They certainly can and have been the downfall of many of my colonies. The highlige meme for instance. Have them take psicite(sp?) Tea every 3 days for a basically free mood buff with little. But if you do run out of the tea you are in trouble. That’s why I like the ideology you can change as you go. You can reform and make it meet your current situation. Did you get a sunblocker off map and you can easily go hydroponics? Reform and take the darkfighting memes to boost your combat ability and hamper your enemies.

A plague take out your goose flock? Reform and remove the rancher memes to stop the downsides.

There is a lot of new stuff. I’m looking forward to playing odyssey because we get to visit more maps. Who cares if my toxifier generator pollutes the area of I’m leaving in 10 days :D

If you are being hit by meteors you have a mod enabled. Mods can be very imbalanced. You don’t need to build a kill box or a specific defense to succeed. Some ARE more optimal but not required at all.

I don’t think ideology is for RP. I can see how that could be a thing. I look at it more as easy mood management. Stack the buffs and minimize debuffs. Converting isn’t hard if you don’t mind imprisoning your pawns for a bit. If you are recruiting prisoners just break their will, convert and recruit.

I’ve tried all DLCs except odyssey. Unfortunately I’ve been away for the past couple of days, it looks amazing. I would recommend biotech DLC if you are looking for a suggestion. It’s very player driven in it’s consumption. You don’t need to play a genetically altered vampire mechanitor lord. You can just play with mechs and dip your toe into it. Maybe mess around with some genetics later in the play through. To be honest I still have not fully played a successful vampire run. It doesn’t appeal to me as much

Ideology adds flavor to your plauthrough and can make your playthrough infinitely easier as drugged up, cannibal, raiders or infinitely harder as secular, tree hugging, ranchers that need to cut down trees for their sky lantern festivals but worship trees and get upset when they cut trees down. Not that I accidentally did that at all.

Anomaly is a horror expansion that adds more events and a little to the base game. It’s under royalty in my recommendation.

Hold on now! He posted those clean drug tests from his computer the other day. Clearly he would not lie about his drug tests!

For us tall people the California king is bigger in all the right places

All moralities of what they are doing aside, them sleeping on the floor isn’t that uncommon for the first couple of days moving into an area. Typically the next step would be to get a base or lodgings set up.

When the 2nd from the top on the right doesn’t work I proceed to hit all of them. Normally that works

To the best of my memory. It has to do with sound actually traveling in waves. Depending on when the waves hit each other they can cancel out (to some extent) or add to each other.

I don’t even think the colleague is a dick. OP doesn’t like kids so they wouldn’t want to do this, no problem. Colleage has kids and wants to meet up but has to bring kids, that doesn’t make them a dick. It’s just their circumstance at the moment. I have kids, if I want to go out with friends I either make sure they are OK with it or find someone to watch them. If a friend reached out to me and wants to hang out but I have nobody to watch the kids then I’m not a dick for saying if you want to then I have to bring the kids.

You always have the right to say no. It doesn’t make anyone a dick.

I stand by the fact that even IF this was the ending he had in mind he would have been able to build to it better than the bullshit that D&D did with it. If the last season was drawn out over 3 seasons it would have made a lot more sense.

Still a crappy ending but it could have been better.

If there was any lesson learned from GoT TV show it was don’t let the TV show finish before the books do.

I enjoy standing while in meetings, helps me think so it just made that easier. I used to stand 80% of the day now I find myself sitting 80% of the day.

I tried arguing with them that my name wasn’t “Current Resident” it went about as well as expected… lol

I put my girl down a year and a half ago. She was an eight year old rottie that loved life, Loved kids and loved me. She had cancer growing in her brain/snout that was making her angry, agitated and a danger to others. Could I have waited a month or two longer? Maybe, but she wasn’t happy anymore so it was time. I paid for an autopsy because I wanted to know, the cancer was everywhere in her skull/ muzzle taking up 1/5th the brain cavity.

Holding onto her for longer was unfair to the years of happiness she gave me. In the end I couldn’t be selfish and had to let her go. So maybe try that route with your wife? It was the hardest decision I ever made and I cried all the way to the vet and thought about turning around a couple of times.

VLANs and least privilege access. Everytime I see this is the same thing, everyone hates on automation. Just do it right. If you need to sign up for something use a alias and different domain. Username+4@throwawaydomain.com for that annoying Philips hue login.

Have different wireless SSIDs setup for each purpose on different vlans.

Personal/home SSID

Guest SSID

Work SSID

Automation SSID

Use port security to stop automation and Guest SSID/VLAN from accessing places it shouldn’t.

Easier to launder money and have illicit money activities through crypto than fossil fuels

Again, those seem to just be excuses to my untrained political eye. As someone that fairly regularly deals with red tape, if the powers that be want to cut through the red tape they can and will.

Yeah, because they “didn’t have enough to make any appreciable difference.” I say similar things to people I don’t want to help but I don’t want to upset them. Sorry I don’t have time to do that, having one more person wouldn’t make that big off a difference etc.

You may very well be right. And that exact reason is the only reason they didn’t send eggs. But I’m guessing their are more than that singular reason.
