Before rare panels I had to disable two smelters. It still worked but was slow as heck to restock.

Of course! I retrofitted it to blue belts right after posting the picture, but here it is:

EDIT: I don't have access to fix this now, but I noticed I somehow managed to remove a green cable going from the hub to the ✔️ decider combinator's input. That needs to be added for it to understand it has enough ammo, sorry :)

I'd recommend the following changes to use it with cheaper tech:

• Remove two thrusters to put less load on the turrets
• Change inserters to yellow - it does not need anything faster
• Remove two smelters to work reasonably with regular panels
• Reduce to yellow belts - it does not need anything faster
• remove walls and supports on the sides to reduce cost - all the potential problems hit the front

Notes on usage:

• If setting up automation, the decider logic will give you a ✔️=1 signal to indicate it is fueled up and has enough ammo for a return trip
• If you have less bullet damage research than I did, consider reducing it down to one thruster
• If it's still struggling with production on Fulgora orbit, just make it return after 30 seconds or so - it has enough bullets stockpiled to get back

Apart from the pure gameplay balance aspect, the artillery cannons are made from tungsten alloys to make them wear resistant. Earth has naturally occuring tungsten, Nauvis doesn't. :)

It's fine! Been making 30 fully automated round trips so far. :)

Fuel tanks are exactly enough. Solar is running a bit weak in Fulgora, but it is enough for production to run so it refills itself.

Yes

Shit I have 1.5 hours left and I just got to Vulcanus

They are there on the odd chance that a small asteroid manages to sneak past my turrets. A smashed wall is easily replaced, but a smashed part of infrastructure is disaster.

Nice! My first-ship mistake was to fill it to the brim with engines, so it faceplanted every single asteroid at light speed before the guns could handle them or even reload

I solved it by going triple overkill with turrets and ammo stockpile during parking.

Keep in mind that you, along with everyone else, know very little all in all.

The things you do know will be important to you, naturally. Their understanding and their importance will also feel obvious, also naturally.

So anyone not knowing these obvious important things will instinctively feel like an absolute idiot to you.

This is a mental trap. Try to avoid it. The less respect you have for others, the less able you will be to really listen to other standpoints and learn from them, leading to a vicious cycle of alienation.

Tech guy here.

This is a tech-flavored smokescreen to avoid responsibility for misapplied law enforcement.

If I were a scammer, I'd want to attract marks who are A) greedy, B) gullible and C) think they are smart.

I'd go for Elon's fans yeah.

The same board of directors who put him there are in charge. The same corporate culture that let him push these decisions is still in place. The same critical mass of people in leadership who would care enough to block such crap still don't work there.

While we were very reasonable, we understand that you just didn't get it, which made you sad. We understand it feels bad to be sad. To remedy this, we will try again using different words.

We need more like her who take the threat as a threat and act like it's a threat.

Being "serious" or calm about it is not working, and catastrophically so.

Sabine Hossenfelder, used to love her takes on physics until she fell in the usual expert's trap of believing she can talk equally usefully about things OUTSIDE her expertise.

First trans care, which missed a few important nuances. Then autism, which had a decades-old perspective and was at best "not informative".

Then hoo boy Capitalism where she made a huge tangled MESS confusing and conflating markets with monetary systems and credit, all apparently based off half-remembered textbooks from 1950 using long-disproven historical claims.

A lot of criticism was sent her way. None was acknowledged, or apparently taken to heart. Repeatedly.

From skillfully presenting physics with a "explain it like I'm 5" style, she's now spouting any trending topic in a "explained by a 5 year old" style.

Using 1,454,942 maximum size and minimum error correction QR codes in alphanumeric mode (byte mode is a lie) to store Base64-encoded binary data, you get roughly 4,687,823,124 bytes. 4.6 GB. If the cards are two-sided we get 9.2 GB.

Minimum size of Windows 11 installer image seems to be 8 GB, so it checks out!

Please let it have a cute little McDonald's antenna, instead of there being a McDonald's sign in the background.

Then why do they need to be ruled by Moscow?

Where's the harm in taking violent criminals, giving them a year of practice doing war crimes, traumatize them up a bit, and then releasing them into civilized society?

