Drop off the edge with an inserter. I feed everything into the hub. Then I have an inserter set to read the hub for each chunk type. If it’s greater than 5 it gets thrown overboard. For production it’s the same just disable the factory when there is enough. That prevents build ups.

I saw a study about 5 years ago that showed over 90% of ev owners expected their next car to be electric. I just replaced my first ev with another ev.

Casablanca is incredibly clichéd now. But it’s what started a lot of those clichés.

Some people can see classified systems and some can’t.

We should have totally called it a unit test.

So the area for this was used for both training of soldiers and demos for people without security clearances. So it frequently had to be switched between the two. So you get everything setup and ready.

As a last test you drop the unit in and blam it. Then you go to each system and check the unit status. If it’s ok you are good to demo to civilians.

A unit test wouldn’t work because it’s a deployment situation and a lot the software wasn’t under our control. A lot of time it was just making sure the DIS HLA gateway was properly configured and entities remapped.

I really like it. This is probably my 10 listen. If you can find the version read by the author it’s better than the other audio book version.

Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.

It means removal of 1/10th. deci 1/10 matus remove. So yes decimation was the name of the Roman punishment where 1/10 of a group was killed. But it can be applied to any group of people or things.

The same guy also did Cheddar Goblin. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z21kbq153P8

I listen to A Night in the Lonesome October every October. It’s the diary of Jack the Rippers dog from October 1’st to October 31’st.

I used to work in serious sim. Think using game engines for realistic combat stimulation and training by the army. Systems had to interact and had different jobs rts, fps, driving simulator, etc.

So they each needed a unit database that was unique to that system. They also usually had a two versions a classified database and a less accurate non classified database.

A quick way to test was there was a unit type that was always set to invulnerable in unclassified databases. So drop one in the sim and drop some artillery on it. If it wasn’t destroyed you were unclassified.

It’s right there in the word. deci 1/10 mate from matus to remove. It’s like expecting half price to mean 1/3 price. We use deci all the time to mean 1/10 Decileter, decimal, etc.

I know! The best bad movies make you as why did they do that? It’s one thing when you understand what they were going for but failed because of bad effects, no budget, or bad writing.

But seriously why would you have him spend 10 hours shooting at the horse?

Thanks that makes sense.

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

Daybreak is very good. It’s from one of the designers of pandemic.

So government owned news is better?

What kind of things need to be machined out of graphite?

It’s an image set from the dial up days. The set name was something like vice president of the chess club. It was an asian woman with glasses in a white dress. She went around flashing including some upskirt shots on a set of stairs.

Even the replacement and most modern remotes (with an LED at the tip that you have to point at the device) use pretty cool tech.

Usually to send data you want a data channel and a clock channel. When the clock changes say from high to low you read the next bit in the data channel. With one LED to send info you need to combine them.

For transmission that’s easy. You make the low to high change at a fixed frequency. For the high to low change if it’s a zero you make the high to low change 1/3 the way through the cycle. For a 1 you make the change 2/3 the way through the cycle.

On the receiver you you sync up a signal at the same frequency rising with the start of the transmission at a 1/2 on 1/2 off. You look at the data when the reference falls 1/2 the way through the cycle.

If a zero was sent the line had fallen at the 1/3 and it is a zero. If a one was sent the line doesn’t drop until 2/3 and it’s a one.

The trick is how do you get a signal at the same frequency and in synch. You compare the transmission frequency revived to the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator. If it’s slower you up the voltage and increase the frequency if it’s faster you lower the voltage and lower the frequency.

You similarly use a phase detector to determine if they are in phase slightly boosting the frequency until they are in sync.

This system is called a phased lock loop (pll). All this so you don’t have to getup to change the channel. The same sort of system is used for reading data from the magnetic disk on a hard drive.
