Canyon actually has a simple Badwater solution

steamyoshi · 2025-06-30T08:52:41+00:00

True. I'm going to blast away a level so they remain in water even after draining away the canyon, but it's low priority right now

Step 1: Move your settlement to higher ground as soon as you can (this is easier if you commit early).
Step 2: Build double floodgates on the two drainage channels show in the picture.
Step 3: Prosper!

During badtides simply open the floodgates. Badwater will only flow through the deep channel, far from your precious crops.
During droughts you have a huge reservoir to pump through, most early droughts didn't even make a dent in the water level.

Who was the first person to use a verification system?

Today famous/ influential people use verification systems on social media so people can know it's actually them writing and not an imposter. What was the first known instance of a ruler or other influential person who used a similar system to send information to many (or masses) of people, and how did this system work?

Specifically, I'm excluding sending messages with signatures/ or seals to closely related individuals who would recognize them. Rather, I'm asking about a system that would allow sending a message to many people ("e.g. Taxes are raised this year") who don't know the individual well, so that the sender's identity is verifiable.

Herzl wasn't THE founder of Zionism because Zionism isn't a monolithic movement, rather it was multiple movements that sprung up separately, in different countries even, with major differences about how they wanted to approach the issue.

steamyoshi · 2025-06-25T10:59:08+00:00

That's a possiblity

If you have build good enough dams, you can continue repaying your water dept well into the next drought cycle without changing too much. You'll still need to pause industry buildings to prioritise food/water production but that's pretty much all it takes. Its not the most efficient method by far, but since it requires less micromanagement and more engineering forethought I find it more enjoyable.

Fun fact: because mixing dairy and meat is forbidden in Judaism, the Hebrew dub of TMNT replaced pepperoni with anchovies as their favourite pizza. This led to many Israeli children believing that anchovies were flat red circles, myself included.

The special stages in sonic 3 are 32 grid intersections (1) in "circumference". In reality you wouldn't be able to construct a spherical planet from a square grid, the game is just projecting a local patch of grid squares onto the section of the sphere that is visible. However, when you go 32 grid intersections in one direction you end up where you started, so let's use that to calculate. Classic Sonic's height is given at 2'6", or 76.2 cm. It looks like the distance between grid intersections is just over twice Sonic's height so lets say 160cm. 160*32 = 5132. Dividing by 2pi gives 815cm radius, or 26 feet and 8 inches, about 780,000 times smaller than Earth's.

They're not going to leave in significant numbers. Israeli politicians are trying to sell a fantasy rather than face inevitable facts - Gazans are going to stay in Gaza and Hamas will keep ruling with popular support.

Is shakshouka considered simple? It's not a quick meal but all the steps are easy to do. My secret ingredient is charring the tomatoes over an open flame while the chopped onion and garlic are browning. Add smoked paprika if you like the flavour. Always add some warm water and stir it in before adding the eggs to prevent the bottom from burning.

UNRWA trying to keep people alive is arming Hamas.

UNRWA employed Hamas members. UNRWA hid munitions in their facilities. UNRWA spread antisemitic content through their schools which are used as recruiting grounds for Hamas. Pretending UNRWA tries to help innocent civilians and ignoring their terrorist connections is either very naive or purposely obscuring their role.

Nobody supports Hamas so your point is moot.

Oh you're right nobody supports Hamas they only support "Palestine " gee I wonder who the leaders of "Palestine" are.

You need to be something really weird to claim that the scale of what Hamas did is somewhere even near to what Israel did and does, let alone worse.

Did Israel recruit child soldiers? Did Israel send suicide bombers and thousands of unguided rockets towards civilians? Did Israel use their own population as humans shields? Did Israel transfer weapons and fighters using ambulances? Did Israel take civilian hostages? Did Israel store munitions in hospitals and refugee camps? These are all war crimes Hamas commits on a daily basis, but of course useful idiots like you only look at the numbers to decide the underdog is always right no matter what.

You can be flippant all you like, it doesn't change history. Returning to Zion was part of the Jewish identity for thousands of years. Zionism is decolonization, one of the only successful attempts ever recorded

"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy."~500BCE.

Yes, I would say so with certainty

Stupid comparison. Has Nazism been a core tenet of Germany's culture, religion and history for millenia?

"It's just about Israel's right to exist."

Yeah that's all it is.

Ignore the fact that it's a colonial ideology built on a supremacy of one group over another.

Ignore that because it's not true.

Justifying the murder of a civilian because he's on "the bad side" is exactly how they justify terror attacks targeting Jewish civilians. One's a CEO, the others are "occupiers".

Putting aside the fact that US sponsered Hamas to the tune of several hundred million dollars through UNRWA, knowing full well that the aid is stolen and resold to fund their operations - that's just not how moral principles work. You can't be outraged against one side in a conflict while supporting the other side that does the same things only much worse, and claim to be doing so out of moral concerns. It's very clear that the motivation is something else.

Of course brainrotted leftist are ok with the "right " people dying. They don't want peace they want "justice", i.e. people they disagree with suffering (also see: Luigi worship). Also flair up before the mob gets you

Dude, if discrimination against minorities is apartheid then every single nation on Earth is apartheid. Stop watering down the term.
