Maybe I just have better data hygiene than average, but I found that site to be absolutely hilarious. I was able to find myself, but my address was several years and several moves out of date. My phone number was decades out of date and n

Your car insurance works that way, in the sense that they generally have to pay you enough to replace the car like for like. A shirt is a bit different in that there is not a robust used shirt market where you can go out and buy a nearly ex

I don't think that's what GP meant, rather the common trope amongst cyclists is the the ideal number of bikes to own is `n + 1`, where `n` is the number of bikes you currently own.

Call me crazy if you want, but a mistake that leads to having to add a constructed tile to what should have been a purely carved room is borderline grounds for abandoning a fort in my book.

I'm quite certain that proximity has been accounted for for many years. Obviously availability was a prerequisite.

Yes. Lets see if I can make an ASCII rendition that renders correctly. `-` is level floor, `v` is a down stair, `x` is an up/down stair and `^` is an up stair. The simplest possible stair connection between layers is a down stair above

by 0xffff2 4y ago
Well, it is fairly impactful in that if the automatic stair generation puts a down stair where an up/down stair should have been, there is no way to completely fix it. You can build the correct stairs, but it will never be carved out o

They're obviously doing the latter. The numbers are virtually exactly the same across the west. We've already seen residential wells run dry in California and Oregon at least as farmers just drill deeper and deeper wells.

On the other hand, for DF veterans "just replaced the ASCII graphics with sprites and changed some hotkeys" would have been the most charitable thing they could have done. I haven't played the Steam version yet, but my readin

Is it true that you can't manually choose what kind of stairs to place anymore if you want to? I read a Steam review that claimed that your stair example is true, but it doesn't always work perfectly and there's no way to man

Is that different from simply making all labors enabled by default in old dwarf fortress? >the game intelligently assigns work based on dwarf skill and pathing distance sounds like mostly what happened before.

>I'm from Europe and I have separate cards for credit and debit, but the ATMs in the US still ask me. This is true in the US as well, but most US debit cards have a Visa/Mastercard logo on them. Those cards can run the transact

This is definitely not my experience (or the experience of anyone I know) in the US. Debit cards don't ever involve a fee charged by your bank here. Businesses may charge a fixed fee for debit transactions, but that hasn't been co

There are procedures for this. If the votes in the legislature reflect reality, a veto can easily be overturrned.

I wish I could have this level of optimism. If US voters actually wanted all of these things, there is absolutely no way that the margins in congress would be as razor thin as they are, gerrymandering or not.

Obviously HD means more data which means more packets that each router in the chain has to process. A quick bit of research leads me to believe that the passive power consumption of your average LCD monitor is orders of magnitude higher tha

It was indeed great for seeing the country when I was a teenager. These days, the idea of living out of something similar to a first class airline seat does not appeal and sleepers are outrageously expensive.

So what? I waste far more time every year browsing Hacker News than I ever have dealing with government bureaucracy. The difference between 0.02% and 0% is indistinguishable in reality.

by 0xffff2 4y ago
0.02% (i.e. 0.0002) of your waking hours wasted doing taxes every year? That really seems like a lot?

At least for the US government, that's not going to happen. The government controls the servers is a non-negotiable contract term. We even have our own AWS regions for US government work.

A 4x2 4Runner is an absolute waste of parts. If you aren't going to take it somewhere that you at least sometimes need 4x4, why on Earth are you buying a 4Runner at all? (I know, because it's a status symbol, but that's not w

FYI, apples don't grow true from seed. The apples you get (if any) from your tree will likely be nothing at all like the apple they came from.

It's a seemingly rare case where the US terminology makes more sense than the rest of the world. In the US, a "fixed" mortgage is a fixed rate for the entire term of the loan (usually 30 years). Anything else is called an ARM
