I’ve said this before, but Factorio is genuinely the only thing that has made me lose track of time before. When I’m goofing off into the wee hours of the night, normally I have a vague sense of time passing. I won’t know what time it is, but I’ll know that it’s late and I should probably stop whatever it is I’m doing (and won’t). And then I’ll look at the clock and it’s 2am-- late, but not surprising.

But then came Factorio. This was when I first started playing, around the time I just started making black science packs. I was refitting my bases to work with laser turrets, and making minor modifications here and there like upgrading from 2 saturated belts of iron to 4 and such. Nothing major. I’d just do these things, maybe an hour or two, and head to bed. So you can imagine my surprise when I look at the clock and it was 5:30 AM. I was baffled; I had no idea I’d spent that long modifying my base. Like 7 hours straight, no breaks. And then the exhaustion hit, and I saved and went immediately to bed.

Cracktorio man, the addiction is real.

Hey OP you forgot to include the Silksong announcement that definitely totally happened 🤡

“If I say I’ll get something done, I’ll get it done. No need to remind me every 6 months about it.”

But Sam told me it was feet.

“there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers”

g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo’s Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit

Just curious. Matt talks about this exact forum argument in the book while on the topic of off-by-one errors. Super hilarious book, highly recommend.

By chance, have you read Matt Parker’s “Humble Pi”?

I don’t think Roger Craig Smith is bad, and I think it works well for the modern Boost era. Being said, Ryan Drummond will always be my Sonic.

Unfortunately, it seems Wario got the short end of the stick. Wario’s voice in the new WarioWare trailer is very noticeably different.

“Mean and Median are the same”

God I’m stupid. I misread what you wrote as raising water to 70°, not raising water by 70°, without even thinking that that’s not how you make tea. Fixed my math, and the numbers now check out.

My math: Boiling a cup (0.24 kg) of water from 25°C to 70°C ~45kJ (0.24kg×45°C×4182J/kg°C) Raising 0.24 kg of water up a height 30,000 m ~ 71kJ (0.24kg × 9.8m/s^2 × 30,000 m)

So my math says raising the temp of a cup of water from room temp would be equivalent to raising it about 19 km high.

Edit: I’m a moron who can’t read, boiling water from 25 to 100 °C takes:

0.24 kg × 75 °C × 4182 J/kg°C ~ 75kJ

Except American aerospace.

I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an “abstract study” even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?

No, but my professor let me lick the lab equipment when I was done.

yo it’s coco jumbo
