  • Timberborn - 1.0 release date and lore trailer

    Jump

  • I've played a fair bit of timberborn, and it's a great city builder! I get obsessed for the first dozen or so hours of a settlement but it's always fallen a little flat in the more later-game parts.

    I'm hopeful that their continually adding content keeps it fresh deeper into the game. The mechanics and aesthetics are great

  • A LOT less US products here in the last year or so, I think. But still a lot of stores still have plenty of Pepsi/Coke, Pringles, Oreos, Kellogg's and GM cereal, etc. and tons of clothing and such (Nike, Levis, etc).

    Since the introduction of the Black Star (https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/vil-du-boykotte-amerikanske-varer-nu-saetter-dagligvarekaempe-sort-stjerne-ved) at many stores, and the general shift in sentiment from the US, I've noticed a lot fewer american products in stores. Still plenty, but it's a noticable shift here for sure.

  • New Zealand declines invite to join Board of Peace

  • Lmao I looked at the wiki paged to see how unhinged it is and who joined/declined. The list of countries accepting is basically exactly who you'd expect.

    It took until now to learn that Denmark wasn't even invited.

  • Y'all got one, right?

  • But then how do you drain it after? Maybe the plastic liner can be lifted out and dumped?

    Jump

  • Yeah, exactly. You definitely save some copper by running ethernet to remote racks but by raw wire count it's not reduced much. There's a LOT of modern plants (power and manufacturing plants) that have way more wiring than this in a photo

    Jump

  • Um, I mean the boiler(s) itself are a small part of it. It's all the other stuff. I am not a coal expert by any stretch, but if you think of the signals required just to convey coal, probably dozens or more of drives with run/stop/various errors/temperature/current/voltage/perhaps VF, plus all the sensors you need to use motors like that with (presumably bucket conveyors?) like slip, like explosion disk detection from dust. Not like all of those have to be present, but every step has so many signals.

    Plus then you've got a steam turbine and a switchyard, plus all the plant utilities like process heating and cooling water, compressed air, steam turbine makeup water, etc

    Nowadays you do IO to remote racks that are close to devices (like valves/motors/etc) then use Ethernet to make it go further. Pre ethernet there were typically proprietary cables for the same, but thankfully that's a thing of the past

    But something like I mentioned with a motor drive having all those signals, yeah it's typically just an Ethernet cable + power + estop (usually hardwired still). So maybe 40-50 wires down to 5-8

  • I mean nowadays yes but the pic has some old relays in it, I'm fairly sure the DCS/PLC is not ethernet if there even is one

  • It's about IO not compute. The controllers for plants like this aren't very complicated but they can have many thousands of signals going to/from them. For a ~500MW plant I'd expect somewhere between 2-5k IO, more if it's nicely automated.

    Automation engineer, have worked on power plants.

  • Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?

    Jump

  • Sounds like an awesome president.

    I have the same story (with a huge failure at a metal factory) that I had a dozen times made a big scene about how terrible an idea it was. The corporate guy who suggested it decided to email god and country that if only (my team specifically of) engineering had supported us more it wouldn't have happened like that. I was fuming, spent half the night furiously detailing and outlining my proof of how we supported him, bad idea, etc.

    I ended up drunkenly scrapping the entire write up and just reply alling "fuck you (name)". Perhaps my proudest work moment, tbh.
