  • Nah its cool factorio guy doesn’t HAVE to leave.

    No pollution, no biters.

    Very doable.

    Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

    You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

    Eternity awaits.



  • From the site:

    Directing portions of proceeds to Luigi’s GiveSendgo defense fund

    our products are not officially endorsed by Luigi Mangione, his representatives, or any associated entities.

    So no, it’s not official.

    They have some photos of donation receipts but there’s no amount, I haven’t made the effort to see if the IDs on them can be publicly traced to that.

    Nowhere on the website does it say what portion of proceeds are donated.



  • Hypothetically, yes, but during covid was when a company had to truly learn the work-at-home model. Some succeeded, some failed, but the reality is it was an excuse not to try. Automated is cheaper, and laying off employees because a pandemic has closed doors is a great excuse.

    “I’m sorry, due to an abundance of caution we are unwilling to reopen the offices and do not have the infrastructure to have you work securely from home, so we’re going to have to furlough everyone until further notice”

    Then they have a month testing the automated system and hit “good enough” by their standards so then they say the furlough becomes a layoff and everyone loses.





  • They used it to create potions and spells that are equivalent to the medical industry, as well as the beauty industry, sports, frivolous things like that.

    It’s implied serious research goes on, but never really shown.

    There’s also wizard versions of cops, and government officials, naturally.

    Magical knowledge replaces engineering and math as well. A civil engineer’s building design equivalent would be a series of complicated spells put on a small building to make it a massive one inside.

    Also in the books, Hogwarts was really only secret to the muggles, every wizard in Britain knows where it is.

    But imagine all the high schoolers who complain "why do I need to learn algebra, I won’t even need it in [job]. It’s like that. Some won’t need it, but it’s still a useful skill.



  • If you can keep tabs on other people, I like to get hotels, watch someone scramble to match me (trading at a loss to get a set, mortgaging everything else, etc) so they don’t hemorrhage money to me, then downgrading to houses just before they cross me.

    Only actually pulled this off a few times, but the pain in their voice as they were forced to sell their hotel, just barely, to pay rent, but had to downgrade straight to nothing, and they know I have all the houses now, that’s even sweeter than just getting the houses in the first place.

    Once someone teased me a property giving me a second set, so they’d have a first, only for me to do this to them after getting lucky and getting the browns to hoard houses on. Quick game, no one was happy.

    Sidenote: winner picks up is a role in my household. Gives the losers a way to go “ha ha” and helps keeps bad feelings at the game table and not afterwards.
