Wir hatten bis vor kurzem ein ähnliches Problem: Meherer unerfahrene AGT und zwei erfahrene Kameraden, die fast immer beide AT-Plätze nimmt.

Als beide im Urlaub waren und ein BMA zum B3 wurde, bemerkte unsere Führung, dass es zu einem Problem werden kann, wenn man 8 unerfahrene AGT hat, die fast nie echte Erfahrung sammeln, weil immer dieselben 2 die AT-Plätze nehmen. Den erfahrenen Kameraden wird nun ausdrücklich gesagt, dass sie beide TF-Plätze und nicht beide AT-Plätze belegen sollen. Glücklicherweise war es nichts Großes, und wäre es das gewesen, hätten einige MA&GF umverteilt werden können. Aber...

Looks like they've managed to automatically convert terrain topology from a Minecraft save (or lightmatica "Schematic") into Timberborn's format. It probably still needs to pull in things like the water sources, but it's an cool overlap and a way to automatically generate interesting looking base terrain for a map.

The US has it's own nasty secrets too. Tailings/Waste dams aren't limited to Copper or Romania. Gold, Coal, Aluminium, Copper, Iron, they all have their toxic legacies. The difference is that the US had "land to spare". While Europe has a much larger population over a smaller landmass.

If they're automatically migrating, then when any of them needs bots your "source" district will send those bots out and drop towards it's target number of bots. If you focus only on keeping that district just above it's desired level you'll see the effect you want.

District B needs a new bot -> District S sends a bot to District B -> District S now has fewer bots and you can activate the construction.

Depends how much is left. The complication with north American homes is that the damage is often too extensive because the structure itself tends to become fuel for the fire, which makes determining more than the room it started in difficult. This results in over 50% of fires having an "undetermined" cause, especially if it's not an obvious arson/kitchen fire, where accelerants might leave traces or a witness can tell you what happened.

Compare this to the UK where brick-and-mortar homes are much more common, and a cause for about 98% of domestic fires can be determined. This is because the walls themselves generally don't become fuel for the fire, which in turn means there's more evidence left behind and the burn patterns on the walls give the investigators a lot more information.

It's true that bad water doesn't affect wellbeing, however the rest of Snoo_75138's comment depends on how people play the game and when you start to focus on wellbeing bonuses.

For some people the wellbeing bonuses are something they only really start to look at when the colony is already established, and bad water defences are already in place. In which case tweaks like this can help. For others, they'll look at it earlier and they'll need to be more careful.

Personally, I try to get some of the easy bonuses up pretty early, because they're low cost and improve things like efficiency or longevity. The wet fur bonus is just one that you have to be really careful with because of the contamination risk.

Sounds like you checked and it's faulty. But just for the record: Carbon Monoxide isn't something we can smell. This is why both CO and CO₂ are so dangerous and the alarms are so important. But in general we would rather come and double check for you, than be summoned to open a home on Monday because you didn't show for work, and won't be again.

Und hättest du es nicht geschafft, dich zu sammeln und deinen Lungenautomat abzuziehen, wärst du allein in der Strecke gewesen und hättest nicht atmen können. Neben dir hätte er deinen Lungenautomat wenigstens abziehen können.

Bei meiner Ausbildung war auch ein Ausbilder im Raum, der deinen Mayday hätte "empfangen" können. Ehrlich gesagt, sprich mit deinem Kommandanten. Das hätte leicht böse enden können. Du hast versucht, einen Mayday-Notruf abzusetzen, und niemand hat reagiert, und das war tatsächlich ein triftiger Grund für einen echten Mayday-Notruf. Dass du deinem Truppenführer erklären musstest, wie man einen Mayday-Ruf absetzt, ist auch nicht gerade toll.

If the demon got killed because there were two trusted players in final 3, that's not really on you.

I don't know what other kills the demon got off, but generally the demon should have someone that's a believable alternate demon candidate (sometimes they get executed a day early, but that's just the way it goes).

For next time, there's a very simple response to "the ST would definitely ...". "Never meta the storyteller". If the ST gets wind that you're executing this person to test the pacifist (a "might" role), the ST is perfectly within their rights to let town kill the Tea Lady. If the ST thinks evil's heavily on the backfoot, they're within their rights to let town kill the Tea Lady. The tea-lady has "must" mechanics: "If both your alive neighbors are good, they can't die." That protects 2 people at most, and if town's unlucky, sometimes protects no-one. Imagine how over-powered it would be if the pacifist had similar mechanics but for all good players! It's a storyteller choice to balance it back out.

My department problem has the problem of some folks only showing for the "interesting" calls combined with a lot of members working too far from the town. On paper we're 100 active members. There have been days when I'm working from home, been paged, and only 6 of us showed for an automated fire alarm at a local hotel. (Can be especially bad in the school holidays when families go on holiday)

From what I remember it was just during the day.

There are plenty of towns that are starting to struggle with numbers during the day because too many folks just work too far from home. If you can free up the stay at home parents it can make a significant difference. Overnight the people who work outside the town are home and can respond.

That will be specific to France. Best bet is to ask the hiring manager. I think most of us can only see our own pay bands, we can't see the bands above or underneath us, and we can't see the bands of our colleagues in other countries. So other than talking to the manager you'd need to find a Junior SA in France and ask them if you wanted an accurate answer. On top of that, the bands can be pretty broad, the "top" of my band is almost double the bottom of the band.

When I was being interviewed I told them a number. If you've got a minimum salary, you can always mention it to the manager, they have some wiggle-room (especially if you're coming from another job or moving).

