Granted. They test some cell nuclei SCP effects on you. I wish for 110-Montauk description.
-
You can be sure that there's no SCP foundation or GOC members in this restaurant. It's absolutely safe here. "garçon" (literally "boy") = "waiter" in French. Waiter! Have you checked the tea cups for magic?
-
Oberth maneuver in Sgr A* close proximity.
-
Our cook is bald. Probably, he shaves in the kitchen. Waiter! Are you the garçon? If you are a son of gar, where are your fins and gills?
-
One sentence you could say to annoy an entire fan base?
kerbiloid replied to Fr8monkey's topic in Forum Games!
It has neither frames, nor top lights, it's just an urban pick-up. -
Because it's shipped in the capital city. Bartender! Why are all these cranes attached to the same barrel?

Which Energy Collecting Satelite Is Easier To Mass Produce?

Such dense waste heat will vaporize everything. -

What if Neptune was happily orbiting its legal Titius-Bode orbit (now belongs to Pluto), and both Triton and Pluton were its moons. Then something heavy threw away Neptune together with some moons, while Pluto stayed placeholding Neptune. Say, a fast blackhole passed nearby. I did similar things in the Universe Sandbox.

When a tax inspector says "Fine!", what does he mean?
-
Oops. Probably we haven't washed the plate after SCP-049 Plague Doctor was eating from it. Waiter! Why does this alphabet soup have only 3 letters: C, P, S?
-
Granted. You get a temporary O5 account, as the 110-Montauk procedure needs to sacrifice one. I wish I wasn't confusing Wish and Q&A threads.
-
The more things you have to redo in a game, the more it's not dead. For example, look at Half-Life 3. Still eternally alive.
-
Granted. You see the tentacles sticking out from the pool and waving. (was ninja'd) Granted. It happened. But you don't find it funny. Why are the late Feuerschwanz albums affected by Rammstein, while Faun ones aren't?
-
[The dark spot on the wall disappears]. Waiter! The Kerbals need nothing from you!
-
Granted. The mod automatically saves your RAM by deleting the crafts. I wish for the /noclip mode irl.

Two South-American deities of names unknown to profanes, had incarnated in human bodies in Brasil, and became cultural heroes known as Falanghe Brothers. They were sacrifying little green gnomes by tying them to small toy rockets and bringing them up to the skies. But the rockets were small, the rockets with envoys weren't reaching the skies, were falling back. The Brothers were sad for that, then one of them, known as Felipe, decided to travel to the North, to the place where the ancient and more powerful gods had built pyramids, and try to call for their assistance and summon their power. He reached the greatest Aztec sanctuary and learned the mysterious magic of Unity of the worlds. He was drawing pictures and writing letters, and the miracles were happening. The painted creatures were moving, the painted rockets were flying, it was like a small hand-made world similar to the real one. He came to the place named Squad where people were making pictures, musics, and other arts, and exchanging them for food, and suggested to implement a whole small world. This would allow them to negotiate more food, and at the same time would allow to send the rockets with envoys much higher, and maybe even reach the sky, the Sun, and talk to those who live there. The idea of sending somebody to Quetzalcoatl by putting him on a stock of fuel and igniting it, was basically known and clear to them, and the profit was also looking promising, so the great work immediately began. So, they made a dream world, which exists and not exists at once. To populate the world and send somebody as envoys, they created gnomes of some kind, with big heads of human size, popped eyes, and small bodies and limbs, silly but fearless and absolutely obedient, doing exactly what the master says. (Don't ask about their origin, the jungle magic has many secrets. But obviously, they have human eyes, teeth, tongue, hair, and head size. So, they are obviously not plants or mushrooms.) To rule them, they created a mysterious Kraken, who is a hound of heaven for them. Also, some say that Kraken also spawns the Kerbal eggs into the sea, where they born and crawl out to the land. They built a sanctuary known as KSC, the Kerbal Sacred Castle or so. Most part of it is undestructable and gets self-repaired even when crashed. Now 5 million of people are sending the Kerbal envoys up to the skies, some of them even reach their Sun, and all of that gives a hope that the plan will be fulfilled. After seeing that the plan works and doesn't need his assistance to live, Felipe also known as The Harvester, leaved it to make birds from balsa. Later, the people tried to move the doing to the North, to the place known today as Seattle. Will it succeed or no, we'll see in its time.

