Day 83 of posting screenshots every day, of whatever I've been working on that day, until I run out of content or get bored
  • Oh man. In my experience, they prefer to make sharp turns into the station rather than out of. However, there is a limit to how sharply they will turn into it.

    They also don't seem to like to have the truck stops so close together. In the initial recording phase, it's very easy for the trucks to get confused as to which station you want it to stop at. I got around this by flipping one of the truck stops around so that they don't share the same lane.

    Good luck with this endeavor. Truck routes are my least favorite way to get materials around. I wish they would have refined the recording process or at least made editing recorded routes easier in 1.0.

  • Why is removing stuck rings with dental floss painless for some people?
  • The overarching answer is "people are different". But I suspect you want a more granular answer than that.

    Depending on various factors like age, sex, hydration status, disease process, etc., some people's skin is more elastic than others. People also have different pain tolerances. If you mix and match all of these factors, you'll get people reacting differently to the same stimuli.

  • Big Ol' Beavers
  • People vary in height throughout the day due to spine compression. You are at the tallest in the morning before your spine has had time to compress. Adults get shorter as they age largely due to the same phenomenon taking place over many years.

    But I think that says "average human" and not "average height".

  • Oh shit, I forgot I wasn't living a life free of exploitation again!
    1. Upload Topic A
    2. Comments discuss Topic A
    3. OP edits post to Topic B
    4. Comments reflect Topic A discourse.

    When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I've seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

    All that said, I'm sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

    I'm sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn't really matter too much in the end.

  • Can someone tell me if this game cartridge is authentic?

    I bought this off Ebay but I am not sure if it is authentic or not. Can anyone here tell me or point me towards a resource I can use?

    Is there a decent set of submergible earbuds?

    I like swimming but it gets a little boring after a while. I'd love to listen to music while I swim, but I don't want to carry a radio or bluetooth speaker with me to the pool so I don't disturb the other swimmers. I bought a cheap set of submergible earbuds but the sound quality is atrocious.

    I am more than happy to pay for quality submergible earbuds, if they exist.

    bonus points: I also have a waterproof pouch for my smartphone that has a headphone jack. It's ok, but if y'all have recommendations on that front as well, I'm all ears.
