Sounds like you're living your best life I'm happy for you fam
Well they never said their partner isn't their parent so this could still work
There are still a couple no bullshit sites out there, but they aren't hyper seo pits so they don't show up in a lot of searches. America's test kitchen is the one I use most
Yeah I stopped checking my work emails entirely. At first I tried setting up filters so I could know which ones to ignore them I realized the answer was "literally all of them" so I don't bother anymore
This has been my tactic for the last few years. Doesn't work for everyone, like my ex spouse couldn't handle it. I keep rough track of calories and if I have a craving for trash I either eat less of it and supplement with low calorie stuff to still feel full, or do a bunch of extra exercise that day
I'm currently setting that in motion for myself. Taking the chance to go back to college in another country and hoping to basically getting a do over for my life
Fuck please don't be real....
Do you think assemblers are for suckers? Do you want to pack everything into one assembler because that's just efficient? Well say no more fam I've got your back! The Chesterizer is the all in one solution for all your chest needs. Just set some values conveniently split across multiple locations and away it goes. It's like magic!
I do grocery shopping almost every day since I live a block from a store. I just get food for the day. So skipping one day is like they won't get what, $10-20 from me? I don't see how that will make any kind of impact either unfortunately. Really needs to be longer than a day. I'll still do it because one day isn't going to affect me at all so might as well, maybe I'm wrong and something will come of it
Yeah my ex spouse would rather drive 5min then spend 15min finding parking every day for work than do the 15 minute walk. Then every day complain about parking and get instantly defensive if I brought up walking instead. This was a thing with going out too I'd want to walk and they'd want to drive. I'd get there first because of time spent finding parking. Half the time they'd walk just as far as I did anyway because parking in the area completely sucked
The Orville is a gem. I think it helped kick other Star Trek back into shape we had a lot of slop for a while there
75 tons was ridiculous and honestly we never should have released such a bulky monstrosity in the first place. The new Deliverator Slim is now a mere 73 tons!
Turns out the amount of water produced from melting ice is 20, and the amount of water needed for fuel and oxidizer is 10 each. So instead of cycling between fuel and oxidizer with a water override, we can just cycle to run one of each recipe. No storage tanks necessary!
R&D was also informed about a width issue with previous designs. With the removal of the water storage tank we were able to dramatically improve aerodynamics. For very brief periods of time while flying towards a planet, this sucker can hit 50km/s!
I've removed the self-sustaining ammo since it was just using up too many resources to be worth it for a small design. There were times where if it got low on ammo mid-flight it couldn't keep the engines on long enough to make up for being pulled into a planet's gravity due to the iron consumption. So I had to supplement it with ammo deliveries anyways, and I decided to just rely entirely on that. I also swapped out one of the solar panels for an accumulator and it seems to be working well.
The other main improvement is to the chem plant logic. It no longer needs buffers for the fuel and oxidizer. I use the on recipe complete signal to run a counter, mod by 2, then use that to flip between fuel and oxidizer. There is still a water tank to trigger a low water override.
If the chem plant is filled with too many resources it tries to run the recipes twice causing a lot of problems with the counting logic. Now the inserter is only active if the chem plant is not actively working which keeps it happy.
I noticed that when idling at a planet it backs up on fuel or oxidizer, clogs the pipe, then uselessly thrashes recipes. This creates an imbalance in how much fuel is available and while not proven I'm assuming it could create a condition where it can't use enough fuel to clear out the pipe and everything stalls. To prevent this I detect when I'm in orbit around a planet and stop producing fuel at that time. However I also realized if it somehow gets into orbit with a very low to zero amount of fuel that could prevent it from firing up again. So the orbit kill switch is hooked up to a timer and only disables the fuel/oxidizer production after 8 seconds.
I believe I could get the design down to 74 tons if I can figure out a consistently safe way to run the logic without the water tank, but 75 is such a nice number. I could also remove the accumulator but that causes worrisome power dips. The blinky lights are a core part of the ship's functionality and cannot be removed.
Part of our adventures making minimum viable transport ships. This thing barely works, moves slowly, can't fire at many asteroids, only sorta supplies enough energy. It gets where it needs to eventually though and includes the most important space ship feature: Blinky lights
I've been experimenting with using circuits to set recipes. This latest one was a lot of fun because it has to make water to feed back into itself for the other two recipes. The circuit logic is surprisingly simple with the new selector combinator and combinators being able to use red and green wire signals separately
In my thirties and I've got some creaks here and there, what all have you guys been doing to your bodies? Usually stuff like this is only when I go too wild at amateur wrestling night as the Shrieking Spud