An old-tradition, experienced ninja. The proper way to deal with them. Don't forget that you are just renting the rights to play game, so any overseeing can be legally used to disable, restrict, or update the software in undesired way. Less overseers, more oxygen. In KSP-1 I first of all delete all steam*.* files and the launcher.

The problem is that the "full price" is not the "total cost of ownership", which includes also the cost of hardware upgrade for the game of KSP 0.21 + Parallax functionality which is happily running on existing potatoes. When a user has to pay "200" USD to upgrade, the difference between 50 and 10 game price doesn't play a role. They can even make it free, the upgrade will still be a game stopper for significant part of potential customers. While the game is not an AAA-shooter, and the system requirements of KSP-1 were realistic.

Why have to explain it in this context? The Venusian orbit doesn't cross the terrestrial one, while the Proto-Moon / Teia was occupying exactly same orbit, just with 60° offset. Then what is "to clear the orbit"? Let'em all keep orbiting in happy resonance with each other, as they can do it for ages, and consider them all as "planets". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_of_the_Solar_System#Neptune–Pluto_resonance They say, the Neptune-Pluto resonant system is short-term stable, but is not predictable in long-term case. As the Neptune-Pluto orbits are ~35 AU, and the Earth-(Proto-Moon/Teia) are 1 AU, thus their orbital paths are 35:1 and their orbital speeds are sqrt(1):sqrt(35) ~= 1:6, so the number of their revolutions is ~200:1 per same time interval. This means that the same number of close approaches which Neptune-Pluto had for last 4 000 mln years, the Earth-(Proto-Moon/Teia) had faced in their first 20 mln years. This makes to think that the N-P system is no more stable that the Earth-Proto-Moon was, just is moving slower. Briefly: the N-P system is more stable in sense of absolute time, but not in sense of orbital revolution count. Thus, Neptune can't be considered as "having cleared its orbit". I don't say that Pluto is. I say, that Neptune isn't. Thus, according to the IAU definition, now we have not 8 but 7 planes, while both Pluto and Neptune are dwarf planets. I refer to myself in the 3rd person to continue the @NFUN's phrase from the pov of a 3rd party observer. I'm talking about the Moon mother body, which some refer to as "Teia". (Though I find this naming disgusting and morally rotten, as a totally unfair emotional manipulation in form of personification of the object of study, to make others treat it as emotionally familiar and take the authors' theory by default. The older term "Proto-Moon" is much more neutral and fine, but not everybody understands what's that). I mean that the Proto-Moon (which ihad presumably formed at some of Lagrange points) was occupying a resonant orbit, and then approached too close. Thus, a currently existing resonance doesn't mean that the orbit is "cleared", whatever IAU means by this word, as they didn't bother to explain.

Granted. KSP and Minecraft get merged, so now not the rockets blast Kerbals, but the Kreepers blast rockets. I wish to find out the most complete and balanced combination of Minetest mods.

Earth was also thinking so, before something big hit the fan, after drifting from the Lagrange point where it was in 1:1 resonance. No resonance can be stable forever, and also to become resonant, their orbits originally had to be not resonant. Sooner or later either rounding error or Sun expansion (and mass loss) will bring Pluto a little cloer to Neptune, and there will be no resonance between them, only fear and loathing. The "clear orbit" criterion has no concrete limit value. He's just looking at the Moon above. Some time ago it was floating at Lagrange point, which is even more hardcore resonant due to the Sun gravity.
