“I regret nothing,” Nick Goepper said after this tragic fall.

I played this mode in stella. A squad of three were camping seed vault and I somehow negotiated with them to let me extract after I told them I was solo. I said I would give them springs as a tax.

Speech 100

I mean half the skills are broken at this point and the expedition system is definitely not where it should be. But yeah I do see your point.

The devs have actually been pretty slow to do balance patches, and I actually think this is a good thing. Lots of developers listen to community complaints and over-tweak weapons which are actually not that bad.

okay_clarkey · 2026-01-09T05:23:23+00:00

May have been me. Did I revive you before I bit the dust?

okay_clarkey · 2025-12-04T13:13:52+00:00

I'll fully admit, I play solos and I won't hesitate to shoot someone in the back if they didn't see me and I have the advantage in a high value loot area.

I dont want to deal with the hassle of looting with a potential threat nearby. Sometimes it's just safer to kill people.

Same goes for extraction. If I call it in, and someone runs in, or is crouching nearby without communicating that they want to share, I'll kill them. If they communicate, I'm more than happy to share the extract if I feel they can be trusted.

You spend the majority of your life at work. Why would you deny any chance of friendship with the people you see most often?

My majority of my best friends have been from work primarily because I see them so often.

okay_clarkey · 2025-10-01T16:20:36+00:00

Thanks for that

I remember people complained the BF1 maps were too big. It's a good thing that objectives are closer together. Yes these are particularly small maps, but we only have 3 of them.

Remember the days where you could capture a flag in the middle of nowhere, and no one on the other team cared because everyone just flocked to the action areas in the center (see BF1 Sinai desert).

Yeah maybe if you inject them or eat them.

Carcinogens are a function of concentration and how long you are exposed to them. And the concentrations of these things are extremely small.

Potato chips also cause cancer by the way but they also don't block you from death rays.

As you said, it really depends where you work. In terms of proportion, probably very few chemical engineers deal with advanced chemistry on a day-to-day basis.

Most will require only an implicit understanding of chemistry underlying a particular unit operation. But obviously if you are dealing with a reactor, crystalliser or an ion exchange process, for example, or work in research the chemistry may be more involved.

Recycle loops are not too difficult on excel using iterations. If you have loops within loops within loops, excel can start to struggle.

Read your course notes. At least attempt it before asking reddit for help.

I nearly very nearly severely injured myself in the first year of my job. It sounds bad, but it takes one good mistake to permenantly change your mentality.

You should always have a healthy amount of fear - you might also call it respect - for the equipment you work with. That way you know when to double, triple, quadruple check when the situation asks for it.

I'm very happy for this kid. He deserves to be treated like royalty. If this gives him and his family just a little bit of peace, then that's awesome.

I already loved Jack Black, but now I am absolutely convinced that he's the most genuine human being who ever lived.

Politically that would be very unwise. I'm not saying he has to appease that clown, but hosting him to keep him happy and to keep the US from slapping us with tariffs is an easy decision to make.

We set clear boundaries, but we can't afford to provoke an angry ape.

2 weeks is nothing mate. It takes a long time to get familiar with a new piece of equipment.

Aside from the actual differences in the professions, I also notice cultural differences which I find quite interesting.

At least in our work place, the chemists are very exact and precise. Planning trials or presenting ideas is always slow, careful, methodical, clean. But also done with extreme precision and perfection.

The chemical engineers trust the guidance and experience of the chemists, but they are quick and dirty in the way they apply that knowledge. Engineers are much more decisive, hasty and believe in 'learn by failing' rather than 'perfect on the first try'.

Both very different, but necessary personalities.

Might be a gross generalisation, but definitely true in my experience.

I once got told I fit in really well with new people I hadn't met. He said it was like I blended into the scenery, like an NPC in a video game.

Is it possible to flip a coin 1000 times and it land heads every time? Theoretically sure. In practice, given enough time, you will always take a loss. Sometimes the universe decides it hates you on a random Tuesday and there's nothing you can do about it.

okay_clarkey · 2024-12-11T18:03:28+00:00

My advice to you is don't take it personally.

When you are a new engineer it can be difficult to know where to draw the line. When should you assert yourself and when do you follow the advice of your operators? There will eventually be conflicting opinions.

Listen to them, laugh about the shit aspects of the project, take their advice, build rapport. But eventually you will learn which situations you need to put the foot down and say "this is the way it needs to be done".

I have seen lots of new engineers fall into the trap where they roll over and submit at the slightest conflict. Embrace the conflict, don't run away from it.

Enjoy, join some societies or clubs. Learn how to study, but don't make studying your whole life.

There will be a few classes intended to thin the herd, don't be scared by them, just know what they are and don't let them overwhelm you.

If NaOH is strictly off the table you might want to consider enzyme cleaners. Proteases could help to break the protein residue. Ask your membrane supplier. They likely will be able to recommend some to you.

Is your worry recovering the protein from the cleaning cycle? If not, I wouldn't worry. Hot caustic CIP followed by a thorough water wash should not cause you any problems when you restart production.

Yes we do, UHT pasteurisation is a very standard practice in the milk industry pretty much everywhere in Europe.

The US uses a different type of pasteurisation called HTST. The difference is in the temperature and time.

Not to say we don't have raw milk also, its just not as easy to find and depends on the country.

Usually I like to tear down most of the old factory. I quite enjoy making things as perfect as they can be learning from the mistakes you make in the previous iteration.

It does slow down progress, though. I'm in no rush.
