he even said there was an article regarding this in American medical association's magazine and there are several cases pending in international courts regarding this.

So I made an earlier comment thread with this same information, but people might not be able to find it in the future, so I decided to make it a text post. I also added aburger's images which were very helpful for me personally.

Bring a tinkerer's crafting table to your water source, to use with those early recipes requiring filled buckets before you can get a Forestry workbench.

Make Forestry workbenches ASAP! They will make your life 10 times easier, especially when you are about to enter LV.

You can raid your local villages for books before you can make them yourself.

You can safely use any coal or coal coke you find to make torches.

By the time you need it for crafting etc, you'll have an easy time getting more. Beef wellington is a really good meal that is pretty easy to make and grow things for even early on. The footlongs are also pretty decent and easy once you have eggs.

Berries are pretty good as an all around food source as they can be turned into juice, and milkshakes which aren't great but they do the job.

You will probably find a couple of copper, tin, iron and so on ingots in various chest throughout the world. There's no point in trying to save these thinking they might be valuable later.

By the time you get to the point where you need those specific materials, you'll need such quantities that you need to find a vein. If those ingots can help you right now, use them.Emeralds are really easy to get and are used for just about nothing. You can safely use them for trading and/or to increase durability on your early tools (it's not the best modifier, but it's a pretty cheap way to get +50% durability early on).

You can use an oversized RailCraft liquid fueled boiler to get rid of your excess Creosote before you have ways to store or void liquids. It will produce some steam even if it doesn't reach max temperatures, as long as it's above 100 degrees C I think.

Pollution dissipates from dangerous levels to literally 0 in like an hour or so once you stop producing it. It has no lasting effects, so you don't need to worry about permanent damage or anything. It can kill plants and trees and stuff if it gets high enough, but once it has dissipated (ie after an hour or two) you can replant your stuff and everything will be back to normal. I spend way too much time avoiding pollution, expecting it to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be. Just make sure to spread your pollution produc

I've previously posted my thoughts on this in another sub with my other account, but I've made myself a writing account and I've had some additional thoughts...

I don't have a cohesive story involving these concepts, but this is where my brain goes when it's unsupervised, there's a few problems I've come up with, some I've solved, some I haven't. I'd love to hear what you think would be an interesting problem with life and killing on the moon.

Navigation: the moon has no magnetic field so compasses won't work, GPS (LPS?) would be difficult and unreliable (jamming, spoofing, and anti-satellite weapons); so I think stellar navigation would be necessary, I just really want to see an ultra-modern army using sextants.

The horizon is considerably closer on the moon as it's a smaller sphere, so most engagements would be indirect fire (like artillery), or fast and close. The terrain is more varied too, the lower gravity allows taller mountains and steeper ravines, so using defelade and reverse-slope ambushes would be common. Weapons don't lose penetrating power over distance though, so a handgun would be just as effective (though difficult to aim) at horizon distances as CQB.

The lower gravity and no atmosphere would mean dust and smoke behave very differently, the dust from an arty strike could block out the sky for minutes, but not because it "hangs in the air". The velocity of falling dust is equal to it's intial upward velocity, so walking through a collapsing dust cloud could be extremely dangerous as some of the particles will be falling at the same speed of the intial explosion. Also the muzzle debris from a shot would fly alongside the projectile, so it would be possible to "feel the wind" of a near miss at relatively close ranges.

Regolith and "fines"; the lunar soil, or regolith, is not weathered like the soil on earth and is made up of jagged aluminium and silicates a little bigger than molecules. This combination makes lunar regolith extremely toxic, abrasive, and penetrating. Living on the moon would suck, everything will need constant maintenance, and suits will wear and tear quickly, especially if you're prone, running, sliding... soldier stuff. My current idea is a suit that's got a silicon layer which can stretch at the molecular level to prevent fines from gathering in folds and creases. Also I think it would be beneficial to wear a hooded trenchcoat to protect from raining dust, solar wind/radiation... plus it looks totally badass in my mi

SPOILER WARNING: I THINK TALKING OF SPOLERS WITH REGARD TO A GW BOOK IS AN OXIMORON, BUT CONSIDER YOUSERLF WARNED. WILD SPOILERS ABOUND AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS WALL!!!!

