Temporary raw modifications to 'boil' the stone, by setting the boiling temperature to 10015, to make evaporate the kind of stone you want, is a good idea when you have spares in the tens of thousands or more. The two downsides are that you have to prepare in advance, since all of the masterworks made out of that junk stone will melt, and you'll get plenty of cleaning jobs.

Magma has more style points, but i've always found it a bit fussy with that 'moving fluids hiding items in hammerspace' bug. Atomsmashers are dwarfy as well, but i'm not sure as well if they remove the entity of the objects they obliterate.

From what i get from the past threads, the only sure way to totally erase some item from the map is to trade it away.

Why not just mod the stone out completely then during worldgen? I made a world with layers of nothing but Native Gold, Marble, and Clownite once. Almost made all my bins out of clownite to save weight but my mind refused to accept it. Every drink was in gold barrels in that fort.

If you feel cheap and cheaty, a stockpile set to take nothing works.

I second this because saplings still grow underneath, and pop to full size when you delete the stockpile, so an nice exploity source of wood too.

Make sure the room covers the whole space? Use the resize option, or delete and re-create the room?

Neighbors. Why? Because it repeats the same story every time. It's either "SOM 1 DIEDED!", "SUM 1 DID SUMFING WONG!" or "SUM 1 HAD A AFAIR!"

Both Neighbours arnd Home And Away with the sheer number of serial killers / explosions / crazy stalker (when they need the ratings) which are set against supposedly "quiet suburban utopias". (Also the old cop show Blue Heelers with it's quiet country town that just happens to have a crazed killer to catch every week) You'd be safer to live in the big city than these "quiet" places.

Home and Away was/(is?) the worst for trolling the viewers through promo ads. It used to seem like every week or two they were claiming some major character was going to die or something. 9/10 times nothing would actually happen, or there would be a deus ex machina totally betraying what they claimed on the promos.

I used to be into biology as a kid, but physics and math tag-teamed and won that struggle later on. And I've loved computers ever since my father carried in that horrible box and booted up MS-DOS before my little eyes for the first time.

I remember when getting an XT with DOS 3 was an upgrade. Visiting the lab where my dad worked all he had was one of these :-



I used to play shitty games on this at my dad's work, my first video game playing experience (except for even shittier games on Apple II's at school - they had like a grand total of 1 or 2 Apple II's for the entire primary school's students to use, so really had to wait for highschool to be allowed to use computers very often)

Well, my first name translates to "Daisuki", not so bad I guess , my username to ケベス "lewd"

Oh, and though I've said it before, I actually really finished Baudolino today and am going to plug it again for being all kinds of fabulous and amazing.  Of the three novels I've read by Umberto Eco, I have to say that I probably found this one the most relatable, fun, and interesting.  It's clever and hilarious.  If you don't believe me, well, just read the first chapter X3

A stab in the dark - Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum ere the other two? everyone has those.

Also, it helps to create "templates" of simple programs, functions etc and re-use these whenever starting a new program. This removes the need to memorize specifics. Most programmers in the real world re-use their old code for new projects. Eventually you will be familiar with the language enough to re-create stuff from scratch, but there's no need to make it harder on yourself than professional programmers do.

Basically start collecting a toolbox of parts, even if you do not understand fully how each part works. Just learn to build them into systems.
