So, for context, i am expanding and Gleba is watery. So i need landfill, but my stone sources run out of it soon, so accessed a new one.

Down there I quickly did the math.

My train has 4 wagons, and each of them has 40 item slots. One slot gets filled with 100 Landfill.

1 landfill is equal to 50 stone.

That means that to make one tour with a full train you need 4 * 40 * 100 * 50 = 800k Stone.
The sources that are down there dont even have 200k

Not even my 33 Miner productivity upgrades can make up for that

What the heck.

I NEED MORE STONE!!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking about how to make my gleba factories less fragile before I go to gleba because the most tiring thing of that planet is constantly fixing it's breakdowns.

My current thoughts are all about only producing on demand, but that became very combinator heavy in my proto types and I wonder if there is an easier way to do it. Especially mash, cubes and nutrients are a huge pain and anything that's in any way on belts feels very fragile because I am not able to sort out spoilage on every place.

For context, I looked with Google maps at La.

I am living in Germany, and usually I am used to be able to find a forest when going out of a city.

But LA is nothing but City! There are houses god dam everywhere with no forest in sight and just some small parks here and there.

I am genuinely a bit disturbed, this looks insanely depressing.

I have no knowledge of how building laws work, but I heared a lot of the yimby discourse about something called "Zoning", and somehow I assume that this has something to do with that most of the houses seem to be designed for just one family.

Please explain it to me

NGL I actually have a lot to talk about this game, but it would likely be too much to pack into one Post. One thing that I realised very soon, however, is that terraforming the mars is actually not that good of a strategy if you wanna win a round of Terraforming Mars. (In multiplayer, single its of course not optional.)

To explain what I mean, I wanna showcase of how a typical game looks in my eyes.

Usually the first priority i have in every game is setting up a colony on the best economy colony, which are Ceres, Luna, Triton and Pluto in that order (They deserve their own post) to boost income. Especially Money is critical early so i can afford more cards to buy and can get more cards out.
Against the AI i sometimes go for Ganymede, but thats only because the Ai loves it to fly there and sometimes just isnt anything else.

Every card i play early is played with the intention of boosting income and the playability of my hand. Money, steel, Titan, what have you. Energy is also important early to be able to fly consistently to the colonies without investing money. Every card that brings heat or plants is just not on my list at all because they are bringing the payoff way too late to snowball.

Over the course of the game, i try to accumulate as many cards as i can, especially in the science department, because they unlock some of the best cards in the game. Also, many of the cards i play also add Victory points, and those victory points are the reason why in some games you might as well just ignore terraforming. Because there are quite a few that boost income right now while also giving you VP. Earth and space elevator for example. Those cards add up over the course of a game, and you can just dump all of them later onto the table.

As the game goes on, you will inevitably find at least one card that gives you income boosts based on tags or some other thing like cities, and those cards can range from very nice to absolutely bonkers. Looking at you, Cartel. Those cards will pay for themselves very quickly if played at the right moment, and many of them are easily boostable with your own actions.

Also you will find at least one card that allows you to draw multiple cards, with the biggest offender being AI-Centrale, Which gives you 2 cards per turn. Granted, it requires science tags, but many science cards are pretty good anyway and you love collecting them. Besides that, there is more than one way to get those, and they just do their job way too well.

You noticed that I basically didnt talk about the planet at all, and thats because you just dont need it. There is basically no reason for you to rush Terraforming because the bonuses you get from that are just underpowered. The money is nice, but you always get it more efficiently from money income boosters instead of terraforming. Cards with conditions are ironically often also those that would like to be as long in the game as possible, which hurts especially the Animals with a few exeptions. Trees take too much investment early away for you to care. At the end of the day, Its just better to spam cards. And its basically also just not really viable to end the game early, because that often requires others to terraform as well, which means that the only counterplay to not terraforming the planet and focusing on VP is doing the same thing yourself.

In the late game you might have accumulated over 100 Money per turn with Iron and Titan included. That allows you to just spam cards with immediate impact onto VP and suddently pull a win out of your ass. Maybe you got even some cost reduction to spam even harder. The game becomes now a mindless dump of all the cards you have in your hand now. Especially the jupiter cards are frankly nuts, because there 3 of them that give you VP based on that Tag. Granted, the cards also cost all also an arm and a half to play, but they are good.

Arriving at the victory screen, you noticed that half of your points came just from the cards you played. Not from your Terraforming score or your cities and trees, but cards. The power of those is so high that you wonder why you even bother with conquering the map to begin with. Why sacrifice income for board presence when its just inconsequental?

