I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.

But maybe I’m overly optimistic.

Exactly that; I spent essentially all of my time reading. In class, between classes, after school. I had no friends because I’d changed schools and was close enough to graduation to not be worth making new friends I wouldn’t keep contact with. So I read a lot. The librarians even gave me another card so I could inter-library-loan more stuff.

It could, but if you deprive sleep to the point of hallucinations, you risk legit permanent damage. Which costs long term money.

But also please sleep better if you can, that’s bad for you long term. And you sound young. Don’t fuck up your future for no reason.

Even better, your microbiome covers your entire body (anything exposed to air) and into any organs that are part of the waste processing system.

So briefly after the snap you would see a vague outline of the creature, with a well defined digestive tract (mouth to anus), eyes, nose, ears, sinus system, and bladder. Because bacteria, viruses, and fungi are all quite small, the cluster of gut organisms would probably fall, and the rest would drift away. Imagine being in a crowded space and just breathing in all those bacteria, viruses, and fungi.. 🤮 I bet a lot of people would die from infections.

If the creature had any parasitic infections, like a tapeworm, that could also be left behind.

Something designed for use in the specific air patterns close to the ground would not be better higher up, no. That’s not how that works.

That’s what big wind turbines are for. And perhaps someday someone will make things designed to harness the high speed winds around tall buildings, but this thing designed to work in smaller gusts at or near ground level is unlikely to be it for a variety of reasons.

I haven’t played fallout, so idk how far off this is going to be, but if you like scrapping everything around you to make other stuff, have you tried dysmantle?

That’s basically the game - explore, destroy stuff in the environment (including nearly everything, except some buildings/structures are unbreakable because they are quest spots), use the materials to make better stuff so you can explore and destroy better. Increase the damage your weapons do to break more stuff. Etc.

There’s also zombies, but that’s sort of a minor part of the game imho (you get stuff for killing them that you need to level up gear, though, so not totally pointless).

I put about 100 hours into it to do everything except the zombie respawn thing because it’s too tedious (involves killing all enemies, in all areas, 4 times total, there are 16 areas, and some of them have 100-150 zombies in the zone. No thanks. But you don’t really get anything for doing that anyway except the knowledge that you did it.)

This is so weird to me because pizza is one of the few things I actually order for delivery.. there isn’t much around here other than 3rd party services, which I don’t use because I’m rural and the way it works here is just gross. Had 6 come in for the same failed order while I was out on Tuesday (menu wasn’t open for that item but it was ordered through another platform, and 6 people came asking for it for the same order because of how the platform works). I can’t imagine actually working there.

But I suppose in more urban areas, pizza hut is competing with actually good food also on delivery (for a very steep markup people are apparently willing to pay or the services would die), so it’s no surprise they can’t compete on their own; and still also turn record profits. Heaven forbid they die in the region. 🙂

For $40/mth no less.

Rationality doesn’t factor in. There’s a reason my mom asked for pads and not diapers, even though diapers would be easy to come by and the pads weren’t.

Literally dying, escorted to toilet, sponge bathed.. refused diapers.

She was an RN and worked hospice for a long while so she knew her options and chose the prideful ones.

And that’s ok. You have to live with yourself today and tomorrow and for however long after. Do what makes you comfortable, but please get some moisture barriers before you get to the “omg this cushion is full of mold” stage.

This is important.

I should also post but there’s a lot more involved in that. You post your own photos, best strip the metadata. Probably from anything you make originally actually.

I don’t mind that people don’t contribute top-level content, as long as they engage with it when it comes up. That encourages the people who do want to create, and gives those on the fence more of comfort doing so, because they aren’t alone.

If it’s a small community, it’s well worth the metadata strip, though!

I like to sort by new and give the poster a boost when I can, the comments really do make all the difference right now. I’m not a content creator though.. but I’m sure the engagement gives them validation as well!
