They wanted to give Efficiency Beacons a purpose, clearly. I mean, they’re so lonely out there, not in any builds

I know, right? Only reason I know to say anything is because someone told me the same thing.

I had assumed they had an atmosphere limitation like the non-electric furnaces.

You can program the targeting.

Just shove your desired signals into a turret. You’ll get to shove all of them, but a decider combinator can output each signal set to 1, so you don’t even need a constant combinator, the same decider that determines if targeting should change can provide the signals.

I haven’t done it myself, though.

I also am not actually farming deep space yet. I’ve dipped past aquilo once but I didn’t have biter eggs set up so I came back quickly. All my ships are still solar, since quantity makes up for the reduced solar in space, even on aquilo, with a few efficiency modules.

I will say with all that production and you still worrying about resource production, and having fusion set up, foundries are much more efficient. Less steps to make steel for railgun ammo, more productivity, and the liquid steel recipe is inherently much cheaper, also.

And copper cables, too.

Plus, with efficiency modules, they’re not that far off from speed beacon furnace power consumption, anyway.

In my experience, it definitely affects it.

my first ship to aquilo, I launched, with myself and basic stuff for it, and manually toggled the switch to reduce speed. Worked fine.

Sent my ship back while I built on aquilo, destroyed within 2 minutes.

I loaded an autosave, realized I didn’t actually bring enough explosives to get back, and was losing them faster than I was making them since my explosive damage was very low. I realized my ship was probably lost for good, now, since the autosaves were too recent now.

So I made a hard save and tried a bunch of times to do various things in the hope of cheating that fate. I tried crawling at about 50, I tried rushing. I tried hopping by blasting forward and then idling, getting some actual distance, then dealing with a bunch of asteroids, and then hopping again.

I found steady and slow got me the farthest, almost halfway. Hopping produced more asteroids and was also more likely to cause damage just because of the sudden density of them. It was actually more efficient to go full speed than to hop, I think because while you’re slowing down and speeding up you’re still generating asteroids, and you never end up moving backwards, unlike hopping, where I could get that -10.

But going slow definitely was the winner, by a lot.

Now, there was a bug, where you’d generate more asteroids while you weren’t looking at the ship. Given it’s nature as a bug, I think there’s a reasonable chance that this generation isn’t dependent on speed. Do you by chance need to update? This was fixed in 2.0.43. It could explain the issue.

I think there’s also a chance that, while it does affect density, it just doesn’t affect it as much as you’d like.

Try reconfiguring and running, say, 1 rocket, or use a pump to starve that, too. If you can manage to move at like, 30, I’d expect a clear difference in asteroids, for sure. Obviously that’s too slow, but it could show you whether or not it’s affected.

No, because the Texas schools don’t know what those are.

Another strategy you could do to mitigate that is have a blueprint of your ship with huge extended arms, keep a cargo bay’s worth of the materials, and whenever you stop, slap that blueprint on.

Collect materials like a stationary satellite build, and then deconstruct the arms, and pack them away.

Wish this could be a fully automated thing, but its livable for a speedrun situation.

You could even store asteroids in permanent belts on your real ship, so the processing can keep going mid-flight.

Not encrypted info, if they set it up right.

But regardless, what they want is more like an actual

Currently, companies generally want warrants to give information like that.

Warrants are hard to come by when the government simply wants to read everyone’s messages in case they’re doing criminal activity.

Even in the best case, the completely honest with no hidden motives situation, they want messages to be more, a source of probable cause for other things. Like getting a drug sniffing dog, who detects drugs, and gives cops reasonable suspicion and therefore allows them to search your car.

Worst-case, I don’t think anyone trusts the government in this day and age to not just read your messages to discriminate against you.

Plus the usual security concerns where digital backdoors are weak spots for other governments and everyone else.

And all that is the general case. this is Desantis’s Florida. It’s probably so he can tell who is gay and who isn’t so he can make them illegal.

Some companies are happy to share, though, like you said, even without warrants. Those companies generally aren’t encrypting your messages at all. This doesn’t affect them. The law would just affect those that promise security, promise encryption, etc. Those would be, with this law, not quite public, but transparent to the government and compromised to everyone else.

