note how they ignore the large majority of what you say and hyper-focus exclusively on the talking points that they are trying to convey

Thats like 9 out of 10 debates on Lemmy regardless of community. Everyone thinks they are the exception.

Yeah even reddit is fucked these days.

By the way note there is not always an easy way to find communities naturally so I would recommend thinking of some key words and searching for communities with them to fill in some niches

Every person that keeps saying it’s good that there is no one here sounds like scrooge in my head going,
“Good, all to decrease the surplus population”

I studied theoretical astrophysics and astro xenobiology and part of a thought experiment we did was on the long term affects of low gravity habitation. While we mostly have zero gravity studies the whole 1/3rd or less of our gravity makes some extrapolations pretty simple like cell wall thinning and the whole clots thing, and the small cardiovascular tubes of the eyes make for some good starting points to notice the effects, especially blindness.

But yeah the physical moving items with friction in a light gravity situation pose a pretty big issue for those rotating rings. While a lashed together collection of asteroids can be pretty rough but in a no gravity situation can be operated like a space station of its own. And a large station can be spun slower than the small rings needed for a planetary surface. Recent short paper on this https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20210019591/downloads/ICES-2021-142.pdf

For Jupiter that is some really sci-fi stuff i have seen for it but essentially we could build a vacuum based balloon, the high amounts of hydrogen and helium make for great fuel resources and there are lots of other materials immediately in the area and water from Jupiter’s atmosphere. Though the physics on the dirigible are silly and way far from something we are doing soon and so is any of this kind of speculation.

Unfortunately the nearest and most likely option is the ugly we go out and start grabbing asteroids and making a really ugly space station that works.

And also robots are not an option. You have clearly never sat on a clean meeting from COSPAR’s Planetary Prevention policies. We get zero room for contamination to the poont where my mentor just suggested shooting a solid copper ball from orbit and collecting the exploding dust since it was the only way to follow all the protocols. Once people stop caring, people are cheaper, less rare, and have their own fabrication system built in.

The moon is a good staging area for rocket launches because of the low gravity but the moon wars will be rough on it i bet and its not like there is a glut of material we can strip from them unlike asteroids and if we destroy it we are gonna be really messed up as a planet.
Plus low gravity is almost worse than no gravity really. We cant spin the moon around faster but we can strap some asteroids together and make some weird stations with lots of metals that are right there. Low gravity of the moon and Mars actually will likely cause so many clots that you end up blind within 7 years and dead shortly after and we cant easily mimic or add more gravity.

Venus and jupiter both strike me as floating habitation if we ever get there but the moons of jupiter are fantastic and also 5 and a half years of flying away. So not gonna be a super useful base unless we figure out a different means of travel.

Im still a big fan of Europa and finding out if we do have an alien competition in this solar system.

Oh yeah, seriously Mars is a really bad choice of an exoplanet to colonize, so small the gravity difference will kill you if none of the other horrible things about it.
Venus is actually the most reasonable and likely to be habitable but you know… We have to figure out the whole “stop it from melting us” thing and the constant volcano action aint helping.

We will probably colonize space on asteroids with slave labor before anywhere else in this solar system.

I dunno,
I didnt see a Cheddar Gorge so this doesnt look like any Somerset i know.

Fricking lazy millennials. His ancestors did proper sham elections, put the effort in.
Bah, and calls himself a dictator. Where’s the passion? The effort of staging a fake election?

I mean sure. I just wish I had the choice and could do cars for just the last miles.

Cars are more convenient than a bus route locally but long distance travel where everyone can sleep to be rested for vacation and there no big security theater for local travel and I just keep my bags and snacks? Ugh so good.

It doesn’t have to be more convenient in destination choices but in travel I think it has some positives.

Wow. Get why people say Chicago is affordable. Didn’t even impact the surrounding counties like other cities.

3 months short for me but that’s because it took me that long to figure out how Lemmy worked.

The fact the police were medaled for shooting people before and given citations this time shows Dahl definitely understood the police problem.

I do I just didn’t understand how separated the Canadian dollar had gotten until seeing that price.

Holy mother of…

LOL I was so excited but then realized maybe it’s bad that I’m most excited for yet another racing game when that’s also supposed to be the launch title.

They announced it at the Xbox showcase which was basically a direct.

I would be a little shocked if they didn’t actually believe they could make this timeline since it’s with the previous 4 years. Just being grumpy about how loose they have been with this title and even still the release date.

Agreed.

But kinda need exclusives worth dropping that amount of cash for.

:O===

Yeah I am expecting the upgrades to be $30. I can’t imagine dropping $800 for 2 games and games I played fine in 720p

Remember when they said it would be out within 12 months back in 2022?

Only 39 months later we are getting that timeline again.

I’m so pissed.

$450 for the base console

• $40 in tax
• $60 for the proprietary memory card that only comes in 256GB
• $70 $80 for the game ($90 with tax)
• $30? Dollars for the hardware demo that should be included to learn the system
• $50 for Nintendo online +
• all the other stuff they seem to demand their customers pay and apps we have to install
• more ways to give them money if you want the switch 2 upgrades on games you own or want to play with the hardware at all.

This is $700-$800 just to play a couple of games.
Every other game showed basically was not exclusive. But they didn’t even show me a reason to get the hardware in all that. No updated eShop or drawing and productivity apps like the DS. No browser or Bluetooth confirmed. In fact they confirmed that the voice chat only works with the console mic.

Give me back a Nintendo that gives a crap and doesn’t just want money trying to make kinect 2.
