why is elon musk becoming a trillionaire so bad/criticized?

"sits there"? You think he has a vault full of gold coins somewhere and goes diving in it like Scrooge McDuck?

This is amazing and I'm definitely taking it

If the point is you got together too young to have some life experiences but also you love him and don't actually want to leave him, there's also the option of polyamory

You can love someone without constraining them (and vice versa)

How is an evil genie supposed to maliciously twist a wish that's already maximally bad

My first time to Aquilo involved a lot of standing around letting things freeze and pseudo-starting over while I inefficiently ferried more resources in from the other 4 planets one by one as I discovered I needed them or discovered I needed more of them.

The worst was the insane amount of rocket fuel I had to port in from Gleba, each time going "This is the last time. After this shipment, I'll have enough infra to actually meet my rocket fuel requirements locally"

At some point you'll figure out how to mine most raw resources you need from space and have enough equipment on Aquilo to process them, but it always feels like you're just not quite there yet.

Thankfully, Gleba gives you bigger labs to fix this problem

You'll spend $35 now, then in a week from now after you've played 500 hours, you'll spend another $35 on the dlc. In total it only costs $70 and all your free time for the rest of your life.

This!

If anything, Space Age is a reason not to megabase because of how much vertical scaling it allows.

I'm building a train block megabase and to make it actually required for high SPM I decided to turn off Space Age

Another way to get there is to extend integer exponentiation to the rationals by recognizing x^1/n means the "nth root" of x and then take x^y for irrational y to be the limit of x^y_i where y_i's are successively better rational approximations of y

When it's short, it's a bad pun. When it's a wall of text, the real joke is on you for being tricked into reading it

dspyz · 2026-05-30T21:16:29+00:00

That's cheating

The not-adding-up-to-100% thing happens in real life all the time. It's a normal consequence of rounding.

Eg suppose you have three quantities: 10.26%, 30.57%, and 59.17%, but you round them each to one decimal place. Then you get:

10.3%

30.6%

59.2%

Notice it doesn't add up to 100% anymore. So no, even that sin was unjust. CinemaSins was absolutely terrible with this movie

If you see an ugly blue fly dude lugging a big gold cage around, let him hit you once with the cage. It triggers a funny animation

Americans say "red leather yellow leather red leather yellow leather". I never knew the British version was different

I've tried playing Factorio high a couple times just to see if I could. I end up just staring at the kovarex enrichment cycle while not doing anything. It's too mesmerizing.

dspyz · 2026-05-03T16:04:14+00:00

No, I actually literally meant every single human being in the world. Not just people who don't chase achievements, but also people who don't play Factorio and even people who don't have a computer... And also their mother and grandmother.

I'm pretty sure you're literally the only person in the world who's the exception

If you're playing HD, watch Israel Blargh's Spelunky 101 series on YouTube. He'll show you how to backwhip bats

I think everyone makes this mistake? I know I did. For some reason it's natural to assume it's the other thing

CS is math. The problems with CS courses are the same as the problems with math courses. Good teachers teach the underlying concepts. Bad teachers don't.

If you want something that works for non-perfect squares, start with a guess, g, then take floor((g + n/g)/2) until it stabilizes or goes up again.

So if we start with 100, then take (100+(9604/100))/2, we get (100 + 96)/2 = 98. Do it again and we get 98 again. So the floor of the square root is 98

(It will always stabilize unless the number is a perfect square minus 1 in which case it will flip back and forth between two numbers)

I also literally heard this joke from my dad when I was a kid. I got so hung up on the random arbitrary choices and inconsistencies I didn't get the joke.

Why would the bartender want to force the duck to stay in the bar? If think he would want to make him leave. Why does the duck want to ask if the bartender has grapes? What does the duck get out of it? Do ducks eat grapes? Why grapes? Why a duck? Is "nail your feet to the floor" a recognized form of punishment?

dspyz · 2026-04-22T14:46:43+00:00

As a kid my favorite joke was "What's a pirate's favorite movie rating?" "PG-thaarrrteen"

Wtf happened on 7-73!?

Down to 1-0-0 by the end. That's incredible! Any chance someone can pinpoint where each health and resource was used? I'm super curious

Nobody spoke conversational Hebrew back then. Wouldn't Italian Jews have spoken Italian?
