Q: Dwarf Fortress learning curve I've seen a lot of questions, on this site and in many gaming forums, about Dwarf Fortress. I know that it's free, and I like dwarfs and mining, but I never tried it — mostly because I've heard that it's learning curve is so high that you need to invest a lot of time before starting to have fun. A couple of days ago, in a thread discussing game difficulty and learning curves, I saw this image: So I decided to ask something about it here: Is Dwarf Fortress' learning curve really that bad? What are the difficulties of this game? A: I'm a brand new player of this game, so I admit my knowledge of the later things are limited - keep that in mind when reading this answer. Dwarf Fortress is a hard game, in that there are so many things you need to take care of, and if you don't, things can go horribly, horribly wrong. You have to keep all of your dwarves both happy and safe, and if you don't, you can get into some serious trouble. When you fail, you learn something new about how to manage this task. Of course, the curve is exaggerated, but the reason it stays so high is because there are so many things which can go wrong if you don't keep a close eye on things. A dwarf goes into a rage? Kill him before he kills everything else. Goblins started a siege? Get your civilians to safety and get your military ready to take them on. Discovered a cavern? Make sure you block it off until you are ready to deal with any monsters in there. The list goes on, and that's what makes the game hard. But it also feels rewarding to successfully deal with these threats. There are of course a number of things you can do to remedy that: Install a texture pack so you can more easily tell things apart. I personally like the Ironhand texture pack, but there are several others. This will make it so much easier to recognize things at a glance. Get Dwarf Therapist. It's a much more convenient way to manage your individual dwarves. Choose a really good location for your fortress. I actually ended up discarding several worlds before finding one with a site I really liked. Watch tutorials and Let's Plays on e.g. YouTube to get a feel for the game. There are a lot of helpful tutorials out there - my favorite is Djrodw's series on the FogeyGaming channel, which covers all of the basics; he also has a Let's Play on his own channel where some other stuff is covered. I recommend getting the Lazy Newb Pack, which contains a frontend to configure the game, the game itself, a bunch of tools (including Dwarf Therapist), and a few texture packs (including Ironhand). A: The bulldozer at the top pushing dead dwarves off the side is a perennial favorite, as are the spikes and things at the bottom where the other dwarf has apparently just thrown himself off. That said - Once you get past the initial hurdle, Dwarf Fortress is a barrel of laughs. It seriously is exactly like the picture: there's this enormous terrifying cliff at the beginning, but once you've understood the initial "cluster" of concepts (how to do an embark that doesn't completely suck, how to dig, how to get reliable food and booze, how to defend against goblins) it's a pretty open game and there are only a couple of things after that point that will summarily slaughter your fortress, many of which are your own stupid fault anyway. Heh heh heh. If you're just starting out, download the latest version of DF (0.31.25 as of this writing). It has a couple of rather crippling 0.31.19 bugs fixed (specifically, traps are no longer gimped to hell). Also download Dwarf Therapist from http://code.google.com/p/dwarftherapist/. It says it's only good up to 0.31.21 but if it encounters a version it doesn't know about, it tries to download a new memory layout file, which is currently working fine. Dwarf Therapist makes the game playable. WE ARE NOT KIDDING HERE. The sole purpose of Dwarf Therapist is to give you an overview of what labors your dwarves have turned on, so you can quickly identify e.g. your new immigrants have completely illogical labors turned on. It also serves as a check to make sure e.g. legendarily skilled dwarves actually have their legendary skill turned on, and aren't doing stupid things like going outside to pick flowers. For some reason the Toady One hasn't gotten around to making a usable UI for labor allocation yet, so Dwarf Therapist is really essential. You WILL lose your first fortress, probably to a lack of booze. You WILL lose your second fortress, probably to a lack of booze or food, or an excess of goblins or water. You WILL lose your third fortress, probably to an excess of goblins (you've figured out food and booze by now). You WILL lose your fourth fortress, probably to an uninvited guest of some sort. You will MOST LIKELY lose your fifth fortress, usually to a particularly hostile uninvited guest or an extreme excess of goblins. You will MOST LIKELY lose your sixth fortress, to one of a number of causes such as shortage of booze (yeah you forgot to make sure your booze industry was still working), excessive justice, excessive water, excessive lava, uninvited guests, elite goblin siege, !!monarch butterflies!!, &c. If you don't like the sound of the preceding paragraph, Dwarf Fortress might not be for you. If you think it's funny to watch your dwarves die because they walked around in magma and their feet burned off, while their lungs are rotting away because they breathed a breath weapon that causes instant severe necrosis on inhalation, then Dwarf Fortress is the game you were always looking for! But you shouldn't feel frightened that you need to spend a month figuring out how to play before you can start having fun. This is absolutely not true. As long as you can find fun in watching your dwarves get slaughtered by goblins, or emo your entire fortress to death because they're out of booze, or get flattened because you accidentally dug out an entire layer of a hill and dropped the top half 5 ft onto the bottom half, you really don't need to know much of anything to play. The wiki has a number of starting guides to give you a leg up on getting started. Basically the most important things for a starting fortress to secure are 1) booze, 2) shelter, 3) food. By the time you get to your 3rd or 4th fortress it's important to know the exact behavior of each digging designation, but probably not until then. Just sort of, fire it up, go ahead and "Play Now!" (although you won't want to do this after your first try because it gives you VERY messed up starting skills), and just do some stuff! A: Haha, love that picture, and it might be accurate, but one of the most amusing aspects of the game is what it's fan base calls "fun" - that is to say "losing is fun". This might sound bad, but you invariably learn something from each experience and can come back a stronger player. So, don't expect to "win" on your first play through, and don't expect to have a massive efficient fortress without losing a few times - but at the same time don't expect that first play throughs to just be an exercise in frustration. There's little to no in-game help, so keeping the wiki handy while playing is probably a good idea. And importantly if you want to avoid trouble and have an easier first play through be very careful in selecting a safe starting zone. Unfortunately, the game's interface also provides some issues as well - it's all text based so requires some learning, however you can install a graphics set which helps a lot (at least, I've previously used MayDay's version, which helped me a lot and has a lazy install). Additionally, it doesn't provide all the tools you really need to manage your fortress effectively. As such I'd recommend at least one external tool once you're a little way in to your first fortress - Dwarf Therapist (but make sure you're playing a version of the game it is compatible with!) - but there are many other tools available. You may also wish to read the question How can I make Dwarf Fortress easier.

