He said “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”

Sounds like a boring 111 years

Krastorio 2 + space exploration on the same file works well together

"documenting the change" is a pipe dream.

If you've ever worked in maintenance, active production, etc, you'll be lucky to even have schematics. And trust me, there are a lot of hacks of people fucking with controls for 30+ years straight that soooo much of it is full of "fixes" like this, whether it's something pushing a button in, or pieces of metal instead of fuses, or wires jumping over what's "in the way" like whole safety systems and e-stops, contactors forced to run, etc etc etc.

Drills and taps two holes, adds a metal strap, and sacrifices a tool to save a 5 minute fix of jumping over the contact with a 2" piece of wire lmfao

I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it'll go back when released.

Sometimes there's a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it's maintenance.

Even drilling a few holes is pretty whatever. Just wear a respirator. Continued prolonged exposure is what will give you cancer. A couple random holes and single exposures aren't gonna be a death sentence.

I have an asbestos siding home and low-key love it. It's a great insulator, super durable, holds paint forever. Nobody should install it ever again, however. Once it's there, it's there for good. If it's damaged and needs replaced, then you've got problems. Remediation and removel is ungodly expensive.

Hell no

I test and design massive industrial electrical systems used in steel mills, power grid distribution, space equipment, coal mines, oil & gas, etc etc etc.

They didn't even figure out electricity at the time

I played through MGS4 recently on Arch Linux. Lots of community patches, and tinkering with settings. But it was mostly playable. Textures on any kind of screen in-game (like when a character is video chatting you), some of the flashback sequences, and a few random times the NV mode in south America went completely out of whack. But it was enough to look past the issues and enjoy the story and gameplay after playing MGS1-3

I thought this up until a few years ago. When I text these friends, they text back.

Also you can browse FB marketplace without an account. I have my roommate do the deed if I really need something, like a car this year, but most of the time I don't bother.

Vote (cope) harder

 

I'm out of the loop on modding Bethesda games like Fallout and Elder Scrolls but I've seen some posts here and there about using Nexus games.

Assuming Starfield is using the same engine, system, structure, etc, how possible do you think it would be to install mods? I'm going to be purchasing on Steam and running the game through Proton on Arch. Thanks.
