Seems like a reasonable assumption is that it gets 90-95% of its BMR per day; that is, its fed enough to stay alive for a long while, but it us on a duet and chronically hungry.
If you fail to kill it and survive, yeah seems like going home empty handed is the safe assumption.
Lol, not the intention.
I’m thinking of trying to start some kind of rope making operation in the hut (VERY wild card assumption that the resources for this would be available). If you and your two buddies could make enough rope to hog tie the Rex, then successfully did the thing while it slept, maybe you could also build some level of choker for it to suffocate the beast?
Idk, but I know that’d be a lot of rope. Gotta get multiple people on the task.
Convo about what animals we could fight in a 1 v 1 fight came up, and a buddy chimed in with some solid piece of wisdom on the matter:
“If you think you’re gonna lose, then you’re gonna lose. Thinking you can win doesn’t guarantee a win, but its impossible to win if you don’t think you can.”
I had similar thinking, but limited the group to 3 (some hopeleslly low number).
there’s a very good reason why humans absolutely dominate every animal on earth - our intelligence
Gonna have to slight disagree on this one. I’ve always found out ability to organize and communicate in generalist situations to be far more valuable than individual intelligence (though that’s also nothing to shrug at compared to other animals).
Naw, part of me is wondering if you’d be more likely to succeed in a 1-on-1 with the knife or a 3-on-1 unarmed. I still can’t think of a good strategy, but I feel like wed stand a better chance that just any one of us out there.
Yeah, working some radicale related stuff on my end. Roommate decided tasks.org was the most useful to-do list app/implementation for keeping track of house chores. Gotta say, hate that radicale has basically no front end, but boy has it been crazy easy on the plug and play side.
But yeah, looking to take an old tablet and set it up as a kiosk for showing the days chore list. Might be the beginnings of me trying my hand at building a full fledged smart speaker (X to doubt tho).
I really struggled with reading (well, listening to the audio book) Dawn of Everything. The narrator just seemed to take this tone of “I’m smarter than you and you’re a fool for having ever thought to the contrary of what I’m saying”. Seems like narrator was British, so maybe that’s just my sensitive American ears.
Nonetheless, I really felt talked down to and couldn’t muscle my way through it on account of that. Don’t suppose there’s other books that convey similar message / lessons with different tone that you’d recommend?
Similarly, I was def a dumb ass as a ~23 year old. And I am consistently impressed with my co-worker s at that age. Despite thinking their lingo is dumb, I do they they’ve got their heads on straight in a really good way.
Yeah, all those are really good points.
I def have a knee-jerk reaction when I see early 20’s friends (let’s be real: female friends) dating middle aged folks (again, being real, middle aged males) to be wary about the relationship. But intellectually, the conclusion I come to is that its fine.
I do specifically agree that the other people focusing on an age based power imbalance feels like they’d also be calling for you to only date in your income bracket, and then also to only date someone who’s as physically fit as you, which then leads to well you should only date someone of your race and/or ethnicity.
Something, something, slippery slope argument. But it is logically comparable.
Other commenter s keep going on about a power gap and how easy it is to manipulate younger folks.
Yo, I don’t know what early 20’s people y’all interact with, but upwards of 50+% of the people I work with are 21-26 and gonna say this is patently false. Labeling them all as easily manipulatable or saying they lack the means to make ends meet feels like some kind of paternalistic ageism.
These young whipper snappers might be annoying with their mog maxxing and 6-7s and shit, but they’re also whole ass adults.
Personally, I’ve found features of Adobe that FOSS has struggled to replicate.
I hate adobe, but am tethered to them for their cabailities with certificates and certificate verifications. Plus a bunch of the docs I use never quite render correctly in other software.
That said, if you’ve got any fresh recommendations, I’d love to hear them.
I means pound.
It really is obvious that the abbreviation for pounds comes from the Latin word for the instrument used to measure pounds when the unit was originally established, a Libra which means scales or balance.
I really don’t get how people can’t keep up. /s
Admittedly only dumped ~20 hours into one game, so may not have the most holistic view on the game.
But feels like there’s a ton of quests that are “go hunt this monster”, find out the monster’s motivations, realize it was the humans/“civilized folk” who dealt the first blow / profaned nature / failed to perform some ritual, Geralt grits teeth and sides with civilization against obviously wronged nature/monster.
So yeah, I didn’t see any “its actually domestic abuse” quests, but the games are crawling with “humans have hubris/pride that is their own downfall” commentary.
Eh, yes?
Feels like a different flavor of “intelligence” since one is problem solving focused (“how do a beat an unbearable for with minimal gear”) while the other is waiting for “triggers” and having “responses” ready (“I’m at my spot and need to wait for guy #2 to run past to drop the anvil”) and then not freezing if one of the triggers is slightly off.
So anyway, in general, both probably count as intelligence, but in this specific case, I think its worth differentiating one from the other. The best organizer/team player is not gonna stand out when working alone, while the most intelligent problem solver may not be able to work on a team.
