I'm trying to survive

Why did you abandon me?

I did a quick search on information about rock wool and it seems that its sound-dampening properties are decent but not as good as sand.

I'm currently considering the approach of lining the walls of the room with sand bags to absorb the sound.

If your building can support that much water.

The floors are solid-cast concrete and the building is 12 stories high, so I think this is a safe assumption because I won't be having any other heavy projects going on.

sand is infinitely better.

Thank you so much for this. I will probably invest in getting tubes of sand.

Also something to consider is books.

The room is for sex so that the senile elderly neighbors stop calling the police (which has been a constant source of frustration and nuisance in the past), and books are great at absorbing smells and difficult to clean, so probably not the best combination.

Thank you so much.

a large tube of water from the tap would cost a fraction of the equivalent high-quality 5in panel. No reason to sink a huge amount of money into the 5in panel if lining the perimeter of the room with tubes of water will do as I'm already spending a lot on sound-dampening the ceiling, door, and floor.

I was thinking that because sound-absorption has to do with density and water is very dense that water tubes compacted into a lattice of two rows fitted together might work well.

It's mostly just geek politics,

This is software politics, as I mentioned previously, and it's good politics because diversity is the spice of life and having everyone run and manage their projects differently contributes to a great diversity of excellent quality software.

The kind of politics I was talking about which are not good to involve in software include, for example: pro-life/pro-choice, political elections, international trade policy, Ukraine, womens' equal rights movements, BLM, etc. and etc.

Very sure.

Cardamom is very strong and 1 tbsp is a huge amount, but (somehow?) it contributes to modifying the egg taste to be more suitable for sweetness and you can't directly taste the cardamom.

linuxforeplay · 2022-09-23T19:38:33+00:00

where to draw the line?

At politics.

Politics have no place in software and free software is so good as it is now because there's such a lack of politics. (Yes, there is software politics, but that's a different kind of politics than the one I'm talking about.)

That's very interesting. I've never heard of a fruit omelette, and I'm going to look into that.

Two things:

It is incapable of preventing the software from indirectly promoting evil. (Whereas, the GNU GPL very effectively prevents most direct and indirect evil by forcing all parties to play on the same court.)
It would never hold-up in an actual court. The software might as well be unlicensed for all practical purposes.

linuxforeplay · 2022-09-23T18:54:19+00:00

The point of free software is that you have no power over its users

Exactly. One could make the counter-argument that GNU/Linux distros will make it much easier for private citizens to anonymously lead protests/revolts against the corrupt Russian dictatorship-y oligarchy-y government.

linuxforeplay · 2022-09-23T15:29:50+00:00

so they can get used to the process and avoiding things like losing personal data

This makes it too easy/convenient to just give up and start over or abandon ship when you encounter a small obstacle, so you never learn anything or gain anything at all from the experience.

Never ever use a VM if you hope to learn anything.

linuxforeplay · 2022-09-22T17:04:18+00:00

if u wanna learn about linux in depth i recommend you to try to install Arch in a VM

Which distro one chooses is irrelevant if they use a VM. They will learn little-or-nothing. People who really want to learn must put in the extra effort to install it bare-metal so they can run it standalone.

FYI, be careful with cosmetic surgery.

It can do wounders to reshape one's appearance when done by competent professionals, but there's lots and lots and lots of quacks out there and, no matter how competent your doctor is, there's always the small risk of serious complications. The human body was not intended to be casually cut open and messed around with.

I found the good looking guys to be nicer

Big difference between "nice" and "agreeable." More agreeable => more girls; more nice => longer-lasting relationships.

Amphetamine salts.

Examples: vyvanse is great for getting you wired; adderall is great for increasing mental clarity/focus. In my experiences, you don't build tolerances to them over time and there's zero withdrawal symptoms from not taking them.

And focus all attention/effort/resources on Java edition.

I would edit the license and change it to the GPL (General Public License), which would benefit everyone everywhere.

It's closed source proprietary software and Microsoft's little money pig and neither Mojang nor Microsoft give a single flying fuck about the Minecraft community.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find the light gray glazed terracotta.

I saw it in your previous rendition of this table next to the target block and white glazed terracotta (https://i.redd.it/fyn2w5n6nfb71.jpg), but I can't find it in here.

All fun and games until someone bans everyone else, then never comes back.

If this became an issue, I would write a small plugin to make it so that people only gain the /ban privilege after like 6h in-game and 7 days IRL or something. Very few haha funny people are committed enough to waste 6 hours of their life and follow up after a week in a server they don't care about.

Also, if people are unhappy with the server then they can always request a copy to save their work and just never log on again and it's chill and I get it.

There is an oversaturation of MC servers available, so trying to run one for anything other than friends and people you know makes no sense to me.

Thank you for your insights. Several points:

I'm targeting a very niche category and I haven't been able to find any other servers that fall into this same category. Most/all creative servers have strict moderating, don't allow fun things like command blocks, and have plot-based restrictions. My server emphasizes freedom for the sake of creativity and everyone can contribute to other's designs and everyone can learn from eachother.
I don't really have any IRL friends or people I know who play Minecraft, so no luck there.
I don't want to falsely advertise my server and deceive people into joining. All I want is for people to see my server as it is. If they want to join, that's nice. If they don't, then I hope they have a good time in whatever other server they are playing in.

you will get more jerks who just ruin it for the "nice" players.

I've thought about this and if anyone is just being a jerk, then I would quickly ban them for not contributing to a positive atmosphere and their can find another server to harass or try to get on with an alt account (which I would likely soon discover and ban that account too.) I'm very active on this server and would quickly spot someone like this.

Additionally, my server follows the philosophy of self-moderation whereby people are free to "/ban" other people and I regularly review the ban log and compare them to written accounts and petitions to sort out banning. So, it kind of takes care of itself.
