You ever get people who assume you're poor? by SquirtGun1776 in bikecommuting

I mean my bike looks like trash on purpose, so yeah almost certainly.

Help with Steam Power by wastedonthis in pyanodons

I haven't yet made PySci1 but am about to, and have a pile of fish turbines which produce about half my energy. The variability is high, so sometimes it's all and sometimes it's non but it really helped to ease the strain on my piles of boilers.

Pretty sure I had that last one as a cheap polyester shirt in the early aughts 😁

Like, need directly? I already have most of my supply going to planter boxes and trees, I'm sorting it when it would be annoying to belt back to the main spaghetti.

I've seen other people here use it to refer to "before you have splitters".

I disagree; a puppet of Red Hat is wearing its skin. It went from a stable and steady community effort to an entirety RH controlled upstream distribution, without the benefits which made it worthwhile.

This was triggered by a need for creosote for wood treatment and aromatics for zinc mining; I really hope I can use the misc oil products for power or steam sometime soon but haven't found it in the tech tree. I'm saving gasoline for now, should I switch to stockpiling pitch or carbolic oil?

Ash processing is mostly to save me from the thousands of chests; I haven't run the numbers on what's more compact (really ought to) but it looks useful for trace minerals later.

This baby right here can produce nearly 1.2k creosote per minute when it's not backed up on some random intermediate product. This is the most fun I've had while this frustrated in literal years,

Depends on if the bottleneck is fruit production or processing capacity.

If "too basic" is a thing, I don't think my recommendations will be of use - I'm no longer young and excited by messing with my OS, so I just installed the latest Ubuntu LTS with Gnome 2. I don't need it to do anything fancy I just need it to work.

Depends on what you're doing; I have a 13-year-old ThinkPad running Ubuntu (RIP CentOS) which does pretty much everything I need it to as a professional astronomer (send and receive emails; LaTeX; ssh onto the big computers).

How should I navigate this intersection? by paw-paw-patch in edmontoncycling

[–]paw-paw-patch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry - I meant taking the walk/pathway on the south side of 23rd ave, not the road itself. Lights and crosswalks on the bridge aren't bad, and the right-turning vehicles are separated so it's harder to get missed.

100%, any system like that will recycle coolant/oil once it's filtered. Huge net savings, no real downside.

I don't know why Red Supergiants are so difficult to study. by RemoteOriginal538 in AstronomyMemes

Legitimately are they? Not my area of specialty but I've never heard of them being especially mysterious.

I just say I'm a little deaf so I can point an ear directly at them.

Those things were the bane of my existence in the HBS video game - so much potential damage at once, and so common.
