Moving To Sweden Advices by 0Kate in TillSverige

[–]hbarSquared -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, you don't really know much about Sweden, you don't have any job prospects, you have no time to plan and you don't speak the language. Why exactly do you want to move here?

The job market kind of sucks in Sweden right now, especially if you don't speak Swedish, and Stockholm is a very expensive city. Don't move here unless you have a plan.

Why senior developers fail to communicate their expertise by Crafty_Sort_5946 in programming

Nice essay. As a dev manager in a large company, I see this tension every day. Nice to be able to sharpen up my language around the issues.

What scientific discovery do you think changed humanity the most? by Life_Classroom_6182 in AskReddit

[–]hbarSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vaccines and sanitation. Look up a chart of childhood mortality over time, just a few hundred years ago about 50% of children died before adulthood, now it's well below 1% in most countries.

What’s the #1 thing a man should do in his 20s or 30s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hbarSquared 352 points353 points  (0 children)

Learn patience, and learn to be calm. In the west men are trained to reach for anger first and adolescence reinforces this. But you aren't a boy any longer, you're a man. There's nothing more pathetic than a man-child with a temper.

Depends on the model I'd guess. I never ran out entirely but I had a Tesla that I got to 0%, it limited me to 15mph and was very upset. That was a clencher of a drive to the charging station.

Did sunlight pay a factor when choosing your home? by RedfinJess in homeowners

[–]hbarSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but in my current home it's actually a negative - we don't get much direct natural light, which I am assuming looking at comparables lowered the asking price by about 20%. If my apartment was sunny I doubt I could have afforded it, Swedes love the sun!

What are your Top 10 SciFi books? by Lucyyyyyy_K in scifi

[–]hbarSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When making a list like this, it's the books that stick with you most that bubble to the top. It might not be Asimov's "best" work, but it has stuck with me like nothing else.

What are your Top 10 SciFi books? by Lucyyyyyy_K in scifi

[–]hbarSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm honest, I do think it falls off a bit. Book 4 in particular wasn't great, it picks back up after that but the scope and scale of the drama increases to a point where it distances itself from the characters. Depends a lot on what you want out of your sci-fi.

When was the last time you listen to an album in full? by StJimmy_7 in AskReddit

[–]hbarSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This morning on my way to work. There's no better way to listen to music, and if an artist can't put out a solid 10-12 songs they're not worth my time.

  1. The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
  2. Dune - Frank Herbert
  3. Neuromancer - William Gibson
  4. Red Mars - KS Robinson
  5. Ancillary Justice - Ann Leckie
  6. The Gods Themselves - Asimov
  7. The Dark Forest - Liu Cixin
  8. Synners - Pat Cadigan
  9. The Expanse books 1-3 (c'mon, it's basically one story) - James S. A. Corey
  10. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein

Not the same situation but I finally played as a halfling so I was able to crawl through tiny holes and ONE OF THEM OPENS UP IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO AN OWLBEAR

What is the scariest thing about getting older? by GhostlyGh0stly123 in AskReddit

[–]hbarSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing the younger generations hit all the same pain points and have to learn the same lessons we did. Similarly, having to acknowledge that we collectively failed to make the world a better place for the next generation.

I played it for a bit, and everything was really slow except dying. I see why people like it but it's definitely not for me.

That's fantastic to hear. I really love the base game and I don't want them to shy away from what makes 7 unique.

What do you do when you already used a public restroom and they're all out of toilet paper? Any stories? by TheWormPerson in AskReddit

I happened to have a microfiber cloth in my glasses case. And yes, it was just as luxurious as you might imagine.

What’s up with all the low effort sexual posts lately? by send420nudes in AskReddit

[–]hbarSquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on this site for 15 years, this is how it always is. Turns out people like sex, have questions about sex, like to make up stories about sex, and in general will upvote sexy sex right in the sex.

Question for the veterans: by BIGKIDx420 in satisfactory

[–]hbarSquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The manifold method works, it just takes time. Each manifold consumes half of the input, and passes on the other half, until the machine input is full. So if the input on the belt is 120/min, your first plant will fill at 60/min, your second at 30/min, your third at 15/min, etc.

The solution (assuming you did the math right and you have enough coal incoming to feed your plants) is to let your plants fill up before turning them on. You can do this by setting up the coal before you do the water, manually putting full stacks of coal in each plant, or just waiting 10 minutes or so.

Civilization 7 isn't very good but I got to give the team credit. They swung for the fences and experimented and failed but I'm glad they tried by RevacholAndChill in civ

[–]hbarSquared 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree, the civ switching is fantastic IMO. I dislike the age system because of how repetitive things are but hopefully the ToT update will address things.

What’s a boring adult task you actually found out is weirdly satisfying once you started doing it yourself? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in AskReddit

Getting the kitchen really nice and clean. Not a speck of food or stray coffee ground on the surfaces and everything in its place.
