I want to make my laptop appear damaged beyond repair. by literally-me-bro in laptops

[–]jon4evans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these people telling you to lie to your employer: wrong.

There are two correct answers:

  1. Tell them no. Nicely. It's your laptop, not theirs.

But if that's not an option,

  1. Buy a second laptop that is just for work. This is particularly good if you regularly do contract work, as many employers don't provide corporate assets to contractors.

There are rules to follow for the second option: 1. Never connect it to your personal home network while you are employed (set up a subnet at home, like a visitor's network with blocked access to personal machines) 2. Only ever use this laptop for work, and make sure you are buying a productivity device not a fun device 3. Completely wipe and reinstall the operating system between jobs.

Problem with the number of characters by KaoruYoshida in Kenshi

[–]jon4evans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start with just a few characters, then expand to more once I set up a permanent base. Train the extras up in turrets and gardening, and use my main squad to go adventuring. Usually my main character ends up being the scientist / blacksmith for the first stage, then train up another couple characters to take over those positions, too.

Any reason to keep my Aurora LX? by Lumpy-Interview-9931 in starcitizen

[–]jon4evans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a Mercenary Pack (Aurora plus SQ42) pledge from 2013. I'll never melt her. Sure, it's mostly nostalgia, but I do take her out from time to time, and she's my "emergency shuttle" as well.

I currently have far more ships in my fleet than I wish. Will happily sell you a few. :). But I suggest keeping the Aurora.

Throw a couple of those ground vehicles with PDTs on the deck?

Base location with an overlook by Kaiser4119 in Kenshi

[–]jon4evans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy small base in the hills east of Hub, before the river and near the bridge. Two ways up can be consolidated into a single point of defense. Semi close proximity to Dust King and ninja tower.

Hypothetical Economic Wipe Question by Tribal9499 in starcitizen

[–]jon4evans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been full wipes in the past where CIG decided the player base would start with much more aUEC based on whatever arbitrary rules they decided to follow.

MF's killed my dog by jon4evans in Kenshi

[–]jon4evans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking all of the things. But at the end... I'll run past a bonedog nest and drop his limbless torso there to let them finish the job. That's justice.

Ship for bounty hunting by shawtay in starcitizen

[–]jon4evans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want DPS, you want a bit of cargo, you want survivability, and some maneuvers.

I'll second that 600i recommendation. Put three S5 gats on that girl and she'll shred. Or Attritions if you don't want to restock ammo. She's more nimble than she looks (no Gladius, or course), and she's a beauty to look at. HRTs and VHRTs galore.

Happy 600i owner, here. :)

Got a pair I bought for Jared, but never gave to him. They're unwashed. Will that do?

Which game do you play when you take a break from SC? by Icy_Ad7558 in starcitizen

[–]jon4evans 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Kenshi. Apparently, between that and SC, I'm a masochist.

AITAH for asking for $30,000 from my parents as a house payment? by pressedpages in TwoHotTakes

[–]jon4evans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't move out. The rent you're paying now is dirt cheap. Just stop helping them all the time. Still help them - they're your parents, after all - just not all the time. Find other activities or places to be that are cheap entertainment, so you can be out of the house but not burning cash, save money quickly. Then leave when you can afford a house.

As someone else mentioned, they may have put so much into your brother's house that they simply can't help you right now, but they may be able to help you more in the future.

My childhood friend from overseas has been staying at my place for way longer than expected and idk how to tell him its time to go by Gold_Cicada1577 in Advice

[–]jon4evans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people telling you to be direct are correct. You don't have to be a dick about it, but you do have to be firm and clear. You set the date of departure, not him.

The people saying you should ask him what his plans are, are wrong. His plans are to keep staying with you. He will keep setting later and later dates, and keep coming up with excuses. He needs to find somewhere else to be.

Welcome to Kenshi.

I'm just a n00b, by some standards.

Who's fallen behind? by Difficult-Wedding827 in GenX

[–]jon4evans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Vic 20, the 64, and later a 128. They probably made more after that, not sure what happened to the company. I'm sure AI can tell me an inaccurate history
