Pills in blister packs instead of a bottle also reduces suicides. Just having to open a bunch of pill blisters instead of downing a bottle makes a noticeable difference.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
It can be. Lower difficulty and phoebe chillax as the storyteller. I highly recommend modding the game. Both the common QOL mods and tweaks to what you don’t like.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
Yeah mid game the cpu load gets bad. Some tips.
Cleaning up debris into piles to simplify physics calculations.
Removing gasses you don’t need that are floating around the map.
Walling off sections of the map with only one door to simplify path planning.
Killing off or consolidating the wild creatures.
Setting dups (like cooks) that don’t need to leave your base to not be able to leave.

The secret to good engineering is to know when 1+1 should be 3 and when it should be 1.

- Comment on Michael Mann's horror cult classic [The Keep] is finally available on 4k ultra hd 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the movie is… mixed at best. The book is the best horror novel I’ve read. The movie makes so much more sense If you read the book.
::: I still don’t understand Why he changed the core item from a sword hilt to a magic bazooka. :::
- Comment on 'Quatermass Xperiment': Britain's most influential sci-fi 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t. At first I though you were talking about Doctor Who. Then I looked it up and saw he did Quatermass as well.
- Comment on 'Quatermass Xperiment': Britain's most influential sci-fi 2 weeks ago:
It’s a solid series. Kind of Doctor Who without the Doctor.
- Comment on What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I decided to run away when asked to pay the bill. Failed the roll and while jumping and giving a double bird to the manager crashed into and old lady in a wheelchair. Manager was so upset he gave me a huge discount on the bill.
10/10 would play again.

- Comment on What are some new movies worth watching for someone who likes sci-fi and fantasy 4 weeks ago:
It’s great! Quick warning it’s two parts so the first just stops with a “to be continued”. Trailer m.youtube.com/watch?v=JaRLlh8Pw5A

Alienoid. Korean sci fi about aliens who put their prisoners in human bodies and the time traveling robot wardens.

I’m going to regret this but what is a gunt?
- Comment on Where to start? 5 weeks ago:
TNG season 3. The first two sessions are pretty rough. Start with 3. If you ever do a rewatch then try starting with season 1. Then try DS9.
TOS is good if you can handle the very low budget look.
- Comment on burden of knowledge 5 weeks ago:
They keep growing until they die. If they live long enough they get so big they either can’t get enough food or oxygen and die.
They have urinary ducts in their eyes and when they meet other lobsters they piss on each others face. If they have fought in the last week or so the loser backs down. If not they fight.
The biggest male lobster knows where the others live and once a week visits the other lobsters. Pisses in their face and then beats them up.
When a female enters estrus she goes to the biggest lobster’s den. He then beats her to help her molt. When her shell is removed they mate.
She is allowed to stay for a few days during the vulnerable period when her shell regrows and hardens. Unless another female comes by. The he kicks her out and the new girl moves in after mating.
- Comment on “Star Trek Origin” Movie Reportedly Headed To Greenlight For Production Start In Early 2025 5 weeks ago:
Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.
The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.

Springtime for Hitler. Somewhat fits. It’s an intentional failure that succeeded.
Popular boondoggle is a term we used to use at work. I’ve never herd it used outside that job though.
- Comment on Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails? 5 weeks ago:
Sunk cost fallacy is when you use previous expenditures to justify new expenditures so as not to “waist” the previous expenditure. It doesn’t imply the idea gets more popular like op is looking for.
- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 5 weeks ago:
Gums like guar and xanth. In small amounts they make ice cream better and help keep ice crystals small. I use them in my homemade ice cream.
Used in larger amounts they replace fat at the cost of taste and mouth feel. That’s what makes the ice cream stay a gel at room temp.

I had no idea that was him. Thanks.
- Comment on Lionsgate CEO on Borderlands bombing at the box-office: "Everything that could go wrong did go wrong" 1 month ago:
The second one has an ok story and great comedy writing. However it’s clever writing that often only works if you are playing the game.
The Claptrap birthday quest is hilarious but can only work if you are the player. The anoying robot throws himself a birthday party and assigns you to deliver the invitations and get the pizza.
A timer flashes on screen and all the locations are marked on the map. So a standard hit all the locations before the timer runs out mission.
Only the timer doesn’t start but you probably don’t notice or think it starts after the first location. You deliver the invitations and each person declines.
You return with the pizza and then the timer starts. The timer is for how long you have to stay at the party as the only person who shows up.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #47 - Cult of the Lamb 1 month ago:
I loved the idea and humor of the cult management part. Unfortunately most of the the game is terrible hack and slash dungeon combat. I refunded it after an hour.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 month ago:
It’s a famous quote. The contradiction is intentional. It means democracy has a lot of problems and often looks terrible. However when you step back and consider the alternatives they are worse.
- Comment on If you eat nothing but smoothies, do you still poop? 1 month ago:
In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.
A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 2 months ago:
They could reuse the SRB but the cost to refurbish them was like 90% of a new one. So it wasn’t terribly useful.

- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 2 months ago:
Low risk but inflation is above 3% so you are looking at less than 2% effective granted it’s a fairly safe investment.
