I read it to mean that this method has confirmed "almost no real person has spoken to me".
You're gonna have a tough time. Better off taking the hypertube.
I don't do budgeting, per-se. For personal expenses, the idea of pre-planning everything we're going to spend just seems like overkill. Maybe that's just cause we're not close enough to the poverty line for real financial hardship. But I find a reactive approach works well, rather than proactive.
I keep an accounting ledger that I update every 1-2 weeks. The ledger is just a big Excel (actually LibreOffice Calc) file that I setup with some formulas and pie charts to make it easy to see when expenses are outpacing income, and what our biggest expenses are if we need to cut down for a while (spoilers: it's utilities and food).
I've tried a handful of different free accounting applications in the past, but never found one I liked for the above purposes. I ended up starting a project to make my own, like a year ago, but I haven't gotten around to finishing it. The spreadsheet approach has been working well enough. All the custom app would do is help automate the data entry.
Finishing out this building with walls. Had to move a few pipelines and power outlets that were in the way, but I forgot to get shots of those.
Oil Processing facility is next. Same treatment, starting with painting...
...and lighting.
Bacon Cheeseburger.
I re-watched the movie a few months ago, and I had a similar realization: it was quite depressing to see a depiction of NASA that is now entirely lost to us.
Moving on, we have the copper processing facility, that feeds Circuitworks.
Painting, walls, windows, lighting... it's all just cosmetics at this point, just matching what we did at the main facility.
Yeah, it's been 3 months, but I can explain: Blue Prince came out. And then Nightreign.
But I spent the last week-and-a-half of June migrating the screenshots in the first 154 posts off of lemm.ee, before the shutdown, and that re-ignited my itch for Satisfactory.
The last building I was working on, back in April was the main facility for Circuitworks (Computers and High-Speed Connectors), and I actually finished it back then. I've had these screenshots sitting around since then.
So, picking up from there, I finished out all the tubeway around the area that I hadn't yet finalized by replacing the scaffolding with support pillars.
I should also put my normal caveat in here about not actually buying one of these. Please, please don’t try to buy one of these awesome cargo e-trikes. This is a silly, tongue-in-cheek weekend column where I scour the ever-entertaining underbelly of China’s massive e-commerce site Alibaba in search of fun, quirky, and just plain awesomely weird electric vehicles.
Essentially, it's satire.
Almost half of voters said they are likely to support a new political party proposed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to fresh polling.
Horseshit. No way is Elon's popularity that high, after he so effectively alienated himself from both US parties. I'm guessing the poll just asked about supporting A third party, not Elon's third party.
Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he's totally not responsible for it.
Give it some time.
I am officially stealing this. Goddamn.
Roughly the same as for any type of software: make shit.
If you've already got experience with general programming, that helps a lot, you can probably just go straight into a super simple game. My go-to recommendation for programming in general is "make simple something that already exists". That gives you goals that are very clear, and reasonably achievable, so you can start getting some of that satisfaction feedback quickly. For a game, I'd say do something like Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleship, Solitaire... something that isn't gonna require a whole lot of art, just to get going, and isn't gonna take weeks to get a working prototype.
Godot definitely sounds like a good bet to get going. Even if you end up moving to another engine for projects in the future, that doesn't invalidate your time spent on this one.
Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.
Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.
