    Gaming Kerbal Space Program 2 (currently in Early Access)

    Why? It's basically falling. Cats are well-known for their falling abilities.

    Gaming Kerbal Space Program 2 (currently in Early Access)

    I mean, why not play whatever antropomorphic animals in space? It's been done before! (I've got to get myself that source book one of these days...)

    Gaming Orbital Margins

    It's been a while, but it's finally here: The new major feature changing a lot of the early game, and the first actual progression system. Now you'll have to build your network of business contacts to get good jobs, but maintaining good relations with them will also have other long-term...

    They're kicking you upstairs? My boss tried that too,due to lack of personnel. I managed to resist 🤪

    Fortunately I work at a small company with decent people. Never had to play the blame game even once in my 8 years here. There's been plenty of "I did suggest that when we implemented that feature", but the response so far has always been "oops, sorry". Of course, there's been plenty of "oops...

    The feature cycle of table filters: 1. We should be able to filter this table for cells containing arbitrary strings. - Ok. 2. We realized that sometimes we need to filter for an exact term, not just a contained one, could you put in a switch? - Ok. 3. You know, it would be really handy if we...

    What music are you listening to?

    It's a song about strugging with diarrhea, in the epic style of rhapsody of fire, that also contains queen's rhapsody. Nanowar of steel continues to prove that Dadaism can be glorious if you take the art seriously. I think the scene I love most is when the choir leader goes into full...

    Did not expect to meet the bosnian ape society on this forum. Just... the possibility never occured to me. They're great, though. They taught me all I know about chess!

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    The required precision for that catch is insane. What the hell are they going to do if they encounter an unexpected wind gust?? Build a new tower? :oops:

    News Changes to the SpaceX BFR rocket.

    I am not sure you can in case of a rocket launch. Not unless you develop a microphone specifically for it (probably one that uses a square foot of leather as a membrane or something similarly silly...)

    The second part turned out to be even funnier. I completely lost it one and a half minutes in when he casually mentions people flashbanging themselves with LEDs because the brightness is not measured in lumen. And it only gets better from there.

    What the hell happened in 84? 😲

    Science Earth might have had a ring during the Ordovician

    And, true to form, it can't draw it because the only planets with rings it knows are gas giants. Image-generating AI keeps being hilariously incompetent... 😂

    Science Earth might have had a ring during the Ordovician

    Quite a fascinating article: https://phys.org/news/2024-09-earth-million-years.html Basically, the impacts from the Ordovician impact spike are not distributed randomly enough and suggest the impactors came from a common orbit. One reasonable explanation is a ring system created by an asteroid...

    News Russia deploys Avangard hypersonic missile system

    Oh boy, where to even start... :oops: Paired with a lack of compassion, that's exactly what greed is. Here at least we agree. We are not special in that regard. There have been many like us, and there will be many more. What keeps confusing me is people realising this, and then going "oh well...

    What music are you listening to?

    This isn't really a music video, but it's about music. Also about science, though mostly about funding science. Specifically, about raising money to science the hell out of 6 metal vocalists. The full program that has been done for "normal" opera singing a long time ago, so this is kind of overdue.

    Electric propulsion for VLEO satelites

    That... sounds interesting. How would it work? A bit difficult to tell without additional detail, but probably yes. @Thunder Chicken has made an entire jet engine simulation, so air-breathing engines are not a show stopper.
