I suspect an oat bran OD would far from silent. :)

My chemistry phd friend often says “The poison is in the dosage”. For example you can overdose on water or other necessary substances.

I’ve played a lot of rimworld and I think the main problem with it is the developers solution to difficulty after the early game is just more and bigger raids.

Everybody starts building kill boxes to deal with raids being the only challenge after midgame. Developers response is new types of raids that bypass kill boxes (drop, breacher).

Give us some different threats or ways to mitigate raids like paying off raiders or building outposts.

For people wondering like me. He raised the money to buy her a new house. It was to piss off her religious neighbors that the athiest got a new house when they didn’t.

Martyrs tend to be symbols to a cause. Trump and maga don’t have much ideology it’s more a cult of personality. Those tend to go away when the central figure dies.

Honestly the best are ones that you enjoy. People pickup on the honest enjoyment of the activity and respond well to it.

That and base line social skills are all that are needed to make friends.

Doesn’t USB use manchester encoding like ethernet? So you have a consistent clock frequency it’s just weather the data edge is before or after the midpoint.

Yeah you didn’t have a risk of pressure popping the seal and flooding the electronics. Also if there was a leak in the box you knew about it before you put it in the water.

There was a not very good TV show Seven Days that used this well. They had a time machine that could go back in time seven days. The pilot had to fly the machine chasing the earth as he traveled back in time.

He would usually end up crashing it somewhere and have to find a phone to call for pickup.

I did some robotic submarine stuff in college. One of the techniques for waterproofing was put the electronics in a open at the top box and fill it with oil that was heavier than water. Messy but it worked.

Nope red is the fastest. I have a degree in ork science.

Yeah generating a steam key to sell yourself isn’t free but last time I made some it was less than a buck. I’m going on an old memory but I think it was $0.17 each.

Duck but gator tail is a close second.

Bouncing between Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions and The Screaming Staircase.

Algorithms is interesting but the actual algorithms aren’t terribly useful so far.

The Screaming Staircase has a very neat world but not very interesting characters. I’m hoping it improves.

Barbarians at the Gate is a good book and the movie is also worth a watch.

When the two executives are talking and then each gets on their private plane, then continue the talk via phone in air, and then land at the same location it sets up the situation so well.

Neutral flavor. So something like canola. Things with a strong flavor can impact the taste of the dish.

Society can do nothing but evolve. The world has changed and society has changed with the aspects best able to continue in the modern world being those thar continued.

Is society better off or not is a good question.

Blah got it backwards. Back to coffee for me.

Twice a time period. Semi for every two time periods. So every two weeks is semiweekely. However it gets misused so often you almost always have to check making it almost useless.

Similar to failsafe vs redundant.

So any stainless steel will do that. No need for a special disk. I use a stainless steel cocktail shaker to peal garlic. Then when I rinse it clean it also removes the smell from my hands.

Just drop the cloves into the shaker and shake hard for 30-45 seconds. Most of the garlic is now peeled and some just need a bit help. So much faster and easier.
