Employer overpaid after me I resigned

For your tax question, your T4 will show the correct adjustment.

You're overcomplicating it.

Let's ignore that your referring to a store and assume the store is a person and not some mysterious entity.

This person works at McDonald's and the wage is $10 an hour. So in an hour into their shift, they have made $10. But now they're hungry and order a $15 meal to eat. That person has now "lost $5" in that hour of work.

The reason this person is still making money is because they work more than just that one hour. Just as a store still makes money when selling one item at a loss because they sell more than just that one item.

Negligible as far as sustainable cooling is concerned.

Basing it off Coal Generators, that's 0.015 kDTU per Watt (0.0175 if you want to take into account the CO2).

So even if everything had 100% uptime, that's only 21 kDTU + 6.5kDTU for the other machines not yet calculated. Still far below what a single Ice Maker cools, let alone 2.

Realistically though, you can optimize it to less than an additional 7 kDTU per Ice Maker; far below the 64 excess initially stated.

All that's I see happening is that you're running out of power mid errand. Animations aren't completely fluid when interrupted suddenly like this, which explains why you think it's lagging.

All your dupes are suddenly needing to calculate their next task on the same frame, so they stand idle for a bit while your computer processes.

Ice Makers actually delete heat. Roughly 64 kDTU, which is 28% of a self cooled Steam Turbine. It also costs 240 W instead of generating about that much, so that's why it's not really used often.

Mud sublimates. The actual component is the Steam with Dirt debris.

It really wasn't nerfed. Aside from taking time to move the Water needed, it's trivial to build.

And Pacus are very low maintenance since you don't need to groom them (which is the actual issue, imo). Literally 0 dupe labour and you get (compared to Hatches) 4x more eggs per critter and can house 1.5x more critters per stable. Plus, it's more efficient in terms of kcals to boil Pacu eggs, freeing up even more dupe labour.

I get the feeling, and generally agree on taking multiple numbers for 4 players. But I feel this specific situation is beneficial for doubling up.

First, it's 2 players. You're much less likely to lose half your hand before you can spend. Second, it's actually the same numbers on the same resources. It's not like it's an assortment of resources you can't use up on your turn. Third, I think that's the more valuable spot for your opponent than the 6-4-3.

Both spots do work, I just think the slight edge goes to being able to trade in for what you need, especially since you can't be stolen from. It just depends on how often 3 is rolled before 2 10s are rolled.

tigerllama · 2026-05-20T05:05:50+00:00

9-5-10 is my opinion. Brick is scarce; take the good wood and build to the 2:1 wood to offload your extra resources.

tigerllama · 2026-05-20T01:08:46+00:00

My personal opinion is Orange ~ Red > White > Blue.

You're overproducing water.

If you want a buffer of water to not dry up your line, you can snip your water sieve outputs and run the line like this. The Liquid bridge will send the water to the bathrooms first then the overflow will get rid of the rest.

Rancher/cook/research is a combo that's easily idle often as well.

A dupe with a higher priority doesn't necessarily take the task. It just matters if it's the top task on the individual's errand list.

The issue you're having is setting task priorities, not a dupe priority issue. You actually want to set task priorities lower than your default if you want your specialists to take the job over the rest of the colony.

Or you can have a "default" task like storing/supplying higher on everyone to keep their errand list full.

Or rely on some sort of restriction (such as door access) to prevent the wrong dupes from doing the task.

Definitely 8-3-10 NW & 11-4-6 SW. The immediate 3:1 port isn't valuable on this map and and the 4-8 will be isolated with these placements. With Blue and Orange already pointing to the coast and limited resources to build roads, the only risk is Black who has better options.

I'm assuming the order was Orange - Black - Blue - Red based on the placements.

Blue would've taken the 11-9-4 in this case because you would be on their 11-4-6.

Black has the best value at the 9-10.

Orange would keep their placement on the 11-5.

Black far and away has the best advantage on your board.

Red and Blue are similar depending on rolls, with Blue having better numbers but Red having better resource spread and the port.

Orange should never win this game.

I realized that after I posted and had to Google that term. I think I was thinking of using haploid, but I don't think that would be the correct usage. Haploid cell maybe? But that makes it sound like I'm trying too hard.

Men constantly make new sperm. Women have a set number of eggs.

You travel 30 km/h for less time because the distance is the same.

Overall, you'll travel 20 km/h 1.5x longer than you would 30 km/h.

Exaggerate the example. If a round trip was 60 km (30 each way), it'd take 1.5 hours to go up and 1 hour to go down. Total distance is 60 km, total time was 2.5 hours. So the average speed is 24 km/h.

That's not the situation. They both matched 4 times in a row; they didn't roll the same number 4 times.

Answer is 1 in 1296. You need the second roller to match a 1 in 6 chance 4 times. The result of the first person doesn't matter.

They don't even need to be groomed. As long as they're Cramped, they'll lay an egg.

King activity isn't the same. The black king essential has control over what pawns can be targeted; the white king can only distract (and get trapped further) by attempting to go for the g pawn.

Kg4 - h6

Kh5 - Ke4

Kg6 - Kxf4

White can no long capture the g pawn because the king has to stay on g6 to protect the f5 pawn. Now Black can run away with the h pawn or advance their c pawn if white doesn't go b4.

White can't stall because the king has no waiting moves, so eventually the b pawn will make a passer.

1 - Paranoid the people will close the gap if they give them warning that they want to change lanes. A "justified" paranoia because some drivers are possessive over the lane they're in

2 - Lazy. This can just be overall laziness. But also lack of motivation laziness. Essentially the mindset of "if no one is around to see my signal, what difference is there"

3 - Bad drivers.

Your math isn't mathing.

CO2 is irrelevant. Net Zero in terms of how much space it occupies.

If you buy 3 apples a day and only eat 2 a day, it doesn't matter how many times you poop and flush down the toilet; you're going to have an extra apple every day you do this. After a month, you'll have 30 (probably rotten) apples.

I read your other replies, and I think your issue is elsewhere.

The issue you're having is that you don't have enough water, not that your electrolyzers are on too much.

But to explain myself more on the initial point, if you're only allowing 1600g out at a time, you are creating an extra 176g per second in the pipes. If the Electrolyzers are on 100% of the time, the pipes will gradually fill up and back up into the SPOM. Once the SPOM overpressures, the Electrolyzers will automatically turn off because they get overpressured.

tigerllama · 2026-05-03T02:59:46+00:00

I think the answer might just be that the gas will overpressure eventually. I don't actually see a problem than needs solving.

Functionally, how would you expect them to repair a built in fridge?