The Wall is said to be such an immense a structure that could “wall out the world”. Gargantuan enough as to make Severian feel as if “the walls of a common fortress must rise before a mouse” and “the people…[]… like mites and the beasts like ants pulling at little crumbs”. Even holding “clouds captive at their summit”.

GoT's Wall, inspired by Nessus' Wall (G.R.R. Martin has acknowledged Wolfe's influence)

In Severian’s own words:

>Pag.240:I:35: I have already spoken of its height. There are few sorts of birds, I think, that would fly over it. The eagle and the great mountain teratornis, and possibly the wild geese and their allies; but few others. This height I had come to expect by the time we reached the base: the Wall had been in plain view then for many leagues, and no one who saw it, with the clouds moving across its face as ripples do across a pond, could fail to realize its altitude.

The Wall perimeter is so huge it “stretches completely around the city [of Nessus]” encircling it fully.

Observe how the Wall encircles the whole city plus plenty of open space around it. By u/deimosremus, modified from Lexicon Urthus by Driussi.

This structure awakens immediate fascination and endless questioning. What is its purpose? Who build it? What is its real nature? How does it fit with the bigger picture at a plot and thematic level? In this micro-essay, I try to give my best shot to answer this enigmas.

THE WALL AS A WALL

The first intuition of the reader when coming across the wall is that it is exactly what it looks like: a fantastical defensive structure that protects Nessus from its many enemies. That idea is reinforced when we start to realize that the Commonwealth counts among its foes with beings of titanic dimensions (the Megatherians). A cyclopean wall seems the most appropriate structure against this kind of gigantic enemy.

Nonetheles, we are are very early in the narrative discouraged from that interpretation by Jonas

>*Pag.299:II:8: [The Megatherians] actual size is so great that whil

Hello! So I was wondering if anyone has used these two products. They have descriptive similarities (snail extract in their product description, claim they help with wrinkles, from the same brand, and are overnight masks), but I imagine the experience and results are different. So if anyone has had used both or one of them, feel free to tell your skin type and results. Thank you!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Sugilite is quite a rare gemstone, and it’s incredibly beautiful too. It was first discovered in 1944 by a Japanese petrologist named Ken-ichi Sugi, which is where it gets its unique name.

Sugilite is both a mineral and a gemstone that’s best known for its vibrant pink to purple colours. Perhaps the most popular shade of the stoneis referred to as ‘grape jelly’ due to its rich, lustrous shades.

Sugilite is a sodium potassium lithium silicate mineral that gets its colour from small amounts of manganese. The colour and properties may vary as manganese can also be substituted by iron and aluminium.

A tiny deposit of sugilite was found on the small Japanese island of Iwagi in 1944. However, these stones were not gemstone quality and the stone remained largely unheard of for several decades after. Another, bigger deposit of sugilite was later found in an environment similar to that of Iwagi Islet, but in Quebec, Canada.

South Africa’s Wessels mine in the Northern Cape has a large deposit of sugilite, which is currently mined from a strata-bound manganese source. Other reports suggest that sugilite can be found in Italy’s Liguria and Tuscany, the New South Wales region of Australia and Madhya Pradesh in India.

Dyed marble and quartzite have been used as imitation sugilite. Other less commonly used materials for imitation sugilite include serpentine, which is generally used for smaller items such as beads.

The physical properties of sugilite include a hardness of 6.5 on the Mohs scale. The colour can be characterised by numerous different shades including:

Purple

Violet

Light brownish-Yellow

Sugilite is colourless in transmitted light and can have white streaks.

Sugilite is known as the ‘healers stone’ because it balances the brain and is used for epilepsy and migraines. It’s also associated with the crown chakra and b

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!

BamBOO!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
