Americans are not any better. Poll from 2022 https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/41556-americans-misestimate-small-subgroups-population

“Big enough to fill most” then after say “we’re talking about shoes right?”

Good thing I’m not an American then. If I would be an American “I’d be a vote blue no matter who” but also make sure I vote in any primaries I’m able to so I could vote “less corruption” and “left leaning”.

As a European I see politics in the US being a choice between “Classic EU Conservative party” and “Far right populism + authoritarian” but then you manage somehow to get Mamdani, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Bernice which actually look decent. I like that, Trump shit is affecting Europe and shifting the overton window left instead of right would help I think.

Step one, write in a dream journal or just try to remember the dream as soon as you wake up. Doing this will improve your dream memory instead of it just fading away.

Step two, have a check to see if you’re dreaming as a habit. Holding your nose closed and breathing through it is a nice one since you’ll be able to breath anyway in a dream.

Step three, establish cues, like every time you walk through a door or whatever just so you’re doing it frequently, the more the better.

Step four, wait until you get a dream where you try breathing through your nose. You’ll become lucid instantly and gain control over the dream.

Step five is just exploration of how to maintain the lucid dream state. Generally it’s very exciting to have a lucid dream but excitement wakes you up. Spinning around in circles and trying to involve all senses such as touch, smell, taste etc will help you make the dream clearer and more real.

I used to be into this and had a blast flying around, teleporting, conjuring and whatnot.

The Dems are so far right now that a leftist candidate is a breath of fresh air

Yeah, you should shake off the water first (12 times is a good number), then rub your hands to spread the water over your hands so your evaporating water on all parts of your hands.

Takes less than a minute and gives you completely dry hands. This works with type 1 and 3 mentioned by you. Type 2 like the Dyson Airblade work if you pull your hands through slowly but then they will take a couple of minutes to dry on their own. With type 2 shaking the water off is not important since the machine does it for you.

I’d like to dispute that. My current routine is:

1. Shake hands around 12 times
2. Rub hands under the dryer.

Step 1 removes majority of the water and Step 2 spreads it evenly over your hands so you use all the surface area to dry. I get my hands completely dry within a minute.

I work in Web dev so there’s that. But also the roman empire and etymology.

It’s a fair point but it’s not as egregious as most other headlines. I personally give this one a pass since clickbaits are meta in the article space. It shows that GOG has this in their toolbox.

I make e-commerce websites. It’s a lot about making widgets, making logic for connecting to their accounting system and how prices and discounts work together. Then whatever delivery and payment system they need and so on.

I write 90% of the code by hand since it works for me very well.

That’s wild, this companion drug should be used for lyrics in a hip hop song.

This “slap on the wrist” handling of it is way too lenient and can only apply to people who accidentally underpay workers. If you can somehow prove that an employer does it on purpose or rejects a person’s claim for their salary they should be held accountable and be put in the same category as stealing a car with up to 4 years imprisonment.

If you only make employers pay a fine and backpay to whoever requests it might be less than the amount they stole. This way optimal business strategy become “get insured for it and continue”.

Calling Inara a whore every chance he gets now finally makes sense.

That’s the beauty of it. You hate stuff but you can automate it away. You have a shortage but with more automation you can scale up 2x or 4x. You have logistic issues but you can use bots and when bots don’t cover it you can use rails.

We all want you to enjoy factorio maaaan. This game is magic.

You can tune the biters and make them spawn less, tech up slower etc.

IIRC you can also use the Rail world mode and turn the settings as if they are Normal mode since any cleared space will not respawn biters.

You can also turn up the resource richness and size so you have to expand less and then every now and then clear out an area. I used to be a bit turned off by the biters but now I’ve leaned into it and have have blueprints for making laser perimeter which kinda automates a lot of the biter handling.

Maybe you just need a mindset shift where the biters are another automation challenge instead of it being an intrusion. I really hope you get to enjoy this game, I can’t anymore since I have a baby now but I hope you can. I’ll for sure start again as soon as time allows.

Also, aim for 100% roboport coverage so you can automatically rebuild everything that gets destroyed. Then you can clear out something, paste a perimeter wall and continue on with factory stuff.

The infection risk only becomes an issue when you’re old. I’m getting circumcised at 70, I’m keeping my dick whole until then. Your dick looks ugly, sorry not sorry.

Also, I’m happy you like your dick, I’m sure you’d also like it if your parents didn’t remove a piece.
