Yep, although more for the aluminium than the steel!
Aluminium and steel have interesting galvanic reactions when touching each other https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/blog/stainless-steel-and-aluminum/
Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Home Pong, Coleco Telstar - that sort of thing. Mostly with built in games.
I’ve also removed from my wish list - hopefully they reverse the decision and I can add it back.
Hello, As the 2.0 release approaches, we have been spending time polishing and resolving things which we found during our playtesting.

Hello, I'm sure you're familiar with the good old Nuclear reactor. It's a fission reactor that makes a lot of power in conjunction with its steam turbines. The nuclear energy system is unlocked on Nauvis, and in the context of Space Age, that makes it an early-to-mid game unlock. For the pla...

Amazingly he didn’t spend $44,000 - he spent a total of $214,000!
FTA: According to CBS News, citing a criminal complaint and affidavit of probable cause, Lawrence Kozak allegedly spent over $214,000 on his Apple ID, with just under $44,000 of that amount charged to a credit card associated with the parish.
Best I could find is the entire division makes about 35% profit and you’d have to assume some of that was YouTube
Revenue is not profit
As a native BrE speaker I’d say “I’ve X installed” is a little weird, fine in speech but written down it doesn't look right. “I’ve installed X” is fine.
The last track sounds almost green and verdant but I think it’s too frenetic to be a peaceful and lush planet. Maybe one with white water rapids and fast moving water?
You don’t pay tax on growth, you do on dividends. For large shareholders a high dividend can be a problem. Even for me, a very small time retail investor, I have to keep a balance of growth (like Apple) and dividend (I tend to use a dividend ETF so I can fairly reliably estimate my dividends) so I can avoid paying tax on the dividends.
Small updates but I think the spidertron change is good, although I’m not overly enthused by the new name of the item.
Hello, Today we have another dose of anti-frustration improvements for you.

Surprise! There are 5 new planets in the expansion. The first planet you arrive on is a strange new land, rich with iron, copper, coal, stone, oil, and uranium. Everything a starting factory needs and more. There's also water, fish, grass and trees. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. ...

Thank you and I’m glad this is available now - I’ve set up a recurring payment to help cover costs.
I hear this all the time and it’s very subjective - I would argue the second largest is the US Army Aviation Branch - if you count helicopters have a lot more aircraft than the US Navy.
Also the Russian Air Force has more aircraft than the US Navy per most sources. I suspect the internet meme got the Navy and Army Aviation swapped around.
Hello, Is it me you're looking for?

This is going to be really complicated and that’s probably a good thing!
Robot Wars was created in America but the first televised show was in the UK.
I ordered a Burger King last week and it was £11.46 for a double whopper meal, around $14.48 or €13.40. It’s not a cheap meal any more.
In hopes they read this comment - the problem is your price. $100 a year is about what I pay for membership to The Guardian - a highly respected, award winning newspaper, that gives away ALL its content. Why would I pay the same for tech news that covers a fraction of all the news out there?
At $5 a year I would have signed up after reading one good article - at $10 maybe after a couple of good articles - but at $100? Never. Even if you were the only good tech news site - and you are not.
I’m glad they are renaming bulk/stack inserters but I worry the new flipping mechanic for oil refineries will break my brain :)
Don’t feel too bad, you’d have to be at least 50 to have used one during their heyday! My grandmother had one and they did work really well, although the thought of milk spending all night sitting on my bedside table does put me off.
Hello, I have an irresistible urge to tell you a little story. I'm sure you come here for stories, don't you?

Hello, we have shown some bigger things recently, so it is time to also show some smaller things, because the bigger things wouldn't shine that good without the smaller things working properly!

Hello, In the last FFF-386 we covered the natural landscape of Vulcanus which mostly showed the visuals, but as you are probably aware we always put gameplay first. Now it's time to find out what kind of greater good you can do to the planet...

Hello and thank you for being part of the Fediverse experiment. This Community is run by some long term Discord and Reddit community members - as this is a whole new world it's possible many of us have different names - I am LordWarfire from both Reddit and Discord and wanted to welcome you to this new place.
Please make yourselves at home and let us know what you'd like to see here and how you found us!
For anyone who found us via the Fediverse - this is a Community for the town of Reading in Berkshire, rather than for the thing you do with books. I know, it's confusing. We even pronounce it differently - welcome to "Redding" :)
Thanks!
