Transporter Room 3

Honestly, this right here is the main reason I don’t believe any real-world bending would end any way other than Earth Kingdom dominance. Peaceful dominance, hopefully.

You can’t wipe out their infrastructure as long as someone is alive who knows how it’s done.

Oh, fire nation bulldozed your house because they felt like it? Well boom. Stomp stomp punch. New identical house made of stone.

Bridge collapsed to cause chaos? Stomp stomp punch, it’s back.

Don’t feel safe living out in the open where fire nation scouts could murderhobo you harder than my last D&D group? Stomp stomp punch, now you have a vast mansion underground in which you can simply… Not go above ground until you need to.

Of course, underground living isn’t simple as “hole in ground, hide all day” but still… There is 0 reason the EK shouldn’t go full Vietnam War tactics.

Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out

AvE started praising the trucker convoys

Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.

But It’s Very Important That You Never Drive Somewhere , Or Simply GO Somewhere , You MUST Be Travelling.

And Also Something With Capital Letters.

I mean… At least 5 minutes.

As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.

And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.

I was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”

This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.

Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

And if you take a hit to performance (you will) you might get fired! And then all that was for nothing.

Honestly I think if that happened to me I’d fire the building. From existence.

“Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice”

What do you even do if your office gets burned and melted by a volcano? Do you take a week “off” and all meet up in a new space? Do you look for a new job? Like damn, if the warehouse I work in burned down I’d be completely out of a job unless I can move 1,000 miles away.

Fair enough, given the small dimensions I figured lightweight and easy to repair/replace is the biggest feature you’re going for.

I considered adding in a “for if you want to take a step up” to it, but that sounded to me like I was trying to say yours is somehow lesser, which is definitely not the case.

Too bad videos can’t give a good idea of sound quality, because I’d love to hear it. Based on the specs I can see, this thing should be a nice little powerhouse in it’s own right!

If you do design another one, here’s an interesting technique I saw on a random YouTube video:

Make an enclosure that fits together so that the walls have a cavity between them you can fill with a combination of plaster of Paris and pvc glue.

This, combined with separate chambers for tweeters/woofers/subs/etc and a little thought for how the sound exits the enclosure, and you’ve got a top tier miniature sound system for a fraction of the cost. Although it will be a little bulkier, a little heavier, and takes more time to design, if you want to take another step up from what looks to me like a pretty good first one. Honestly given the 3d printed enclosure I expected all kinds of distortions and noise, but you clearly did quite well. So please don’t for a second think I’m trying to say “uhh this way is better” it’s just a different way, and one that could be better or worse for many many reasons.

I prefer heavy-handed metaphors and vague references, myself.

Like “when streaming became cable 2.0 I decided to dust off my old hat and hit the high seas”

Going out of your way to make sure everyone knows exactly whats going on in your queue at that particular moment is just excessive.

It’s an old joke.

Jesus christ I don’t need this gut punch and flashback, I’m going back to bed.

I can hit with the force of a bullet, with 0 training, using only a baseball bat.

It’s a bad comparison.

You ever have one of those moments when you just put 2 and 2 together, and also that you should have had that realization many years ago?

I just realized what NaN stands for…

This must be what people who get told “you can just wait for the shower water to warm up before hopping in” feel like.

I’m gonna have to go with “Inner Light” from TNG

It has so many typical star trek things, but it does lack a few things here and there.

It’s always my go-to when someone wants an episode recommendation to see if they’ll like the show.

Here in the Midwest, I got a lovely view of…

Clouds.

The people who blabber incessantly about weed being a gateway drug are the exact REASON that I agree with them, but we VERY much disagree on the specifics.

Think of it this way:

Every adult in your life has told you that weed is JUST AS BAD as heroin and cocain and meth. You hear it repeated ad nauseum, ESPECIALLY if you were in DARE.

Now one day someone you have known for a long time offers you some because “it’s not that bad, trust me you’ll be fine” and they go ahead and take a puff or twelve. Turns out it’s not that bad. They were fine after some initial uncoordinated attempts at doing something.

So if weed is this interesting, maybe heroin isn’t that bad either?

Yeah turns out heroin IS that bad, and lumping it in with weed is like tossing the kindergarten bully into a maxsec prison.

So yeah, it’s only a “gAtEwAy dRuG” because you fucks lied for decades and made false equivalence of things and taught kids they can’t trust you.

Lol I wish it was just an 8 hour day.

More like 12-14 hours, and with the experience I had I was able to build most in about 6-7 minutes.

There’s downsides to speed building like that, because whoever has to inspect it when it gets sold has to spend a lot longer fixing minor problems.

If I were building at my own store, each bike took about 20 minutes because I made sure everything was as close to “ready to ride” as possible.

Nowadays I bulk build for many companies. They don’t give a shit about quality but I spent years making sure my bikes were perfect, so I still like to make them good to ride out the door.

my quickest bike was one particularly well put together model. 3 minutes per bike and it was good enough that I’d ride one without tools to the nearest store a few miles away.

I never thought I’d say this but “I want other companies to succeed at space travel”

To be clear, I don’t want any companies in space because they’ll simply ruin space the way they ruined earth. You will never convince me there aren’t executives salivating at the idea of exploiting slaves employees far away from earth and it’s " limiting regulations" so they can do whatever they want including just spacing someone out an airlock if they try to strike.

But so far it’s been more or less one company who’s been tossing trash all over LEO and larger trash between earth and Mars.

I’d rather space travel be open and easy for everyone, including some random guy who just wants a quick trip around Saturn. Of course we’re likely centuries away from that, and I don’t think we have centuries left as a whole.
