If I remember correctly, loading a ship that size with coal took weeks. That was the main limitation when it came to turnaround time.

What is this sexy thing?

At work I have this nice wooden box with a hinged lid. I think it used to hold teabags. On the front there’s a dymo label with fancy font: “Box of Memories”

Inside there’s an obscene amount of RAM that have been taken out of decommissioned servers.

When I was in the army almost 20 years ago, the grease used on smaller caliber weapons were often referred to as cat cum.

My current job has an age ceiling of 70 years, and I have very limited authority when it comes to deployment of nuclear tech.

I’d prefer the cryptkeeper surgeon who is at least trying, as opposed to the orange ghoul who is there to harvest your organs for some spare change.

The problem lies with the hospital which allowed those to be the only options to begin with.

I for one would prefer to have my appendix removed by a competent surgeon just over 35 y.o., but until hospital staff management gets their shit together, there isn’t a whole lot one can do.

I tried to chat up this woman the other day, and she called me revolting, so I guess I am as ready as can be.

That Mitchell and Webb sketch where they discuss faking the moonlanding to save money, and the only real savings was on catering…

An idiot capable of correcting one self, at least. Whatever your question was, I’m glad I could help (I think?)

By “launch”, you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.

The trumpanzees already despises the pope, so I don’t think a whole lot is going to change from this.

Copying my comment from a discussion a while back:

Everything I wear is based around practicality which involves a lot carrying capacity. As someone who’s a lot on the move, this is my usual kit:

Jeans, right pocket: Snus
Jeans, left pocket: Bluetooth earbud charging box thingy
Jeans, right back pocket: Boarding pass / ticket Jeans, left back pocket: reserved for trash
Jacket, left front pocket: card holder, in which I also keep receipts
Jacket, left inner pocket: Phone
Jacket, front right pocket: varies. Usually a pack of chewing gum and a pen
Jacket, right inner pocket: Wallet with passport and misc other important stuff
Backpack: Two laptops, a change of clothing, USB battery bank, a bunch of adapters so I can plug in almost anywhere, phone stand, misc access cards, a plastic fork, and a toothbrush. Plenty of room to spare for things I add last minute or pick up along the way.

When I’m only moving locally, it’s the same except I don’t bring my backpack. And when I’m not flying, I have a small multitool/knife in my right inner jacket pocket instead of my wallet.

Oh, and up until a few hours ago I used to have my sunglasses hanging from a ring that is hanging Frodo-style around my neck. But I realized while I was boarding my plane on my way home that I’d left them in the airport lounge. No time to fetch them, but they weren’t particularly expensive.

I don’t see the problem. But that’s probably because my goto-language is perl.

…btw

Same. I have a general rule that I don’t pre-order. I also tend to wait for reviews to come in. This is because I’ve been burned in the past. I made exceptions to this for CP2077 and KSP2, and we all know how those went.

So what used to be more like general guidelines for myself have now become strict rules.

But Factorio has earned an exception. They’ve proven time and time again that the game is a product of passion and not (primarily, at least) profits. This has been clearly visible since I first bought it during early access in 2016 or thereabouts.

So its expansion will be instabuy for me. The game has simply given me so many hours of entertainment that one could argue that if anything, at least I will now have paid full price for the game I already have (I don’t remember what I paid for Factorio, but it was dirt cheap).

Must be a continental thing. Here in noggieland we have a simple illuminated green cross.
