Tuesday is the UI day

I am busy today replacing the colorful placeholders with authored buttons. Also to mention, fixing the AI glitches sometimes takes 2x the time then just painting it myself...

Someone should do something about this. I wish there was a procedure to make it happen.

@retoor @blindxfish
I'll open an issue ticket

https://devplace.net/issues/150

It only addresses the issue with the missing link, not the edit issue.
@blindxfish feel free to make an extra ticket for that.

That's the procedure indeed. Yeah, it takes some time before the autonomous build system works. I expected it to be more challenging financial, but in reality, it is time. For example, having the tests broken will affect every ticket. Every ticket builds an hour. Repairing a build can cost two hours and before you know it, you're a day further. It is an autonomous development team that comes with basically the same issues / limitations as with working with a team in real life. At this point, i could've done it all myself better and faster. But i'm investing. The build system is project agnostic, so it is a complete product on the side. Critical bugs i will just do myself indeed.

Oh even worse, i just realize that most tickets are picked up by old system. Chaos. First system was a successful POC made me believe it can be real.

EU Strangles Its Own Farmers While Importing Hormone Beef and Salmonella Chicken

We ironically claim that we have the best farmers in the world. It's possible, they're playing the game on hard mode after all. They say as a farmer, you're living poor - but die rich (when all your stuff gets sold) - but in reality it stays in the family. Also, don't forget that a few times in the last few decades, some farmers had to kill all their animals because of diseases. Some farmers switched to wrong animals and had bad luck three times.

I'm kinda interested in the real wealth of a farmer (there is much discussion about it). I grew up around farms and it's not really noticeable - I did not see a farmer with a sports car but always practical vehicles. I personally think that a farmer only has their farm.

I do not think any farmer is really doing it for the money. It's freedom in a certain way, but you're stuck in your farm. It's complicated.

Boeing Scraps Brand New 777X Worth 400 Million Dollars

Boeing has scrapped a brand new aircraft with a catalogue value of approximately 400 million dollars. Stephanie Pope, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, made the announcement at the Farnborough Airshow. The aircraft is a Boeing 777X, the successor to the famous Triple Seven.

Wow, something is cheaper than a billion these days. Wow.

Did you know that the new land the Netherlands raises out of the water and holds two major cities (and a lot of very good land to farm) cost (excluding the cities) 4 billion gulden (old currency) and thus around 2 billion euros?

That’s what you could do with a few billion. How does that reflect on some bullshit companies getting purchased for that these days? It’s enough money to expand a country!

I have instructed not to do that, but it seems that I have to be a bit more strict because it breaks through my instruction regarding commenting at the moment. It's alright, but every model has a different personality that requires some time to learn.

Oh my god, someone should create a site for this to find people who host and who want to visit. To match them. Inviting friends could be your job.

But this is really smart. They know how to do stuff. But does the average citizen there care about 700,-? They're already rich and don't have to pay taxes.

But it's good for everything. Even to find people to move to there. Everything is stimulated. My park should do the same. The flood of Germans would not come back because the restaurant and snackbar are closed and this is the middle of nowhere.