You're right, but different times. When Sakic was a player, there was no Salary cap. It made Pierre Lacroix look like a genius GM when really it was all the blank checks that Stan Kronke signed that allowed the Avs to keep all that talent together. When did the Avs start to suck? When the NHL had a lockout and implemented a Salary cap. Once that happened you saw what kind of "genius" Pierre Lacroix became. Suddenly he had a roster full of superstars and not enough money to pay them all with the new cap. The team slowly fell apart and conveniently Lacroix retires so that his "genius" reputation as a GM stayed in tact. Since then the Avs haven't found a good GM who knows how to manage the cap well and keep good young talent in Colorado, or good coaches for that matter. Remember that time when coach Q parted ways with the Avs and he went on to win several Stanley Cups with another team full of young talent? The front office sucks and Sakic is part of the problem.

I do not think Google should be the arbiter of what is acceptable "freedom of speech". I do think that our courts should fulfill this function - whether it be to limit "hate speech" or to limit mindless publicity of what the court feels benefits acts contrary to the law. Google is a "publisher" of information and should follow the legal precedents on publication that the courts impose.

I'm so pleased that the fat cats who spent $92 million on behalf of Jeb Bush got exactly what they deserved; nothing. This weekend, the fat cats spent another $15 million in anti-Trump attack ads. Result: Rubio lost miserably and Kasich barely won the State where he is a sitting Governor. Media buys are not working this year for the Republican fat cats. That's the other reason the national media hate Trump; not only they can't effect him by complaining about his lack of political correctness; they are demonstrating that spending money with the media is ineffectual this year. Now that's important stuff right there! What if they had an election and nobody bought TV ads?

Jessica, I'm afraid you haven't educated yourself before you spoke. For instance, Mail-in voting was planned long before the current mayor took office. The reason we must do this, like other states are doing, is because people, like you do not offer to be poll workers. The average age of those workers is about 70 and not enough people volunteer. $15M surplus would not allow the city to patrol the highways for very long, but other uses for the $15M would have long term benefits. If $42 refund on your taxes is that important to you, I suggest you further your education to get a better job.

Thank you MikeAA for your for your comment. but the question was is God's Word inviolate? A Contradiction We have a contradiction as Christians we are taught by the Church that God’s Word(Will) is Inviolate But the church teaches in private revelation even a Direct Command from God endorsed by the church. We can take or leave. It abdicates its responsibility and confuses the laity which causes division The subject matter concerning the revelation of God’s Word (Will) to St.Fuastina Divine Mercy demonstrates that the concept of a divide between Private and Public Revelation (as stated by the church) is flawed. It permit’s the hand (will) of man to control God’s Word (Will) without taking responsibility for their actions. It pass’s the responsibility to the laity and in so doing denigrates God’s Word and undermines the authority of the apostles successors. It is written “You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve”. Man was made for God and not God for man cont

There was very little government involvement with requiring a major medical plan, most existing private plan already included that provision. There was no way the insurance companies were going to continue paying for higher priced doctors and services once the government took control of them. They weren't going to continue those practices for the premiums they were charging and the cash outlay either. There was no way successful doctors were going to stay in practice with all of the paperwork and red tape involved with Obamacare. Even Gruber admitted the Democrats had to lie to the American citizen or they wouldn't have been able to convince them, that this was a good plan.

