@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

For sure. If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking til you do succeed.
I think I legit found a bug in the PS5 game. I’m playing Blackbeard and I got to the exploration age and Settler was not a unit in my list. Can’t train, can’t buy, can’t even see it in the list as a unit that isn’t available. It’s literally not in the list. You can’t go far in the game if you can’t make settlers.
I took a bunch of screenshots and plan to post them on a forum later.
#civ7 #civilization7@paco I'm afraid you didn't check the pirate's special ability

@civfanatics Figures. I thought there might be something like that. Stuff that’s really unintuitive is usually me not understanding how it works.
factories got me, too. They require an inventory space in the main inventory. -
@paco
i never even knew it was there. and if i did i wouldn't have known its purpose. -
@paco very cool article, thanks for sharing

@paco There are only few slots left in automobile museums for combustion cars, where fuel-junkies can enjoy time travel into their youth.

Not only did I not know who invented this or what it’s called, I never noticed it at all—could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I did! -
@paco I wonder how/if it will evolve for e-cars with inlets at front/back?

@paco I live in a dense city, don't own a car, but rent them every now and then. So I use these arrows every time I put gas in a car.

@paco I wonder how/if it will evolve for e-cars with inlets at front/back?
@magsamond @paco It hasn't so far. My PHEV has the charging flap on left and a traditional fuel flap on the right. Arrow only for fuel, electricity you need to figure out for yourself.
-
@paco I have only ever owned cars with the fuel tank flap on the right, so I never even noticed there was an arrow until someone pointed it out to me.
-
@paco @briankrebs It took someone at a manufacturer to make such a small but perfect change and even get credit for it.

@magsamond @paco Back around 1960 there were several cars with the gas cap hidden behind the rear license plate.

@paco Nice to know... and especially useful for rentals. Unless the rental is a Toyota RAV4. Then, figure out how to open it _before_ driving off...

So, you’re having trouble opening the gas cap on a Toyota RAV4... Luckily, we've broken down the steps with photos.

@paco Learned something new today.

@paco
In Germany is tgerule of thump: German cars have it on the right, Japanese on the left.
Some newer German vans have the filler now left at the drivers door, which you can't close as long the filler is open. -
@paco TIL: there's a tiny arrow next to the car's fuel gauge to indicate on which side of the car the fuel port is. It is named after its inventor, James Moylan who worked at Ford.
Until today I've only been aware of the existence of such an indicator through a false sort-of rumor that said that the fuel pump icon indicated this through the side on which the fuel nozzle was drawn.
Good to know the name of the well-intentioned person who made this happen.

@paco then there’s this rental that had two of them for some reason which confused and annoyed me (I believe it was a 2024 Chevy Tahoe- this screenshot is one I found later online)

@paco fun Pythagoras fact: he started a weird cult about beans, and then when people who did not like the bean cult came to attack him he refused to run away because he would've had to run through a field full of bean plants, and that was how Pythagoras died.
