dunno what the cap is but ive had insulation walls start taking pressure damage when the steam pressure got super high. You can reinforce it with double or triple walls or prevent it altogether with walls four tiles thick. I think bunker tiles might be impervious to pressure damage at 1 tile...

The switch from carbon composites to steel implicates welding quality as potential failure points all over the whole thing. Their original design was based on carbon fiber for all the pressure volumes, especially that lox tank, and they even built a couple for the BFR: The outer hull was...

Kinda looks like a welding failure... the steel shell deforms inward there.

He won it two years consecutively. At the very least @Xequecal deserves an "Asshat Emeritus" title and avatar. It's even got some evil latin in it.

All that lox and no ignition spark anywhere?

They'd balance incoming and outgoing traffic to maintain momentum. The incoming mass would spin it up after it loses momentum sending stuff out. You'd need several of them to make it really work. Something like the tether would be almost a necessity for mining asteroids, where the costs of...

The thing is it's a solution for boosting things IN ATMOSPHERE into interplanetary velocities, which is pretty inefficient when you can do it for orders of magnitude less energy when you have a drag coefficient of zero. Once the mass you want to accelerate to Mars is already in orbit, then...

Cally makes me wish I'd joined NXIVM.

Except for the very rarest materials that are vanishingly scarce in Earth, it would almost always be waaaay more valuable in orbit. By the time a serious asteroid mining rush has begun, orbital manufacturing will already be further along. And bringing raw materials TO orbit will inevitably be...

Nah it's not done. The last one got real good but I dunno how they'll do that massive time jump mid-season. Thus far, they've been cleverly finishing one book two thirds through a season then starting the next one with the remaining episodes to sustain tension.

She released it opposite Ford vs. Ferrari and expected to beat it with the female quadrant---which is precisely SEXIST. Ford made 31 million over the weekend, which beat expectations by almost 50% and cost only slightly more. And no, at least the studio was smart enough to risk its exposure...

Impractical for anywhere with an atmosphere but essential for anything without... like the moon or asteroids. You could make a small scale one that's spun up with an ion thruster for sending whiffle balls of processed asteroid stuff back to cislunar lagrange points.

I'm sure some form of personality screening is used in low-level HR, even if only as part of a third-party background service. We used it for vetting senior positions as part of broader risk intelligence assessments. They'd pair it with some kinda basic aptitude testing, kinda like how TAPAS...

Murder Apologist?!?

It would have to include photoreal blowjobs to be THAT good.

Wait STOP VOTING Y'ALL you said XEQUECAL won: WTF?

Natgas is effectively free in the US for at least the next three decades. It's not going anywhere.

He's not gonna fuck you. Unless you're a butch dyke. Then yeah, he'd prolly fuck you.

Ballot invalid. You have failed America.

ME3 was actually great until the very ending. The ending was a goddamned catastrophe. And really, the ACTUAL ending was the Citadel DLC sendoff. That's where they wrapped up all the stories going all the way back to the ME1. In fact, they did such a good job with the Citadel DLC that it...

So like they shut the servers down and it's f2p? I didn't pay much attention after it flopped hard.