If the CPC is going to succeed in the next election, it has to do something to attract and create Red Tories again. If the Tories are willing to wait through another Trudeau win, then they can pick a Reform candidate and wait for voter fatigue. Harper was able to succeed because support was split fairly evenly between the NDP and Liberals, but right now the NDP is not a contender. That points towards Chong, who seems the most viable candidate on the Red Tory side.

Its really quite simple: If I only have to follow those laws that comport with my sincere and deeply held religious beliefs, I'll be murdering and eating your children (my god sez it's ok and I'm trying to get to Valhalla).I'm wondering if supporters of the baker would be as sympathetic if he had refused to bake a cake for an interracial or interfaith marriage. Or where one of the newlyweds had had a divorce or an abortion. Would he make a cake for a polygamous marriage for a fundamentalist mormon? Could he possibly support the marriage of anybody who doesn't share his particular faith like Jews or Muslims? Yes.This couple could have taken their business to another baker; but what about the couple in a small town without choices? Once they are cut off from the only baker in town, what options are left? A business owner benefits from state regulation, public transportation, police and fire protection, etc. Gay couples also pay for those things, making his business possible.

, 11 July 2006 (UTC) :::::::Well Maybe theres a reason it was taken off. I think its because her voice isnt as good as it used to be. but still I say her range is Bb2-G#7 but all that can be proven is a range of C3-G#7. C3 is the lowest note in My All, Emotions, You're So Cold, and I believe other songs. A1 is my lowest note and F7 is my highest and Im a Lyric Baritone. I don't know if Mariah has ever sang above the piano or in the second octave because there is no audio to prove it. All I know is alot of people exaggerate her voice alot. Notes should be checked before saying what they are. People start rumors about alot of things like the note in You're So Cold being G2. Its not. My way of checking notes is by using a keyboard. its pretty accurate too. Its better than a tuner. Tuners can be thrown off by the slightest extra sound. the best way to check a note using a tuner is to copy the note by singing it yourself. But keyboards are easy cause it wont produce a note an octave lower or anything as most people tend to do if they feel a note is too high or an octave higher if the note is too low. You should always check a note yourself and ask another person if you can rely on them. 06:27

Hi John, The wording you quote is mine the article as I found it back in July 2006 did indeed only talk about open systems as an interoperability phenomenon, with the exception of one line: It can also be defined as a system that allows access by other systems, hence 'open' system. So the article really wasn't talking about social synergy even before then but I changed the wording precisely because I thought that aspect, although not in the scope of this article (in my opinion), was still worth discussing. (What I had been thinking about when I did my edit was the MIT AI Lab systems that were available for open access via the ARPANET back in the late '70s / early '80s.) I think it would be great if you could create an article to discuss the social aspect, maybe using your article as the foundation for it, and it could be linked to from this article and others. But I still do think it's a different topic from open systems as covered on this page.

Most of the police officers I know of, myself included, feel exactly the same way. We hate what this guy did. Sadly, in conversations with many others, they feel that "Implied Consent" made the Detective's attempt to obtain the blood draw "legal". Apparently, not every one keeps up with the legal briefings that are distributed as the result of any SCOTUS rulings. Colorado has Implied Consent, too, but we were briefed (before I left), that blood draws were going to require a warrant. There was ABSOLUTELY no reason for this officer to arrest the nurse, let alone, "rough her up". The blood sample wasn't going anywhere. Several people have asked, "When can you fight back?" The answer is...."In Court". Comply at the time, and then talk to a lawyer. I hope this officer suffers both Civil and Criminal penalties because of this incident. It is hard enough for the good officers without Bozos like this.

But Tidentinus, we ought to be absolutely of one mind on this issue! The internal forum as a procedure for priests in confession guiding the faithful about complex moral issues that may require an appeal to the the primacy of conscience in order to bring about justice and peace to souls is a long standing aspect of seminary training. I don't know for sure how long back one can trace this concept or the term "internal forum" for this concept, but I would be willing to bet that its roots, the formal foundation for the concept, goes back to Aquinas and his era; and I would be very surprised if this has not been part of seminary moral theology since the Tredentine reform of seminary education. Am I wrong on this? For I confess no firm knowledge of the history here; just long standing assumptions I have never had reason to question? Surely we both agree that the wise priest is the one who has the spiritual depth and intellectual knowledge to work in that difficult forum????

