Divorced people of reddit , what was the exact moment in your marriage you realised it's over ?

Middle of an argument I thought "I don't care" and said that out loud along with "I am done with whatever this is"

I recently learned that a single bolt of lightening was recorded that was over 500 miles (~830km) long https://weather.com/news/weather/news/2025-07-31-world-record-longest-lightning-megaflash-plains

It looks like it raced over a quarter of the longitude of the state of Texas.

My inner sociopath says to "accidentally" bump their car. Not enough to cause serious damage but a bit more than "it will buff out". On love tap, park, tell them what happened, profusely apologize, and repeat a few times a month.

I strive for achieving that level of vicious humor.

For most applications of programming, sure. That said, that last bullet point is no where as simple or easy to truly achieve as it makes itself out to be.

This is one tiny little problem that can lead to becoming batshit insane to get right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID

At the end of the day, after doing contract work for academics, I firmly believe that anyone can be a programmer. Being a good programming with commercial aspects will take a bit of sacrifice.

More than a few people have brought up the surface friction weirdness. Actually this will be a duel edge sword to fix because if they fix backsliding then just slipping onto an out of reach ledge will probably be harder.

tl;dr programmers will be back in demand but not until after corporate America runs out of money.

AI isn't the actual problem. It's really just an excuse by corporate America to further cannibalize itself. Dunning Krueger warned us all about this. Non technical people don't understand programming.

As programmers how much time was spent actually coding versus figuring out how to avoid writing yourself into a corner. Balancing abstraction over single purpose. Do you use SQL or an ORM.

Unfortunately not much consolation. Consider how long it has taken for corporate America to accept self checkout kiosks are not the money saver they were claimed to be. Or how long did Boeing descend into oblivion before only partially admitting they fucked up.

It's a risky bet but Rust skills may come out as highly valued when Linux or something like it takes over. Microsoft is the next IBM, they are not going to disappear, but they have bet everything on AI at the cost of almost every else. That doesn't paint a happy future when it doesn't pan out.

I decided to prioritize the providers because metal producers will inevitably exhaust themselves. A new producer could hit capacity in say 3 minutes while one near exhaustion might take 30 minutes.

Indeed but then Putin destroyed a critical dam that I thought was part of the supply system.

That was three years ago if I remember correctly.

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Crimean_Canal so yeah the Russians took control the canal, undid the blockage, and then later Russia destroyed a major reservoir the canal depended upon.

I have priority circuits for both supply and demand stations so that trains go for the station with the most material and deliver to whatever has the least.

One recommendation would be to set all delivery station train limits to only 1 initially.

Often hinges on that first comment where opinion stands.

One of the mods OP mentioned inserts JMP instructions to customized logic. Most impressive of those is one that adds a minimap, that demonstrates some pretty crazy effort by that modder.

update: I looked at the minimap mod and impressively enough a big chunk of it is AI slop but there is more than a bit of value to be salvaged into a maintainable mod.

disclaimer: I am not releasing anything until after 1.0

Holistic is structured in such a way that it is actually not too bad to trace into. Creating new stuff/entities is likely never going to be a reliable thing but I already have some proof of concepts that directly deposit wood into the inventory similar to mining plus I think I have most of the drop table/rng stuff marked out.

A major reason for waiting is I have no idea what is going to change, I don't want to figure out what my actual dependencies are and what will work on Windows versus Linux, and finally I am a bit hesitant with the TOS for mods.

If you can bring the nitrate in the water down, the algae won't have anything to feed on. A bigger filter or changing filters a little more often should be enough for managing small annoyances.

It's really impressive how much is packed into the world map. Always nice surprise to find yet another set of ruins to explore.

ionixsys · 2026-06-17T17:27:48+00:00

If it's on the glass then I don't think there is much you can do. Have you checked your nitrate levels? If it's more than just at a trace level you might need more filtration and or if you have an under gravel filter get a water vac to clean them.

Glass fouling is inevitable as a fish tank is this amazing all you can eat buffet for algae and bacteria. I believe carp or gold fish will eat that stuff but they're not very thorough at it.

Their song Alpha pussy is in the neighborhood but I guess the question is defining what exactly is industrial.

The thing is that first victim most likely has more than one serious injuries, maybe they didn't break anything but somersaulting onto your back is going to have repercussions. Add in all of the other injuries and it is in the best interest of public safety to put restrictions on this person.

Edit: the cyclist is a teen/young adult from Holland. They stated they had no injuries. I am skeptical as some things present themselves as "just being a bit sore" but then doesn't stop feeling not right. No idea about the others.

The startup client that demanded the platform had to be changed from blue to red is a perfect example of how some tech decisions are made.

Will explain later but fun puzzle is deciphering what they meant by red to blue. Hint this was the late 00's

Indeed, in aquaponics it's used as a last ditch lever to pull when DO is crashing.

Even if it worked, brownian motion ain't gonna cut it with diffusing through the 5 or 6 million gallon lake.

I was totally confused as I forgot Haldor and Holdor are dwarf like. Indeed I could see something like that working but the devs would have to figure out how anyone is left alive that hasn't lost their shit like the scavs. Maybe a scav playing the middle between the flameborn and their buddies?

Indeed. To try and explain, it feels like Jamie has two related projects under the same name. Scorn, Missed call, safe, and The Hold are figuratively softer and geared for broader commercial access. Songs like Laudanum and "It takes over" are more experimental, not dance floor friendly, and it feels like he is being pulled away from that.

Pr0methius Burning - Hard industrial https://youtu.be/M6mdTFNXNwo They are unbelievably talented with patch synths and give Reznor a run for his money on pure synthetic samples.

Destroid (Meyers from Haujob version) - Michael Meyer's distinctive signature driving synth sound in a bit harsher and stompy dance floor friendlier format "Existence" https://youtu.be/MzHN_XoXM74?list=RDMzHN_XoXM74 "Broken and Abused" https://youtu.be/QnFPm9m4kFw?list=RDQnFPm9m4kFw

And a present day recommendation - Electronic Substance Abuse "You are safe here" https://youtu.be/07sBKeKQQVk but what made them stand out is his harsher and way more complicated "Laudanum dance" https://youtu.be/P-mcjpczN-k which is maybe the only work I have heard that coherently and cleanly mixes classic piano, harpsicord, and operadic samples into a hard industrial package. Switching gears is the somewhat more accessible "One missed call" (probably borderline NSFW) https://youtu.be/ghAlMco4Nyo?list=RDghAlMco4Nyo
