    If you are talking about the airbags around the lander that only works up to a certain weight. The heavier ones can not be slowed down enough just with the airbags/ parachute because of the thin atmo.

    Gotta admit, had to google this shit too as my last biology class was some 20+ years ago

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yeah i think Tuco wanted some plants to plug directly into the wall socket or something(extremely simplified) and the first thing to accomplish that would be getting rid of Photosynthesis ad replace it with something else. Fungi dont run on pure photosynthesis but require dead organic material...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yes Photosynthesis is very elegant, efficient and basis for converting sun energy into something usable by almost all living beings on this planet( some Extremophiles excluded) The only reason why any one would want to get away from it is for deep space exploration and settling on planets that...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Would it have to be a one shot from organic compounds to stuff edible by humans? Why not a multi step process converting simple carbohydrates to more and more comlpex ones with end result that can be eaten by deep space explorers? At least until we get the Star trek matter resequencers.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Well the whole photosynthesis could go away and with it chlorophyll. Mushrooms already do that and they are delicious.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    There are some bacteria that thrive on electricity and from there it would not be that far of a stretch to genetically engineer some algae.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    While plants running on electricity would be cool from a pure scientific point it would be just adding one more inefficiency to the process. sunlight is plentiful and cheap and creating electricity for the plants has energy conversion loses any way you look at it. A plant that somehow utilizes...

    The Moral Superiority Thread: How much better are Vegans?

    So you were not bragging how you are more ethical because you are vegan? As an omnivore i know i don't get full unless i am sure something suffered needlessly before it became my food.

    What resources does our planet have that are not abundantly available and much easily exploitable elsewhere in space? The only thing i can think of are complex hydrocarbons as result of life and maybe some alloys we could eventually make that are not available from your neighborhood asteroid...

    Grats. Rerolled.org is worth $20,243.

    How do they even calculate the worth of the website. Do they take adblock into account or are all calculations based on your typical AOL internet user?

    Grats. Rerolled.org is worth $20,243.

    Sheeeit! Could make a TV show about it too. We buy an old and decrepit URL, renovate it, rack up some views and then sell it to a "Craig" type for some major cash!

    Grats. Rerolled.org is worth $20,243.

    6 figures budget you say? Pull the trigger a_skeleton_03 and then get on setting up another site we can migrate to. With that kind of scratch the new site could be mega awesome.

    You need to use standard units. How is a fleet of autonomous vehicles compare to a fleet of A) Grandmas B) Rubberneckers trying to check if anyone was decapitate in the crash on other side of highway divider and C) Fleet of Asian (non-Tokyo drift) drivers.

    What i would like to know is are trains fully autonomous yet or do they still require meatbags behind the levers? I dont recall reading anything about large scale autonomous operations of trains be it cargo or passenger. Wouldn't those be the ideal test-bed for something like this tech?

    The whole autonomous cars deal goes out the window as soon as you have to mix it with human drivers on the same roads. I dont care how powerful a computer they slap on that sumabitch because as soon as it gets on the same road as some of the morons i already see driving its going to be toast...

    I bought FG and 5e core pack a long time ago but it has been just sitting in my steam library. I tried using it once but it just seemed too complicated. I am going to have to check out those links you posted to try and figure it out.
