    This is how I see it. Explicit material per capita could even be lower than what it was in the beginning for all I know. With how many people there are now compared to before, if it was higher now, I feel like we'd see even more.

    I don't take a lot of pictures with my phone but when I do something along those lines I try to remember to take a picture, that way I have record that I did a thing. Like a scrapbook but even easier. You could even make accomplishment pictures their own folder if you needed them to not get scrambled amongst normal pics.

    Seems on par. Now they're going after the only valuable resource left, the niche communities where you try to find actual products worth a shit. I'm glad I left, it was already becoming mostly bots.

    Idk what Home Depot's website is made on but boy, I tried to go to it on my phone the other day and I might as well have just gone to the store instead. It had to refresh like 4 different times searching for something and god forbid if you click on the wrong thing while the whole page is jumping around loading.

    As a long time TM fan, the live service is annoying for me. I bought it recently just to play 1 specific custom map. Now I feel like I have to play more just to not waste the money. I bought TMUF back in the day and bought and had fun with TM2. Now the three times I've wanted to play 2020 I've had to pay, this third time even more because they removed the cheap teir. :/

    And they tout "deep simulation" as the first thing on their website https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/cities-skylines-ii/about

    I don't remember if its in those video or the countless others I've watched where, even if you try changing what is taxed, the businesses weren't moving out and becoming the thing that is taxed less. I think the person I was watching was trying to get textile companies to move in because he was making the raw material for it or whatever, and just couldn't get them to move in no matter what he did. It's wild and all lies from their marketing material.

    I was looking forward to this game until it came out. Performance issues aside, they ruined the simulation aspects. All of it is basically lies and its sad.

    Hi! I use teams at work and it works great for what I do every day. 2 meetings a week and lots of text chatting in a group DM mostly, with the occasional text/screenshare call from an individual.

    One other problem is that we need to know what the starting pipe S actually is. This is a very tiny edge case but you have to look at the adjacent pipes fitting it and in the loop rather than just adjacent pipes fitting it.

    This is an annoying edge case you just helped me find for part 1, full input data. I couldn't get the right answer to save my life but it was because I checked each side of my S and it was messing up my traversing. Thank you!
