Make sure the brain is in gear before lighting off the fireworks!

Ugh. If games like Stellaris are going to be making major rule changes in automatically-pushed updates, they have *got* to record game version in their save files and use the old rules for old saves. Otherwise your whole strategic situation can change under you in the middle of a game. (Better yet, add rule changes as options that can be toggled on our off when starting a new game).

Just had a display of noctilucent clouds here, at 45 degrees latitude. And a good one too. While I might have seen extremely weak noctilucents close to the horizon once or twice before, this display is unprecedented

That is one of the greatest things I have seen on the internet in quite some time. Patrick Stewart (heh heh, "P. Stew") has a great sense of humor (and a strangely good voice for this sort of music).

Fireworks are one of the few things that we have left to enable evolutionary selection.
I just hope there isn't too much collateral damage. :hide:

These images are beautiful, the second image look like the waves of a calm sea.
Meanwhile at Orbiter Screenshot Thread
Last week would have been the 30th anniversary of STS-61H carrying the Palapa and Westar satellites along with Britain's Skynet.
Please do not put it in orbit...

Switzerland experienced two sonic booms this morning, something I haven't heard since supersonic flight was banned for excercises when I was still a child. Two F18 were scrambled to escort an Israeli Jumbo that received anonymous bomb threats through swiss airspace. I have no idea what help they would have been if the threat was real, but what have you. I'm sure the pilots were much obliged for the opportunity to unleash the full 66,000 horses, if only for a short while.
But it was quite a throwback. The booms could be heard in almost the whole country.

Internet is broken.
Attached my phone to the PC, and am now looking at the traffic meter while trying different sites.
It's really curious - some things look completely thin, like Twitter, but take several Mb.
Others you'd expect to be heavy, but they barely make a blip, like Facebook.
O-F makes a little blip, Google makes a big one thanks to JUNO.
Youtube at 480p takes about 0.4Mb per second - a bit less than i feared, but still a lot.
Skype barely makes a blip.
Typical Wiki page takes half an Mb.
And the dickhead prize goes to the mobile service provider's site.
Loading their page took 12 Mb, just to get to the point where i can look at the balance and limits.
On a 75Mb/day limit that's a very nice touch.
Anyway, if it was still a 21.6 kbit/s dial-up modem, today's internet would have been completely unusable.

Does anyone want compile errors? I've got some to spare:

Looks like an average round of core refactoring or include-tree restructuring to me...

Until three years ago in my town we had using Dial-Up. While broadband was available, it was very unstable, and had to use a dial-up modem. At the slightest thunderstorm and lightning we had to replace modems.
Three years ago they (The Telephone Cooperative of Monte Hermoso) installed the "optical fiber" and that's when they told us that it had already stabilized the broadband connections.:shrug:
The most beautiful of all is that no other "authorized" ISP to operate in our town.:idk::idk::idk:
But anyway, at least the Internet is more stable than anything I've ever known.
But if something beautiful memory of that moment with dial-up, apart from the maddening downloads of updates for Windows Vista (Home Basic:facepalm
, was the patience we had to exercise.As the Solar System tour in Orbiter in real time.
