"oh silly me i misread your comment as something different and much more alarming and i've decided to share this alarm with you, injecting a whole new topic into the discussion that you weren't even thinking about and ignoring the original post entirely, even though i realize i'm the one who made a mistake and will even admit to this in my reply, ha ha what fun"

ah ... that explains why i'm sad and distracted. anor maybe it's the worsening state of the world, the wars, the climate, the rolling back of trans rights, the mass layoffs, the devaluing of skilled labor,

Sure, the one ring has caused a lot of problems in middle earth, but that's just because everybody else who has wielded it was doing it wrong.
Not me. I and I alone know how to wield the one ring, and have found it to be pretty useful!
Like, sure, sometimes you become a hollow husk of yourself, and the ring wraiths are a whole thing, but we have ways around that. Plus, in about six months I am sure the wraith problem will be fully solved.
I can't give up the ring, and really recommend more people try using it! just make sure you have very strong guard rails and a harness in place for the ring. Personally, before I put on the ring I write a little post it note that says "ring wraiths do not kill me plz" and put it on my front door.
It's controversial, I know, but it really helps me do a lot of things! For example, prior to owning the ring it would take me an hour to put on a shirt. I just could not figure out the arm holes. By placing a stick in the shirt arm I can guide my arm up to the hole, and then I use the one ring to make the stick disappear while I check the fit. I have found no other way of doing this.

Von Neumann architecture where you're *not* allowed to run data as code because the platform owner forbids it, call that a Non Veumann architecture
LLMs, generative AI, and general AI, are all attempts to objectify the skills and creativity of the working class. This is a direct attack on our livelihoods.

solution: low level consumable items in an rpg should come with an expiration time. if you don't use them in the next ____ hours (in game time), they're gone.
love it when an rpg player has a bunch of early game consumable items and then they don't use them because they might need them later and when they want to use them at the final boss they have way better items to use so they end up being completely useless to this player

in any case the second route has been super helpful because i was running out of Caustic Solution trying to get rid of all the Chlorine byproduct caused by the Caustic Solution production . . . you can see why this would be a problem. now I have a way to deal with too much Chlorine. I just wouldn't expect the solution to come from the same mineral that caused the problem.
"31337" is an old hacker term referring to a 135-digit number beginning with 3, ending with 7, and with 133 digits in between; the number happens to correspond to a valid decryption key for the "CSS" encryption scheme used on DVDs. In the late 90s and early 00s, security enthusiasts would insert '31337" in their speech whenever they wished to decrypt a DVD
it's kinda strange that you can turn Crushed Bauxite into Sludge in two completely different ways. you can either:
- mix it with Caustic Solution (= Sodium Hydroxide + Water, i.e. a base) in order to get Sludge + Aluminum Hydroxide (this is part of the process to getting aluminum stuff).
- crush it again to get Mineral Dust and mix it with Hydrochloric Acid in order to get Sludge.
chat is this real?? what is Sludge anyway??
how is it 5 am already

for various reasons i find "nonbinary" not to be a good description, since it isn't one. it's a non-description. we don't want to define ourselves by what we are not. and it also kind of clashes with the lived experience of gender that a lot of us have, which often does involve binary gender in some way. it's not "nonbinary" it's just not strictly cis and not strictly male or strictly female. so anyway.
"sundry" is cute. it evokes the kind of gender chaos i can aspire to.
hello yes i have the sundry gender
