  1. Two years of the hydrocarbon breakdance and high prices more, and: 1. "The improved climatic models let us be carefully optimistic about the global changes. The situation with carbon dioxide emission has stabilized, the expected ocean rising will not exceed one centimeter this century." 2. "The ecological activists insist that the humanity should use at least one ton of turf per every ton of coal to keep the powerplants matching the Ultra-Green rev. 3 standard. This week they are protesting against the usage of heavy oil products on the railroad instead of certified coke briquettes produced out of natural coal with sawdust."
  2. Only what the publisher wants plays a role. Publisher wants money. Money is not per hour, they are in total.
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll Another name of Bikini Atoll is Eschscholtz Atoll. E-schsch-o-ltz sounds and looks much better than just Bikini.
  4. It's ccold on the X-Ppeak, bbut you try to sppeak.
  5. F: Circus Tycoon Develop an extraKerbin circus with attractions, blackjack, and Kerbals. Deliver the tourists and milk their money.
  6. Thank you. So, if I get this right, there are colloquial nicknames, but not alternative official English names.
  7. Are there official native English names for constellations? Can't recall if have ever met them. Or in English only the Latin names are in use?
  8. In the XXII century the geocentric system will be prevailing again. Since early XXI the night sky was covered with myriads of bright moving points, like a moiré pattern. Everyone is aware that these are communication satellites of varopus global networks. But if you have a telescope, or phenomenally sharp eyes, you can see several thousand motionless sat-like bright points far away. People call them "stars" (after "Starlink", the first of the sat networks) and they believe that these "stars" are comsats of the very first generation. They have drifted away long ago and now they look standing at fixed positions, because their geocentric orbit is too high to discern their parallax. Some enthusiasts even have found the names of "constellations" in antique files on the very rare obsolete data servers. These names sound rather funny for us, usually they are named after the old rockets and capsules, like Centaur, Orion, Gemini, and so on. Also two new preposition will be in use: "insats" and "outsats", to describe if an object is situated between the satosphere and Earth surface, or outside the satosphere. The "satosphere" term itself will be used, too.
  9. Banned for the joke written on the wall of the Ice Age cave.
  10. Depends on the reference point of the coordinate system. If use "Universe and me" system, this is a problem. In the "Me and universe" you will just see the Universe slightly rotated around your position. Be The Observer.
  11. Thermite. It contains everything to burn in vacuum, and is 3 000 K hot.. Though, it's a solid powder, so either blow the powder and ignite it with laser, or launch an arrow with thermite inside, or catch the thing and apply a suppository.
  12. Your chipsoup is ready, sir. Fugu fish, please. And scuba gear to breath.
  13. Granted. But the Kodga we have may be not what you wish for. I wish for an air shovel to dig pits in air.
  14. Of course. It's a dystopia, after all. Waiter! This chickenburger is so old that you should rename it into henburger.
  15. Banned because a computer without Windows is like a house wiitout... erm... windows.
