How does one get the square shaped ships? They seem far more powerful than the round ones and I can't find any in the upgrades.

oh please stop... don't take something as joyous and wonderful as Factorio and try to make it about misery. I play games like Factorio to not worry about the world's problems for a few hours.

it might not be so bad <div id='counter'>42</div> is not so many more bytes than... { counter: 42 } also - no massive up front JS bundles to contend with

Yes, it should be, but then you possibly end up voting "no" on something that is then weaponized against you in the next election. "Senator so and so refused to support the end of violence against babies!!" or other such

I agree with you, having a rational conversation about NN and the FCC is sometimes difficult here. It seems like people just downvote anything they simply don't agree with. Your comment is a perfectly valid observation, yet people acti