But doctor, I am the guy who really likes to talk about linux

Zero notice, zero rights, immediate lockout, zero dignity. The kind of firing that breaks at least 8 laws in most European countries.

Let's see if they can outcompete The Escapist's new series: Zero Employees

He refused to sign an NDA, so he explains briefly in the Twitter thread, and we'll probably hear more later.

In short: Sudden firing (as in, locked out of Slack and email while at work while being informed of being fired) for not "meeting goals", where goals were not clearly defined.

Add the entire population of Denmark. Country is dead flat yet you can't see one city from another one. Nor can you see the mountains of neighboring countries.

Kojima, the driving force of Metal Gear is gone. What is left is a corporate committee who through focus testing and guesswork try to keep the franchise on the road roughly in the same direction it has been going and avoid crashing into stuff.

They will make any new version look and feel as much as possible as the previous games, only deviating for committee-approved reasons of monetization, trend chasing, or marketing appeal.

What they will not and can not do is to strap a rocket to the roof of Metal Gear Solid, take a hard right and drive the car off the road and into the hills and launch it over Mount Everest. They don't have the will, the auteur ability, or the trust of the fanbase.

Kojima could do that, which is what made the franchise what it is today.

MGS is dead, but Konami owns the pelt. What comes out next is just taxidermy with animatronics.

• Putin makes a big deal out of how fighting in Ukraine is by volunteers and contained so that "regular russians" are safe. This fight goes on in areas defended by conscripted soldiers, breaking that safety layer.

A lot of the time, people hear about Burning Man in the context of which privileged asshole grifter attended it. Elizabeth Holmes, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc other billionaires or influencers... And it is described as "tech bros' favorite party" in the media.

So, given that impression of it, I can see how the default reaction to it failing is unsympathetic.

Northern Europe perspective: This was a minor but ongoing part of public discourse until well into the 90s, to my recollection.

It didn't take real root, and my theory of that is that our racists are generally fascists who consider physical strength and fitness to be high values. Intellect and arts are for weaklings. Going into detail on how the Africans had an advantage on speed, strength and agility but were still somehow inferior required too much mental gymnastics.

Do not assume that most people in a corporate management structure work towards company profit. Having people under you makes you powerful and helps your career.

As a career-hunter, I convince corporate leadership that I can re-architect their dying and mismanaged software if I get a team of 20 cheap outsourced devs and four years. It will be everything the old system was plus several new and innovative ways to capture the market. This is not remotely possible, but I manage to convince corpo that it is.

Everyone under me are doing bullshit work that will accomplish nothing, but we have SCRUM and promotions and time tracking and all the toys in the box to distract everyone.

After four years, I have lead a department of 20 people successfully for four years, which gives me momentum to move up the ladder.

Or maybe the thing is killed in mere two years, and I can fail upwards. I dared to dream and I managed a deparment for two years and am the right person to do New Thing X.

Suleman, the teenage student, was terrified of the dive but ended up going with his dad because he trusted him and it was the Father's Day weekend.

At 50 your hands finally heal from that injury at 45, so you can start punching walls at full strength again.

Whatever political stance he may hold, or whether he is conscious about it, he is an entrypoint.

His content is uncritical dogpile reactions and no-fact-checks perpetuating drama. Combined with zero effort community weeding.

While theoretically neutral, such hate cesspools are the culture that fuels the alt-right.

Like you love crackers, but love them even more with Nutella.

It's when two adults love each other very much, but they love each other even more with poop.

You could do the extreme minimum of preventing a fascist government.

Or you could complain that the extreme minimum doesn't have those chocolate sprinkles that you like and step aside for fascism.

Of course people will see that as supporting fascism.

My bank: "We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!"

...

"It's down 2%!"

This is not intended to be snide. It is a genuine question:

How do you know your idea is valid if you have no skills with which to evaluate it?

Italy literally invented fascism.

Hitler used to jerk off to pictures of Mussolini while building his movement.

Meta-answer: He really shouldn't. Using clever ideas to escape punishment was what caused him eternal punishment in the first place.
