    Advanced Question How to create bases

    well, seriously, you will not have many alternatives to at least correcting the configuration file of a base with a text editor (Use a more advanced one, like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code, if you want to stay sane).

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    Discussion Trees for Orbiter

    I wouldn't limit this to trees, but also to rocks and boulders on other planets. And, for some research food, this one seems like a nice compromise solution, if a dedicated forest renderer is needed: https://inria.hal.science/hal-00650120/file/article.pdf

    Eurovision Song Contest 2024

    I think the time it takes from seeing Barbara Schönberger to switching the channel again, should be a measure for German ESC fandom. It took me 35 ms (estimated).

    Eurovision Song Contest 2024

    The Dutch participant for the ESC, Joost Klein, has been ruled out of the contest because of accusations and police investigations about threatening an employee of the venue with violence. Since he was one of the favorites of this year, really weird.

    Eurovision Song Contest 2024

    You have only three minutes to be remembered, so of course you need to be as attention catching as possible, without offending people. The ESC is pretty much musical trolling.
