I'm too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven't elaborated on yet.

Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I'm absolutely going to get my money's worth - this kind of game just doesn't exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.

I just got this game and I'm having a blast, this is the style of game I've been hungry for for a long time.

500 internal errors in console, video doesn't play

I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don't have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots

i'd settle for more sidewalks in my town

on some streets they just paint a line down the road and call it a sidewalk - one of these is on a road touching an elementary school

I'd probably do this for a hobby project

but financial software? no way in heck!

It's "rice" because it's asian; it's a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn't the same everywhere.

Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don't think they are aware of what I'm recalling here.

A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: "riced-up Honda civic"

Office is weird about it because of their OneDrive product

Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they've got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear

This is not answering your question (I can't argue for my current SWR, it's the trinity study minus a random fudge factor), but I've implemented an idea that I think others would benefit from.

I've been tracking my current withdrawal rate through time, based on my periodic calculation of baseline expenses. I suppose I could use actual expenses, but that's remarkably volatile, so instead I take the 6 month average of recurring costs.

The benefit is a nice time series graph I can watch. I can plot a horizontal line for my current expected return on capital, and another for my safe withdrawal rate.

The net result is a lot of information condensed nicely. You can see at a glance if you're trending towards safety, or away from it.

most of the people buying these are buying a costume, not a work vehicle, if my neighbors are any indication

it's a status symbol

The Wicked Problem of Trading (matthewscheffel.com)

I wrote a farewell to the thousand plus hours I spent on trading

I traded futures in my personal account, worked for a small trading firm, and have always been into a rational, scientific look at evidence.

I gave it as good of a try as any retail trader can, and learned a lot. Mostly that it's a waste of time, because trading is a wicked problem.

This is a plea to others that might get sucked in to run away and touch grass instead.

 

...

Luckily, I had some repair tools (specifically a hot air rework station), enough experience to make me cocky, and a general disregard for the risk of destroying the thing.

It's as good as new now! Details in the attached link, I hope it helps someone else; I was flying blind.

Haloomi Salad (beehaw.org)

I made an arugula salad with a bell pepper, some cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, and ~~grilled~~ pan fried haloomi. Honey mustard dressing using fancy raspberry honey.

It was a nice light dinner!

 

I'm grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread

I'm not very good at it, but it's not terribly hard to close up broken seams good enough for some use. It sure as heck beats buying a new pair of jeans for $70 just because I somehow destroy the crotch every year

I'm finding this to be really satisfying and relatively easy to do. Certainly I can develop better stitching technique and use better tools and material, but it's easy enough to be good enough, or so it seems to me now
