Supreme commander was what you describe. You setup your factory to make a unit or a set of units and repeatedly build them until canceled or not enough resources. You could zoom out to view the whole map. it was very much a strategy game and not really tactics or micro.

I wonder if the bounce back is the body trying to find homeostasis… of sorts. I’ve gone hiking for a week and come back having lost 10 lbs. A month later I’ve gained it back. I know it’s your diet, but gaining it that fast can’t be normal.

- Comment on Why are mental hospitals run like prisons? 3 months ago:
I work with psych patients. It’s mostly to screen if they need to be in/out patient, new prescription, or whatever they need. Our hospital mostly gets people that have detention orders (judge orders them to get help at the facility) which means they can’t leave until they’ve been evaluated by a therapist and a plan to help them is setup. Sometimes it’s people that either chose to stop taking the meds for whatever reason or ran out of their prescription and can’t afford to get more and get brought in for their behavior. There’s patients that come in every 4 or 5 months because their prescriptions only last 90 days.
The scrubs allow patients to have clean clothes that we know don’t have anything they can use to hurt themselves or others. Some patients haven’t slept, eaten, showered in days. Giving them a shower, clean clothes, and food helps a lot.
I had a patient that while anxious and going through somethings, was talking to me, venting, occasional jokes, etc. Calm and polite the whole time. Out of nowhere, they ran towards another patients room, but only got half a meter in. They squared up like they were going to fight me, but immediately went back into their room after I asked them to. Once in the room they starting kicking the bed trying to break off a piece of rail.
By that time security, RN, and 2 other staff members were there to witness the patient wrap a blanket around their neck and try to choke themselves. All this within about 90 seconds. From calm to actively suicidal. I got yelled at for allowing the patient to enter another patients room.
There are patients that scream, threaten to kill you, and are overly aggressive and then break down crying after you tell them to stop yelling.
I’m sorry OP had a horrible experience and mental health doesn’t get appropriate funding. I’d say 95% of ppl are good patients, but the rules are for the 5% that aren’t and we can’t know which ones are gonna be the 5%.

- Comment on Chinese hackers are determined to 'wreak havoc' on US critical infrastructure, FBI director warns 4 months ago:
I read somewhere they have trouble hiring hackers because they ask if they’ve ever done drugs including weed and it’s an automatic deal breaker for the old farts running the hiring process. Also the pay is shit compared to what they can make in the private sector. I guess leaning on patriotism isn’t working anymore.
- Comment on working at a hospital: should I remain in the room watching a patient until he takes a certain medication? 5 months ago:
Work in a hospital, not a nurse. Usually nurses bring meds with water and hand then to the pt. They either check on the lines, pumps, etc or chart for a minute or two. Then ask if there’s anything they need. By then they usually have taken the meds and the RN leaves. There’s only so many times you can tell a pt why they need to take them. I work with psychiatric pts and usually, if they refuse the RN just notes that they refused.

The fact that people give money to the US, or any country, for essentially an IOU slip of paper promising to pay you back with interest is so weird.
Speaking of gold reminds me of this sci-fi book where aliens come to earth and cause damage. They ask how they can make things right and are explained gold and the monetary system. They go oh, we can totally filter gold from the oceans and pay you back in tons of gold per day. This caused panic as the huge influx would crash the system. I think it was an asimov short story.

- Comment on Judge blocks California law requiring safety features for handguns 9 months ago:
I’m trying to figure out how a handgun would microstamp a bullet. My understanding of guns is that the magazine pushes the ammo up and the slide pushes it in the chamber. Then, the striker sets off the powder. The only place the bullet(the projectile) might come in contact with the gun would be as it’s pushed into the chamber.
