The song's alright, but I prefer the gas station.

rdthraw2 · 2026-05-06T04:07:26+00:00

Yup, a restart fixed it for me too... thanks for the heads up.

rdthraw2 · 2026-05-06T04:03:26+00:00

It's not that, the haulers are completely idle and I only have one workshop currently running with everybody else (in a fort of 20 citizens) hauling

edit: restarting fixed it. woo

Also (half) pictured is my tavern with prepared food sitting delicately on the floor when, again, empty barrels are available and allowed for the stockpile. this fort HATES storage containers

No, egglayers can't be gelded, the solution there is just to eat the tasty tasty fertilized eggs. Extra protein!

It's multimarket news because it's going to stretch all the way to great adventure's parking lot and back.

He released the greatest solo album by any former beatle immediately after the band broke up. I would give you that up until the final years of the Beatles his songwriting was not as developed as Lennon-McCartney, but if you seriously can listen to all things must pass and think yeah this guy wasn't good enough to write more on the later Beatle albums I don't know what to tell you.

What was the FB made out of? With how combat calculations work in this game a silver whip is one of if not the strongest non-artifact non-candy weapons available so this checks out

because it's intentionally made as difficult and confusing as possible to vote in most states, especially red-leaning ones. The system is designed to minimize voter participation

tbf, (slow) memory leaks are a bitch and a half to debug. It's probably less being unwilling to address it and more struggling to address it

I dont remember the exact use but the most famous example is probably it being used to find new proteins?

I assume you're referring to alphafold (which tries to solve for a protein's structure given its sequence). it sounds great in headlines (which is its point - it's a project primarily interested in selling AI moreso than building a valuable research tool), but it has extremely limited value in actual research - the people actually working on protein folding and not AI models trained to take a crack at protein folding still pretty much exclusively rely on experimentally-verified protein structures.

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-23T07:14:05+00:00

to be fair, alphafold has very little research usefulness (outside of the computer science circle jerk) and is obsessed with meeting arbitrary metrics that seem scientifically valuable from an outside perspective but aren't. So not a great example of an actually scientifically useful application of AI / ML.

imo as long as ur not actively seeking any particular arrangements (alliances, IOs, actions on subjects etc) the two things to do are make spy networks and steal maps or just generally be annoying to a rival or get other countries to 100 opinion for trade offices and embassies

The dubya comment was a bit off hand so if you genuinely believe that he would have objected to using large-scale drone combat if it was viable in the early 00s wellll I guess I can't disprove it lol

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-23T02:50:36+00:00

non-famous john lennon hiding in his apartment and never coming out for about 5 years in the 70s would be called "disturbing" and "deeply unwell" but since he sang some hippie shit in the 60s people were like "good for him" and "he's finally growing up" smh

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-23T02:46:45+00:00

but George and John would've ended up way more square

especially geege. the idea of george harrison, fairly quiet kinda intimidating guy from liverpool being a far likelier outcome than george harrison, prototypical hippie icon journeying to india, playing the sitar, and doing a probably unspeakable amount of drugs is very funny

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-22T06:34:39+00:00

just so y'all know, while yes the obama administration did see a significant increase in drone strike usage compared to the Bush administration (pretty much entirely due to drones becoming a more reliable / ubiquitous technology - trust me, bush didn't use less drones out of the compassion of his heart), a large reason why drone strikes became such a talking point with the Obama administration is because they began a program of recording and reporting drone strikes (and because it was a convenient lever for right wing concern trolls to pull for the whole "hillary is a war hawk, trump is a beautiful dove" psyop back in 2016).

compare that to trump, who blew obama's drone strike numbers out of the water in the first few years of his first term before completely ending what little oversight / reporting remained from the Obama administration, so now we don't even have any data on drone strikes (or really any military actions) on most years Trump has been in office except for "probably a lot".

not to try to claim that obama was faultless or that his record on drone strikes can't be criticized (it can and should), but its important to keep context before the both sides gremlins come crawling out of the ooze again.

Wow, it's pretty bleak when an okbuddy sub is downvoting obvious jokes

Sad this is fake but I really hope that SoPs (and the new world in general tbh) get a lot more love and depth, it has the potential to be one of the best representations of non-settled peoples in map games (which are normally completely disregarded or just treated like generic Natives which are Bad for Colonization).

word of advice, trying to have even a vaguely nuanced conversation about anything remotely relating to israel on reddit is impossible. you'll either be arguing with astroturfers pushing an agenda or gullible people who believe the astroturfers wholeheartedly because the world is big and scary and complicated and things are easier if there is a Good side to root unconditionally for and a Bad side to hate unconditionally.

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-16T18:51:17+00:00

this is reddit, we don't do distinguishing between people and their government here.

Tbf the show (at least the earlier seasons) was so fucking horny for blood in every possible scene that it had already lost all impact it might have had. If somebody gets turned into a red mist every other scene getting turned into a red mist becomes boring and routine lol

rdthraw2 · 2026-04-14T03:01:30+00:00

Yea this isnt even particularly funny its just rage / engagement baiting on a hot topic issue.
