  • Yeah, stuff like where the direction of flow depends on the order you’ve built the pipes isn’t realistic at all.

    I’m looking forward to try the new mechanics and I don’t think the new system will make trains obsolete. Using tons of pipes will create large buffers, which will have low throughput until the pipes are filled sufficiently. You might still need to build pumps regularly to prevent backflow into large buffers, e.g. to not cause huge backflow into the entry pipes when connecting another new oil pumping outpost.

    They could also add other mechanics for balance, for example if a pipe gets destroyed that could empty out the whole associated buffer (as the fluid would’ve leaked out), again making huge pipe networks dangerous.









  • I switched mostly to Linux when windows 8 was released, but I don’t mind 11. It looks quite nice, the start menu is pretty good and normal again compared to the ugly full screen shitshow from windows 8 and the weird hybrid thing from windows 10 and most of that foreign mobile metro crap from windows 8 is gone again or reintegrated into the desktop.

    Having tabs in the explorer is also super nice.



  • The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it’s not actually basic at all. It’s a great full featured IDE)

    Basically you’re only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

    It’s not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.

    I’m not eating from the tip of my penis.

    Phimosis is completely physiological/natural for younger boys and actually helps to protect the head of the penis against infections.

    If it needs washing, you can just spray water from the shower head into the opening.

    But it’s also kinda like the vagina for girls. It doesn’t really need washing or special treatment unless it’s infected.

    In any case, messing with the penis of your son and making them feel unhygienic or like their foreskin is a problem is likely much more damaging than a little bit of smegma.




  • Texts still aren’t free in Germany, most of the time, they usually cost around 10 cents each. Sure, you can get free texts for around 2€ a month, but it’s an optional add-on to your plan and not worth it for many people. Especially as everyone uses WhatsApp or Signal anyway, which are basically free (pretty much everyone has a data plan, obviously).




  • When measuring lengths and time, metric units are super useful. Micrometers, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters and Kilometres are easily and often converted in a lot of technical jobs.

    Same with nanoseconds, milliseconds and seconds when dealing with time in simulations or other computer programs (e.g. game development).

    Milliliters, Centiliters and Liters are commonly used in cooking.

    What’s wrong with hectometers? I don’t know how often they’re used but dealing with a factor of 10 or 100 to the next “regular” unit (meters or kilometers) is no big deal.
