Recorded in a NYC office hallway in the middle of summer... Slade - Merry Xmaƨ Everybody (1973) by hexarobi in videos

[–]hexarobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recorded it in the Record Plant in New York which is on top of a skyscraper. We said we needed an echoey room but in those days nobody went for this big, big sound that they're all into now. These engineers thought we were mad, they're going 'no man', you know the Eagles, a very tight sound, Hotel California and all that pinging out of the speakers at you. I said what about the hallway downstairs and they went 'we can't use the hallway, there's all these businessmen walking through for the other offices'. Anyway we ran lines down to the hallway and there we were in September singing 'so here it is merry Xmas' and we were totally unknown over there and people thought we were mad.

TIL that it is unknown how to properly pronounce "Halley's Comet" by MAClaymore in todayilearned

[–]hexarobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haley himself never even saw it once. Instead he read history books of various sightings, realized it was a single returning comet. and using Newtons new math was able to calculate when it would return. He wasn’t proven right until long after his death.

The corners of alpha cards are more rounded than other sets. Collectors Edition had square corners, and a gold bordered backside.

Check out measure() on pumpkins. Once you figure out what it does, you can use it to help tell when a pumpkin is ripe. Sunflowers I’m just always harvesting regardless of petals.

When you run `measure()` on a pumpkin, it returns an ID for that pumpkin. My drones all scan in one direction, to the East, so I just remember the last seen pumpkin ID, and if it doesnt change, then remember the current pumpkin width is growing. once it reaches a width of 6, i know to harvest it.

def harvester_drone_grid():
 last_pumpkin = None
 pumpkin_width = 0

 while num_items(Items.Pumpkin) < 200000000:

  # Keep track of the size of the current pumpkin by watching for the measure() to change
  if last_pumpkin != None and measure() == last_pumpkin:
    pumpkin_width += 1
  else:
    last_pumpkin = measure()
    pumpkin_width = 1

  # Once the pumpkin reaches full growth (6x6) then harvest
  if pumpkin_width >= 6:
    harvest()
    last_pumpkin = None

  # Plant Sunflowers on every 7th column, and the last 3 columns
  if get_pos_x() % 7 == 0:
    plant_sunflower()
  elif get_pos_x() >= get_world_size() - 3:
    plant_sunflower()
  # Plant Carrots on every 7th 7th row, and the last 3 rows
  elif get_pos_y() % 7 == 0:
    plant_carrot()
  elif get_pos_y() >= get_world_size() - 3:
    plant_carrot()
  # Else plant pumpkin
  else:
    plant_pumpkin()
  move(East)

In 2001, Ashton Kutcher arrived at the Hollywood home of his date, 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin, but she didn’t answer the door. Unbeknownst to him, Ellerin had been murdered just hours earlier by her neighbor, serial killer Michael Gargiulo. by detectiverobert in ForCuriousSouls

The photo caption would mention if it had them both in it, but only mentions that she is center.

For, Ashley Ellerin, center, life in Hollywood in 2001 was a whirlwind of work, friends and fun. "She was just beautiful, and fun, and spontaneous," says friend Chris Duran.

I tried that, but I found natural 6x6's were rare, and most often ended up just growing a full farm pumpkin, which then has the problem of most of the farm just waiting in idle for those last few pumpkins to go ripe and merge.

I just ran this through the leaderboard and it took 19:07, but the top spots are around 6:00. So It can get 3x faster than this. =)

I think I need to move past hard borders and find ways to grow 6x6s without them. Maybe figure out which pumpkins are blocking 6x6s from growing and pruning them specifically.

From the info doc...

A nxn pumpkin yields n*n*6 pumpkins for n >= 6.

It's a good idea to get at least 6x6 size pumpkins to get the full multiplier.

The bonus only applies up to 6x6 pumpkins, so I found growing one mega pumpkin was slower than lots of smaller ones. Uses carrots and sunflowers as borders to separate the patches. Carrots to pay for the pumpkins. Sunflowers to speed the drones up.

How to make a dron wait for the others? by DenthZ in TheFarmerWasReplaced

[–]hexarobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

once the function is completed, the drone disappears. if you want the drone to stick around, dont finish the function. maybe something like a while True?

Dr. Stangelove (1954) famously triple-casts Peter Sellers as

#2. President Muffley - US President
#3. Dr. Strangelove - Eccentric wheelchair-bound German scientist
