In my experience, it’ll eat through the rubber seals first.

Or worry about all of the asbestos, lead, and formaldehyde -laced building materials that were all of the rage in previous decades.

Ah, US. I’ll have to try VPN’ing in.

Already out of stock. Non-US keys. I didn’t realize they might be region-specific.

The only things in that range around these parts are going to be burnt out husks of a house with a cheery “fixer-upper” in the listing title…

Did they say how they analyzed the models? Because looking at the silhouette and other similarities isn’t enough to prove plagiarism when it comes to 3d models.

What you have to do is open up both the original and the suspected copy models and select a couple of similar vertices (the points that give the model geometry) and compare the position down to the decimal place. If they are even a little off, then it isn’t a copy.

Didn’t even have to be the US.

Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe’d.

Ah, yes on the first count at least, though that criteria wasn’t on your bulleted list, I guess it was in the title.

That being said, UV breakdown might not be as concerning in the short term if the substance is removed fairly often. I wonder if a clear gelatin or glycerin layer would last long enough?

I’ve also seen resin-infused paper-like substrate layers of material like carbon fiber attempt to bypass the requirement of an FEP. Each print layer was a new sheet and once the print was done the un-cured material was blown away.

Technically, I believe Mercury fulfills those requirements.

Otherwise, maybe something like Glucose?

There are a few substance here that meet that density: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/liquids-densities-d_743.html

But, as far as resistance to UV and immiscability with UV resin, testing would be required, as I’m assuming you intend to replace the FEP film layer with a dense liquid.

Honestly, if I’m seeing more than say two or three currencies or kinds of bits to keep track of, it’s a no for me. I don’t care how much I’m in love with the concept.

Mainly because I don’t have the available real estate at my place to break out every other War & Peace- worth of board game, but especially if it looks like the setup time is will take longer than playing an actual game.

The longest of the redud expeditions so far, it took me over 9 hours to complete, far, far less than the last time it was here.

The wisdom is incorrect though, in the sense that you aren’t ‘disposing’ of the oil using this method. You are simply hiding it while simultaneously toxifying your immediate environment.

How they used to get rid of motor oil back in the day.

I managed to do the entire thing in a couple of hours.

Some pointers:

• Metal Plates. You’ll need a lot of them so mine a bunch of ferrite dust if you want to speed up some of the base building, specifically for the power grid & mining.

• Chromatic Ore. Used in just about everything. Find a copper vein after you get the terrain tool, set the tool to it’s smallest setting, and mine the entire vein. You’ll have just about all of the Chromatic Ore you need after processing it in a refiner. If you dig a tunnel underneath the vein, you’ll also avoid the weather.

• Finding water is your best bet for the crystals you need to fix the ship. Floating crystal formations also carry them on occasion, I believe.

• Take a look at the other tiers of tasks, doing them out of order is sometimes preferable. One of them grants the magna-gold recipe for another part of the ship repair.

• If you have trouble finding Larval Cores, look for distress signals from planetary charts, there’s a <20% chance that they’ll point you to the abandoned building that’s surrounded by the eggs.

• you can build a tiny base using the 1/2 size pieces to complete the base building. They cost 1/2 as much so you need less ferrite dust.

• build the minotaur as soon as you can (via the expedition task that grants you the recipe). It can keep you safe from the weather and the hostile creatures. Plus, it’ll drastically cut down on on-foot travel time until you get your ship fixed.

Hope this helps!

I did well to start, only died once before I got a decent set up going.

That being said, the hardest task I had was the Larval Cores. I’ve never had such a difficult time finding abandoned settlements before…

The original Homeworld also scaled difficulty based on how well you were doing on previous levels.

Behold! The D4

You can never trust a zealot.

Especially one from a nigh-suicidal death-cult that’s hell-bent on speeding up their version of apocalypse…

I had a game where done other players tried to pull the “shopping episode” stuff twice before I had to put my foot down.

We hadn’t even gone on our first quest yet. We had no Gold to buy anything.

If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

• Wasn’t exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
• Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
• Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.
