Perfect example of this is the movie Dogma. Kevin Smith has stated he would love to do a follow up on it, but he as the creator can’t because the IP is owned personally by Harvey Weinstein, and he refuses to give money to Harvey to license or buy it because obvious reasons. So, his own creation is locked away from him because a monster put up the money for the original before Kevin or most people knew they were a monster.
Huh, interesting landing profile. I was looking at the artists render thinking “where are the landing legs?” but turns out it belly flops down on one side for touchdown. Neat!
That’s because it probably was
I tried this with my son, who is now 17 and not nearly as computer literate as I was by his age, let alone Linux literate at all. I think it’s a generational thing, as a kid growing up in the 90s I HAD to learn how to administer our PC at a higher level to do the things I wanted to do. Now with easy apps and tablets and auto-installation of all-the-things you just don’t need to be an advanced user to do what you want to do. This is just my experience, YEMV
Kerbal Space Program 1. I bought it in early beta for like $14, have received all subsequent updates for free because I bought it so early, sunk literally thousands of hours of enjoyment into it and come out with a solid basic understanding of orbital mechanics.
I cant think of a better return on investment I’ve ever made.
I’ve tried to quit cigarettes more times than I can count, and replacing it with vaping has been the only thing that’s worked for me. Haven’t had a puff of a cigarette since June of 2020. Is it good for you? Hell no, and I’m still working on cutting vape too. But, it’s got to be better. I don’t wake up coughing every morning anymore, and I can exercise more without wheezing.
I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I’ve just set a reminder to share it Monday morning
Wood fired Brown Bread? How’s Brown Bread gonna feed his family now? :(
I bought Kerbal Space Program 1 for $14 when it was in version 0.16 I think, before it was in early access on Steam. I’ve received all updates and DLC for free since then because I got in before a certain date, logged definitely thousands possibly near 10k hours in it, and it is by far the biggest bang for my buck I’ve ever gotten from a video game ever. Thank you HarvesteR and original dev team!
Highly recommend the ice caves at Eisriesenwelt! We visited Salzburg many years ago and made a day trip out to this cavern system and it was an awesome experience. Also highly recommended stopping and having a pint and lunch at the restaurant between the skylift and the rest of the walk up the mountain. Breathtaking view for a meal.
I accidentally activated this in the grocery store like 2 weeks ago and had no idea how I’d done it until just now seeing this thread. My phone started beeping loudly and counting down on the screen and it freaked me the hell out because I had no idea what was going on. People were looking at me like I was about to detonate a bomb or something! As soon as it finished and starred to dial 911 automatically I hung it up before a ring, but goddamn it was concerning to me and those around me. What the hell, Android?

Been using VIM since 2011ish and I can’t imagine using anything else.
It’s my understanding that any photos NASA takes are considered public property so long as they don’t contain anything covered under ITAR or otherwise classified/secret technology. Surely this would include any images being sold to the public, since they’re obviously not containing classified material? I agree this is strange if they’re only being made available for purchase.
r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.
Generally speaking yes, but there are some exceptions.
For example, flashlights intended to be attached to a firearm DO incur a premium for a good reason. They’re subjected to intense sudden movement and vibration, repeatedly, and it takes a lot of extra hardening and redundancy to develop a light that can repeatedly withstand that kind of abuse without eventually knocking core components loose. If you were to try to attach a tactical light intended for airsoft/bb use to a real firearm, its not going to last long. There’s a reason gun lights are as expensive as they are.