John Wayne appeared in at least 79 films (that we know of or for which he was credited.) I've heard "you don't or can't kill off John Wayne" for as long as I can remember. It's fine if you don't agree. But 7 out of 79... I think seven constitutes 'a few'. In John Ford's epic 'The Searchers' John Wayne should have been killed off, for example. But the filmmaker and/or screenwriter didn't follow the novel on which it was based. I think it would have been an even more powerful film if they had. (If I had to choose a favorite film The Searchers would be it; deals with racism and mysogeny - topics that were current then(the film was being made during the Brown vs Board of Education decision) and now.

" == Robert Waggoner addition == The following was recently added by an account that appears to be the publishing firm for the book cited. Given the clear confict of interest in such an addition I have moved it here so unconnected editors can consider whether it is an appropriate addition to the article. ""As the novice lucid dreamer engages the dream, it is possible to get caught up in the dream drama and lose lucid awareness. Lucid dream author, Robert Waggoner, has noted that by constantly focusing and refocusing on acting in the dream, lucid dreamers maintain a steady conscious awareness. However, if the lucid dreamer completes his or her actions and does not refocus on a new goal, the unconscious mechanism of dreaming may bring forth new dream figures that may capture the attention of the novice lucid dreamer and lead to the loss of lucid awareness."" * The section appears to assert as fact a theory that does not seem to have been tested or subject to significant peer review. Having said that, Waggoner may be an appropriate commentator on lucid dreaming - a bio can be found here. Do others have an opinion or evidence on how well respected he is as a commentator? "

There comes a time when businesses contract, cut back spending and lay off valuable employees. The state and the MOA have cut funding for vacant and unfilled positions, but have not laid-off or furloughed a single government employee. Departments have been using money appropriated for ghost employees for years. We have to fund government at sustainable levels and this means cutting back. Like Rep. Harriet Drummond said years ago on the Anchorage Assembly, "...it's just one less latte a week." We'll, cut the BSA 5%, it's just one less latte a week.

re: "'Conventional conservatism' (is) not a group of people who want to shove more Govt and laws down peoples throats, intrude and encroach on citizens, and remove choice." Historically, conservatives supported the monarchy and aristocracy and religion (who had no trouble shoving laws down people's throats); while liberals supported the market place and economic freedom. That's conventional conservatism and conventional liberalism. But the definitions have changed. These days, many people who call themselves conservatives -- like "Not the Alliance" -- are extremist liberals, against taxes and against regulation. Some call themselves libertarians. Anyway, that's why we will forever be defining conservative.

Here you go . In general I would say that most membership numbers of most religions are quite bogus , as they are often nothing else but triumphalistic hot hair based on the wishful estimates or guesses of their own members. No one ever has counted memberships yet the numbers are thrown around as though they were facts. With that being said, Scientology is a household name , good or bad and has a presence around the world . Its a major religion

Shidler has written in his document that they cannot sell anything. For the next 99 years UH lives off the income. The other problem is that clearly this is not a multi-billion dolalr gift. NO one can evaluate the value of anything 99 years in advance. The headlines were a little sensational. Good gift but not 7 billion.

"If you and your like-minded buddies here..." Well see if you'd actually read his comment you would know he was asking for a range of opinion not complaining about it but complaining about a _lack_ of it. But you don't seem to like that...

You’ll find some hot shit like Beauty And The Senior, or even that old codger Jim Slip. That old Brit will make you jealous over the number of young babes he picks up off the street and bangs. The cherry on top is that is wife films his sexual rendezvous for him. I wonder how she truly feels on the inside about all that. Maybe she thinks its hot. Maybe she plans to murder him in his sleep but the money is too damn good. It’s hard to say, but these old farts aren’t the only ones you find here. There’s many more Stockerz deals, especially some incredibly hot party sex videos, which is one of my personal favorites. Check things out and grab the best deal for you today! So, I’ll be honest, not a lot of ladies here are actually what I would consider grannies. If they are, they are hiding their age very well.

If you’re into some sultry cheating porn then you need to save 81% now with this My Wifes Hot Friend discount. That equates to under $5 per month and updates are happening on the regular.