Probably can, there’s a speaker in there somewhere.

Court costs are different than a fine.

If a random guy sued you for a nonsense reason and you had to show up to court and pay a lawyer hundreds of dollars just to basically say “this lawsuit is frivolous and the ruling is self evident”, it’s reasonable to expect that ransom guy to pay your court costs. The alternative is being sued itself would be like a fine. If some dude with a vendetta sued me 10 times over that I’d be ruined no matter the result.

So frivolous, ungrounded lawsuits have a cost to them that actually has nothing to do with the courts getting money, it has to do with making it right that someone has wasted your own time and money.

This guy did that, and has to pay for not only his own lawyer (if he brought one, I expect he didn’t) but also the lawyer for the city/police department.

Some areas do have an actual fine for wasting the court’s time, so the lawyer thing might not be the only thing going on here, but no matter what, the guy gets to pay more for losing at court when the matter is considered obvious to everyone else and it seems he only wants to argue to avoid a perfectly legal fine.

Wrong.

It was forks.

Yellows and browns and orange are a lot more related, and whatever color the pre-orange tiger ancestor was, it was almost certainly one of those.

Natural variation in the coat means some of those tigers were more orange than their peers. This trait was selected for.

Yes it has Bluetooth support and, naturally, USB C.

It’ll continue to take anything that supports those, and that’ll include the switch 1 pro controller, since it supports those for other devices.

Linux is perfect for that.

Mint is great, I use it myself.

They collect no secret data, but do obviously know, line, when you download an update from their servers, etc.

They don’t keep track of anything as part of the OS itself. Mint doesn’t “phone home” like windows phones home to Microsoft, just to keep tabs on you. Any time any data would be sent to them, it has a clear purpose, and is stated upfront, and it never includes user files, anyway. They don’t want or use your files and would actually prefer not to have them, based on this.

Other distros have similar policies, too. Linux is open, so a given distro COULD do this kind of thing, so if you go another direction besides Mint, double-check, but I’d honestly need to try to find a distro that did snoop.

Linux source code can be checked, and shitty behaviors can be noticed.

Linux is safe. Linux minds its own business.

It’s possible to not realize you’re complicit or not realize the depth of it.

When this happens like it did, you do briefly become someone who is getting blood money. She took this chance to interfere with their event.

Yeah same, OP’s was definitely a mistake. I think she’s just here for us two.

While you’re right, first I wanna say, “unskilled labor” tends to be cashiers, stocking, waiting on tables, that sort of thing. Any job where you’re an apprentice for any length of time, thats skilled labor.

“skilled labor” vs "unskilled labor would be named best as “credentialed labor” and “on-the-job training labor” in my opinion. There might be a better word, but the meaning of those is more accurate.

I was great at my call center job, I had skills that got me promotions, but many those skills could’ve only been taught at that job, and they only applied at that job. It’s not that that job didn’t have skills, it’s that you couldn’t arrive with all the skills you’d need to succeed.

This is also true of “skilled” labor, but to a much lesser degree.

Well hey if the trumps became a dynasty, the US becomes a de facto Russian colony.

I bet he’s cool with that.

Then we would actually become second place in his eyes instead of a nation with a bullet hole on his map.

Even writing this makes me wanna gag, this is a horrid little hypothetical I’ve thought of. Someone, somewhere, is hoping this will occur, though.

I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

Maybe the poster thought there was a countdown. Not this one though, so you’re absolutely right.

It works better when both gunners care about innocents. Imagine the ranger couldn’t find hits hideout, a big enough place it wasn’t easy, and Texas red didn’t wanna shoot up the place he was living.

The ranger might get a message saying a time and place, so they can meet without causing a bunch of damage or risking innocents.

Of course, the moustache-twirling sort of villains wouldn’t work with that at all. Just can’t trust them. But there’s plenty of room for this to make sense sometimes.

That’s neat.

It makes me wonder if your hearing is better than average or if your eyes are worse, making it not so clear-cut.

Do you need glasses, or have you ever had your hearing tested for whatever reason?
