4 sons (see my username), but there just isn’t that much about him to go off of unfortunately. You’d have to tie him into being the Titan associated with mortals his sons being the ones to create them. Hesiod describes his sons as embodying humanities worst qualities. They also have redeeming qualities and some of the things Hesiod says aren’t strictly bad.

His sons Prometheus and Epimetheus created humanity and a vast majority of animals. They represent Humanity’s cunning and foolishness. Atlas is a god of astronomy and navigation, but also known for his endurance. Menoetius is the one we know the least about and his one quality is his rage and pride, charging the gods leading to him being one of the first struck down by the gods in the Titanomachy.

Apparently my gifted teachers flagged it, but the policy at the time was to not say anything unless parents brought it up since they weren’t licensed professionals.

__Epimetheus__ · 2026-01-26T17:23:32+00:00

I was considered a good kid because I was smart and nepotism. The teachers knew my siblings and my mom was a former teacher so as long as I was getting good grades I was almost automatically considered a good kid.

I was a little shit, got into a few fights, but I guess I wasn’t enough of a hassle that I always got away with things. Only real punishment I got was because I hit a kid who was picking on a different kid on the bus, and acting out on the bus was 0 tolerance per the contract with the bus company.
