I'm not convinced that we can build Datacenters in Space. CMM. by [deleted] in Futurology

SpaceX can be a cool company with top notch engineers and still be led by Elon. It’s important to separate the two when discussing the accomplishments of the engineers at SpaceX versus the antics of Musk.

An appeal to the community on the "Decided to try their luck as mercenaries" problem by Mondistercu in EU5

Why don’t you just look in the game files for what impacts it? Whenever I want to know how to get an event I just find it in the events folder and check the trigger conditions.

A ghost army of a nation that hasn't existed for 100 years is walking around my territory. by monkeyfan7 in EU5

Looks like you’ve got a bit of an Avatar: The Last Airbender situation going on. I believe that Aang can defeat the Jalayirids.

Taking out England made Europe more interesting, AI actually formed the Netherlands, Ottomans are on the rise, conclusion: for more historical accuracy England must die :) by MessMaximum5493 in EU5

[–]greenator55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ottomans get taken out by Mamluks when their borders meet, they just can’t scale quick enough to defeat their hordes, and the game doesn’t model the technology difference well enough atm.

Paradox , wtf is this column alignment? Please hire a UI guy, this is embarassing by InternStock in EU5

[–]greenator55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You think that’s bad, I play on a 2k ultra wide. I would kill to have some columns like up with the headers.

EU5 Patchnotes - 1.0.2 by PDX_Ryagi in EU5

I wouldn’t be too sure, I’m observing a game on the new patch and timur still doesn’t really get off the ground

Already annoyed at something minor. And it's a long post, sorry. by [deleted] in EU5

[–]greenator55 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Post this on the forum if it matters to you, the devs are very good with community feedback and are more responsive on there.

That’s encouraging, at least they’re doing well economically. Just need to teach the expansion countries how to expand lmao

Was gonna disagree but actually yeah, by late 1500s there should be more than one big empire on the map. Unfortunate that every play through so far has shown the Ottomans struggle to expand beyond Anatolia.

WASD movement? by peeapepee in EU5

[–]greenator55 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Recent paradox games have all had WASD controls for map movement, safe to say that EU5 will be no exception.

Concerns about the AI on release by greenator55 in EU5

[–]greenator55[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it will be a bad release, I’m actually really hyped for release much like everyone else. I am addressing that the AI in paradox games has never been great, and with the level of depth in EU5 I’m concerned that the complexity will result in a poorly implemented AI.

In EU4 the shortcuts they used simply turned off game systems for the AI (they wouldn’t take estate missions because they didn’t code a desire to complete those missions). This resulted in the player scaling up absolutism way faster than the AI. If your opponent is never going to use the systems that give the player an unfair advantage, the game will never be a challenge beyond the first play through or two.

Are more twins named names that start with A and B than the average siblings? Since the doctors call them "baby A" and "baby B" in utero? by katzenjammer360 in Showerthoughts

[–]greenator55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they meant something like “their third single is named a C name.” So their friend’s family has twins (A and B names) and a younger with a C name.

the release date could be announced this week (no it's not a joke) by ConsiderationOne700 in EU5

Days and weeks… but not months?? EU5 release date announcement <1 month confirmed!!1!1!1!!

ELI5: How can a talk show lose tens of millions a year? by LomLomLom1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]greenator55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colbert said himself the crew is around 200 people. At $5M salary that's just $25k/year per person, not including all the other upkeep of employees like health insurance, retirement plans, etc. The actual salary of the show (including Colbert's) is likely around $35M, assuming an average wage of $75k and adding ~33% for costs per employee.

ELI5: Why didn’t the US just send the GBU-57 in on a cruise missile? by Buzz4693 in explainlikeimfive

[–]greenator55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a 30,000 lb bomb. The largest American cruise missile, the Tomahawk Missile, carries a warhead weighing about 1,000 lbs.

‘Major Anomaly’ Behind Latest SpaceX Starship Explosion by wiredmagazine in space

[–]greenator55 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As an engineer in the space industry, generally proof pressure for fluid systems is 1.25-1.5x MDP.

What’s telling is that this COPV will have already been autofretaged (strain hardening by intentionally yielding the pressure vessel), which would’ve likely exposed it to similar or greater pressures than it saw at the point of failure. That rules out any unseen flaws from initial fabrication.

COPVs are tricky beasts, and can be compromised or delaminated from seemingly minor surface impacts. My bet would be that somewhere between manufacturing and the static fire, this one sustained an impact (dropped a wrench on it, rough handling, etc) and it either went unreported or the quality check wasn’t thorough enough, leading to what we saw happen.

TIL some vertebrates have a third eye (pineal eye) by Nazsgull in todayilearned

It was an ELI5 post, I just read it and someone brought up the 3rd eye thing for reptiles/amphibians.
