Hey! You learned something today. Great job!

That’s not entirely true. Texas seems to have a problem with people leaving for various services and it’s a federal crime to transport certain flora between states, even if it is fine in both states.

You are so close to VOR!

Indy 5 felt like an Indy film, which was really nice. My only 2 notes for them to work on would be 1) more practical effects, avoid CGI except for the “supernatural” scene and 2) I appreciate they used the practical effects of speeding up playback for the tuk tuk chase, but it felt too sped up, almost campy.

Overall though, after seeing 4 in a midnight showing and it being the movie that caused me to never go to another midnight showing, 5 was excellent!

Actually it’s by design! Right side is for the lower ports, that’s why there’s the number with an arrow above it.

But if the game doesn’t take 5 minutes to load when am I supposed to say goodbye to my family and grab the last thing I am going to drink that day?

There are a couple avenues of attack:

1. The camera- It the camera can’t see the board, it can’t provide moves. An IR blaster may be a valid tool to blind the camera, but not the player. This could be a battery and LED with a switch that is placed next to the board.
2. The internet connection - If the AI can’t talk to where the processing is happening, it can’t get answers. Anything from a jammer to a metal cage would work here, but watch your legality.
3. The device itself - anything to stop the device from working. This could be a EMP, but that’s rather non-selective.
4. The board - limiting information from the board in a way humans can understand but AI currently can’t. This could be as simple as only showing half of a board at any time.

The IR blaster is likely your best bet, else it might be time for a ruling of “no electronic glasses at the board”.

Right now the plan is to go to Vulcanus. I will be packing a landing pad!

The ship can carry way too much, so the plan is to take 300-500 panels and a couple hundred accumulators!

Good call! Noticed the silo can’t be packed, but everything to build a silo can!

I know some people don’t think it’s legit, but I play on peaceful. Prefer the zen of building without interruption or having to rebuild.

How fast can it make the Kessel Run?

Factorio Space Age, but it wasn’t on sale.

bloated IT budgets

Can you point me to one of these companies?

In general IT is run as a “cost center” which means they have to scratch and save everywhere they can. Every IT department I have seen is under staffed and spread too thin. Also, since it is viewed as a cost, getting all teams to sit down and make DR plans (since these involve the entire company, not just IT) is near impossible since “we may spend a lot of time and money on a plan we never need”.
