Tfw sanctuary has an income of 150 purified water.

Also to get easy money you could just do the caps glitch.

I could just use console commands, but it's fun to do stuff in-game, and before setting up purifiers my settlements really had no purpose.

The Flood / Re: Americans, how do you pronounce the word 'twat'?
« on: November 19, 2015, 11:12:56 PM »
tw@ sounds retarded
but saying twot when it's an 'a' somehow makes ense?

Pronounce 'call'. Letters have multiple pronunciations.

I might disassemble my money-farm when I have enough caps

What's your setup? I've been using water purifiers around Fort Strong.

« on: November 19, 2015, 10:13:51 PM »
I don't find President Obama very charismatic, tbh. His speeches are slow and halting, and he frequently comes off as condescending and self-righteous.

Clinton and Reagan were very charismatic.

I really preferred the fake magic tricks as opposed to what seems to be "real" magic that they introduced at the end of the first movie. Still looks good though.

Serious / Re: A services led economy vs automation
« on: November 19, 2015, 11:25:07 AM »
Anytime we see automation occur, new jobs open up elsewhere; having a surplus of available workers is never a bad thing for an economy, and the market wants to utilize them.

In regards to your sales department, sure customers might prefer to buy from your website but sales representatives offer a service that clients value -- that is, a relationship between supplier and client, requiring social skills which are increasingly difficult for computers to replicate.

And really, outsourcing also provides a trickle down effect (though I hesitate to use the phrase). As more skilled labor gets outsourced, you logically see more skilled workers in that country, etc.

This month's NBER digest has a decent article about it:

Caitlyn Jenner is her legal name.
Don't give a shit about HIS legal name
She's also legally female.

No, she's not. Female refers to sex.
That's why she's legally female. Her ID and other forms of identification have an F instead of an M.

She's not legally female, she's legally a woman. They're not the same, and I guarantee none of her state IDs say F because gender is an irrelevant piece of information.


Obviously I can assume that you have a driver's license, but here's a picture of a driver's license anyway. Despite the fact that there is no "gender" information on a license, it is still apparently used on your driver's license and birth certificate. The only explanation that I see is that the state uses the terms "gender" and "sex" to mean the same thing.

And that argument is entirely semantic, anyway. Nobody is arguing biology here. Saying that someone is legally a woman or female is the exact same thing, because all it implies is whether you'll be treated as a man or woman under law. I'm pretty sure Jenner's got the age maximum beat, but she wouldn't qualify for the draft anymore iirc.

Huh, you're right about the license. Seems silly to allow them to change the sex since sex is still an important piece of information, especially in medical situations.

Anyway, I'm not arguing about anything. Transpeople remain their original sex; if a driver's license indicates sex is gender, it's incorrect. Many people still get gender and sex confused and pointing it out early prevents vitriolic discussions from happening.

This is Serious, so if I were to describe people that support turning away refugees, I probably wouldn't use phrases like, "you're a fucking xenophobic asshole", and I definitely wouldn't point out the incredible hypocrisy in supporting military campaigns against ISIS while turning away refugees fleeing from those conflicts by calling anyone a "heartless cunt".

I wouldn't do any of that.

I have a question about PC gaming with fallout 4 and gaming PC's in general.

Spoiler

Does this look decent/look like it can run fallout 4? If not what should I change?

You're gonna need to spend at least twice as much on a processor.
Any recommendations? I dint really know what I'm doing.

I'm questioning your decision to go with an AMD processor, only 8 GB of RAM, and Windows 10, but other than that you should be able to run it fine. Maybe not on ultra settings, but it'll run fine none the less.

I'm also going under the assumption that this is the lowest definition of "run".
I don't know the difference between the company's so I don't know which is better, I've been able to run NV on 4GB and that was the required amount  and I can switch it to more if it's not too costly, I chose windows 10 because I think it's a good OS and I've had no problems with it + Xbox streaming with it sounds nice.

I've found this guide (and its comments) to be invaluable for PC parts info:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds

For gaming I'd recommend The End All's CPU.

Not at all. We're no longer filtering out obvious, physical traits, but we're still seeing it in our scientific development.

We'll use calculus as an example: it was discovered by numerous people all around the same time, and even though it's accredited to a few individuals it was actually a scientific eventuality for us to reach, in a process akin to speciation.

What exactly is the administration supposed to do about what occurs at a private party? Frown and look sad about it?
So you would suggest that they just ignore discrimination entirely, then?

Hate to break it to you, but hearing the word 'nigger' at a party isn't any sort of discrimination the university has a responsibility to address. The university itself is already very diverse and liberal.

"If you pay to go to a public school, you can't complain if you face institutionalized discrimination"

Yeah, what a guy
You guys really need to stop throwing around terms like 'institutionalized discrimination' where there is none, because all it will ever end up doing is denigrating actual cases of institutionalized discrimination.

The university didn't offer what these idiots were looking for. Boo fucking hoo. They either have a choice of bucking up and choosing something else, or moving to another university that have the major they want. Crying wolf and throwing temper tantrums accomplishes nothing.

'Institutionalized discrimination' fucking lmao. Anything to establish a victim status for these people.

Nobody's talking about the fuckin' major. Who gives a shit about the fuckin' major?

kek
The point on the major is so far-removed from the primary point of the protests that I literally hadn't even heard that point brought up until today.

It's one of their top demands.
Pretty sure their top demands were for the president to step down and for the racist attitudes of the campus at-large to be addressed more closely.

I encourage you to read the article. Top demands were for a black studies major and increased budget for diversity training. They said they would demand the president step down if they didn't acquiesce by Friday.

So I'm enjoying the game lots but

The fact you cannot be evil, and the fact the dialogue wheel narrows so much player choice, is just a horrible boner killer for this game. It's literally only

Yes
Maybe/Sarcastic
No (which is really yes)
Question

You had more choice, even in Fallout 3. It's just so bad.
i hate the way my character acts during main quest cutscenes. like, i got over the kidnapping ages ago and understand that shaun may be all but lost to me, but my character is still screaming at kellog and forcing a fight to the death despite the fact that i would personally like to talk things out.

i miss new vegas' narrative and dialogue ideas.

I played through the Kellog scene a few times and it's actually pretty diverse. The first time, my character was reserved, confused, and hesitant to fight. Second time was angry and accusatory. Third was kind of a mix. Seemed good to me.

how the fuck is sin^2(x)/2 NOT the integral of sinxcosx?

There are two correct answers.

"Not always" doesn't mean "isn't".
also, if you evaluate it from 0 to 2pi (this is just part of a longer problem), you get 0, but it should be 3... it is 3 if you go the cosine route, but yeah.


Well your u/du substitution is correct so just use that. Wolfram sucks ass at trig calc. It's different based on which factor you use for u.

.5sin^2(x) + C = -.5cos^2(x) + c, but their constants are not equal.

Last time they did something like this, didn't it compromise U.S. intelligence operations they had going on? Exposing known terrorist agents or their locations does nothing except undermine the professionals that are tracking the same thing and using it to build personnel lists and strike profiles.

Can anyone help with the Railroad quest: Butcher's Bill? It says to go to the dead drop but there's nothing there...

If it's not fixable, one solution would be:

~sqt (displays quests)

Find your quest ID (should be something like RR106; it'll have RR in front), also note the quest stage #

~resetquest <quest ID>

Or:

setstage <ID> <stage number + 1> (to get you to the next step)
