Sorry, I'm not American. Looking at it from the outside. There are a lot of things America can do better.

But from a purely math perspective, it's a good metric to explain why Japan has what it has.

I think, once all three pages are full, new effects randomly replace existing effects. This is how it used to work before they added the extra slots.

Assuming 18 effect slots, and a true RNG, this means they'll have a 1/18 chance of any feature being removed for each new effect.

Without doing the math, I'd wager this value is in the hundreds features added before all negative features are removed. But you could get very lucky and have five removed quickly.

Settlement terminals now show the name and class of their associated building when viewed through the Analysis Visor.

QoL fix. Very useful.

The first sentence doing a lot of lifting here. Actually trapped?

I'm bearded! Hurray for self-esteem reinforcemeny memes! ;)

That low eh

Nope, haha. OpenSuse is old.

This is an amazing graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg

OpenSuse comes from Suse which comes from Jurix and Slackware. There's a dotted line from Redhat, because of the use of the RPM format, but that is as far as their interbred. Many people consider it one of the OG distros.

Arch sprang from the aether later, but one could argue it owes Gentoo for its concept (also a dotted line there).

Debian is an OG. It, Redhat, and Suse are approximately the same age.

Slackware on the other hand just keeps going.

In some countries, your religion is on your national id. See, for example, Indonesia or Thailand. Greece had it until 2005.

In some of these cases, you could literally have government id that says "Atheist".

But it is largely a figure of speech. It means you not only identify with a group, but publicly identify with a ground.

There are a lot of people who are bad at business.

A $40 paper flower, and a $2000/mo lease. Assuming you are sole proprietor and have zero employees, and need an additional $2000/mo to live a meagre existence (food, apartment, etc.) and it takes you 15 minutes to fold each flower.

Minimum revenue to stay afloat, 800 flowers per month. You'd need to fold for 200 hours, or approximately a 40 hour week of folding. That leaves zero time to do any marketing. So you're relying entirely on foot traffic, or you're marketing as overtime.

To reach 800 sales per month with something so trivial, you'd property require a reach of at least 20,000 customer touch points per month, each who has the time to chat about paper flowers, because your conversion rate is going to be shit. If it's passive reach, you might need to get an ad in front of half a million per month. You'd need to be a tiktok celeb or something to get this reach without adding expensive ads. And that's a fucking gamble and a half.

There's no way this model works. And the fact that someone tried it isn't something to celebrate. They possibly poured their life savings into the drain, went bankrupt, and hopefully concluded they were bad at business.

If you want to sell paper flowers, do it as a side gig from you home. Or make them so luxurious that you can sell them at $1000 each, and rich people buy them as wedding presents -- then you only need to sell four per month and can spend the rest of the time marketing.
