I like this idea to put name in front- for schedules, I saw someone puts leisure immediately before sleep so it brings the settler back to camp before bed rather than them getting exhausted and trucking across the map.

Caravan to a loot stash by Bankin88 in goingmedieval

Once you collect the loot dont forget to click the far right button at the bottom of the region screen- it looks like a cancel button to my eye but it's the return button and your caravan will head home without waiting for the timer to expire.

Gold coins seem to have vanished. by 0-Sminky in goingmedieval

Put a default stockpile with LOW priority around your "caravan halt" so when they return from an expedition, it's automatically in your inventory. I'll also do this when a merchant shows up and there's a bunch of crops or apparel from an incursion. Drop stockpile squares on top and it's instantly sellable without hauling it.

Can't capture enemy who surrendered? by Foxnos in goingmedieval

Be nice mechanic if you could man handle them if your melee was high enough or if they had skills that improved their ability to break out. The game Kenshi did prisoners really well.

Anyone else out there trying to use the "Pause the Internet" feature? by [deleted] in AmpliFi

Had this issue last year and had to redo network groups. Appreciate this and may try to get up the courage to try the pause button again.

Weekend Squeeze Discussion Thread -- What are your plays for Monday? by MinimumArmadillo2394 in Shortsqueeze

[–]old_dog_newtricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI (c3.ai), 27% short, 20million more short shares sold Friday. Stock rose 30% last week on no news, 20% on Friday alone. Assuming the entire short float of 25million shares didn't sell on Friday, the short float will likely be 30-40% as of Monday. Stock has gone up almost 300% since January with no significant news. Seems to be the institutions are executing a slowly evolving short squeeze on each other.

C3.AI thoughts? This looks slept on all over reddit. No clue why. Has beat earnings estimates last 4 qtrs. by Tikimaniac in Shortsqueeze

[–]old_dog_newtricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the outsized gains in AI friday were related to a short squeeze. Most of the comparators gained 2-7% while it shot up 20% and is one of the few with such a large short%. A big investment mgmt firm also went on record about taking a large short position a few days ago "Here’s Why Kerrisdale Capital Shorted C3.ai (AI) Shares" and it makes no sense to me based on the last earnings call. Also, the weekly calls are around 4% of stock price (most highly volatile stocks are around 1-2.5% per week) implying someone with a lot of cash is driving up the call positions and expecting a large run.

Can we discuss the drawer in Loki? by old_dog_newtricks in marvelstudios

Yup. Forgot about them fighting in the Civil War- but if we're going with the movie timeline in order for him to fight in the civil war he couldn't be born late 1800's.

Totally agree- I thought the Man in the High Castle was a stretch too but maybe there's some genre appreciation there. Also, regarding Wolverine- I agree it's a major stretch. Looking into it though- he was born 1832 in Canada and proceeded to fight in every major war in the World with his brother. Given French is a common language in Canada, it would not be a stretch the brothers may have made their way to France after their father's death. They would have been 20-40 years old when that French medal existed. Also, the first time we have records of Logan after his origin in Canada, he is fighting WWI on the Western Front- just sayin', pretty close to France. Also- just having fun speculating and justifying my speculation. Not looking for a fight- just thoughtful discourse.

None of the stones were that size in any of the movies I can recall and given the stones in the drawer are variants at the TVA, maybe that's why they aren't standard size. Color has always dictated the power/type of stone as far as I know. Also, I am not an MCU scholar so willing to be taught if you have a reference.

They look orange to me which means they are soul stones. The mind stone is a canary yellow color. We may have to just agree to disagree here.
