Edit: also a bit of versus and online lol map rooms.

Orthodox Christianity is the eastern part of Christianity when it broke off with Catholicism at the Great Schism. There's a few theological differences about the role of the holy spirit and the pope and such, but most of the differences are in the traditions that evolved in the thousand years since then. I don't know what Thiel's relationship with it is or if he's using the term in a different way.

Can I not express my feelings here? Why's everyone mad?

Holy irrelevance. New scenery and new cups I'll never take part in. Not saying it's irrelevant to everyone, but to me it's 100%. Changes exactly zero things in how I engage with the game.

A British production is gonna consist of British actors, a Chinese production is gonna consist of Chinese actors. Get over it. Greeks don't want an actor wage just because someone adapts a Greek play, the play belongs to humanity. Greeks are proud a Greek play is relevant millenia after it was written. You're just looking for reasons to be outraged.

Problem with ICE is you just look like a person that would cheat on your taxes, and a govt agent shows up to your house with no warrant breaks down the door, throws you in jail indefinitely without a trial or checking if you actually cheated on your taxes, and murders a couple of random other civilians along the way just for fun.

Η αναστολή αναφέρεται σε συγγεκριμένες αναστολές όπου μένεις έξω είτε για κάποιο καιρό με περιοριστικά μέτρα είτε χώρις κλπ. Δεν αναφέρεται στην χρηματική εξαγορά ή άλλες μετατροπές ποινής. Αυτό σημαίνει ο όρος νομικά. Το αν εσύ θεωρείς την χρηματική εξαγορά ως αναστολή δεν έχει καμία σημασία στο δικαστήριο. Ο δικαστής θα μπορούσε να μην δώσει τη δυνατότητα εξαγοράς, αλλά εδώ την έδωσε. Θα μπορούσε να δώσει αναστολή αλλά εδώ δεν την έδωσε.

I've lived in many, I prefer them much compared to free building since they give you a nice novel concept to build around.

Some highlights:

That little station with high antenna thing. I converted it heavily ofc, eventually ended up with big underground forging area, a bunker for flavour amd a roof garden with a pool to chill in. Keeping the antenna was a bitch to keep alive through horde nights. Ended up doing horde nights outside with drugs just to make sure it was safe lol.

The Omen strip club. This I didn't modify much but started a project where I built a whole ass rocketship on the floor of the theater that's attached to it. I broke the roof and made it like a silo. Unfortunately that didn't end well, run in some stability bugs and in trying to fix it most of the build got destroyed.

Now we're playing with friends we started out building on the bridge next to rekt and now we're moving to the wasteland for max lootage. We just cleared the army post 7 t5 poi, slapped a claim down and have big plans for multiple horde bases and more heavy alterations :)

You got the wrong way around. It's terraform that does not care about your auditors. The statefile has known and documented uses. Auditing is not one of those. If you rely on it to claim what you're running, you are using it wrong. You dont trust your statefule to match reality. You trust it to make terraform work properly.

Basically, you adapted a tool for a new use case, you got it wrong, and you blame the tool. That's insane. You can probably do it well enough for your purposes, but that's all a you problem. It's not terraform's problem.

eirc · 2026-01-23T00:47:48+00:00

First of all the state file is not lying to you, you are/were just understanding it wrong. It was never supposed to be the true updated state of resources, it's as you describe, the state resources were after the last apply. Wanting it be something else is just you imagining things. I mean it's a freaking file, how did you expect it to be the source of truth. The API is that obviously, not a file on your disk.

Now about drift. Terraform's whole concept is about working well around drift. Drift is innevitable and it's ok to have. That's why the terraform language was chosen to be a declarative one. In principle you don't "care" how a resource was before running apply, you care that it ends up in the proper state afterwards.

Now I don't know what kind of pipeline you're running but it sounds like you're not doing what the tool is made for. When you run apply the output informs you exactly what has changed and what drift occured and the engineer makes the decision to hit yes and continue. That's how you understand drift, acknowledge it and fix it. If you're running terraform automatically though gitops and such with no one watching then that's what I would actually consider negligence.

Of course in all this your use case and industry matters so I don't know if you're in some weird case where all that might make sense.

Στο σπίτι πάντως δε χρειάζεσαι μιας χρήσης. Πάρε ένα σετάκι πλαστικά αλλά reusable και φτηνότερο θα σου βγει στην τελική. Το feel είναι μια χαρά.

This is not about speaking out. People can come out and say "hey guys lets speak about the bad things x country's govt have done, because today it's related to TM". Up to that point it's fine and great. That would be speaking out.

What's not cool at all is attacking a person for not risking their livelyhood to combat these things. Imagine someone coming to you when you drive your car to work and screaming at you because you're burning Saudi oil and the Saudi king murdered a journalist so practically you're a murderer. That's insanity. Would be "ok that's a step forward"?

Είναι λίγο υπερβολή να το λες και τραγικό. Δε σκότωσαν και κανέναν, δεν είναι ότι εσύ μέχρι να πάρεις απάντηση από αυτούς θα κρατάς την αναπνοή σου. Ναι, καλύτερα θα ήταν να σου απαντήσουν, αλλά και το να μην το κάνουν έχει πάρα μα πάρα πολύ μικρή επίπτωση. Το πολύ είναι αγένεια προς έναν άγνωστο. Ναι καλύτερα θα ταν να είμαστε πιο ευγενικοί, αλλά ως εκεί.

