I could tell it wasn’t Vintage Story from the Ore.
- Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this? 1 day ago:
They are trying to get you to deposit a counterfeit check. It most likely wouldn’t clear your bank, but if it did, you end up on the hook for the entire amount of the check with no money, and they get the amount that you sent “back” to them.

Huh, I guess I’ve been lucky only lived in tornado alley for 15-20 years, and in just a 7 year span I saw multiple F-0 to F-1s, what I’m pretty sure was an F-3, and a confirmed F-4. I’d rather deal with earthquakes and high housing costs, than ever see one of those terrors again. Thankfully no where I lived got hit directly, as you said their impact is small, but terrifying for a couple mile radius.

Well it’s tiny! 9.8 × 8.4 × 5.6 km. It doesn’t have enough mass to be spherical. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if most of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter are weirdly shaped.
Just take a look at the moons of Mars, they are both just big rocks.

The target human seems a bit small to me, but I am 193 cm. Neat site!

Wall Gator looks like he’s doing less damage than Niel The Seal from Tasmania.

Sharks are also older than wall, but cannot traverse them. This is why you jump sharks, rather than walk them.

#KillRacingNotHorses
California alone has already had 20+ horse deaths this year at only 3 tracks. No legitimate sport would accept the deaths of their athletes on a routine and consistent schedule, as just a fact of life.

TIL. Apparently the farmers in my parents area are a bit more picky. They made hay for the horses, and silage for the cows. The pigs get slop, grain, and any bio-trash that’s available.
- Comment on Fingies 5 days ago:
Hay ≠ silage. Hay is tedded and dried grass/straw. Silage is grass that has been fermented to make it easier for cows to digest.
I grew up in farm country surrounded by pigs, horses, cows, and an absolute FUCKTON of tobacco, corn, and soybeans. Also a fair amount of weed if you knew which cornfields to go into.

West Virginia should be red as well

Nope. Those were official SEGA games. This is literally the reason that the SEGA vs Nintendo wars started.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 week ago:
That wasn’t actually good for the cartridge, long term. My parents provided us with q-tips, but we were a Nintendo family. I had a few friends that had the SEGA Master System, and though I don’t remember the titles, I do remember several cartridges that we never played, because there were problems with the game a level or two in.

It’s a modern day Half Life 1. Fan remake, with greatly expanded Xen levels.

If you haven’t grabbed it, Black Mesa is like $3 right now during the summer sale
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 week ago:
Try playing the original SEGA catalog. Lemme know how many of those games work.

- Comment on Surviving a heatwave : Prison Edition 1 week ago:
If you look into building codes in North America, you’ll find out that they were almost all decided by industry board rooms with no public engagement. You don’t need a conspiracy to make every cheap and sturdy form of construction illegal, when the people that wrote the regulations were literally owners of Portland Concrete, several timber companies, and several “insulation” companies. You don’t need a conspiracy when a group of rich people just acted in their own self interests.

While you can do it that way, I don’t know the process. I know how to make tannin by soaking oak logs in water.
- Comment on I just wanted a new recliner 2 weeks ago:
I’m a blacksmith, not a tanner, so I don’t know.
- Comment on I just wanted a new recliner 2 weeks ago:
You’ll want to look up some tutorials. I oversimplified the process.
- Comment on I just wanted a new recliner 2 weeks ago:
Two entirely different processes. Hides are skins cured with oil, fat, or salt to prevent them from rotting. Leather is a skin that gets soaked in quicklime, scraped, soaked in weak tannin, and finally soaked in strong tanning ro turn the skin into leather.
- Comment on I just wanted a new recliner 2 weeks ago:
When you skin an animal, you have two choices. Cure it, or tan it. If you just let the skin be, it will rot. You can cure it by coating it in oil, fat, or salt. That will turn into a cured hide which can then be used like other fabrics. Alternatively you can soak the skin in a solution of quicklime (ground limestone dissolved in water.) Then you soak it in a barrel of weak tannin, followed by strong tannin. That becomes leather. There’s a few more details, but that’s the gist.

You have to shed the inertia you already have to fall into the sun. The difference is about 30km/s or 108,000 km/h to slow down enough. The rotational plane of the solar system can be used to speed you up to escape velocity, especially with a slingshot off one of the giants, so it requires a lot less fuel.
