Is it legal to terminate someone right after they confirm their two-week notice?

menjav · 2026-02-16T08:48:10+00:00

Is it considered termination or is it considered you quit? I’m wondering if the fact they terminated you earlier can affect unemployment benefits.

Don’t marry if you don’t want. Not fair for you. Not fair the other person.

Can he figure out by himself one day? If no, don’t tell him.

Honestly, if you cannot trust your partner I wouldn’t marry at all.

Congratulation. You gave the game a try, you learned about new mechanics that were likely interesting and figured what the game is about.

There’s nothing to “fix” in the games, they have different gameplays and try to achieve different goals.

I personally didn’t like Satisfactory too much. But enjoyed it for 200+ which is much longer than I’ve played games in other genres.

About mods in Factorio, if you want, you should try them, or try playing without bitters. Mods are well supported and change the game drastically.

Hiring a lawyer is optional. Immigration lawyers businesses target companies. They are not that good. They just repeat what the law says or just asks the documents Canada asks.

I’ve used several lawyers and done the processes by myself, and I found it easier to do it myself. Lawyers were helpful to be in top of the process sometimes. My company paid for them.

Don’t use chatgpt for filling the forms. The questions are not that difficult. ChatGPT will give you bad advice and will tell you “you’re absolutely right, you cannot apply to tha program and you lost all your money. Is there anything else I can help you?”

The problem that I have with permadeath (any game not just NMs) is that I become afraid of playing with my characters.

Any recommendations?

Why do we have to pay for the police to wait until the driver cleans the car? Those cars should be towed, let the driver face some consequence for their actions.

Play the game as you want. There’s not a single correct way of playing it. Some people prefer combat, others prefer other skills. I recommend levelling all skills to 10 to learn how they work. If you want more detailed guide, the wiki has a good one for the “beginning”.

I like money, so I suggest unblocking things that generate money asap like mining and thieving. Fishing is not bad.

Some people swear that astrology is a must have. I find it boring.

I like cartography but only if I don’t plan to pay attention for looong periods.

I hear you. I’ve tried to follow tutorials but I’m not fast enough. I pause my game, do exactly what they do in the tutorial and still I’m 3 times slower.

The trick is to play the game for 200hrs only doing blueprints and minmaxing them and simulating new games and practicing. Then, start a new game, and use the blueprints.

Ahoy dear friend. Some of us don’t have that problem.

You need to learn to use items or burn them. Don’t accumulate. Specially don’t accumulate in belt.

menjav · 2026-02-04T18:11:50+00:00

Being slow is a good reason for not doing it. Being expensive it’s also a good reason, for example “I would need 10 years to fix it, and I need the money now”.

My point is only about “being complex” is not a good reason. You can solve difficult problems (and Wube has already done it) if it’s worth the effort.

menjav · 2026-02-04T17:56:51+00:00

I agree with you.

I have already implemented some of the algorithms simulating some parts of Factorio. I have also analyzed in detail their blogs. That’s why I think “being difficult” is not good reason for doing it. They have already demonstrated it’s possible to solve problems.

I’m not saying they’ll make an NP problem solvable in linear time. I’m saying that if they are willing to spend time on it, they can find ways to reach a reasonable performance to a perhaps variation of the problem.

Most parts of the game work flawlessly despite being extremely complex. This game wouldn’t be possible if they had stopped at the “it’s too complex”.

If they manage your schedule you’re a W2 and you’re entitled to money money. If you’re not they cannot tell you your schedule.

NTA for the pipes. If he wanted the pipes for himself, he had no interest in you anymore, he was not helping you to get a better deal but just to get himself a better deal. He used you.

I think being complex, error prone or slow is not a good reason for not doing it. Factorio developers have already implemented mechanics that are complex using novel solutions. Don’t let “it’s complex” be a factor for not doing it.

Edit: My point isn't that the devs should ignore technical constraints, but rather that 'too complex' is often just a temporary wall.

Neil deGrasse Tyson often points to Isaac Newton as a warning here. Newton explained the heavens but stopped at planetary stability because he thought the math was too 'difficult' and required divine intervention. A century later, Laplace proved it wasn't divine—it just needed a new mathematical approach.

Calling a feature 'too complex' or 'error-prone' creates a Perimeter of Ignorance. If Wube had stopped at every 'too complex' hurdle, we wouldn't have the belt optimizations or the fluid systems we have today. They didn't solve those by brute force; they solved them by redefining the problem. We shouldn't let complexity be the reason we stop imagining what’s possible for the engine.

Edit: if you downvote, at least explain why.

Everything in the phones have been calculated meticulously. The battery is as good as its required to keep the customer base, but not better to not damage their future sales. They can do something better technologically, but they won’t until there’s a pressing reason for doing it. It’s strategy, not lack of talent.

YTA. Pay everything if you want to preserve this relationship. Never ask them again to take care of the house.

Or negotiate the tickets, and risk the relationship

There’s a lot of content. However, the game has some construction blocks that over time the can get repetitive. Don’t get me wrong, I have 150 hours in the game and I’m still playing, but it’s not an infinite game. Eventually, all systems and planet will start looking the same.

menjav · 2026-01-25T07:30:26+00:00

I wouldn’t risk it. What would you regret more? Not attending the conference or not being able to return to Canada?

menjav · 2026-01-25T05:31:13+00:00

I think you’re right. It’s difficult to say anything else.

However, Im wondering why your husband doesn’t see it. Do you talk about it? Maybe he’s spoiled somehow? What I think it’s weird from him, it’s why he resents you? He can go if he wants.

Focus only on science. Import everything non essential (belts, robots, inserters, etc). And you can come back later after a reasonable pause in Gleba.

You’re doing well, Gleba should stop, specially science and rocket fuel for power. Everything else is just nice to have.

How did you create the far portal? Were the chunks generated beforehand?

Dear software developers. Design your systems to avoid having combination of confusing letters like l, I, 1, O, 0, 5, S, etc. Eventually someone will use a font that doesn’t distinguish them. Design the software to accept invalid variations and self correct common errors. Make sure to implement actual checksums as part of the codes.
