    Reading the room is a skill, not a burden… Keep your opinion, we also have our own. No wonder YouTube got rid of the down vote button and other social platforms don’t really have one. Both sides pretty much want to suppress each other. No matter how much I like factorio, I don’t think many people who do play it care about is looks and the people who also play mindustry also don’t care how “terrible” it looks when we consider your standards as the measurement…

    You done goofed your reasoning. You rolled a nat 1 on charisma and intelligence check. Rip bozo



  • There are definitely some maps on the new planet where I seemingly realized that pausing was strictly necessary as the waves start overwhelming the defenses and units to the point that I either run out of resources or they somehow sneak one drone in that wrecks havoc on the supply lines that are already packed with not enough space to add the turrets that can deal with the advanced units. Eventually, it really became a race to finish as fast as possible. Also, the staggered unlocks or limited resources on some maps were brutal.






  • You could put a loop system that circulates the cold water from the pipes back through the heater for a set amount of time, then have it switch over to sending the water to the shower. The problem is that a set of pipes will need to be installed that can send the water back and may need a custom solution on switching from circulating to dispensing. In the long run, it would be cheaper, but it would take a fair amount of time to pay itself back. The positive is that it is cheaper than installing electric heater on every water outlet but more expensive for just one outlet.

    As you said, the pipes are not easily accessible. You may need to just live with it or suck it up and pay the professionals to install either the whole house water scavanging system for every hot water tap to be hot or just an electric water heater for just the shower. Depends on how much you want to save water vs. how much cash you can throw at this problem.


  • I always shy away from newer tech because of lackluster documentation and poor leadership. The latter is rare enough. Without proper documentation, I feel like I have to read the code and make my own notes to put into their documentation platform. Which is not what I want to do when I use it. Contributing is nice, but when doing something a core member would do without credit, it will dissuade me from participating.



  • There is a quick Google search where Qualcomm only guarantees 3 years of major OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. There is articles where Fairhope blames Qualcomm as the largest barrier to long term update support. Understand that google supports their own chipset that they design and lease the manufacturing with samsung for tensor. used to be Qualcomm for the first 4 generations as google tried to customize Qualcomm’s offerings to suit their needs.




  • Alternatively, buy a plot of land from an area less desired by the general public. Have the house built yourself, and move in. House buying is not smart unless you are pressed for time, which is not a smart way of handling it as you should take your time with houses.

    Buying a house or land in an area that is saturated with demand is also unwise. Live within your means. Most who are able to afford land and house are more than capable of affording more time away from the job or remotely work. If your job requires a lot of your time, then it is more wise to just rent a small room and take vacations outside the area. There are a lot of factors in place when you consider a house, and you made great examples.

    I am sorry about the interest rate. A 6.5% rate is not the worst but disadvantageous because, historically, most ROI for safe investments are 5%. This means it is more beneficial to pay off the house than it is to diversify while you are paying the house. Which is bad because you should be diversifying your portfolio. My sister has a 2% interest rate, she is so lucky and I tell her to diversify instead of putting all her money towards paying off the house.


  • You will hate me for this. Any spread sheet app, google Sheets , Excel, or open-source. Spend time doing it yourself because focusing on your finances matters more than just getting an automated solution that you can simply ignore or not understand completely. Don’t worry too much about it. Make a tab for income, a tab for recurring expenses, and a tab for all your transactions. Take a year or two, building it up. It will take time to build a good history and for you to refine your plan better(easier when you are focusing on creating the spreadsheet vs. taking a premade solution). Also I suggest thinking long term as much as possible, like a yearly plan instead of monthly. If you get lucky and your life is stable and safe, you will have a nest egg building, and it will make sticking to a yearly plan much easier as you won’t need to plan out around paychecks as your yearly income is usually going to stay the same.

    Spreadsheets are cloud store able and editable, export features galore, and powerful stats with custom data manipulation or presentation. There is simply nothing better than making your own spreadsheet. You could always start with a premade spreadsheet that does not have too much fancy bs. Take time doing it, I promise you will be happier than stumbling around, not knowing what is going on or what your future holds.


  • The new prius body style is better than before. I hated how their previous models look.

    I would recommend electric vehicles too. Even a used electric car will likely need the 12v lead acid battery changed. But the whole car is super sound and reliable from less moving parts. The bolt ev is fast, and the range is long enough for most people. I would only suggest an ev if you can keep it plugged in at home, and since most people live in apartments, the prius is the better choice.


  • If you know the yearly, then that is the allotted amount in the company budget for you. So, in the big picture, you are being paid yearly. Especially if you are salary or contract. I have switched to making a yearly budget with monthly categories, and the yearly costs are much easier to factor into. My budget became more simplified and less stressful. Also, another benefit is that I save for an average cost that is usually higher than most months, and the high cost months are less troublesome to plan for.

    I try to calculate net income: deductions and taxes removed from gross income. Overall, I feel better as I can plan ahead of time and don’t need to do it every month. Still need to keep an eye on following the plan and for anything that changes it. I don’t just plan it either, I execute it.
