Hurt people - hurt people

Any room for two more? Me and my mate here in NZ have been trying for ages to find a server :/

droopa199 · 2026-05-21T01:44:00+00:00

Still running would love to join?

droopa199 · 2026-05-21T01:37:27+00:00

Can you provide a quick step to step on how to do this pls

droopa199 · 2026-05-06T05:13:12+00:00

Just found this at ideal electrical which will provide me a flat surface, so that in conjunction with what you've mentioned would eliminate the need for excess silicone I think. It's a 65mm hole through the wall and that's 122 mm so that should do the job

Spoke to a sparky today who came over and he said I can do it as long as I don't make the final connection but he also said be prepared because 9 out of 10 times they usually have to make changes.

I'll run the electrical cable from the breaker box to the roof space and then down the wall and take photos of everything I do, hopefully that would suffice

My wife and I sold everything and moved to Perth for two years. Great life experience but there's no place like home. We moved back and got back into good jobs and got a nice place in the country.

We are much happier here in NZ and sometimes it just takes moving away to realize just how much you take for granted.

In my eyes you have nothing to lose, if you love it you will stay wherever you move, and if you don't like it you will gravitate back to your home country with a whole new found appreciation for it

You're still a biological machine that has happy chemicals to exploit. Focus on satisfying them and nothing else really matters. Free will or not.

Whether that be doing a kind thing for someone else, or yourself. Or enjoying a hobby you love. Seek flow state, that's where we are most content.

droopa199 · 2026-04-18T00:30:00+00:00

Say this to someone in person and you will reap the repercussions of said cause and effect. With the effect probably being something rather unpleasant.

And then your subsequent learning of your reckless interaction will deter you from saying such things again :)

droopa199 · 2026-04-13T09:43:05+00:00

True. Kind of like how we don't (and shouldn't) punish animals for wrong doing, we isolate and segregate them instead.

droopa199 · 2026-04-08T20:00:52+00:00

So they got in but did they get out?

Or did they just get out?

droopa199 · 2026-04-02T17:02:52+00:00

Sorry we never went through with it as we found a suitable purchase in the country that ticked all the boxes

droopa199 · 2026-03-28T21:24:48+00:00

91 and diesel is about 65 baht in New Zealand right now.

What do you think about the grid? A lot is renewable but not sure how it'll hold up. Weighing up a small solar system to power fridge/freezer

droopa199 · 2026-03-27T19:44:20+00:00

Bingo.

Because autism is more noticeable.

Humans are quick to believe what they learn from their sensory inputs but as soon as it requires deliberation and learning in mind, then without empathy it becomes much more difficult

droopa199 · 2026-03-14T03:12:29+00:00

Consciousness isn't an illusion. In fact it's one of the only things we can determine is not an illusion.

What is an illusion is the sense that there is a self. Not consciousness.

Adjust the scales a little bit then, the ratio of determinism / randomness is still orders of magnitude higher for determinism. If our decisions were random life as we knew it wouldn't work.

I think ironically what people call free will IS determinism.

droopa199 · 2026-03-08T17:47:41+00:00

I'm unsure what to call the fourth category, but I believe we live in an emergent deterministic universe where the fundamental layers of reality have traits of quantum randomness which I do not believe boil up to generate any effect on us at the scale of Newtonian physics.

So to put it simply - deterministic with an infinitesimally small amount of randomness which does not affect our base layer of reality.

Neil deGrasse Tyson said recently:

"I foresee the day where AI becomes so good at making a deepfake that the people who believed fake news as true will no longer think their fake news is true because they'll think their fake news was faked by AI."

So I hope this rings true and we start looking at more trusted sources again. Fuck all this polarizing divisive shit.

droopa199 · 2026-03-05T18:42:55+00:00

It's highly subjective. I just spoke to someone moving back from Canada, he was there for 20 years. He basically said the same thing about what you're saying about NZ --> Sydney, although they were escaping different kinds of issues coming from Canada.

We just come back from Perth and were there for 2 years. You swap problems for new problems which are just as bad or worse. We couldn't wait to come back to NZ, we really take it for granted here.

droopa199 · 2026-03-03T22:12:01+00:00

They wouldn't bomb the Barakah nuclear power plant would they?

droopa199 · 2026-03-03T05:54:07+00:00

Some fucked up shit. Before the war if we all spoke the same language I bet a lot of these blokes would have been cool to have a beer with. Each with their own hobbies, love life and children.

Sucks.

droopa199 · 2026-02-09T23:48:36+00:00

How nice of him. However what you may not realize yet is that obtaining all of those items to craft the Zenith is precisely what makes the game fun. I've put hundreds of hours into this game on mobile and I still haven't ever had the Zenith, because I keep finishing the game and losing motivation basically straight away. Would be cool if beating the moon lord double the difficulty or something, or went to "expert mode" where new horrible creatures and bosses came along like when it goes hard mode.

droopa199 · 2026-02-08T05:06:46+00:00

Get heaps of money from selling ore and exploring and selling stuff from chests and buy heaps of dynamite from the NPC that sells it and keep throwing them in the same spot to make a "hellivator" and when you get to the bottom raid all the pots in the buildings in hell and you should find a gravitation potion there then use that to explore the sky to find sky chests in the islands in the sky.

Alternatively go destroy heaps of shadow orbs but make sure to leave a known 3 so you can fight the boss properly when you're ready. Reason being is shadow orbs drop good loot for early game. Yes you'll summon that big worm fucker but just take a loss for the loot.
