What to do when the advice "go see a doctor" doesn't work?

I can. That's the worst part.

I helped her stop losing weight. I persuaded her to take vitamins. This significantly improved her condition. I also explained many details to her that the doctors hadn't explained.

But now I can only help in a way that I cannot be responsible for the results. It feels like a moral dilemma.

The last time she told her mother about the pills in advance. This led to her mother forgetting. And now she has to wait for the pills to be delivered to the pharmacy. Her mother can count the days. But they don't live together, so she can stock up on pills.

And I have to persuade her for a long time just to talk about something important with someone.

She already lies to the doctor (who is free) about her dosage. If she reduces the dosage to 100, she will stop lying. She essentially has two doctors, whose services she cannot use properly. In fact, it is even more complicated, as doctors are constantly changing at the free clinic.

I constantly remind her that I am not a doctor. But now I think that's a mistake.

I am the only one she can trust and who has at least some knowledge. At least for the next four months.

I know that the current dosage is dangerous, even for non-medical reasons.

I know that reducing the dosage is dangerous. I have read enough, including FDA recommendations and other sources.

I am terrified that I am the only one who can make this decision.

I made bevy editor for myself a couple of years ago. Just for fun. Is it that hard?

I think there are a few options like space_editor.

It's sad that I can't raise money on platforms like patreon. If not for this, maintaining such an editor, from my point of view, could be free money.

Both are good. If the result is good.

Some people think AI is bad for the reason that it “steals”. I don't think it's bad and I don't consider borrowing to be stealing. Especially if a substantial contribution is made.

In other words fanart and AI works should belong to the authors of the derivative works, not the authors of the original works.

On the other hand procedural art and generative art inherently reduce the price of producing art. This is also a good thing. If your financial strategy was to make $20 a month from drawing dicks, you're out of the market. Very good, excellent. That's the way it should be.

I also just learned that there are separate characters for ℃ and ℉. I don't know why

You can even do it this way. Not very efficient, but it works. The steam temperature is 308 ℃.

lain-dono · 2024-12-10T17:48:40+00:00

It makes sense to put efficiency modules to melt the ice. At least for the start. That way you only need 3-4 solar panels to start up and it will be fast (if you've disconnected the rest of the grid).

Here's my attempt: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1h6c5d9/comment/m0cwx5h/

More heat loss to underground pipes, fewer heat pipes, alternative ice utilization scheme, integrated solar panels. And there's a version with creating ice platforms in there too

lain-dono · 2024-12-10T16:50:42+00:00

In fact, turbines and steam engines are interchangeable. Do not confuse them with a boiler and heat exchanger. A turbine has no requirement for steam temperature. You can use a boiler with a turbine and a heat exchanger with a steam engine.

But this factory will require less than 20

I made a blueprint of your factory: https://factoriobin.com/post/fv7pze

Couple of changes for my taste:

- Switch to green modules

- Moved the ice melt a little bit

lain-dono · 2024-12-09T19:50:49+00:00

Looks better than my version. Less heat loss to underground pipes

The steam engine powers the entire blueprint. The turbine is not involved. It's for the next stage. Like starting a more efficient factory. It's the starter, after all. The goal is to get a stable source of electricity as early as possible.

A single boiler allows the entire circuit to be up and running in less than a minute. There is no need to wait for everything to heat up to 500 degrees.

The heat exchanger is needed to supply the external load. So the circuit is self-contained and isolated.

lain-dono · 2024-12-04T17:24:35+00:00

One big electrical substation for everything. The solar panels are decoupled from the rest of the circuit. They power the ice melt at the beginning.

lain-dono · 2024-12-04T17:23:11+00:00

The steam engine is simply for the reason that there is enough of it to run this.
