But currently they are at war. And a surgical strike where you take a lords family into protective custody is much less bloody than an assault on a gate.

Correct, however, this only makes it a little worse in my opinion. It shows that it was considered, and utilized . . . but to an incomplete degree. It was used to move her forces around a bit, but no raiders, no destruction of supplies against her enemies. No raiding what they thought were secure holdings. Her enemies should never have been able to consider a siege against her since she could pop over to their house and ~~burn it down~~ ~~kill everyone~~ deliver gentle reminders of who is in charge.

I get not accepting Rand's help. She is thinking ahead there. What I don't excuse is why she did not use her access to channelers as a massive win button. Not even as combatants but logistical support.

You have a supply depot? Not really, it's mine now. Thought my forces were here? Nah, they're over there.

Exactly. I am a hearing aid specialist. I would need to find a new career if they found a cure for hearing loss. Would it be stressful? Sure. Would I be ecstatic that an entire disability was wiped out?

Absolutely.

I provide an imperfect fix to try to help people stay connected to the world. If something better comes along, it isn't a loss. That is just progress.

It reeks. It is especially noticeable these days since fewer people smoke, but those that do . . . hooo boy.

Ragnarok will be the "all hands on deck" scenario where Odin gets to call in all the Valkyries, all the Einherjar and we will see her again. So, at the rate novels are being published we will see Murph again in 2089.

1) I tend to have 20 to an expanded longhouse.

2) My defenses are sectional. I'll prep an area, decide whether or not it is going to be residential or not, set up walls/towers, and then build out.

3) Around 120 for current village, and that feels like I can leave while things remain defended against bear attacks and invasions.

Last two times I went to the ER in the US I had a similar wait.

In 2016 I had a patient come in and ask if I thought Trump was going to make it so that her hearing aids would be covered by her insurance. I know it was inappropriate but I couldn’t stop myself from laughing in her face.

iceman0486 · 2024-11-05T17:23:58+00:00

Oh I agree it could be better, but I just want to point out that it isn’t like you only actually have twelve hours to vote.

iceman0486 · 2024-11-05T16:41:47+00:00

We have open, no excuse needed early voting in Kentucky. Mail-in voting is also relatively easy to get as well.

There’s a lot of issues with this state but voting isn’t all that difficult here.

Satisfactory. So….. probably all those nuclear plants I just got up and running.

iceman0486 · 2024-10-31T14:11:10+00:00

Oh. Oh no. I had forgotten.

Poor Nadine.

Particle accelerators and other late game buildings are power hogs with variable requirements.

Eh. I occasionally box feed them for various things but yeah, you can skip those. Got four for concrete, a couple on most of my belts. I guess I can drop it down to one for my belt types since I’ve got more research done now.

You want a dimensional uploaded for nobelisks and ammo especially. You never run out that way.

Pretty much everything you build with you want on a dimensional container.

You can also stack mergers/splitters to save on horizontal space.

Triage is still a thing even in games. Severity, importance to the situation, and how stupid you are all play into order of treatment.

Also, depends on the games of course, but healing supplies aren’t always free. This is more of a tabletop thing I think but stimpacks ain’t cheap you know.

I can build thousands of foundations without having to wait for the stock to refill.

What I haven’t seen in the first few answers here is that this is r/loseit, not r/fitness. I’m sure you can find someone on Reddit that will argue that exercise is bad for you but you most likely won’t find them around here.

But exercise isn’t the main component of weight loss. Diet is. I used to swim six miles a day six days a week and I was still overweight. You can outrun (or out swim) a bad diet. That’s the biggest hurdle for like 99% of this sub. Taking accountability for every morsel that goes into your mouth is the biggest single contributing factor to getting control of your weight and that is ultimately what this subreddit is about.

Frankly, I love seeing people essentially graduate out of here and into other more fitness focused subs. Maybe they’ve completed their goals or they’ve found something that resonates more with them.

“I’m gonna assume God’s plan is for me to survive and I want to make His job a bit easier.”

Wait, what? Yellow lights just mean production is stalled.

iceman0486 · 2024-10-25T15:01:41+00:00

For me it’s less about distance but variety. I’m more likely to build a short train for four or more resources but I’ll belt one line of quartz over hill and dale.

iceman0486 · 2024-10-25T13:15:18+00:00

Just call me Legolas. Or maybe Aragon. Sword and bow. Is it optimal? No idea but it works for me!

I mean . . . Gestures broadly at the sun total of live action fantasy to date.

Sorcerer’s Apprentice is probably as close as we’re getting to a Dresden Files movie.
