By being terminally online since the previous century.

I only know of the version I’ve heard on Audible, and that’s the Sound Booth Theater one (autocorrect butchered the studio name in my comment. Fixed)

Your list of audio books is very similar to how I started. I stumbled across a torrent with a bunch of Hugo winners, and those were included.

Some recommendations off the top of my head:

• Project Hail Mary (Weir).
• Snow Crash. (Stephenson).
• Cryptonomicon (Stephenson. Not sci-fi, but I highly recommend it anyway).
• The End of Eternity (Asimov. His only time travel book).

And of more recent date, the “Dungeon Crawler Carl” series as released by sound booth Theater is pretty much the gold standard in Audio book production. Seems pretty shallow at first, but the sci-fi element becomes more and more prevalent with time, and it weaves a pretty interesting story. On top of being hilarious. I cannot recommend this series enough.

In addition to those, Discworld makes for some great audio books as well.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I remembered the right movie.

I now challenge anyone who haven’t seen it to deduce the rest of the plot, based only on my description.

Is that the movie about (sorry for the bad synopsis) Where the guy vacuums his work desk because he wants to go to space?

Your mom likes me anyway

Disclaimer: I’m neither a tigerologist or a wolfonomer, and I’m generally basing this on guesswork.

For starters tigers are huge. But wolves are pretty huge too, larger than most people think. I believe they are only slightly smaller than Tigers (at least the tigers I saw as a kid in a Danish zoo).

And I imagine a tiger would have a hard time defending against multiple simultaneous attackers, something I believe wolves like to do, being pack animals.

So my guess is 2 wolves could take down a tiger. Maybe 3.

Source: I’m talking about stuff I know little to nothing about. Do not place any bets based on this.

Another aspect of this that I’ve found is that engaging in benevolent smalltalk with someone here on Lemmy somehow sometimes results in them treating it as an argument.

No, I will not concede to whatever point you’re trying to make; I was making conversation, you were trying to win an argument. I don’t care if you’re convinced your particular approach to a particular problem is better than mine.

And if they then don’t realize that I’m not interested in engaging, and keep the “debate me bro” attitude, they usually end up on my blocklist, or at the very least they end up with a red tag behind their name.

First Season, to be specific

Season 1

Local: They’re alright, just a bit daft. Due to budget constraints they’re doing the municipality equivalent of spending a fortune over time keeping an old clunkers alive instead of just buying a new car.
Parliament: They’re alright, just a bit boring. And that’s a good thing.

Don’t worry, we were all noobs at some point. And factorio has a pretty noob friendly community.

But yes, that’s how it works. Your personal bots and the base bots don’t share the same logistics inventory.

Sticking build items that aren’t available to your base bots into storage or provider chests is basically the hot fix for when you want your base bots to build something. Otherwise you’re gonna have to run down there so your pocket bots can do it instead.

Tips:

• Personal roboports stack. The more you have, the more pockets bots can work at the same time, and the longer reach they will have. (I usually use three roboports if my armor allows it)
• Everything your base builds should have a small portion go into passive provider chests for robots to use.
• In line with the tip above, automate everything, even chemical plants. Your bots will thank you for it. This is extra important if you’re playing with the Space Age DLC as you might find yourself on a distant planet in need of supplies.
• You might want to build a requester chest for every produced item that has priority feeding into the production line BEFORE the provider chest. Otherwise you run the risk of “leftover” items filling up your storage, such as yellow belts after upgrading to red, buildings that your bots have deconstructed, etc. You need logistics bots to ferry these items around, though.
• Bots are slooooow at first. But once you put some research in speed and carrying capacity you’ll notice a huge improvement.

Due to an old eye injury, I do not have a functional drain tube for my left eye (that channel that drains from the corner of your eye and into your nose).

Normally it’s not something anyone notices, but in cold headwind and anything else that causes my eyes to water, it looks like I’m crying my heart out but only with one eye.

Well, a friend of mine took acid with a TV in the room, and it enabled him to see what was behind the signal, between the scanlines, on the other side of the picture. He then saw the message that held the secret to unlocking the truth of the universe.

It said: LSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSDLSD

No. But I wasn’t significantly unpopular either. I got along with most of my classmates, but lacking any shared interests I mostly kept to myself.

No. He should not be punished for coming forward with a genuine concern. That would only result in him not coming to you if he messes up later in life (which we all know he will at some point)

This calls for an honest conversation about risk and choices that may affect him for the rest of his life.

And at 15, maybe you can add that he could/should have come to you first. I think it’s an OK age to get a piercing, but parents should be in on it.

You see, most movie critics have this condition…

A diverse list of my some films I like, in no particular order:

• Memento.
• The Anchorman.
• LOTR extended editions.
• Terminator 1, 2, and Salvation (Yeah, those are my guilty pleasures. You can skip the 3rd and ignore the ones after Salvation, imho).
• The Usual Suspects.
• Zoolander.
• Inglorious Basterds.
• The Matrix.
• The Abyss (1989).
• Parasite

Is inviting strangers an option, someone who is more into your (version of the) activity?

How do the physical properties of PETG compare to ABS?

And the fumes and such from ABS was something I was aware of, but one thing that always irked me was that I needed to use rafts floating on abs-juice to make a print.
