Superfluous J

(3 ideas. #2 seems easiest) My very first thought is the "KABOOM" mod though it seems to be outdated. https://spacedock.info/mod/833 Second thought is to follow this old post. No clue if it'd work but hey what have you got to lose? And my third thought is to EVA construct a 2nd docking port somewhere accessible to a ground vehicle, and then docking that ground vehicle to your current vehicle to hopefully re-root the ship and allow you to take that port off (because yes, you cannot remove the root part with EVA construction)

But I've thought of it in less than one. Less than a decade of days actually. I listen to Journey all the time

That goes for Judas Priest in general. Man my middle school years were weird due to this band Anyway, here's my "random song you've not heard in a decade that just pops in there" for the day:

Uninstall half of the mods you have installed. Load the game. If it loads, uninstall those mods and reinstall the half you had uninstalled. Load the game again. If the game does not load, you have a new - but smaller - set of mods that you know contains the problem mod(s). Goto step 1. If you're here, both sets of mods loaded the game, and that's weird. Eventually, you should get down to 1 single mod that won't load, and that mod is the problem.

There are no devs to make a statement.

I have both versions, and it was so long ago I don't remember the details but I do recall that actually getting it on Steam was the only way to have it on Steam. I'd say wait for a sale and shuck out the $5 or whatever for it.

You can address the weight problem by lowering the gravity of the planet on which the creature evolved, down to 0 if you do something like Larry Niven's Smoke Ring. A lifetime ago I wrote a story about a pair of worlds that are most easily described as Rask and Rusk but with an atmosphere, and on it I had flying creatures that didn't use jet propulsion (Frankly I feel the work involved in getting it to work would be better done having the creatures just have better regular wings) but did breathe in and out through different holes, and while flying they were just constantly breathing.

You obviously have not heard of Squirrel With A Gun https://store.steampowered.com/app/2067050/Squirrel_with_a_Gun/

PR0n!

Everybody wants to go back in time and give everybody guns. I want to give Aristotle a huge telescope.

You can't edit the HTML in your signature, but you CAN get some things in your signature that aren't possible in the editor. For example, you can't (at least I never figured out how to) get a fully realized html table with row widths and invisible borders. However you CAN create an html file (just on your local computer) and create the table there, load that html file into your web browser to make sure the table looks like you want it, and then copy/paste the table into your signature. It's a huge pain and You can't edit your signature after that or you'll risk mucking it up (i.e. you'll need to do all your editing in that html file and copy/paste each time) but it *does* work. I used to do it for my signature in which I had a table embedded inside a cell of another table, both of which had transparent borders so you didn't know - just looking at it - that I used tables at all.

Every time someone mentions "Freelancer," in my head I hear "alpha 1, dash 1"

Can't hurt to wishlist it.

Geez imagine the part count...

It's one of my favorite books in spite of a few things, at least one of which breaks the forum rules to talk about. In addition to the Ansible, there's that pesky antigravity device that was well hidden through most of the book and then dropped in our laps as a megaweapon. However aside from those few things (which are fine. If you don't bend the rules a bit it's not SCIENCE fiction, it's just regular old fiction) the story is frighteningly believable. The 2nd book, Ender's Shadow, is just as good. I heard bad things about the rest so skipped them. The movie was ... fine I guess but it missed out on a lot that I thought was important - including ACTUALLY SHOWING US THE F'IN GAMES I mean that's what I wanted to see I'd happily watch JUST the game for 2 hours and we get like 5 minutes and montage. Grumble grumble grumble. To this day, whenever I'm about to do something difficult, I pause and think to myself, "The enemy's gate is down."

I'm'a throw out the TekWar TV show (never read the books) as surprisingly good Sci Fi for how cheesy it was. In case you don't know, it's a show based off a book series written by none other than Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner. Now, I'm not saying it's perfect - the hackers go into this virtual reality thing where they fly around a colorful landscape to hack into companies and stuff - but the social near-future predictive stuff I found surprisingly spot on. Like in one episode, they basically predicted the iPod. Now, predicting that we'll be able to walk around with little music players isn't all that impressive, but this show predicted that the maker would lock the users in with proprietary code and licenses. And self-driving cars. Sure that's a no-brainer, but did you think that then restrictions would be lifted on advertising, such that the "freeway" would become known as the "adway"? Coming soon to a major metropolitan area near you, I'd be willing to bet. The show is by no means "good," but it is fun if you like a healthy dose of cheese with your science fiction.

Dunno, most of what's on here it's a stretch to call it "activity." The only real activity related to the subject of the forum is questions about playing KSP1. The rest is people realizing the KSP2 is actually dead (and a few told-you-so's) and several long-running Lounge threads. The biggest "new" thread - and biggest collaboration of people in the community that's left - in the past month or so is all the discussions about backing up the forum in case the plug is pulled.

Oh that makes it okay then.

Build 2 ships, one with monoprop and one with vernors. Check their dV stats and decide if the drop is worth it. I tended to find it is, so much that if my ship needs more monoprop than is in the capsules, I use vernors.

KSP3 confirmed.

Someone posted on X (Formerly Twitter): Does anyone else find it weird that no one found it weird in the 90s that one of the Backstreet Boys asked, "am I sexual?" and all his friends answered "Yeaaaaaaah" And so now for a week this has been in my head.

That makes sense. It's also the first (and fairly early) step in the downfall of Twitter.

I'm not big on Reddit for many reasons, but I do not understand why moderators would "strike" over the removal of bots, especially because from what I can tell there was a problem that it fixed.

PC, not console or phone or whatever. Firefox, not Chrome. Easy YouTube Video Downloader. You want the one from here: https://www.yourvideofile.org/support.html Plex server. They're pretty lightweight. I run one 24/7 on my aging gaming computer and it runs fine. Now you can watch your videos (and delete them once done) from anywhere, after you've downloaded them from YouTube to watch locally. NOTE: This assumes that the problem is them throttling your videos and you COULD watch them if you waited several minutes each time it "caches" your video. The downloading could take as long as it wants to, you don't care as you're going to watch them later. I've been watching videos like this for over a decade and would never willingly go back to the YT interface.

I'm not sure Best Buy has the budget to send up someone from Geek Squad to replace the chip every time it dies. And you can't keep the chips on the station (except in a lead-lined box I suppose?) because they'll degrade at the same rate. It'd be like trying to store firewood in the fireplace.
