Oh that sounds like fun.

Oh they could have. To be honest I’m not sure why they didn’t.

Exactly. It’s not that it’s a small amount. It’s the “why”.

What did I mess up and is it going to require a team of people to prove there isn’t some nefarious thing going on.

Same reason you get mailed a 12 cent check that cost them more than 0.12. It makes the books make sense and if the check expires then the amount moving into the right account then also makes sense.

So they can sign off on the numbers as being correct.

Or any company. Accountants absolutely hate Pennies missing. Dollars are easier to stomach but Pennies makes them nervous that some miscalculation that signals a bigger issue is going on.

cat eyes
cat: no such file or directory

This is inappropriate on so many levels:

• If there are eyes and you touch them it’s wrong.
• If a person doesn’t have eyes touching where they are isn’t going to be a winning strategy either
• If you touch a file in Linux called eyes and create it people will be very confused
• If there’s already an existing file called eyes that’s disturbing. What? Why?

They work great but they are destructive. E.g. dont use on surfaces that shouldn’t have abrasives (glass, granites with coatings)

I love them though. It’s like a super fine sandpaper for some projects.

Can’t focus on anything but highly adaptable to every scenario. Ha!

Reminds me of this… which is so perfectly animated with the constant shift in focus.

Please help us. Our village suffers raids every night.

Uh huh. But first, how many people live here?

[jots down notes]

And how many are attacking you?

DM: So… boost to perception for the entire party?

And because the wire gauge is less than the wiring in the wall the breaker won’t trip before it reaches the point where it’s overloaded either.

Possibly to deal with the ozone things like this can produce.

Find a pair of gloves you love and use Conductive thread sewn in an x pattern a few times. Works great.

Oddly enough no electrical tape on twist connectors.

They should be tight enough to hold the wires together and adding electrical tape just makes it harder to see if they’re loose or coming loose.

Personally I love WAGOs for that and they’re cheap enough now.

One suggestion. Some of the terminals are wrapped counter clockwise to the screw.

You want them to be looped in such a way that when the screw is tightened the loop is pulled into the screw instead of being pushed away from it.

You can see the way it’s wired here. Each one relative to the screw.

And to add to the conversation(if there’s anything incorrect please let me know) from videos I’ve seen by MentourPilot, Captain Joe and online sources

The process will most likely look like the following (assuming an emergency descent is needed because the cabin can’t be pressurized like with the window vs some smaller hole air leak):

• They will put on their own o2 masks (it’s critical to do this as you can lose consciousness in under a minute)

• They will set the transponder to a code that denotes the emergency to both ATC and nearby traffic

• They will radio the distress both for ATC but also nearby planes to give them a heads up that they’ll be rapidly descending. If it’s in a high traffic area they may wait for approval to begin descent (and you can be sure ATC is going to be moving planes out of the way.). If it’s taking too long they will begin descending anyway.

• They’ll announce to the cabin that they’re doing an emergency descent

• They will start a rapid descent to 10,000 ft (if terrain allows it, otherwise down to whatever they can safely get to). This is because the emergency o2 is limited to about 15 minutes.

Some interesting things I learned about this.

They will often use autopilot for the descent and level flight. This is because of limited visibility and a risk of possible issues caused by low o2.

They turn on all lights to make sure they’re as visible as possible to other traffic.

This descent will be really unpleasant. Not a gentle descent but the safest one (especially if they’re unsure if there’s any structural issues) they can do. Which will be quite a bit steeper than anybody is used to.

So passengers on the plane will experience this as:

• Loud rushing noise. Possible moisture filling the cabin now that you have outside cold air mixing with warm air and surfaces inside

• Masks dropping and seatbelt signs

• Shortly after the Captain saying “Emergency descent” 3 or so times

• Flight screw scrambling to seats and putting on masks

• The sound of the wings adjusting for speed brakes, shuddering from the flight profile change,

• The sounds of the engines being revved up to the planes maximum speed as the nose of the plane tipping down. It will feel like it’s faster than it really is with the shift in gravity followed by being pressed back due to the increase in speed during descent.

• The plane shifting as they turn away from the main traffic area as they descend (unless told otherwise by ATC, etc)

Not a fun experience I’m sure

Wait… wait… [chewing] he’s got a point

It’s a foil in Majora’s Mask but, after a little bit, a kind of ally in this one.

You find yourself waiting for it, as it enables you to move on to the next jaunt you’re going to make.

The entire game is one giant puzzle rather than MM where it’s alot of smaller ones that the mechanic gets in the way of.

I went and edited more into the answer. Trying to capture the feeling about it so that they aren’t afraid of being annoyed. Hopefully I handled it gingerly enough.

The one mechanic is similar, yes. But the gameplay and exploration are drastically different.

I can’t praise the game enough… it’s just so good.

For example. You’re in a dungeon and then it happens and you go back.

In some ways something happens when you’re pulling on some thread. There’s no dungeons, no goal (explicitly). You are exploring and as you learn more you realize there’s areas to check out because they’ll answer some question you have about what happened or why something is the way it is.

In this case perhaps the mechanic occurs and you find yourself briefly annoyed. But then you go back to the spot, this time things are in a different place and state and you realize something happens that allows you to go further which leads to another thread/mystery.

And then you’re off. As time goes on you learn to accept and then even invite it. More and more you unravel deeper mysteries, learning what and why and then seeing earlier conclusions in a new light.

Why it’s happening, how it’s happening, what can be done and can’t, etc. it’s really a one of a kind experience.

If you like Sazed there’s some interesting twists coming for him.

For Vin you come to realize she’s less of a hero and more a pawn in various groups using her winning the genetic lottery.

Now… if you like characters that struggle with trauma. Way of Kings has a very troubled protagonist.

But yeah. As for sci-fi (especially ones that can span years) you might like Alastair Reynolds Revelation Space series.

Any good sci-fi suggestions?
