I've always wondered where all the Japanese Orbitnauts were. A technophile-heavy nation like that with a fairlyadvanced space industry and no Orbinauts? Do we need an outreach program?

 

[Dig Gil]

We maybe need some translation or transliteration and...

EXPAND the brand!

Now more seriously: Technophiles and space program doesn't necessarily mean public interest on space related subjects.

I remember some of them, but I suspect their forum and add-on making activity is often "lost in translation". But it is really strange that there is no known Japanese Orbiter community. The francophone community is pretty active and the Germans have only little problems with being part of the English and/or Francophone communities.

(Also, who should manage a German Orbiter Community? I don't have the time for it and won't volunteer. Also I know that my character is not made for being political...)

That is what the international forums are for. And so far, every german that was brave enough to wander there was recieving appropiate help.

elite II, which is a bit less than 20 years, but it struggles with other gfames like black hawk down, C+C renegade, but it does seem to love flight simulators?

Linguofreak is correct. You need DOSBox to play EliteII on Windows.

Well, but VegaStrike is not that bad as modern replacement.

Agreed. VegaStrike is a good modern alternative. Along the lines of the Wing Commander series.

Is it normal for mosquitoes to whack their heads on the ceiling until dead, when a fumigator is working? It's hard to sleep under that noise.

I had to look up fumigator, and I find it hard to combine it with the word 'sleep'.

Where does the fumigation take place? Where are you trying to sleep?

Um. The word sounded international.

I meant these things:

Typical household anti-mosquito fumigators.

 

[Eagle]

Yeah, in the US when we talk about fumigators we usually mean the cans of poison gas (bug bombs) you set up in a house that you can keep sealed for a few days to kill everything inside. Not quite the stuff to breathe let alone sleep in.

So, how do you call the non-WMD types?

My mother calls them "mosquito poison stuff". The box where they came in call them "Electric Anti-Mosquito Device" (or something like that; literal translations sound weird sometimes).

I've heard a word like "fumigator" in Portuguese for this:

used to knock out bees with smoke.

Someone once said to me, "Do you know why people can't walk through walls? Because someone told us we can't." I got a very sore nose trying to prove his theory.

Onion-Turkey Chili:

3 Onions
2 Cans Diced Tomato w/ Jalapeno
1 Can Beans (I used refried. Black, red or Kidney should work fine)
1 10ish oz of Deli Turkey
1/4 cup chopped black olives
Lots of Red Peppers (the kind like you put on pizza) (I used like 2 tablespoons, I didn't actual measure anything, but I like it hot)
Oregano, Pepper and other savory and/or spicy/hot spices.

Cook onions in pot first until they're 3/4 done
Add tomatoes, beans and spices
Cook until its pretty much done
Add Turkey and Olives
Cook 15 more minutes and its serve
If desired, add cheese of your choice when serving

I was originally just gonna make fried onions, but I took a risk and it was worth it.

The quality of YouTube's search is unacceptable, same with the quality and of the videos it returns. I really enjoy it when the entire first page of returns only contains one of the keywords I used. Its not like the union of all combinations of two or more terms I used will return a null set.
