thinking about etho & ur last post. maybe redstone is similar to clay and ceramics where if you breathe too much of it in it settles in your lungs and starts causing Problems. so etho has to wear a mask / respirator because he’s been using redstone for so long that it’s started to cause some lung issues or smth
- ramblings of a ceramics student
Thats also true ! I used to wear a mask to deal with clay and this didn't cross my mind phphphph it really gets everywhere.
Etho is forever sneezing and coughing red dust

Sometimes I hate Minecraft.
If you know what problem I was having based off of this picture, but also believe this is how the game should work, you have a vitamin D deficiency, and also I hope that when you're burning in hell, Satan punishes you with the frustrated screams of all the novice Minecraft players that gave up ever trying to figure out redstone because they were too busy having a life to ever learn what "quasi connectivity" is, making it impossible for them to know why their logically built contraption isn't working.
BTW, my problem was the piston being extended despite not being directly powered. This is how I fixed it:
In case you're confused about what changes actually solved the problem, here's what you're missing: I had to move the topmost redstone line over so it'd stop powering the air above the piston.
Yes; All you normal Minecraft players read that correctly. The piston. Was being powered. By air.
And! There are people that would lose their minds if Mojang ever considered fixing- oh I'm sorry, changing it to work more intuitively. I mean, it's only like this because of a bug that treated certain blocks as if they were doors, and it's only still in the game because a bunch of pasty grown men whined that if it was changed then it'd break their ludicrously overcomplicated builds, but... whatever. Shut-ins screech more loudly than children I guess.

26 - The Engineers Guild and Clocktower
The kingdom has it’s first guild. Located in (and under) the city’s clocktower is the Engineer’s Guild. I’m not entirely sure if a large clocktower fits in with the technology level I had in mind for my project, but it was too good a suggestion to pass up. Also, the presence of redstone in Minecraft is too heavy to ignore, which led to the idea that people living in this world would use redstone to advance their technology. So, the city now has a clocktower, and a guild that specializes in redstone contraptions and research.
The actual clocktower itself is still empty. It does have stairs to navigate the building, but there is nothing in it. The clock does have my attempt at a mechanism, but I didn’t think it was worth showing. The building of the clocktower will be something of a clerical office for the guild, while the main focus of this build was the workshop cave. Accessed by a lift or staircase, the cave is where the engineers do their work. It features a small sitting area, a large workshop/research space, a metalworking area, and a woodworking zone. Overall, I’m very pleased with the build, and am looking forward to using this new guild as a way to explain more complex builds.

I have fallen in love with pathetic, miserable-does-not-want-this-paperwork Xisuma. cherish him. pat his head. he deserves all the hugs. he loves his family so much despite being average at admin-ing. Protecc
he's sad. he's wobbly. his evil clone-twin-shadow-helsmit-what-the-fuck-even-is-evil-x keeps heelying in with starbucks to fuck his life up. moon was big. he's got grian on his server. he's got doc on his server. he accidentally ended up running a cryptocurrency scam.
life is very hard for him. he needs a blanket and a nap and hot chocolate. and also hopefully for no one at mojang to notice the several hundred inconsistencies, blank sections, and outright lies in the last batch of paperwork he submitted.
(he got to page two, which asked for a list of names and species of everyon the server. which, fine! cleo, zombie- except, hmm, she's got snakes now. gorgon? undead gorgon zombie. sure. doc... doc's a goat creeper, except he's got all those cybernetics, so... there's something in the documentation from mojang about the percentage robotic a player can be before they have to be classed as android, so he'll have to check that. ditto for rendog, who's a nice, straight-forward werewolf otherwise but- oh dear, ren's never actually told him that, despite the ears and the tail on blatant display, and he knows sometimes werwolves and vampires and the like try and keep that sort of stuff off their paperwork, and he doesn't want to mess up rendog's passport app, so maybe just human? maybe just human. and then grian. avian! great, nice and easy and- oh, but he had all those eyes last wednesday when he was talking to the moon in a voice that made xisuma's ears hurt, and he's pretty sure that's not normal avian behaviour. and then pearl, who he thought was a moth last season but now she's got all those little pointy teeth- and mumbo, who's definitely human, but he also eats redstone and lives, so- and then- oh god, and then, joe hills. joe fucking hills-)
(at which point he figured he'd just lie wildly for the next hundred and fifty pages of forms and hope no one checked them very hard.)

someone just said anita looks like they're a IT and you know what? they're right..!!!
they're literally a tech nerd who likes to tinker with computers (could potentially build a PC if they want if they were to. stream. which ik they don't want to but you can ask them for help through-), have to pretend they have a basic programming and had a habit of dismantling little tech stuff and just spread out like a blueprint 'cause that was how they used to dismantle and reassemble their weapons, and. their only best little makeshift device was.
the stupid fake walkman with a ipod motherboard just for a certain woman who kept destroying her own music players is probably their favourite one to make. and they did!! want to make more!!!