Granted, this is of course skewed towards longer games, but as i pointed out, rushing the enemy like mono red aggro in MTG is just not a thing here. It simply costs too much to do it on your own, and you rely on the enemies playing the same strategy, which defeats the purpose of rushing because you cant stop scaling with out enemies consent.

Dont get me wrong, i enjoy scaling myself, but there has to be a clear tradeoff here. In my eyes, it should come at the cost of board presence and loosing access to resources you would have gotten if you terraformed more agressively early. But currently, this just isnt worth it at all unless you play something like Tharsis republic. And I find this robs the game of some nuance which I miss here.

Microbes feel very odd to play in this game. They are the kind of card you should want to play early, but usually I neglect them completely in favor of cards that give me early economy boosts, especially in money, because those are just more important than the victory points you get from them.

And in the mid to late game they usually just don't do very much to justify picking them. I loved to play them at first but now with more experience, I just feel like they are very underwhelming.

Am I underrating them?

I am training since around end of may and got some equipment from my aunt for digital art. But I fear that this will be once again one of those hobbies I give up again because I cannot obsess hard enough to the point where it feels more like a chore than anything else.

But I really would love to be able to draw. I like manifesting my thoughts onto paper. Or digital data in my case. But do you know how hard it is to draw a straight line? Yet alone a curve?

I am procrastinating so hard on those drawabox tasks.

I am lucky that I have a great community that helps me with my self esteem but I am not sure if it is enough.

Folgendes Szenario:

Ich beziehe Bafög und Bürgergeld, während ich das Bayernkolleg Augsburg besuche, um mein Abi nachzumachen. (Bürgergeld gab bisher einen Zuschuss von 270 Euro pro Monat)

Ich habe eine Verlängerung von Bürgergeld beantragt, welcher mit der Begründung abgelehnt wurde, dass ich über dem Schonvermögen von 5000 Euro bin. Im Ablehnungsbescheid steht explizit, dass ich erneut einen Antrag stellen kann, wenn ich diese Grenze unterschreite.

Hier ist die Frage:

Nehmen wir an, ich kaufe mir ein E-Bike. Dieses dient dem Zweck der Mobilität vom Haus zum Bayernkolleg und zurück. Durch diesen Kauf sinkt sowohl mein Barvermögen als auch mein Kontostand. Wenn die Differenz zwischen meinem Vermögen und dem Preis des Rads weniger als 5000 Euro beträgt, habe ich mich dann wieder erfolgreich für Bürgergeld qualifiziert?

Suppose you have a cube that's standing on a unit circle. You look from above onto the circle, so that you see the cube also from above. If you shift the cube along the circle, the seen length of the cube does not change, because the length of the lines is always equal.

Suppose now that you change the degree from which you're looking upon the circle. It looks now a bit squeezed, as seen in the second line. Now you see the y-line, marked in green. Now the lengths of the line change based on how the cube is shifted along the circle.

Is there something I found here or am I just delusional?

For context, I am trying to learn drawing and, as you can see, my cubes aren't exactly cube shaped.

I have holidays right now and am sleeping at my grandma's house. Today I knew I needed to go the fuck out because I am just decaying mentally in front of my tv if I don't do it. I think I needed a hour and a half to two hours between this Realisation and the moment where I actually went out, and the walk itself took an hour. It was warm af, but I think it did something good for my mental.

Now excuse me, I need to jump into my pillows until I stop loafing myself.

As far as I know, fluoroketone are carbon hydrogens with oxygen double connections on the carbon chain as well as hydrogen atoms substituted with fluoride. However, the recipe doesn't contain a source of oxygen and lithium doesn't appear in the end result at all.

Edit: guys I am just curious in chemistry, not a "realism above all else" fanatic.

Had a bad game, am slightly tilted. I was specifically unhappy with my laning phase where I just missed way too many skillshots when I wanted to trade (as Aurora).

The problem I have now is that I dont exactly know how to train that. Most champs I usually play (my beloved Asol got taken by the enemy) have either big Zones of Death (Maokai and Asol) or just arent very skillshot reliant in the typical sense (Maokai and Pantheon, as well as Lillia to an extend, who has a lot of coverage with her Q.

Now, I know some of the usual tricks, like trying to trade when the enemy wants to lasthit, but even then, I was so focused just on lasthitting and that that I couldnt focus on anything else anymore, and that hurt my performance to an extend. I want it to be more in my muscle memory, so to speak.

Speaking of muscle memory, I think i also should train lasthitting. I hated how many cannons I missed.
