This was the only thing I could think of with that title.

My approach has been to accept some spaghetti or otherwise inefficient production lines when figuring out the new mechanics. Once I feel confident in my experience I’ll approach the next factory for similar production lines in a more efficient manner.
Crucially, I absolutely refuse to do a full teardown of my old spaghetti and inefficient structures so long as they’re still producing what I need of them (at most I’ll do the bare minimum to get them working again), and I try to limit how much rebuilding I need to do to incorporate new production lines to the existing system.
Is it inefficient? Yup. Does it lead to wild power fluctuations? You bet! Will I have to wait an extraordinary amount of time to complete each phase? Absolutely.
I can confirm it won’t indicate the end around 100m away on the horizontal axis; I recently placed a second mk2 pipeline from the area with all the mushroom trees(I’ve yet to learn the names of each biome) to my grasslands base after the 1.0 update, and could not find the indicator or get it to snap-to on any one spot on the pipeline from far away.
My solution was to look for the last full length of pipe and put the pump there, repeating the process until that stopped happening or I had an opportunity to add vertical piping. It seems to be working.
The better we understand the nervous systems of other species, the better we can understand our own through comparison and testing, which in turn can lead to more ideas for medical treatments- or augmentation, if you’re into that kind of thing.
The Wiiimote and Nunchuk combo needs a little tweaking (maybe make the wiimote more like a nunchuk for ergonomics, give it an analog stick for coarse camera movement) but it was the most comfortable controller ever since I could place my hands in different positions relative to one another.
I want to see his diagrams, or at least photos of the infrastructure.
I can’t imagine the heat buildup in that room after an hour if the infrastructure is all powered on at once.
Hell yeah! These were really fun for me to play as a kid, and I did like the Raptor ending in particular, but I always wanted a bit more, given how much effort it took to get to the end. Especially the Grant campaign.
As a kid, though, I just wish the map would change and display the next level on the map once you finished the third stage. Even if you couldn’t pick your route anymore, it was always frustrating not really getting to see my progress after that point.
I played it a bit a decade or so ago. I never really got the hang of the main, game-defining mechanic; one of the main methods of movement in the world was to jump from a high point and build momentum while gliding to get higher, but that was also the main way to deal damage, iirc. It was very strange.
As for the crassness, the original Worms game had a self-destruct attack that was about as direct, iirc.
Tax evasion on top of the other illegal activity can increase the consequences if you’re caught. They tend to require warrants before divulging information to other authorities, however any information gathered through legal means can be used against you.
The main benefit of reporting the income is to reduce the likelihood that somebody gets suspicious of the change in buying habits and starts in investigation in the first place.
It’s not hard, but it’s still a hurdle. Warrants also can’t be requested from a judge by just anyone in the USPS iirc, so the start of the process often relies on an employee taking time out of their day to report something they deem suspicious in the first place, likely in an understaffed and overworked office that’s not built to handle the package volume of the area they serve.
Iirc, the USPS can’t unilaterally search your letters or packages because, as a government institution, it would be a major violation of the 4th amendment- even postal inspectors need to get a warrant to open a letter or package that’s not expressly addressed to them if it was in the care of the USPS. I think the only exception is when it’s an ‘Operation Santa’ letter, and there are regulations in place for how those get handled to protect the privacy of the sender.
The private parcel and package companies probably don’t have to abide by the same restrictions because they’re not government owned and operated.
I forget if it was here or back when I was on that other site where I read it, but at least a year ago someone suggested “don’t put it down, put it away” as a mantra to mentally recite whenever I’m holding something at home to prevent clutter build-up in common spits to sit. I don’t always follow it, but it’s been a huge help in managing my own item organization and management.
As a way to combat the difficulty I have with noticing messiness in visually busy environments like a household room, I also try to pick up a piece of refuse or dirty dish l that may have been forgotten whenever I know I’m going near or to the kitchen; I’ve developed that into a reliable habit, which is extra helpful when I forget why I went to the kitchen in the first place- only to go back to the kitchen for a second time, with yet another item in hand.
The individual actions are very easy, simple things I can remember to do in the moment when I think of them as I’m doing something else.
Edit: I’m aware the ask was about things we could implement, not have implemented, but I felt I hit the general idea; very simple changes that may improve QoL.
