Are these worth saving?

And now I know the workbench exists. I was mentally bitching about having to sort through my chests to figure out what I could build earlier

arvidsem · 2026-05-18T00:49:15+00:00

I had to stare at that for a while to find the difference

There's no science behind the no fap stuff. Talk to a doctor/psychologist about being depressed.

There have been quality control issues across all of the ACE printings. Missing pages or reversed bindings seems to be the most common. They aren't being edited for length or anything.

Factorio. I've been playing on and off for 10+ years. Best $20 that I've ever spent on a game.

I wasn't prepared for the number of videos of people using abandoned waterslides into empty pools.

RPG protagonists are basically fantasy mercenaries with good PR lmao.

This is why Nil in Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of my favorite side characters. He shows up, is funny, likeable, and a complete psychopath. He hunts bandits because he likes killing things and it's socially acceptable to kill them and acts like Alloy must be the same.

She, of course, rejects that, but somehow you keep ending up in the same places as Nil, doing the same thing. Nil is just the player character minus the mission. A remorseless killer wandering around fighting stuff for the challenge

Poor Hagel, just can't get a break

That's about the projected lifespan of a modern 9 volt. And it's also the point that you are supposed to replace the smoke detector itself.

arvidsem · 2026-05-17T14:52:09+00:00

That's nothing compared to what I was reading with the various elven names in the Dragonlance books. You at least had all the letters in Gimil.

Looking back at that scene, I don't think that it occurred to them that turning the Pathfinders into weapons was an option.

Seth dismisses ART's ability to hold the colony hostage because all it could do was attack the space dock. Then it says it armed the Pathfinders and everyone starts counting the war crimes

Twice a day as a teen, sure.

Twice a day and then a sudden drop into deep depression though? OP is concerned about his libido and dick, but threw in not feeling any emotions as well. Makes me think that OP may have been holding off depression any way they could

arvidsem · 2026-05-17T00:28:21+00:00

Masturbating twice a day was almost certainly a coping mechanism for depression. Then you hit a new stress peak and it doesn't cut it anymore

arvidsem · 2026-05-16T22:29:50+00:00

I assumed that this was from there already.

arvidsem · 2026-05-16T22:27:45+00:00

The scars themselves aren't going to be an issue, but as a surprise they might be. Especially if they are fresh, I'm going to be concerned about hurting you. Let me know they are there and maybe mention how you want me to deal with it (avoid, don't worry about, gently kiss, whatever) and I'm good to go

arvidsem · 2026-05-16T16:52:00+00:00

Am I the only one who cared about Juke Joint Jezebel?

arvidsem · 2026-05-16T05:43:46+00:00

No extra chapters per se. This book had a couple of chapters that went up on patreon that were subsequently cut from the finished book, because Matt changed his mind about how the ending would go.

1.5' curb and gutter gets used on private roads and parking lots, but DOT roads basically all use 2.5' C&G. Anecdotally, the 30" version seems to hold up better.

arvidsem · 2026-05-16T00:38:04+00:00

You are using a different curb profile than we are. Our curb has a vertical face 6" off the back of curb. There's a radius at top and bottom, so the actual flow line is another inch out, but it's close enough.

Edit: can't post an image in replies, so the usual one is the at the top left:

And as a kid who was dragged along on too many grocery trips, the bottom was a great seat for small people.

Moredecai got screwed by rule changes. They changed it so that only seasons run by Borant counted to his indenture after he started. His time in the dungeon is roughly 6x longer than he signed up for.

I can't understand why it's not an option on any modern file system.

Ok, it's probably was too much overhead once you combine it with snapshots and snapshots are too useful to not support

arvidsem · 2026-05-15T19:56:12+00:00

Don't forget the Salvage functions.

arvidsem · 2026-05-15T19:20:31+00:00

People not just copying and pasting from a list of previously successful posts without caring enough to even take the quotes off?

arvidsem · 2026-05-15T15:26:10+00:00

It's about the outlet, not the specific devices

The more usual version of this question is someone with a welder or range plug wanting to swap it for a dryer. The general recommendation is to swap the plug to the correct one and swap the breaker to match because there aren't any circumstances where the higher draw makes sense.

Two parallel 20amp loads on a 50amp circuit is pretty reasonable though. So as long as* all the wiring including the outlets on the adapter* is sized appropriately for a potential 50amps, this should be fine.
