    I'm not sick, much worse: It's one of my kids. Checking out today, at least. Just a little non-fatal poisoning. ]:

    Now that my house at base is done, I was hoping to build a town house as well, so at least one person will be looking. Though I'd prefer a "rugged", unaltered plot.

    Stuck in the hospital right now, though, so I might be awhile in claiming one.

    Nice to hear! I became rather fond of that road from all the running back and forth I did on it before I finally connected to the nether rail line this week.

    Therefore, I plan on having the road cut through community storage rather than have it curve around it.

    I didn't realize you were one of the creators of the mod toolbox! That was so useful back before reddit went to shit. Good stuff.

    I like that pronunciation, if only because sz is one of my favorite phonemes.

    Like Sean Connery would say "crease", I've always assumed.

    Teen is asking if it can play on the server. I know that other youths play supervised, but this one would mostly be playing at a different time than me (single PC household). I'm not sure if it'll be allowed from our end yet, but I thought I'd take the temperature here before even starting that conversation.

    Any objections or concerns?

  9. Comment on Finland is the undisputed world leader when it comes to icebreakers – Finnish companies have designed 80% of all those currently in operation, and 60% were built at shipyards there in ~transport

    I thought, for the first half of the headline, that this was about conversational icebreakers, and thought "That just doesn't seem on-brand for the Finns."

    It feels that way, but traffic collisions have been the leading cause of death for children in every age bracket my entire life. Trains don't have that problem.

    Obviously "alone in a car" is in theory a hell of a lot safer than "with a bunch of strangers on the bus/subway"

    No snow for Chicago? That's disappointing. Its a great insulator and I need all the insulation I get.

    Same feels moving east from the Great Plains. These Yankees don't know what a blizzard or a thunderstorm looks like.

    Insulated the uninsulated part of my semi-finished attic. There's a guy coming to finish the rest of the room but with this cold spell I couldn't wait on him to get the insulation up.

    Can I ask, what are the walls made of? I want to expand the stop for the End to accommodate a second portal room, is why. Also I messed up the wall there accidentally, is another reason.

    Sorry! I messed up the wall a bit because I just winged it adding my portal without doing any math at all. Neither the location on the surface (currently: storage sub-basement) nor in the nether (terracotta alcove off the waiting room) are finalized, I just wanted to put something down I could use.

    Not really clear if it can be used with existing programs like MyOldBoy! or if it only works with software from the company. Anyone have insight on that?

    I just spent half an hour trying to understand some redstone mechanics (specifically gravity duplicators) and apparently no one is doing anything but videos these days. Isn't there anywhere that does text-and-diagram tutorials anymore? And how the hell do I find them because "-video" ain't doing jack.
