Considering most people will start to lose consciousness and risk heart issues at like 5g, I’m pretty sure the speed is way off on number 2.

If you’re already paying for, just roughly guessing, trillions of tons of concrete, surely you can pay off all 12 people that live in Wyoming.

Or lower, because this pushes the great filter that must destroy civilization beyond early space flight.
- Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games 4 weeks ago:
I agree with you, but the prewar era of the game is not the 1950s.
The bombs dropped in 2077. The main divergence of the fallout timeline is that they didn’t discover the transistor until the 2060s or so. Which is why everything has that bulky style to it. The 50s style is also attributed to a kind of cultural renaissance to that era. Kind of like how sometimes hairstyles come back after decades of being out of style, only for an entire time period.

Squad is not developing KSP2
That’s why when you launch the game it says “intercept games” and not “Squad”
I’m starting to think you may not have played it since release though.

Spending a Thousand dollars on a glorified legal pad sounds clinically insane.
I have a TV for watching things at home.
I have a phone for watching things on the go.
If I need to look up information outside my house, again I have my phone which I already pay to be connected to the internet. You need an additional line on your plan for a data connection on an iPad, or rely on public WiFi.
If I need to take notes on something, I can use a 1 dollar legal pad or notebook, which is barely bigger than an IPad and will never run out of charge. If I need to take so many notes that I’ll fill up an entire notebook, I’ll probably just ask to record the thing as a voice memo on my phone.
I’ve still never been convinced that an iPad is a useful device, and I don’t see any way the Vision Pro will be useful for anything other than inundating us with advertising for a larger percent of our existence. God forbid someone spend 10 minutes not looking at their phone and generating revenue for an ad company, now they want to literally strap them to our heads.

You’re giving me flashbacks to the online training my work makes me do every year.
I almost failed the first of 7 courses because I made the mistake of trying to do actual work while listening to the training, and didn’t realize there was a 5 minute timer for inactivity on the video player. And no, there was no additional time provided to complete the training. It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.

- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 month ago:
A part of me says that it’s entirely reasonable that a guy who worked for Boeing and likely signed off on thousands of defective parts would feel a brutal surge of guilt after giving testimony about it. I can’t imagine the guilt if I thought I had potentially hundreds of people’s blood on my hands. We don’t know if he was or felt he was responsible for the deaths caused by MCAS or other tragedies. Maybe saying it out loud brought all of it back and he felt like he needed an out.
Another, louder part of me, says that Boeing either pressured him into committing suicide, or shot him themselves to stop him from revealing too much damaging information.
Another part of me remembers that Malaysia Flight 370 was a Boeing plane that disappeared by essentially cutting all communications and flying back towards the mainland. Knowing now what we do about how Boeing has been run, I think the most likely thing is that some serious technical issues happened to that plane, the pilots tried to return back but were unable to control the plane long enough, probably due to being unconscious or dead, and it eventually crashed into the ocean.
- Comment on Star Citizen's first-person shooting is getting backpack-reloading, dynamic crosshairs, procedural recoil, and other improvements to 'bring the FPS combat to AAA standard' 2 months ago:
It’s not a space sim.
It’s a life sim set in space.
Chris won’t stop until ShowerTech™ is in the game with realistic health debuffs so there’s a consequence when you don’t do the maintenance gameplay loop on your ship’s bathroom.
I wish that was entirely a joke.
But Star citizen has always had FPS missions as a core gameplay aspect, and it’s really one of their main selling points. In no other game can you walk out of a mission, into a ship, hop in the pilot seat and go from the ground to orbit with no cutscene and all of it under player control. The amount of crazy shit you can do just because your character can leave the pilot seat is ridiculous. A month ago I teamed up with some dude who did bounty hunting. He EMPd the other player, had me EVA over to their ship, shoot open the airlock, and gun down the target, all so his buddy could come over and harvest the ship for resources to sell. The emergent gameplay, even though the game can still be very rough, is a really cool aspect of what they’ve made.

Many scientists are still religious. They find their god(s) in the gaps that science can’t explain yet. How the universe was created, how life first started, why the universal constants are set up the way they are. There’s a lot of things that science hasn’t explained yet where one can look for a god.
Signed, a stone cold atheist. But I still respect that some people want a little more out of their life. As long as it’s not hurting anyone, I don’t really care what they choose to believe or do with their time.

- Comment on The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained 8 months ago:
Does billet have their prototype back?
No.
The wording doesn’t matter. Call it an auction, sale, donation, grand theft, whatever you want. But that the end of the day, a small company now no longer has access to their expensive prototype. That’s very damaging to them as a business, let alone the damage that LTT caused to Billet’s image by their haphazard review process. Billet has every right to sue for damages over this, and I personally think they should.
