  1. Yes, we call him Chewie. Waiter! Don't you have Geiger counters on your tables?
  2. The quails have. https://scientificrussia.ru/articles/centrifuga-inkubator-48-aic-zacem-zemlanam-kosmiceskij-eksperiment-perepel Mir: 1990 - 4 quails 1992 - 6 quails 1999 - 37 quails Actually, there should be a farm module on ISS. Of course, they were having pathologies, but does it matter for food?
  3. It's launched 47 ya. The midget pilot on board is about 70 yo. Age matters. His reaction and coordination are not the same like in youth.
  4. Banned for inigiative zorrification.
  5. The non-free market is when the prices are dictated to you by other people from the administration, having their own market interests. The free market is when the prices are dictated to you by other people from the competitive market community, having their lobbists in the administration. Don't confuse them. Of course, the free market allows the parties to exchange the goods in any different ratio, to let them either pay more or get less.
  6. Mars is an ideal place for monasteries. Far from the wordly vanity. Requires collectivism, altruism, self-restraint. Can produce rare Martian wine (with faint trace of perchlorates in the aroma bouquet) and souvenirs from the Martian stones. Can host the tourists. Place there Olympus Basilica.
  7. An idea for the cat food PR. "Packed in bags with sound of scratching mouse, identical to the natural one."
  8. You should first update your PyGNOME and Gnomba setups to request the answer. Why is there no PyGNOMba?
  9. s1e1 Don't stand in front of the glass window and wait. Upd. And don't take the knife from the wound. Unless you are a Fallout character. Upd.2 Ghouls are aiming better than sentry turrets. Keep clean the ground around your house. Any junk can be used by somebody with junkthrower. When you send somebody to check the cave, don't stand in the passage, against the light. Maybe you are bothering a mutated bear, which is trying to pass by.
  10. I personally haven’t seen anthropological evidence supporting this notion. My understanding it that the idea that capitalism is the end all be all of civilization comes from philosophy rather than a scientific look at the history of the world. It’s still a theory, of course. As I said, I don’t think a collectivist utopia is the answer. That was wishful thinking on my part. The capitalism is effective while most of people can produce a value. Once the robots have devalued the human product, only a neglible part of humans will be able to produce the value, required by anybody. Then the capitalism will mutate into the antiutopia when 1% of people are producing the (mostly immaterial) value, while other 99% are living on welfare, and can't compete to each other due to absence of a valuable product for the competition. This makes the collectivism an inevitable way to withstand the 1%'s pressure and their attempt to physically eliminate those 99%, and thus survive. Also, collectivism doesn't mean absence of competition.
  11. A voodoo probe. You are trying the needles, and watching its reactions by telemetry. Much faster than light.
  12. They've flown. If flowers flow, is tree what's tred?
  13. Yes, the squirells now hunt iguanas. Waiter! Do you have fresh Andale pies?
  14. Floor 4718: A centrifuge with bees counting acceleration gs.
  15. Counting is cheating. Counting itself.
  16. Knowledge is power at least because twenty professors can carry twenty times greater cargo than one professor could.
  17. Being a newbie, and not reading the invisible signatures is cheating.
  18. In situ. (From "in + sit + you"). Doing something in situ = Doing something while sitting. Also see: in standu, in walku, in sleepu, in eatu, in caru, in busu.
