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.

I just got this game and I'm having a blast, this is the style of game I've been hungry for for a long time.

I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don't have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots

i'd settle for more sidewalks in my town
on some streets they just paint a line down the road and call it a sidewalk - one of these is on a road touching an elementary school

I've read the thread; Rust-folk I recognize seem to accept that this was done to reduce compile time without suspecting bad-faith, but I can't independently verify that.
There's a post in there where sometime tries to manually compile the same binary to verify that it matches the shipped binary and they were not able to do it, but there could be a good reason for that. Reproducible builds are hard.

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.

A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: "riced-up Honda civic"

Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they've got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear

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.

most of the people buying these are buying a costume, not a work vehicle, if my neighbors are any indication

I'm not saying there isn't a backdoor, but I can comfortably say that the user who posted that is nuts.

RBC has increased their prime rate to 7.2%; was 6.7% in May

That'll cost about a million dollars in savings to sustain long term, assuming you're invested in the stock market and you withdraw 4% a year ("safe withdrawal rate")
Good luck everybody 😕

I'm not going to get excited about any "deceleration"; this is still an increase. And due to "base effects",^1^ we're comparing against high values. Until it's steeply negative it's nothing to get excited about.
^1^ year over year measures compare now versus a year ago. if a year ago was unusually high, you'd expect this comparison to revert to the mean over time as the window shifts forward; it could have more to do with what you're comparing to (a year ago) than what's happening today

Hard agree; I think academics and programmers are especially susceptible to this. It's an addiction that hooks in intellectual hubris, a condition I have some experience with.
I wrote a farewell to the thousand plus hours I spent on trading I traded futures in my personal account, worked for a small trading firm, and have always been into a rational, scientific look at evidence. I gave it as good of a try as any retail trader can, and learned a lot. Mostly that it's a waste of time, because trading is a [wicked problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem). This is a plea to others that might get sucked in to run away and touch grass instead.
... Luckily, I had some repair tools (specifically a hot air rework station), enough experience to make me cocky, and a general disregard for the risk of destroying the thing. It's as good as new now! Details in the attached link, I hope it helps someone else; I was flying blind.
I made an arugula salad with a bell pepper, some cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, and ~~grilled~~ pan fried haloomi. Honey mustard dressing using fancy raspberry honey. It was a nice light dinner!
I'm grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread I'm not very good at it, but it's not terribly hard to close up broken seams good enough for some use. It sure as heck beats buying a new pair of jeans for $70 just because I somehow destroy the crotch every year I'm finding this to be really satisfying and relatively easy to do. Certainly I can develop better stitching technique and use better tools and material, but it's easy enough to be good enough, or so it seems to me now