Grab your deal at this link: https://www.porndiscounts.co.uk/porn-discounts/devils-film/granny-ghetto/ Let me make this quick. If you are trying to master the art of the MILF pick up, you really need to throw away all the preconceptions you have in your mind. You really do. A lot of guys fail again and again because they have all these preexisting ideas regarding what MILFs are and what they want and how to approach them. This makes for a very confusing situation. Unfortunately, if you’re confused about a particular objective, you’re just making it all that much harder on yourself to achieve that objective. Do you see where I’m coming from? If you really want to understand the art of the MILF pick up, pay attention to the following 3 stories. Story #1 Overcome your fear. The first time I met this hot MILF, I was just intimidated. She had it going on. She was making $200,000 a year running her own business. She was really good looking and I thought that I didn’t have half a chance. Accordingly, I acted like a total and complete loser and, guess what happened? I blew my chance. The lesson? You have to believe that you can achieve. You have to believe that you are desirable. Otherwise, you have no business trying to pick up on MILFs. Story #2 I went on a date with a MILF and, for some reason or another, I thought she told me that she wanted to fuck me. It turns out, after I’ve banged her, that she didn’t say it. She didn’t actually tell me that she wanted to fuck me, but when I got that idea in my head, that’s all I could think about. That’s all I focused on and, guess what happened? I ended up sticking my dick in her. What’s the lesson in this story? If you truly believe in something, your actions will fall into place and whatever you believe becomes reality. This is not the law of attraction bullshit. This is real. Story #3 I hung out with this chick and fucked the shit out of her and I made it a point to make her orgasm back to back for about 8 times. It almost killed me, but I was able to do it and guess what happened? She invited her friends over the next time. That’s right, I banged 4 women at the same time. The lesson here is when you give women what they’re looking for, they will invite their friends. This is, of course, all about adult dating, MILF dating to be exact as displayed here: http://www.fuckaMILF.net . This is not regular dating. I want you guys to take a long, hard look at Karen. She is in her mid 50’s and loves having sex. The sad thing about it is she is having a hard time (no pun intended) finding willing men to satisfy her pussy. I think it’s a crying shame that there’s a shortage of men that are willing to open up and have a sexual experience with an older woman. I’ve been there and done it and guys… there’s nothing strange or wrong about it. You’d actually be surprised at how good these girls are in bed. While she’s a naughty wife on MatureLover.co.uk as I mentioned before there isn’t many men on the site that can give her the cravings that her pussy has. I bet if you and maybe a few of your buddies joined you could get laid in no time at all. Karen is open to being with more than one man at a time and honestly, I think her pussy would totally love it. There are not many things in life these days that are certain, at least you can be almost certain that these real milfs will want to milk your cock all night long. There’s no time to waste though, once the word is out you can bet there’s going to be loads of guys trying to get hook up sex with any of the 100’s of milfs that are online now. Get in first so your dick is at the top of the list for these mature sluts to play with! Granny On Cam Adult content. Visitors who are not 18 years old, please leave this website now.

Well said Chuck. The vocal minority unfortunately gets the majority of the headlines and TV coverage and it likely that it will work that way again. I am sure that Mayor Moonbeam will be leading the charge and getting lots of coverage for his joke of a green city initiative. I am not an NDP fan no matter where they are from, but good on Notley in having the guts to take on the wingnuts in BC.

Merhaba Okanfan, Yanlış anlamayın lütfen. Hatalı olduğunuzu veya değişiklik savaşına girdiğinizi kasdetmedim. Fakat gidişat o yöne olduğundan ön almak düşüncesiyle yazdım. Diğer geri almalarınız doğruydu, bu da büyük çoğunlukla doğru. Fakat bu kez gerçek ikisinin arasında bir yerde. Örneğin eklenen kaynakta da hem Türk milliyetçiliği ifadesi geçiyor, hem de 8. sayfasında Türk ırkı olarak görülmemesi gerektiği yazılı. Fakat tersi kaynaklar da mevcut, hatta ırkçılığa varan bir yaklaşım olduğu da rahatlıkla iddia edilebiliyor. Hiç dayanağı olmadığı da söylenemez. Dediğim gibi, bu ve diğer diğer değişiklik detayları tartışmaya açık. O nedenle tartışma sayfasında farklı katılımcılarla daha düzgün bir sonuç almanın mümkün olacağını düşünüyorum. iazak (mesaj)

` : Seems like retaliation to me. The link to Greencine was not to their main page, but to their ``Bollywood for newbies`` page, which is helpful. The filmi song plagiarism page is a major resource and MUST go back up. Down Melody Lane I can relinquish, but others may not agree. : Not only the editors here, but my filmi gurus on Usenet (rec.arts.movies.local.indian) recommend the song plagiarism site highly, since it lets you make your own judgments about whether it is plagiarism or not. `
