As a long time player since update 6? Or so…

I took time off work because I knew I wouldn’t be able to get anything done at work, because I’d be thinking about my factory all day long.

I have all day today, tomorrow, and all weekend to get the initial hype out of my system before I go back to work.

It gets really good when you get smart splitters. You don’t even need to really progress much in the game to get there, you just need to fill out the caterium tree in the mam. Then you can have one input for all your biomass stuff and smart splitters that take it to the constructors that will convert it to biomass, then into the constructors that will convert it to solid biomass, then into the burners. 👍

I used to build such lines in update 8 that output to a bin and I’d grab it for the burners… Just collect whatever biomass I can while I’m out getting things done and dump it every time I get back to the hub area where it was setup with the burners. It was a little ritual I had. The input on biomass burners will really cut down on how much time I have to think about it.

:)

I’m playing 1.0 now, I just unlocked smart splitters, and I have to rebuild my biomass processing as a result.

There’s also the dimensional depot which I rushed to, and that’s a complete game changer. Finally got enough materials to just set it up on my production lines, and I’m planning to add one for biomass, so I always have a little biomass in the depot for when I’m out and about and a drop pod needs power.

Only 500? Noob.

… I’m kidding. Wanna play on my self hosted dedicated server?

For me, the first thousand seemed to fly by.

You’re right. I should try harder to be stupid if I’m going to impersonate the Don.

So what you’re saying is… His only friends are on Twitter.

Surrounded by yes men.

I just don’t understand how he thought this was something he should put on a public forum.

Maybe a snide/sarcastic remark along friends, sure… It’s still not in good taste, but at least it’s contained to people you should trust.

But… On Twitter?

Why?

Making rude/inappropriate comments, however, is very on-brand for Elon.

You know, there’s good people on both sides. People with a lot of value and good ideas. It reminds me of my businesses, so many good people. There’s a lot of good people in this world. You know what else is good? Watermelon. It’s a melon… Made… From water. How incredible. It’s delicious. How do they do that?

• Trump, probably.

A lot of good options. You can also do a link to something that comments about how distopian work can be, and/or how mundane/monotonous it all is…

I think an example of this is “every day is exactly the same” (NIN), or maybe gratitude by VNV Nation… IDK.

Kid on the lower right has two right hands…

Kid on the top left has an impossibly long body, head/shoulders above their “dad”, and their leg is hanging off the side of the bed.

IDK what is going on with the kid in the bottom left, and their feet?

There’s a lot wrong with this picture.

Apparently that persons fetish is for a mutated family

Paste in the link for Rick Astley. You know the one.

I assume you have a doctorate in veterinary care on which you’ve based this statement?

Ipmi is your friend.

Is that the same database my user couldn’t connect to today?

There’s always backups… Right?

… Right?

I’m not going to disagree with you. I just want to point out that if they manage to get their offspring infected when they also contract something… They have a chance of winning a Darwin award…

I’m not saying any of that is a good thing.

Who dreams this up?

Nobody. Nobody dreamt it up. They are just remembering the hard reality of the early 90’s and the before times.

You know, before everyone was connected and online 24/7/365. Before “online” meant anything.

When you left your 9-5 job, drove home listening to the radio, because you didn’t have anything else to listen to, and got home to dinner on the table because you didn’t need your spouse to work for a living to make ends meet, in your home that you were able to purchase, and food that wasn’t largely artificial.

The phone would ring during dinner, and it would just keep ringing, because you’re spending time eating with your family. There was no answering machine, so it would just ring and ring.

And if nobody ever answered it, they couldn’t tell you to get back to the office because some emergency happened.

Maybe you went to the park, maybe you were out to dinner with the Mrs… Maybe you just didn’t care enough to pick up the phone. Anything could have happened.

Unlike today, where we’re bombarded by marketing and notifications constantly. All of which are demanding that you address them ASAP. Everything is an emergency, so put down your “three ingredients away from plastic” dinner, and pick up your master, and obey.

I am all out of bubble gum.

I hate the mentality of “I had to suffer, so you should have to suffer too!”

And so many of them have that attitude.

It’s just gross

Their biology is still that of a carnivore.

“The cat (Felis catus), also referred to as domestic cat or house cat, is a small domesticated carnivorous mammal.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

“A carnivore, or meat-eater (… Removed for brevity…), is an animal or plant whose nutrition and energy requirements are met by consumption of animal tissues (mainly muscle, fat and other soft tissues) as food, whether through predation or scavenging.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore

Further down on that same article, under characteristics:

“Characteristics commonly associated with carnivores include strength, speed, and keen senses for hunting, as well as teeth and claws for capturing and tearing prey.”

“Carnivores have comparatively short digestive systems, as they are not required to break down the tough cellulose found in plants.”

“Many hunting animals have evolved eyes facing forward, enabling depth perception. This is almost universal among mammalian predators”

Scientifically, according to their biological makeup, and nutritional requirements, cats meet all the criteria for predatory carnivores.

This is their biology. I’m not arguing for or against any science that makes them no longer required to eat actual prey/flesh that they needed to hunt and kill themselves. Biologically, their characteristics, digestion, and by proxy, their nutritional requirements, very solidly put them into the scientific category of carnivores.

One of the chief biological indicators of a carnivore vs an herbivore is digestion. Whether the animals digestive tract is designed to break down the cellular walls of plant matter. Cats lack the biological capability to break down the cellular walls in plants because of how their digestive system is configured.

Among everything else that points to them being a carnivore, that’s a big one…

Just because they can get the nutrition they need from not being a carnivore doesn’t change their scientific classification as a carnivore. They’ve evolved into efficient hunters, and though, for domestic cats, they are not required to hunt to live, they have all the tools for it.

Until they evolve to be capable of digesting plant matter more efficiently, that classification will remain unchanged. Regardless of whatever pseudo-science you want to convince yourself of.
