  1. Yes. "Zardoz" (1974). You're in for a treat.
  2. It's a secondary channel that he used to host podcasts. I believe what Jim Sterling says: YouTube just says "violated community standards" without giving any details in either the ban or the refusal response to the appeal. I'll believe Jim Sterling over YouTube. With what YouTube/Google has already done, they've already eroded all the good will I had in them. They are just being stupid, using algorithms to avoid paying for staff and having to set policies except by some vague programming no one but their programmers ever see.
  3. But of course. And as often the case, I was editting the post as you replied. It's got more now.
  4. It's not quite a statue. It flies. There's also an...interesting outfit for the crew. "And thus cars begat carports."
  5. Here's a suggestion for your next project.
  6. I don't know how anyone still sticks with creating content on YouTube except out of habit. Just watching a video by Jim Sterling from November 25. On the weekend he had a sub-channel terminated for "multiple community violations" but no details given. He appealed it and that was rejected. It's amazing how much I've watched on YouTube in the past few years. But the way it's going, within a year or two it could lose all good will and seriously decline from the crappy and inconsistent management.
  7. Hit building, lost fender, kept going, rolled over, lost more parts, ejected driver, driver gets up and find car rolling towards him on its wheels. Double @Triop with extra Triop and more Triop on the side.
  8. @The Minmus Derp is busy derping around Minmus, so nope. @Triop, are you there?
  9. Well, as for action plans, if creators you like move to another platform (there are a few forming), I'd say support them there. Because it's getting to be the same-old same-old at YouTube.
  10. Looks like Chaos is causin' some heresy here....
  11. There's a mod that's just a MM script that deals with the Breaking Ground Science Notification Spam. With an upgraded MM, it should still work. https://github.com/JarredAllen/ksp-StopBreakingGroundNotificationSpam
  12. That may be so in the crazed history of American law. But look at it from the point of view of a society. The company has to do things that provides more. Create goods and services. Provide employment. Engage in research and development and use or publish that. Even just find different ways of organizing things, including investments from other members of society. If all a corporation does is grab a bigger chunk of the pie and only benefits the few, it becomes a burden. It may be protected by legislative and regulator inertia, but if it's not doing something to benefit society, what good is it?
  13. So...when do we see the video of the getaway?
  14. The problem with YouTube is it *keeps* changing its mind. Sometimes it's justified. But often it's rather radical and abrupt and destructive. Sure, people started making careers on YouTube and perhaps they shouldn't have entered into a commercial relationship with a company that now reflects Google: obtuse, hard to get good info on, hard to contact a person, excessively corportate, etc. And the Adpocalyse was definitely the handwriting on the wall that YouTube will radically change the rules, whether from its own judgement or from outside changes. But like @Lisias said, YouTube just broadcasts content made by others. And it is really looking more and more that no one at YouTube cares about what all these abrupt changes are doing to YouTube's content creators. And that position will come back to bite YouTube.
  15. Good. Too much hype on that one, could run its own Hyperailroad Company. Yay! Perhaps it's need for a sort of...Italian job?
  16. Because the mod comes from one source (the upstream mod developer) and the metamodding of the values comes from another, @paul23. Which is why it handles upgrades of the mod better.
  17. It's sort of like building a castle in a swamp....
  18. Nice to see a test drive with traditional @Triop rollovers, 3 of them in fact. Guess with Bill being an engineer, he engineered it to get back on its wheels 3 times too.
  19. Eric Schmidt?!? "Don't be evil." must be for some other definition of evil, as he had a very poor attitude on user privacy.
  20. What I'm tired of is whenever I look at a KSP session in depth (which I haven't done in a while), I see a whole lot of faults happening. Are they critical? Do they screw up something in the game? Are they mangling things behind the scenes and will come back to bit me in the cheeks? Why aren't mod authors paying more attention to these and *fixing* them?!? As a coder and system administrator since ancient times, I hate when things get swept under the rug and ignored, because they always come back to haunt in some way. That's how so much of KSP modding has been done so far. And the Unity transitions (KSP 1.4, KSP 1.8) are just the situations that tear back the carpet and expose what's been ignored (and likely corrupting KSP games) for so long. So ModuleManager and MechJeb are going to test and as @Lisias puts it, see if there's Screaming Victims that aren't being noticed and try to find out what's wrong closer to the root causes. Because getting closer to those root causes and finding them and *fixing* them has been ignored far too much.
  21. That's not fair. With all the major changes between KSP 1.7.3 and 1.8, @sarbian decided to suss out when things were failing--in this case .dll's loading--and be explicit about pointing it out, rather than leave potential major faults to fester and later during a KSP session seriously cock things up.
