Even today. A Falcon Heavy can sent 17 tons to TLI (Translunar Insertion), which is nearly three times James Webb. You need a little more Delta-V for the lagrange point that Webb was sent to, but not that much more. The James Webb cost 8.8 billion to make, and 700 million to launch (mostly...

I'm absolutely going to use that somewhere...

My friend with a 3090 got it only for two reasons: - He had a "substantial" gift credit to spend before 12/31/2021 - He has a son who does 3D renders (went from "the night" to "what do you mean, I can't even pour myself a drink in the kitchen")

Double pass. 1500$... and Meta.

What's more is that, if you have a house, the wife is usually tending the garden (for extra food) while the man is off working as whatever. I love the irregular plots aesthetic, and the realistic use of oxen as transport for wood and heavy stuff.

Early Access is already ongoing, but only on Epic Store. The release is scheduled for Oct 18th, and that's when it lands on Steam as well. (assuming no delays)

Almost every MMO that uses steam use it exclusively as the launcher, not the MMO part.

By whom? People who might buy this type of operation would be interested in: - Useful technology (there is none whatsoever) - Or, useable assets (very little of that) - Or, a competent team ready to use (not a bunch of part-timers working on a shoestring) - Or, an established playerbase (which...

An Alien Mothership crashes on Mars in 2022. First american on Mars in 2025.

Just removing the stranglehold of the Congressional oversight would do most of it, though. Imagine NASA getting the same budget as a lump sum and no fixed ten-points objectives by the Space Committee, just auditing of the finances.

That's catfish, not seafood...

Unsurprising. Hydrogen may offer the best performance, but it is finicky.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm stupid with homonyms

EDIT: NVM (shouldn't post in the morning without at least two mugs of coffee in my brain)

Book 1 - 8:45 Book 2 - 8:23 Book 3 - 11:01 Book 4 - 8:43 Book 5 - 9:16 Book 6 - 10:42 Book 7 - 9:32 Book 8 - 14:39 <--- the chonkiest Book 9 - 11:12 Book 10 - 13:07 Book 11 - 12:28 You're welcome. It could be worse. It could be the Wandering Inn (shortest: 34 hours, longest: 61 hours).

It's more of the Blade 2 scene where you got Blade lounging in a bathrobe and Nyssa in shorttop massaging his shoulders :) (the explanation is also pure Jason, you'll see)

That's entirely possible that I'm mistaking books (as I've read them on RR rather than AMZ). Things are slow anyway, so it could be book 8 (in which case book 8 spoiler becomes book 9). I don't think he's rewritten it, because it is fairly significant. (just checked, and the chapters including...

Oh, I think some at the top realize this. The problems is that, with an 18-year old game, there is no viable solution to fix it. Bandaid, yes. Fix? No, not truly. The fact is, wholescale changes run the massive risk to alienate the current, still paying, playerbase, without the slightest...

Secret said that WoW has not innovated since Cataclysm, but I'd argue that Cataclysm didn't introduce any lasting mechanic. And it's not 2 years, it's worse. When you think of the modern basic mechanics that make today's WoW, you think of: - Using flying Mounts (introduced with Burning Crusade)...

I knew before I opened the link it was going to be homo stuff since it was heavily promoted. Not been disappointed.

Fun fact: unless I'm mistaken - but I don't see Camavinga there, he's the only one in the team that isn't - all of them were born in France, and a lot of them in Paris.

One of my friends got that by accident (early birth). He always gets severe hassles when he goes to the USA when they spot his birthplace and ask where his US passport is ("don't have one, I don't live here" "but why???"). Before you ask the same question: he's a pure communist, so even your...

Here, at birth: - One of your parents is French : you're French, no matter where you're born - You're born in France from two parents who DO NOT have a nationality at all: you're French - You're born in France, and at least one of your non-French parents was also born in France Then, you can...

Scott "FLY SAFE!!!" Manley seemed to think the G were harsh, but eminently survivable for that short duration.

When Lindon bows respectfully and utters the word "Gratitude", powerful men blanch. Weapons are death-grasped instinctively. Sphincters open up uncontrollably.

I no longer have a MMO to fall back to. At this point, all of them lose me for pretty much forever once I stop playing. The rose-tinted glasses are broken, so I always remember why I left, and I've yet to see a game fixing their mistakes. WoW is still mostly the same recipe for all the last...

Phil Tucker first novel, Bastion, was a pretty good progression fantasy. He also has a Viking-themed progression fantasy on RR which failed to get traction, but that LitRPG is a good apocalypse.

That's a common thing. It happened to my first company. We were "purchased" by another company, yet somehow all the upper management from my old one ended up in charge of the merged company and the other's C-suite all left. It looked weird on paper, but once I got explained about debt...

At that point, SpaceX will launch daily, and weekly for crewed launches. Mark my words. (okay, slightly exxagerating, but they're aiming for 100 launches in 2023)

SLS. Scrubbing Launches Systematically...

Meh. The best part was the insanity of everyone going in their own direction, and trying to figure out the best way to grab points. A small-team version is not the same.

Dunno. I mean, I've listened to "a few" Taylor Swift stuff. But A. Grande? No idea. I might have listened, but I don't even know if it was hers.

Just tuned in to the live view, and the first panel I see is "Today's launch has been scrubbed".

One of the odd stand-alone LitRPGs I've read, The Starfighter Invitation, contains slightly indirect references to... Fires of Heaven.

Yea. They do 1/2G max, and that's on deceleration, not on the ascent. Crew Dragon does 3.3G.

So would I, although I would probably need to stay in zero-G forever, because there's no way my back would survive the Gees during launch.

Be aware that the first book (and notably the first half) is considered to be relatively slow.

Yup. Leaks, leaks everywhere... https://spacenews.com/first-artemis-1-launch-attempt-scrubbed/

HoT is also what drove me off the game. They replaced level-based access to zones with unlocks piled on unlocks, curtailing the freedom of the original game. The Living Story bits were always meh, but the one that reminds fresh in my mind is the one when Lion's Arch got invaded, and you...
