    No idea. I'm going to wait for a GM to give us some clarification.

    My analysis of the situation is in the spoiler.

    The satisfactory alpha weekend. I've heard it best described as a cross between Factorio and Subnautica. Compared to Factorio, it's less focused on automating as fast as possible and more on the factory growing to meet the growing demands of the factory. Hand crafting is much more viable for quite a while since the machines are a lot slower and more expensive. But exploring is much more fun, since the world is more interesting, and there's some downtime between building the factory. Resources appear to be infinite, but the world is finite and not procedurally generated. In the future, it'll have a story. I'm probably going to buy it when it comes out in early access in a week or two.

    Are hamburgers sandwiches?

    despite being designed to fly, are delicate pieces of technology, and require specialized transport. (Trimming a speech outline down to about 4 pages, but saving everything I remove in case I change my mind.)

    That was already in there, just not very prominent. I rephrased it a bit so it's a little easier to see.

    @Jammer-TD Thanks for answering, and I added that info to the main post.

    Also consider CaliforniaTM, where sometimes the weather forgets to work and you just get a flat line: Fahrenheit, BTW. 14-10 C. WARNING: May result in considering this really cold, getting heatstroke while feeling mostly comfortable, and driving your car into a ditch because the road is covered in this wet stuff.

    Some of them are good, but I agree that the TED name lends them more credibility than they really have.

    My biggest problem with YouTube is that its suggestions and algorithm are predatory because they attempt to make you keep watching with no regard for your time or happiness. It also encourages clickbait and quickly, poorly, made videos. I don't think popularity on YouTube is caused by quality, but I am glad smaller channels are often able to support their creators somewhat, if only as a hobby. But it seems like they are more often supported by Patreon and sponsored videos, rather than ads. I suspect that ads are really only meant to make money for google.

    (I was doing research for school, but there was a clearly more important issue happening in the shower thoughts thread)

    I consider tacos a subset of burritos, which are separate from sandwiches thanks to both typical fillings and fact that tortillas do not rise like bread, even if tortillas themselves are a form of flatbread. The intersection of the bread type of burritos and the filling type of sandwiches is the wrap. The opposite (bread from sandwiches, filling from burritos) is a Torta. Conveniently, torta refers to a different kind of food in 13 separate languages, but I'm referring to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torta#Mexico See also the sandwich alignment chart:

    But how many football fields tall is the Falcon 9?

    If you're having terrible quality or choppy audio, try the NASA stream. 30s behind, but otherwise the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21X5lGlDOfg

    I believe they are, but they have covers on them. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=47095.msg1916268#msg1916268

    No SpaceX FM. Hosted by both SpaceX and NASA, it looks like, and 45 minutes of it too. I can't wait.
  22. Mad Rocket Scientist
    Well I guess I can retire now. A thread I started broke the forums.

    The new tutorial is quite a challenge. Note the extremely small area to build in, no underground belts, and 200 biters/min before even researching green science. I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't been warned. It's very effective at getting you to build big, fast.

    Did they do something since the Ares I about the SRB fragments melting parachutes? http://images.spaceref.com/news/2009/fratricide.report.pdf EDIT: Atlas V might have different SRBs, but I understood SLS SRBs to be virtually identical to Ares I ones.

    It looks like the nose is smoother this time, and possibly has a longer straight section.
