A note that I will be out of town July 18th-25th. Will still have phone, laptop, and internet, but don't be surprised when I take longer to respond to messages/requests. Going to try and be caught up on things before I leave... Hopefully... Jul 15, 2025 at 5:37 PM

        I was away from my home June 18th-25th. Kinda funny how the numbers are the same, just a month offset.

      I don't really have any ideas for EMC 4th of July yet. If you have any ideas, shoot me a message or suggest a promo form. https://suggestpromo.emc.gs/

        Yeah, yours is definitely interesting. The practicality of implementing it might be annoying though. I will have to think on it.

      Hey all. Want to help pick out design our Christmas promos? The suggestion form is still open, and I'll be watching it. With the update, I haven't had a chance to start on them yet. Probably won't program it in till Christmas Eve. So there's time! https://suggestpromo.emc.gs/

      Had a tooth shatter today while eating lunch (something soft)... I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm shaken and freaked out.

        ohhhh that feeling *shudders* My front teeth are mostly fake(I may have shattered them out hitting pavement when I was 9) The composite used to rebuild them only lasts so long. There's a few times I've been eating a sandwich and pop the end of my tooth is gone.

        Glad your dentist was able to get you in relatively quick for a fix!

      A new MC version is likely to drop this week. I am sure it will happen while I am at work. We will get viaversion updated as there is time.

      I think I am generally satisfied with the data fidelity of the update. So can hopefully start focusing on the update itself. Figure out what is actually new. :)

        Timeline on that? That way, I know when to retrieve my gold blocks and beacon that I'm using to mine quickly.

        There will be a waste warning at least 2 weeks before the update. I know that can seem like forever... Just the way it is.

        I figured something along those lines. Thanks, though! That doesn't feel like forever to me; that's actually short enough for me to take seriously but long enough that I'd almost certainly have a chance to retrieve any beacon and iron/gold/emerald blocks I may be using, barring unforeseen technical issues.

      Doing what is right, doesn't always mean doing what is fair.

        It had to do with how people treat others. Golden Rule type of thinking.
        It's hard to do the right thing (morally)

        I guess it heavily depends on the definition of "right" and "fair". For someone if it is not fair it is not right, but for others that does not hold.

        Well, that's what is nice about avoiding absolutes.

        When another person wrongs you, it may be fair to retaliate back. But the morally correct response is sometimes to bite your tongue, to be the person to end the back and forth. Especially when you know the other does not have the emotional maturity to control their actions.

        Again, my situation was High Schoolers. Though it sure sounds like some adult in the world

      Making some steady progress. This update is turning out to be on the work level of going from 1.12 to 1.15. Making progress, but not there yet. Keep knocking problems out of the way

        Kind of. That is still one on my backlog to look at. I've still got issues with data conversion outside of the things I've mentioned.
