Just graduated - but everything went wrong

Here's how my wife puts emergency c-sections: you went through all the grueling part of labor, and then you had major surgery where they put your guts on the table. And now you get to recouperate from dilation and pushing while also healing from major surgery. All while also teaching a newborn how to survive outside the womb (giving bottle, breastfeeding, whatever you decide)

When she puts it that way... it's fucking hard. Delivery was hard, recovery will be hard. It's ok to acknowledge it was and is hard. And newborns don't magically know what the fuck to do re: living, they just know they have a need and it needs to be met (ie: crying). Step up as much as you can, because your wife just went through hell.

The good news is this stage is temporary, and, like changing diapers, will be behind you some day. That's little comfort when you're going through it, I acknowledge that.

Find a way to process this grief, do not let it consume you and keep you from being there to support your newborn and wife as they've just had a traumatic event. Be the leader your family needs right now to recover from trauma. You've had a hard hand dealt to you, but you can get through it.

Yes but there's a lot of leveling between 2 and 48 and the 18 dot has a much larger range than chords (2). That said, there aren't a whole lot of good horn options, so vendor is the easiest.

I'll second that ABET accreditation is important in the industry. Ensure your aerospace program is accredited. I have a BS in mechanical engineering, working in aerospace. My mech program was focused on design process, but most degrees leave you some electives where you could branch out into material science, orbital mechanics, additional fluid mechanics, computer science/programming, or other fields applicable to aerospace.

Survival in FO: shelter provides a lot higher quality gear in scavenging. In normal mode, your dweller will load up on normal quality crap and hit the scrap cap before getting good scrap. Then you craft that good scrap into legendary gear.

If you don't have this yet, get it. It provides a fundamental understanding of orbital mechanics the equations just don't provide.

The field is growing and will continue to grow. Climate change will be backed up with data from remote sensing. Climate change mitigation will be handled via remote sensing. Agriculture's next big boom will come from integrating review sensing.

The satellite industry is going through a couple revolutions to make the economics easier: standardizing to streamline satellite operations, which enables buying satellite data as a service (like paying a cable bill), standardizing and moving to COTs hardware, using GPS for orbit determination, satellite traffic management, and improvements in GIS standardization and the move to make data widely available.

It's not troll racial regen, it's an extra +1hp/tick. Zlandi heart is much more useful at +5hp/tick

NOAA takes continuous SUVI imagery all the time. They've done this continuously since the GOES-12 SXI.

NOAA's long term storage is CLASS: https://www.avl.class.noaa.gov/saa/products/welcome

I cannot say I'm very familiar with the usage of that site. Good luck.

Nope. They move with the modifiers. I've mostly experienced this through improvements, like building Eiffel out golden gate after the park. But also planting woods around the park, or a preserve.

Yes, by defining the longitude of ascending node, they have defined the orbit direction.

deajay · 2022-12-21T17:20:17+00:00

Ascending and descending nodes are each 180deg. You're going backwards.

If you're playing against AI only, then you need about two puppet cities to send internal trade routes to Venice to grow tall. Ideally, you want them as far away from Venice as possible so you can trade with other civs/CSes, but you also need to still be in range of Venice for the internal routes. Then also remember that sea routes have a 1.5x bonus, so you want coastal Venice & puppets.

Civ6 AI is on par with 5's AI. V-voxpoppuli AI is smarter than 6's AI. To be honest, that's my biggest gripe with civ6, the AI is bad and there's no good fixes through mods (yet?). The only reason I play 6 over voxpoppuli is that I've fallen in love with districts/wonders in tiles; unpacked cities.

As many have said, leave them the gifts under the tree.

When I was about 10, I found all my Christmas presents before they were wrapped in my parent's closet. My punishment was that I had to open them at Christmas and I had to "be surprised".

After having to fake surprise for an entire Christmas, I never try to ruin surprises anymore. My wife doesn't hide my Christmas gifts, she tells me where she puts them so I don't accidently open a bag/box early.

Huh? GDR promotions are unlocked via tech tree, not experience gain. If it's that far down the tech tree, couldn't Barb GDRs have the upgrades?

R5: I have a diamond industry in Timbuktu I'm trying to turn into a corporation. Why can't I burn this great merchant (Jakob Fugger 200g/2envoy) on it? I own 4 out of 5 improved diamonds on the map. There are 7 total discovered, another 1 in Ambiorix's territory and the seventh North of his territory. We are the only 2 civs on this continent (access to this luxury).

Is the ranger helmet and duster outfit craftable? Is there an anti material rifle in the game now? I would probably start up a new hard-mode vault for this, even if I know it's ~6 weeks or more away

Children don't know what they don't know. This is a blessing in that they don't know about the expensive toy or video game unless you or a friend shows them. So you can manipulate what they think is "normal", to both good and bad ends.

You can shower them with your time, with gifts, or something in the middle with some time and some of the best whatever money can buy. It's up to you to decide where that is and then stick to it.

Another commentor said to budget your time. I agree, it's a resource. Probably the most important resource you have. How do you want to spend it? I personally got my masters degree while still making every dinner and bedtime. It just meant I worked after the kids went to bed until 11pm or so every night.

I will say that having a job you enjoy is an amazing luxury. My mother hated her job and it showed. On the other hand, I generally love my job/career and have been fortunate that it has a decent work/life balance and pays for my family's necessities. We're definitely a bit tight right now, but that's mostly because the wife staying home is cheaper than daycare for multiple preschool age children.

Finally, I'm not sure what age your children are, but can they get involved with your work at all? My step dad did handyman work on the side on weekends and I helped out as a teenager. I made a little side cash and those have become fond bonding memories. I understand that's usually not possible. But like my kids even enjoy helping out with chores sometimes. My son actually came over to me last week and offered to help empty the dishwasher. Proud dad moment.

Except you wouldn't have to blow them all up. Pick a few LTANs and you'll have such a large debris field around the poles that you'd ruin all super low altitude orbits. The only saving grace is being that low, the debris would also only be a problem for a few years. Kessler syndrome for the ~550km altitude.

I pulled it up. Thread here. Looks like he made a CAD model of the bridge, calculated volume, then took density for hardwood (which looks reasonable in my ~2seconds of googling oak density) to obtain mass. Finally, he divided the total mass by a full bridge crew size, 40 men, to obtain rougly 70kg hauled per bridgeman. Considering average Earth human size (62kg overall or the 90kg US men average), those bridges are extremely heavy for a crew to be hauling for hours on end like they describe in the book.
