  • I’m too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven’t elaborated on yet.

    Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I’m absolutely going to get my money’s worth - this kind of game just doesn’t exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.

    It’s “rice” because it’s asian; it’s a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

    Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn’t the same everywhere.

    Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don’t think they are aware of what I’m recalling here.





  • This is not answering your question (I can’t argue for my current SWR, it’s the trinity study minus a random fudge factor), but I’ve implemented an idea that I think others would benefit from.

    I’ve been tracking my current withdrawal rate through time, based on my periodic calculation of baseline expenses. I suppose I could use actual expenses, but that’s remarkably volatile, so instead I take the 6 month average of recurring costs.

    The benefit is a nice time series graph I can watch. I can plot a horizontal line for my current expected return on capital, and another for my safe withdrawal rate.

    The net result is a lot of information condensed nicely. You can see at a glance if you’re trending towards safety, or away from it.









  • Yikes. Can you imagine a more soul-crushing job than making marketing posters for the most boring soup possible?

    I imagine it goes something like this:

    Jim, we’ve got some ad space. Malls across the world. You’re going to use that as a canvas to sell tomato soup. People love tomato soup. Sells itself, by itself. Don’t show a grilled cheese near it - we don’t sell those and lets face it, tomato soup is not the arm candy in that pairing. Oh, and have fun with it! We’re a family. Please have it done by Sunday.
