Actually - you will find out you don't really care. You will meet some people there you enjoy catching up with, see a few you used to like and others you did not... but when its over, you'll be left with something as meaningful as a conversation you once had with someone while waiting for an elevator. I'd say go - if you are interested. And it's convenient. However, if you think you'll run into a bunch of people from your old Church who will grief you or proselytize the whole time... just be ready for that.

Honestly, I look at the top of the new image you showed, and it looks a bit frosty. Could be a rocky / icy mix with some cryovolcanism in places... maybe?

The new pic doesn't look like a place for Ice & Cryovolcanoes...

Am disturbed it doesn't say "Pre Alpha" somewhere.

I know that's how things were done years ago (like around the time of Battlefield 1942 modding). Is that technique still used today?

"War starts with a blade, to take away the top layer of skin that has formed over the wart. Then, Radusky sprays it with liquid nitrogen and sends the patient home with a Band-Aid covering the area. Once a blister forms, Radusky’s patients are to soak their foot for 10 minutes in warm water, put salicylic acid on the wart, and bandage it again—not the soft part, but the sticky part, so that in the morning they can rip off as much skin and gunk as possible. Then, in three weeks—after yet more soaking, salicylic acid, and also some pumice-stone scrubbing—the patient comes back for another round of liquid nitrogen. And the process repeats" https://slate.com/technology/2022/10/plantar-wart-removal-treatment-research-patch.html (ugh... Forum doesn't like mobile!) Also - duct tape! Duct tape occlusion therapy was significantly more effective than cryotherapy for treatment of the common wart https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/203979

I went the professional route 3 times and it was totally ineffective. 2x with regular doc and 1x with a dermatologist. IMO they don't leave the thing in contact long enough. Getting the OTC kit allows you to make a deep freeze /burn that you can excise and acid to your own level of pain tolerance.

I condone this vague promise of hype. I will also be happy if we get a big feature announcement by the end of November... And some kind of launch date

That is cool! And in line with the tweet thread up topic. @sevenperforce - look at the size of the crater compared to the projectile!

I had a deep plantar on my foot. It took a while (months) with a scalpel, multiple freeze kits (where I ignored the instructions and went for broke) and copious amounts of salycilic acid...but eventually it went away. So praise the power of mind!

warts respond to hypnotherapy https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/490867 ...findings suggest that hypnosis has a general effect on host response to the causative virus.

NOW we're talking! That is US AF!

Needs an orange tank. Yeah, maybe with an orange tank, the two side boosters, and maybe flattening of the far side of the lander it could work

That looks exquisitely Kerbal. In fact, I've tried that exact build several times. Needs struts, and fins on the bottom and still can't get to orbit.

Now they're just getting lazy with the animations

Unfortunate alliteration with 'drops the load'

While it can be obvious that speaking to someone from another country (when neither of you speak the same language) will be difficult, I think we presume our gestures will be universally understood. This is far from the case. With all that humans do to communicate - its not surprising that in addition to speaking different verbal languages... we also, apparently, have different non-verbal languages. For instance, most Americans would not know what someone who is holding their hand out, palm down, with all 4 fingers curling repeatedly towards the person means. (Vaguely similar to the old, hold the hand out to kiss my fingers move... except the fingers are curling, together, repeatedly). Similarly, if I were driving in another country and wanted to let another driver turn in front of me, my extended hand, palm up and 4 fingers curing back towards me might get an unexpectedly unfriendly response! These are the same gesture, with the exception of the facing of the palm... and they mean wildly different things from place to place. 10 Common Hand Signs That Might Insult People Abroad (matadornetwork.com)

We can certainly do this in English with tones (e.g. sarcasm: 'Well, aren't YOU just a sweetheart?!?' he said dryly). I'm guessing this is something next level?

Laughing at this. I went to Bavaria (Bayern) where they don't speak Deutsch, they speak Bayrisch! They made so much fun of my horrid American-Hoch Deutsch accent that they made me learn Bayrisch pronunciation (including gutteral 'rolling' Rs). Turns out (now) that my German is the opposite problem you presented: I have perfect, practically native pronunciation and horrid grammar! I can read German just fine - but the minute I start to talk my words jumble out in the wrong order and tense. (Product of not studying very hard in the 3 years, and not being immersed in the language long enough!) This ends up being problematic for the German speakers who I meet - they wonder if I'm stupid, tetched or weird... Before landing on 'just can't speak German, let's speak English! @steve9728 I thought it was Cantonese that had more tonal variations. Do I have that backwards?

Wow - this is something I could get behind!

I had a relevant experience when I went to Germany - ostensibly to improve my German.* The folks I talked to in English had either Perfect American Midwest accents or Perfect Cambridge British accents. Not kidding. You'd start talking in English to a room full of Germans, and it would be like a convention of Americans and Brits who use odd phrases. Like "I need to go look for a parking." (In American English, you look for a 'parking spot'. 'Parking' is the verb describing what you do as you pull into the spot, or what your grandmother did with boys before she met your grandfather.) Their accents were so good I actually had to confirm they were native German speakers. *(This is funny, only if you understand that German kids who choose English as their second language, get like 10 years of instruction before they graduate... compared to my 3 years in HS/College... and that 'going to Germany to practice German = Germans talking to you in English THE WHOLE TIME. I had to go to the Czech Republic to learn to speak German. No joke.).

I'd like to solve this, Alex... Who are 'people likely to be canceled?'
