Oh God, I did not hear about that one. God dammit.

Just want to add. Don’t ask them a question, waiting with a prepared response to whatever they say. Go into the conversation with an idea of what you want to say, sure, but don’t ask someone a question you don’t intend to fully listen to the answer of in an attempt to make a smooth segue.

If you ask what she’s been doing lately, and she doesn’t happen to mention her hobbies, but she does engage the conversation with you and tells you about her week, day, whatever, make sure you’re present and listening, and don’t immediately blow her response off with, “well I do XYZ, ever try?”

You got this!

My favorite rage comics were the ones that had no text. Just a series of shittily drawn stick figures carrying out whatever task, followed by the frustrated, happy, angry, depressed, etc. reaction that we all can relate to.

RIP F7U12

I genuinely miss Rage Comics.

Lemmy “try not to relate every single fucking post to Elon Musk” challenge (HARD)

I think they ask because Anker cables are usually pretty good. Or at least once upon a time they were, I haven’t bought them in a while… mainly because the 4 that I bought in ~2015 all still work (supplemented with randoms that come with devices)

Right? Lmao. The next thing is gonna be to get them to start reading Marx or something.

The kind that are able (and often do) accommodate multiple people, including possibly a bunch of guys? I’m not sure what your question is trying to ask, do you think a group of men taking a taxi is a particularly odd thing?

I don’t think random people on Lemmy are going to have more accurate information than what has been publicly stated by Coffee Stain.

then ask them to remove the ads

Sounds like they’ll just roll over if you complain, then you can connect it if you do desire

I think it all depends on the sincerity and scale of the compliment. If someone just offhandedly says that your shoes are cool, it’s ok to just say thanks and move on. But if someone makes a specific compliment on something close to you, like pointing out a part of your project they like, it might be more appropriate to talk about choices you made, how it was done etc.

What is an " “everyone should” thing"?

They’re giving advice about someone a lot of people don’t know about, not sure what you’re implying they’re doing.

This must feel very scary. I think you should seek help from a psychological professional about your concerns, they may be able to help with some of the things you have listed. As someone else has said, you should definitely remove your phone number from this post.

I would say go ahead and make a separate account if it’s here on the fediverse and it’s important to you that progress remains trackable and organized. A vast majority of accounts and communities here have very little content. Even if you’re posting very infrequently, the community here is small enough that people who are interested will see and remember the previous ones.

A small thing that I think would help mitigate the “abandoned project” look is putting the date in the title of your updates. The post will obviously have a timestamp on it that shows how old the post is (ie “posted 4 weeks ago”), but seeing [December 2024 Update] at the top of a profile feels much more reassuring that something is being worked on, and also makes it easier for anyone scrolling through the account to a. get an idea of how much things are being worked on, and b. navigate through the project history.

If you’re talking about an account on the fediverse, I don’t think it matters much at this point.

If mean like a typical social media account like an Instagram, or a GitHub page or something, I’d say that when you want people you don’t know to look at it and understand what’s going on, projects should have their own account.

I have a personal Instagram account that I throw 3d printing, car, and some paint related things on so I can easily show my friends and family stuff that I do, but I also sell DnD minis and have a separate account that I only post minis to that has information about pricing and whatnot.

My current approach to fluid management is probably overkill, but I had a lot of rough experiences when starting out that completely killed a playthrough or two in the oil stage, so I’m kind of scarred.

Valves are deceptive with their throughput limitation and are the reason for one of my playthrough cancellations. In my experience, fluid buildings in satisfactory will very rarely get fluid at a constant rate, the rate will surge and drop as fluid “sloshes” around in the pipes. As such, limiting a factory to only get the fluid/min required will usually result in a starved machine (instead of filling up instantly during the surges, it only gets the limited amount- then the rate drops below the amount during the the low flow points). This makes it not the most intuitive experience to use valves where one might think they’re most useful (right before a machine).

I instead use valves to ensure fluid doesn’t flow backwards in my pipes (I also feed from underground, with a single MK2 pump at the beginning of the pipe and valves on all the outputs), and temporarily if I’ve got a huge line of refineries that I want to get running at max efficiency before the pipes have finished filling up.

My refineries are set up in rows of 6 (two 3-refinery blueprints that sit next to each other), each with a small buffer in the middle that is directly connected to the underground pipe. The buffer is really only used during initial startup to ensure there is enough oil for the full system, but it’s peace of mind that if I ever somehow wind up with a total power grid failure it isn’t gonna take half an hour for everything to fill back up.

Hey, we’re currently building in the same area!

I used an impure oil node to run 10 fuel generators, then today finished using a normal and pure node to run 60/min rubber and 480/min plastic, the residue of which is running another 8 generators (and canned fuel for my jetpack).

This is the first playthrough I’ve done where I seem to have learned the trick to managing fluids. We’ll see if I make it past my usual stopping point (aluminum)…

Bro got zero rizz FR and that’s on God.

One might assume they aren’t, since they asked someone to clarify. How nice of you to laugh at them instead of answering the question.

You are only able to specifically control the actions of the named target, but their death can involve another person.

Ie you can say “so and so gets hit by a bus” and a random bus nearby will hit them, but you cannot say “so and so is killed by such and such” and have the second person kill the first. I believe both people die of a heart attack if you try.
