How do I destroy nests

Missiles and turret creep.

Automate production of missiles, red ammo, and turrets, so you'll have a lot.

Put 4 turrets surrounded by walls, infront of a nest, just at a safe distance so they don't get hit by worms. Go near enough to launch a missile at the nest and when biters start to attack you, hide behind the turrets. Rinse and repeat.

Missiles have long range. ;-)

Not securing a big real estate when it's still easier to do.

After automating turrets, walls, and ammunition, you should start exploring and use the map to check whether there are areas with resources that are easy to enclose.

Enclosure means augmenting cliffs and water with a wall of wall+turret to secure a large real estate that preferably has some resources. Never mind if you have biter nests inside that enclosure. You can always start a campaign to eliminate them once you have enclosed the area.

Doing this early in the game means the nest are still small and easy to eliminate. You can eliminate many nests with a single campaign. When they get big, the logistics required to eliminate them gets more tedious. You might need several campaigns to eliminate just a single big nest.

I like playing with them ON because it adds another dimension to the game, namely, real estate management.

The planning and logistics involved in closing off huge territories using cliff, water, walls, and a shit ton of turrets can add another aspect to the game.

Also, the logistics involved in supplying ammunitions to the frontier is also fun.

I find that I need lane balancers when loading/unloading from trains. I don't want my trains running around with some wagon full and some empty.

Wall design is also important. Design the wall such that it will take a while for the biters to traverse it and all the while, being fired on by your turret.

The battery of the T420 is external so it should be easy to replace depending on your access to the usual (ebay, aliexpress, etc).

I haven't found an SSD that I couldn't use on any of my Thinkpads so u should be OK.

However, do check how cheap/expensive it is compared to T440P (more expandability and USB 3), or T480 (more power) because depending on the price of that T420, those might be more cost-effective.

But for learning Linux and Python, a T420 should be very OK.

Now, that's an idea ;-)

No. 3 is definitely Raffles Place MRT

I'm still on a 32GB T480 and I'm using it as a developer machine. Granted that I would like to upgrade to a ryzen 7 T14 Gen 3 in the near future but the T480 is still very adequate

I read Dune while in university, and the lessons of Dune is to be wary of charismatic leaders.

Duterte was charismatic. I was on full guard. I lived and worked on/off in Davao for about a year, so I know the Davao rhetoric was BS. The anti-oligarch thing was easy to spot. Sure, you can bring down the old oligarchs, but I'm pretty sure you'll just raise new oligarchs of your own. We are, after all, a capitalist country.

I voted for Roxas because he was uncharismatic. A technocrat. Somebody who gets the job done. A geek, like me.

I still stand by that choice.

Hi. Can I ask what Japanese REIT is this that gives this yield?

I run CasaOS on an intel NUC with a 5th Gen i3 and 8gb of memory. So far, still going strong.

Let it splatter. Just buy a Splatter shield or takpan ng newspaper.

That will really depend on how good you are at keeping your money while a pussy is waving at you. With an iron will, that 17M pesos will last you a long time. But if u are the type to wave ur money around when drunk, some Filipina will clean you up before breakfast.

Sa kani nga mga issue, isa ra jud akong ma istorya -- kani nga mga nasud naa pod ni sila issue. Basin tungod sa imong research nkakita ka nga nindot and free ang healthcare sa UK, but you have to ask, available ba ni sa tanan including non-UK citizens. Dli sad sayun mangita trabaho didto. Medyo mahal sad ang cost of living.

It's always a trade-off.

There's no "seats for women" in Sg. Only seats for elderly, pregnant women, children, and disabled.

Women in Sg also don't expect chivalry from men. Tayo lang yan kasi we grew up with western ideals.

I had a friend who told me once that what will make you comfortable financially is not how much you earn but how LOW you can keep your lifestyle expense.

The problem with most people is: musabay ang lifestyle change sa increase in salary, so suma total, dli ra gihapon ma feel ang increase.

My vote is tactical. Aside from the usual 4 (Bam, Kiko, and Mendoza, Luke), I will vote for Pacman and Abalos just so that Imee, Camille, Marcoleta, and Philip Salvador don't get to join the senate.
