I assume the UK would be obligated to adopt the Euro as a currency, and i have no doubt some people would absolutely rage stroke.

I think I'll probably just avoid staying in a zone for too long rather than attempting to tangle with it... dang. Genuinely terrifying.
Part Five of the Expansion Pass DLC for THE LONG DARK Survival Mode adds the Cougar, Misery Mode, Sundered Pass Region, and more features & content + bug fixes!
That could end up whiplashing as the administration passes between US factions, no?
So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.
"Hey let's make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds"
Oh, that sucks. I hadn't heard about that cancellation. Still, SpaceX set an unreasonable timeline and expectations of the client, and that should have consequences.
I've really come around to the Forsaken Airfield. The little cave on the lake under the cabin kinda ended up meaning a lot to me. It's close to game and has good lines of sight. You need to put down trails on the ice to deal with the fog. There's a crafting bench and forge near enough to be useful with a day hike. Once you've looted the region, it's pretty nice.
The other cave on the lake would also work but it's less central, but is closer to the zone transition to ZoC.
Monolith Lake is also a high point for me, and more useful now that there's a bunker with a crafting bench in HRV. It just feels like a nice place to be. Good food security. I wish ice fishing were more viable in Interloper. Maybe with a snow shelter.
The next part of TALES features the Cougar, Cheat Death, Misery Mode, and a new Region!
Oh good. Hopefully it gets into the next release. Always hoping for some extra FPS.
Metal grids and motors are worth their weight in gold. Hydrogen thrusters are vanishingly rare, that's where I'm bottlenecked at the moment.
Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.
The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.
In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.
I really thought Harbour Air would be first.
Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.
The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.
She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.
Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.
I've been using rspamd for a while. It may be extensible to do token based classification like you want but it may take some work.
I think it might be. Loom at the ovals painted on thr concrete. The rear of the plane is in the same spot but the tip is way forward.
The place next door just got rebuilt as a fourplex, each unit of which is going for 1.6 million dollars. The mortgage would be $8k/month. I and my partner have no kids, no car, and both have solid incomes in union jobs. Our current rent is a hair under $1k/mo because we've been in this place awhile.
That mortgage plus taxes, utilities, would still be almost all our income. It's ridiculous.
I'm confused by the EV charger thing in that. Are they complaining that money was spent by the condo board that didn't personally benefit them, or that it was installed without any notification to the building owners?
Crazy. I believe it. Maybe it's some combination of overpressure and sudden vacuum. Love your description, thanks for the effort.

Survivors, the September Dev Diary includes information on an upcoming Quality of Life, new details on Part Four of TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, and more.
A relaxing morning (Day 520) cooking in the airfield. I've found the control hut to be the best spot for it: the sheltered place between the two buildings shields you from the wind from two directions, and the opened doors mean that if the wind blows straight through from either direction, at least two fires will keep going.
Personally, I don't bother to repair my (Interloper) gear until it hits about 70% condition. I feel that reaches a good balance between keeping gear in good condition and not feeling like I'm wasting cloth/hides. If I have more than (say) two bearhides or four deerhides around, I'll repair earlier. And of course rabbithides are super easy to get and renewable, so I try to keep those above 90%.
Of course, I have a lot of cloth laid up now, and beachcombing is a fairly reliable source, so maybe 70% is too low. Should I go to 80%?
Clothing issue, in my opinion: The moose cloak doesn't have much practical use in difficult game modes. It doesn't really win on any useful metric. Pretty much every Interloper player goes for double bear coats.
Bearskin Coat: 6C warmth, 5C wind, 80% water resist, 20% protection, -20% mobility, 5kg. 1.20C/kg inner slot, 2.20C/kg outer slot. Wolfskin Coat: 4C warmth, 4C wind, 60% water resist, 12% protection, -15% mobility, 3kg. 1.33C/kg inner slot, 2.67C/kg outer slot. Moose Cloak: 3.5C warmth, 4C wind, 90% water resist, 20% protection, -10% mobility, 4kg. 1.875C/kg outer slot only.
For the outer slot, the wolfskin coat has the best temp/kg, and the bearskin has the highest raw boost (11C). For the inner slot, the wolfskin coat has the best temp/kg, and the bearskin again has the highest raw boost.
Water resistance, wind resistance, and protection are fully irrelevant for the inner slot. Water resistance is irrelevant unless you travel during a blizzard, which is fairly easy to avoid, and the high water resistance of a bear coat makes it almost as good as a moose cloak. Protection is generally never worth optimizing for, unless you plan to get in struggles, but the bear coat matches the moose cloak.
I've never used a moose cloak, since for only one extra kilogram, you gain 3.5 degrees of extra warmth on the outer slot, one of the best bargains in the game, only losing 10% water resist and 10% mobility.
So how do we make the moose coat useful? Some ideas:
- Nerf the bear coat's water resist. Make it much more likely to get soggy.
- Buff the moose cloak's weight. If it was 3kg, the weight ratio would be 2.5, making it more weight-efficient than the bear coat, almost as warm as the wolf coat, but substantially more water-resistant and slightly better for mobility and protection. It would then be at least a sidegrade for the wolfcoat, and might make sense in some situations.
- Make the moosecoat more appealing. Give it say 3.0C warmth and 8.0 wind, so that it matches the bearcoat for the outside slot. Then, the moosecloak-bearhide combo would be the same, but 1kg lighter, and it would add additional logistical challenges for survival, forcing you to bag the odd moose in addition to the bears.
A couple observations:
- Sewing needs some kind of quality buff. The percentage condition boost you get from repairing is almost always partly wasted, and higher levels only increase the wastage.
- The amount of effort needed to get to level 5 mending merits a much better reward. In Interloper, you aren't ever going to be leaving your gear to 50% condition before repairing. I don't know what such a buff would look like. Maybe you use less cloth when you hit level 5, or maybe you can repair your gear to 120% instead of 100%.
- Sports socks are gold if you're just aiming for level 5. 0.10kg, and very fast repair time. Hoard them, haul them with you until you have level 5. You can consume a lot of cloth fast.

Any other good watches? I love this game for background atmosphere.
Cooking a moose and working on "Skilled Survivor", really enjoyed this screenshot from a cave in Bleak Inlet.
Also, I've found that if you really need a very fuel-efficient cooking method, having multiple fires going lets you use one stick for like 25 minutes of runtime, since stuff still cooks during "Embers" and pauses for a while afterwards. A pile of sticks can cook a ridiculous amount of meat by doing continuous relights among a bunch of fires. It's a lot of work, but if you're short fuel, it might be worth it.
