[8:13:01 PM] xx7xxxpowersxx: At least the online ones. [8:13:03 PM] jamesster: they were fast, the delivery dude was nice, and the pizza 'twas good [8:13:08 PM] jamesster: so I rated everything five stars [8:13:16 PM] jamesster: but then they had a text edit field [8:13:32 PM] Triangle717: I guess Pepper is still a good delivery guy after all these years. [8:14:00 PM | Edited 8:14:15 PM] Triangle717: Uh-oh. Text edit fields only lead to disaster. [8:14:01 PM | Edited 8:14:09 PM] Brigs: except he ditched the 'board [8:14:23 PM] jamesster: so anyway I wrote "I AM MOST DELIGHTED BY THIS EDIBLE CIRCULAR DELIGHT. SURELY YE ARE MOST TALENTED CULINARY EXPERTS" [8:14:40 PM] Triangle717: (rofl) [8:14:50 PM] jamesster: I like to think that maybe I just made some pizza chef dude raise an eyebrow I'm glad I was wrong.3 points -
Three landslide prevention mistakes to avoid
Lind Whisperer and one other reacted to le717 for a blog entry
It's safe to say that landslides occurring aren't just a fad. They're here to stay. Many are calling them the new frontier of the disaster world. With each passing year more and more Chief's are finally convinced that it's time to give landslide prevention a try. But as is always the case when launching a mining plan in a new channel, there are many pitfalls that Chief is unaware of. Because landslide prevention encompasses so many different channels, the number of possible mistakes are huge. No Rock Raider team will ever create the perfect landslide prevention campaign without making a few mistakes. But here is a look at three particularly rubble-creating mistakes and how to avoid them. Failure to enlarge for equipment For several years now mining equipment has been steadily increasing in size up to equipment for building the LMS Explorer. It's projected that within the next year, mining equipment size will surpass LMS Explorer repair equipment. Think about that for a moment. That means that more than half of the Rock Raiders working will be driving some type of enormously large mining equipment. Unfortunately, most Chiefs still haven't come to grip with this fact. Tunnels that aren't optimized for new mining equipment will have landslides occurring on half the Rock Raiders in that tunnel. Of course many of those will drive on through to collect the energy crystal they want by shoveling rubble and driving over lava. But it's impossible to know just how many new Rock Raiders Chief is not recruiting by failing to enlarge for new mining equipment. Fortunately, there is an easy solution to this mistake. GPS is a type of technology that automatically tells the Rock Raider the correct newly built tunnel to enter for the equipment being used to drive around in. Rather than having to operate one single tunnel for all traffic, GPS and new tunnels allows you the convenience of building multiple tunnels for different sized mining equipment that all lead to the same destination. No priorities When you're thinking as Chief, it's easy to just assume that Rock Raiders will know what you want them to do in the event of a landslide as a result of an order. The best orders are those that include priorities. By expressly stating what task you want the Rock Raiders to perform, you give priority and purpose to your order. While priorities are important for all mining operations, they are especially crucial for landslide prevention. A good priority will be very clear and impossible to misunderstand. Your priority should be short, demanding, and as overly detailed as possible. The right priority is often the difference between a safe reinforcement and a Rock Raider teleported safely. Failure to target area workers Most Chiefs, when asked who their intended Rock Raiders for their order was, would say, “all of them.†In an ideal world, all Rock Raiders would hear and be influenced to obey your order. But in the real world, trying to order everybody to reinforce walls through an order will result in reaching almost everybody eating sandwiches. A good landslide prevention order will be tailored for the Rock Raiders in the landslide area. Make sure you spend sufficient time choosing your desired Rock Raiders and coming to understand their incompetence and hunger cycles. With this information you'll be able to create a landslide prevention campaign that is much more likely to prevent that audience from getting covered in rubble.

Bad Translations
Wirza reacted to Quisoves Potoo for a topic
And Bad Translator mangles Melville: "Call me Ishmael." becomes, by way of Bing at 35 translations in random order, "My name is Sergeant (l) smiles." Also: "And is called freckles" "(F) to (l)" "Ismaël calls." "Ismaël, they said." "Ismaël." And "Sultan the dirty." The last one has a particularly interesting transcript:1 point -

Please actually look at the other places which might not be all that relevant, but still there's so many people asking 'help pls' and this isn't something like running the .exe through with a hex editor... You also need to extract the WADs first: This I find very helpful for it. Though it kinda was Cirevam's fault for not making it clear to new people who don't know anything about modding RR... oh well.1 point -

Celihopter, MOC.
Brigs reacted to Alcom Isst for a topic
I'm holding off on brickshelfing this, so I can prepare fanfare for it, and in case I think of an improvement. I am still excited about this, so here are a few images of my latest not digital MOC: The Celihopter! It is a large helicopter with nozzles instead of a tail rotor, plenty of interior space with detachable roof, and a main rotor with 5 BLADES. Sorry, it's a technique I developed that I am way too excited about. It's also one that I fear has already been performed before, but that is irrelevant. The point is, I am beyond giving helicopters the boring standard of 3 or 4 rotor blades per rotor. I am not beyond blending stone and non-stone grays though.1 point