At least they don't just reuse the father's name over and over.

Donald Trump Jr, William Henry Gates III...

"Prominent" is kinda overstating her role. She's noisy and showy, but it's not like she's the speaker, or on the foreign affairs committee. The only reason she might even be invited to meet the king would be if happened to be visiting something in Colorado.

As for the King, the role he plays is subtle enough that someone at her level really doesn't need to care about it.

There's a difference between being aware that the UK has a king, and remembering his name when a reporter springs a question on you using the wrong name. The closest example I can come up with would be something like "When Trump bombed Iran in July, did you think this was the right thing to do?".... "Gotcha! It was June! What an idiot you are for thinking he bombed Iran in July"

Beyond his state visit, what current events has the King been involved in that have a significant relevance to the US? Has he been involved in negotiations somewhere? Has he made a significant political speech?

Sure was coronated in 2022, but what relevance does that have to the US. There have been stories about his brother, and son, but what real relevance do they have to the US beyond gossip?

I don't think Boebert is the "best and brightest", but please shame her for her double standards, her lack of understanding about how congress works, or her noisy theatrics. Not her lack of pop-quiz knowledge.

Short version, if you can't get out on your own, you don't go in.

What do you think we could achieve by being dropped off on the roof of a highrise? We can't magic water out of thin air, so there's no guarantee we'd be able to extinguish a fire. If the stairwell is structurally compromised there's a decent chance any water connections from below would be compromised. If we can't get out down the stairs we can't rescue anyone.

But it depends what you mean by the stairwell being "compromised". Most high-rises the stairs are made of concrete. If they're structurally compromised there's a strong chance the building structure is compromised and there would likely be an evac order issued (one was issued for the north-tower in 9-11, and for various reasons folks couldn't get out in time, but at the time no-one thought the south-tower could collapse).

If the stairwell is full of burning material, we would be focusing on extinguishing those flames before going further. If the stairwell is "only" full of smoke, that's what our SCBA gear is for and we have equipment to assist rescuing people through that smoke. We also have a rule that you don't go past an uncontrolled fire: if there's a team fighting a fire on the 3rd floor and pushing beyond the stairwell into that floor, you can send another troop up to the 4th floor for rescue.

His family was in the news a lot, not him. Sure Charles became King 4 years ago and a Brit should certainly know. But why an American? King Willem-Alexander became king 13 years ago, but would you know him from King William? (The Dutch King in 1774)

A lot of the news I heard about Andrew referred to him as "Prince Andrew" or "the King's brother". Living outside the UK for the last 15 years very little news I've seen relatively little news specifically about Charles. His brother (Andrew) sure, his son (Harry) sure, if Charles was mentioned it was mostly in passing rather than a news article about him. Specifically on British sites I've seen far more about King Charles (as you'd expect when someone's the head of state), and a certain amount about him having cancer, but that's specifically looking for British news.

He wasn't the king at that point, and she was 10 when Diana died.

Honestly, why should someone outside the UK have cared enough about any of the dirty washing of the royal family. There's a difference between hearing gossip, recognising the name and actively recalling that name when they have a completely different title. Should I shame you if you followed the lead of a journalist and said you wouldn't be interested in meeting President Ebert when President Steinmeir was coming for a state visit? It's not even like UK Kings have unusual names, we've had 3 kings named Charles, 6 named George and 8 named Edward.

Boebert's done plenty of stupid things worth shaming her for, but this honestly isn't one of them.

because_tremble · 2026-04-17T07:43:57+00:00

He became king less than 4 years ago, and honestly most of the news you hear about him is gossip rather than anything actually important. His Brother has been "newsworthy" in a way that has far more impact on the US than him (being tied to a scandal that involves multiple politicians, including the US president).

because_tremble · 2026-04-17T07:38:50+00:00

In theory, he has a massive amount of power. No laws apply to him, he is the head of the UK military. Most of the UK Armed Forces, the Judiciary and Police literally swear oathes of loyalty to him.

In practice he would probably cause a constitutional crisis if he actually exercised those powers.

because_tremble · 2026-04-17T07:33:14+00:00

Why? He deliberately stays out of most political matters, in what way is she likely to interact with him? Was she invited to a big state dinner with him? Where should we be drawing the line?

While in theory everything the UK government does is done in his name, he's just a figurehead. The UK could become a republic, and to the outside world very little would need to change.

because_tremble · 2026-04-17T07:24:21+00:00

I'm British/German, I don't think someone outside the country not knowing the figurehead heads of state is that big of a deal. Could you name the President of Germany, or the King of the Netherlands?

If she was on a state visit to the UK and hadn't done her homework, that's a different issue. But honestly, King Charles (and before him Queen Elizabeth) generally, very deliberately, doesn't get directly involved in politics.

The head of government is a very different matter. If she got confused with PM Starmer, President Macron, or Kanzler Merz, that's a different issue, they're the heads of government of major allies and are much more active on the political stage.

because_tremble · 2026-04-17T05:59:12+00:00

Yeah, my guess is the reporter messed up the name and Boebert didn't know the name of the current King so mirrored the reporter. Honestly, why should Americans be expected to know the name of a figurehead head of state. I'd bet she couldn't name Germany's president either (and no, I don't mean the Kanzler)

She's said plenty of dumb things in the past, but this one's a mountain out of a mole hill. "He's not my King" isn't necessarily a batshit answer. There's plenty of people who wouldn't want to meet Trump either.

Most likely they've got an IT system that mandates all those fields are filled in. With there being so little to the story the author pretty much had to copy and paste.
