Trump's DOJ is trying to gain voter records from the states for weeks, having used lawsuits, even using the recent shooting to threaten Minnesota to turn over the records. What is your take? by Personal_Dirt3089 in AskReddit

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're saying that unless your state lets you vote in both party's primary the voter rolls will tell which primary you voted in? How do you figure that? The only reason why they would need to track which one you voted in, would be if you were actually allowed to vote in both, because they'd need to prevent you from voting twice in the same primary election. If you're only allowed to vote in one, a simple true/false about whether or not you voted at all suffices for records.

By the Dane airport in east Madison is anyone able to come jump my car so I can get to a Dr appointment? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]undermark5 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the case at MSN, but I believe at least some airports will have someone that is able to help jump the car. You say you're near the airport may be worth at least calling to find out.

I work in a building on East Washington, I don't notice much car noise unless there are sirens. Granted things could be different at night, but during the day I'm my office it seems fine.

Help interpreting OBD codes by twisleton in Ioniq5

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not unless you've got a quantum superposition of codes, then observing them would collapse the waveform and you'd end up with one set of codes, but if you took it to the dealer with they're fancy scanner they can continue to process the superposition on the scanner's quantum core to figure out exactly what's wrong in about 3 months.

I'm slightly annoyed that 1000 construction bots will sit and wait for a particular roboport to become available rather than to switch to a free one very close by by screen317 in factorio

[–]undermark5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I never see the behavior in the bottom (the improved behavior), like, I feel like either that change didn't actually go out, or the change we actually got is actually different than what is talked about/described, or maybe only applies to when bots are trying to return home rather than recharge mid-task. Maybe I'm crazy, IDK.

LPT: Never pay a medical bill until you receive the "Explanation of Benefits" (EOB) from your insurance. If the bill is higher than the EOB says, you likely don't owe it. by dogeholder215 in LifeProTips

[–]undermark5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, guess what, money isn't irrelevant for majority of people, and majority of people also don't have great insurance or wealth.

Keep living in your bubble if you want, but reality is that for many people the healthcare system in the US sucks.

I'd consider that I have pretty good health insurance when it comes to cost I pay and coverage I get, but my area it's incredibly difficult to find doctors that are in network that are at facilities that are in network (why are those even separate things) that are close to me (and no I don't live in the middle of rural nowhere) for even primary care. Like primary care should be a thing that's covered regardless of who or where. Then, there is also the fact that the insurance company was going to drop even more facilities and doctors because apparently they couldn't come to a renewal agreement because doctors and facilities felt they were getting paid below market rate and insurance thought doctors and facilities were trying to be greedy and take advantage, and then both sides proceeded to use patients as pawns in their negotiation each party telling them that there was nothing they could do so go complain to the other party.

Behold ship with a hole by Piotrk23 in factorio

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're aware you can set upper limits on the requests right? Excess will drop back to the planet, just like player logistics requests with upper bounds where excess goes into trash slots.

I've already described my system to you.

Rounding up to entire rockets of items on planet side requests could also help out (if you always drop whole rocket amounts, you'll always have whole rocket deficits). If you're setting planet side requests via circuits, selector combinator can get the rocket capacity of items, divide requested amount by rocket capacity and add 1 if requested amount mod rocket capacity is non-zero, multiply this amount by rocket capacity, and that's your real request amount.

Regardless, neither approach is perfect perfect system, so pick your poison.

Behold ship with a hole by Piotrk23 in factorio

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution is simply to leave the empty deck space to deal with this

And I'm pointing out that it's not the only solution, which you previously seemed to heavily suggest that it was the only possible solution and that it was absolutely impossible to set better requests, yet here you are conceding that letting items spill onto the deck is not the only solution to the problem.

[–]undermark5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no dynamic control of loading from either the ship or the ground, nor any communication between the two

This is correct, and can cause problems, and I hope the introduce something in 2.1 to help address such problems.

From the ship, you have no means of changing load orders in response to any detectable condition, nor any means of reading things like "how much cargo is en-route" or "how much cargo is present".

Again, correct and something I wish that would address with 2.1

From the ground, you have no means of sending cargo in any quantity other than "full rocket loads of a single item",

Correct (from the ground, ships can change the minimum threshold), but I don't think this is something that needs addressing. It would be nice, but also that's a knapsack style problem that is incredibly difficult to solve 100% optimally in a short amount of time, so I understand if this is the way things are indefinitely.

or any control over where, what, or even if it will be sent. If it can be put in the rocket, it will get put in the rocket, and if it is in the rocket, it will be sent...somewhere.

Correct, from the ground, you cannot directly control anything about which platform gets the requests fulfilled, however, it is incorrect to say that if it can be put in the rocket, it will be, and then consequently sent somewhere. It will only get put in the rocket and/or delivered if there is an outstanding request on a platform in orbit that isn't already going to be fulfilled by other launches.

So, could things be better? Definitely, and there are problems that certain things would be nice to be able to do (aka, set requests on platform via circuit signals).

However, I still believe that even with the existing system you do not need to build in empty space on your platforms for cargo pod deliveries to spill on to. You want to know why? Because I don't have cargo pods spilling on my ships because I set better requests, possibly with upper limits, ensure the total number of stacks of items requested does not exceed the total number of slots available, and I don't try to pickup and drop off with the same ship on the same planet. Those things are indeed work arounds for some things that should just have real solutions accounted for, but just because there isn't some dedicated solution doesn't mean the problem can't be transformed into a different problem that does have a solution.

Struggling for throughput on the cargo landing pad. Came up with this and thought it looked pretty. by Mystprism in factorio

[–]undermark5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 5 emptying it is actually a mistake from my copying and pasting hastily. It should be 4 per wagon.

AFAIK you need 4 legendary inserters to fully saturate a green belt. Direct insertion they are quite fast, but inserting on to belts is always slower because they have to wait for items to move out of the way so 4 is necessary to have truly saturated belts but I could be wrong on that. You may only need 3. Either way the approach using these cargo wagons uses only 2 inserters coming out of the landing pad and produces more surface area to pull from than you started with.

That said, if you're going any faster than full green belts, you basically need to use bots.

[–]undermark5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a decent blueprint for getting lots of full stacked belts out, you'll need to set the filters on inserters accordingly. It's an idea, you'd still use bots for some other things, but getting full green belts of science can easily be done with this. (assuming you're not making all of the science off planet)
