Very little trading is actually done in the NYSE building now since everything it online. The attack would be symbolic, I suppose, but traders would shake it off in under a week.

This reeks of a scam. When something is supposed to do everything, it generally will be an expensive way to do nothing at all.

My experience is practically a carbon copy of yours, so I’ll just tack my reply here.

I just started using robots a few days ago after numerous game restarts since the DLC was released, so I am still a hair behind. Rocket launchers vs. biter nests are starting to get a hair difficult now, so tanks are on the menu for tomorrow.

The biggest issue I had was planning around the sheer scale of the base we need to build and how to design and manage busses for them.

Once I figured out how to plan the layouts for entire stacks of furnaces or assemblers, my base got sooo much more efficient. The exact opposite, but just as satisfying, is when I leaned to quickly automate random odds and ends with temporary assembler puzzles. (Early game red science is a perfect example of that.)

I guess the biggest lesson is attach a massive multiplier to everything. ie: Will 2 turrets fend off attacks from one direction? Cool, but put 6 turrets there instead instead of the 2 it takes now. 10 absolutely wouldn’t hurt either.

Wake up! Something smells like bloody nostrils…

But it’s a new and revolutionary thin client. It’s got 365 in the name, anyway.

Nuke your watch history. It’ll generally go right back to your subs and start recommending “normal” stuff later.

JSON should be text already since it is just a data structure and not a binary file format. You should be able to cut-n-paste whatever you want.

And the capability to create as many copies of that ring as you want, actually.

Just one copy of “the one ring” would cause chaos. Now, imagine a hundred million of those fuckers on the open market! While some of the immediate side effects might be a bit weird, but it seems like the entire system of control might collapse fairly quick.

Leak a copy of the transport buffer to China, while we are at it, and we should be seeing those show up on EBay for $1.99 in about a week or so.

It’s no so precious any more, is it??

Well, it will train it’s AI on everyone else’s posts. Just not your posts.

There are going to be a ton of people getting upset now that their source of fake boner pills is getting disrupted.

If there is anything that could trigger a bloody uprising and revolution, it’s that.

OMG, that is awesome! They have a limited amount of time to capitalize on that before all the Infowars drones catch on.

Bullshit. All you need is to scrape together a measley $7 trillion dollars and throw it at Sam Altman.

It’s possible, but unlikely because there needs to be proof and it needs to be extremely serious. That is the reason I mentioned death threats, actually.

The biggest problem is that even though harassment is clearly defined in my state, “harassment” is still likely subjective.

Well, you can and it’s called harassment. This likely varies on the state or country, but in my state it’s illegal. As usual, if a person gets arrested for this likely depends on the mood of the officer that might have witnessed it, the length of time it’s been going on and if death threats are involved.

In reality, it’s just magnitudes easier to see if someone got punched in the eye.

For starters, we don’t know how NK troops are trained but we can make some good guesses based on the terrain they would fight SK on and what weapons they are known to have. NK troops in Ukraine are going to be fighting in a completely different environment. (Oh. Their actual combat experience is basically nil.)

Ukraine has perfected drone warfare over the last few years. If they are spending between $200-$1000 per drone, there is absolutely no reason to use custom machined parts that might cost thousands. If an old RPG , a bare bones drone and a quarter roll of duct tape can take out a multi-million dollar bit of hardware, I would classify that as a bit of brilliance.

Sure. It was partly started because of cost and manpower constraints, but it’s so much more than hack hardware these days.

Replace B with N, supposedly.

Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won’t talk about that right now.)

For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.

Hi again!

Still sober; A few years in with hopefully more in the future. I am going to preface this with a trigger warning. I may touch on some dark spots that recently sober people probably will not want to read. tl; dr: Sobriety isn’t all rainbows and unicorn farts.

The last few days have been rough, but yet, here I am. Even before the recent political chaos, I was already in a seriously dark nihilistic phase for some reason, so that sucked.

Strangely enough, my recent cravings are not specifically about drinking, but more about numbing myself to the world for just a few short hours. Alcohol just happens to be the only crutch I know that does that in just the perfect way.

In retrospect, craving alcohol was just a symptom of deeper issues I needed to resolve.

I have mentioned several times that I do not particularly care for AA or its methodology, but damn does it get a ton of things right about how the brain of a drunk works. In my case specifically, me getting caught up in issues I can’t control and problems I can’t solve was pointing me square into the depths of a bottle. My unwillingness to resolve the things I could control was also pointing me in the wrong direction. The feedback loop of my problems being everyone else’s fault had started once again.

Alcohol is my faux cocoon. It can and will give me a few short hours of relief where I truly don’t care about anyone or anything else. That is the temptation for me now when it used to be about just getting a fix. For better or for worse, life seemed much simpler when I was numb.

When we take a step back and look at the world and even everything we know about the universe, our individual lives actually don’t matter one bit. After the awe wore off from seeing pictures of recently discovered black hole jets that extended for 23 million light years into the void, I was left wondering how many thousands of planets it must have wiped clean over the time it took form. How many other solar systems and societies did the universe just extinguish at random? Needless to say, it took a bit of mental gymnastics to justify how me not drinking a beer would actually matter to anyone or anything here in even just 10 years time. It absolutely isn’t a concern of the universe as whole if you choose to think about things that way.

But I will say, yet again, here I am. I am here again typing out a carbon copy of the same story we all share in one way or another and have collectively typed out millions of times over. At the end of the day we do this because it works. It solves a problem I have now, on this planet in this solar system and in our universe.

What I think the overall point of this was, is that coming to terms with our own insignificance can be challenging, if not repetitive. Without a doubt, my own insignificance was (and still is) a driver for my alcoholism. Life is an interesting thing and is as beautiful as it is brutal.

So, pending any solar system destruction events, I will not drink with you today.

Because you just shove one end of the cable in the toilet and flush. The CAT5 pulls itself that way, smarty-pants.