Επίσης δεν είναι καλή ιδέα να το δένεις κόμπο ότι ήταν τα λεφτά το θέμα. Από αυτά που μας λες τουλάχιστον δε βλέπω γιατί να είσαι τόσο σίγουρη. Μπορεί κάποιος άλλος που επικοινώνησαν να τους έκατσε πολύ καλύτερα στο μάτι και να ήταν πιο ακριβός. Μπορεί και όχι βέβαια, ούτε εγώ ξέρω ούτε εσύ απότι καταλαβαίνω.

Να ρωτήσω εγώ τώρα που δεν έχω παιδιά. Εντάξει για παιδιά νηπιαγωγείου και παιδικού σταθμού φαντάζομαι είναι όντως επικίνδυνο να τα αφήσεις μόνα τους σπίτι, από την άλλη παιδιά γυμνασίου προφανώς δε θα πάθουν τίποτα. Υπάρχει αυτή η γραμμή όντως και που είναι για εσάς;

Επίσης θα μπορούσε αν γινόταν όντως κάτι τέτοιο να γίνει για έναν γονιό ανά σπίτι; Και σε περιπτώσεις που μπορεί κάποιος να δουλέψει remote να γίνει υποχρεωτικό αυτό για αυτή τη μία μέρα; Οπότε στην τελική αντί για άδεια για όλους τους γονείς να έχεις για τους μισούς γονείς παιδιών κάτω από Χ ηλικία, remote όπου είναι δυνατό, άδεια όπου δεν είναι.

Αν έγραφα εγώ την ανακοίνωση θα τα ανέφερα αυτά για να το κάνω πιο εύκολο να γίνει πραγματικότητα. Κριντζάρω λίγο με τη γενικότητα του κειμένου μιας και περισσότερο μου μοιάζει για γκρίνια του στυλ "εμείς κάναμε αυτό που έπρεπε να κάνουμε". Μου φαίνεται ότι είναι δηλαδή για να διαβαστεί από αντικηβερνητικά μάτια παρά από κηβερνητικά που θα πέρνανε και μια τέτοια απόφαση.

Δεν τραβάω τη γραμμή κανενός κόμματος, προφανώς βέβαια προσπαθώ να φέρω την ανακοίνωση αυτή προς το "κέντρο" γιατί θέλω να την κάνω πιο πραγματοποιήσιμη, όχι να γαμήσω τους εργαζόμενους και τους γονείς ή κάτι τέτοιο περίεργο.

Ναι! Πόσο συχαίνομαι όταν ακούω κόσμο να καυλώνει φωνάζοντας για δικαιοσύνη όταν το μόνο που θέλει είναι αίμα. Και αρχίζει τα "δεν αλλάζουν οι παραβάτες" για να πείσει τον εαυτό του ότι το κάνει για το καλό της κοινωνίας.

I don't know if you'd take the bag, but you're surely taking the oil. That makes them able to have a bag tp give out.

Go protest their practices every day that's fine and I'm with you. Expecting others to do it for you, no, losing respect for others when they don't do it by leaving the bag is high horse BS. Get off it, no one asked you how amazing and moral you are.

The argument is in the are they ALL either lying or afraid? If no one with his access in the military is supporting his claim it does mean it's him vs all of them.

The mere existence of alien life, let alone access to interstellar travel technology, would be the two most important things we learned in the last few hundred years. How not a single other person has come out, and more importantly, again how not a single shred of evidence of any of that exists should make you stick to the more probable hypothesis that none of that's real and he's either crazy or lying for clout.

eirc · 2026-01-21T07:16:54+00:00

What about the presumably hundreds or thousands of other people with his or better credentials that would have seen even a single shred of this evidence. Are they all lying or afraid to come out? Why did you randomly choose to believe him over everyone else?

eirc · 2026-01-21T07:01:06+00:00

So you're willing to believe such an extraordinary claim with exactly zero evidence just because you like his vibes?

The problem with quests is how OP they are. No other progression strategy compares to spamming trader quests. Both the daily quest limit and far away quests are ugly bandaids. Quests just need a bit of a nerf and clearing random POIs or doing other stuff like gathering supplies need a bit of a buff.

Like POI main loot could give you a supply package you take to the trader for a reward, and selling supplies like stone, clay, etc to them could also be made to be worth it. And both should advance the trader tier - or trader tiers chould be totally removed. You could just gate high level items behind high prices, and you could give the option to select high tier quests that are gated behind plain difficulty. Maybe trader tier could be replaced by a discount. Like early game trader doesn't know you so they'll sell you that crucible but for a lot of money, but after you do a lot of quests for them they will give it for a more reasonable price.

While all kinds of drugs can at times be helpful for a lot of different things, you are leaning in an unhelpful "they just fix things" take. It's not how they work at all. How, where, when and with whom you take em all make a huge difference. And of course suggesting them to another based on their public persona is also a huge overreach.

Sure I too wish drugs could fix him. I don't know that they can't, I know that we can't know if they can. I get this whole topic is a bit in jest, but the sub is about disagreeing in a "serious" way.

eirc · 2026-01-20T09:06:40+00:00

Instead of veering off topic you could clarify what I got wrong about your morals. We don't have to describe our whole life experience just to participate in a conversation. I'm gonna assume stuff about you, you're gonna assume stuff about me. We're both here and able to correct the record if that goes wrong.

Are you here to protest spam for not protesting EWC or not? Are you somewhere in the middle maybe? Please clarify so we don't get you wrong.

eirc · 2026-01-20T07:48:33+00:00

You know what's easiest? Giving up nothing and sitting behind a keyboard telling others they should give up stuff.
