    How to rep "farm".

    There is this cool game called 'real life', if you get the $2 DLC, it comes with a ball. In this game you can gain alot of reputation by saving someones life and being productive, try it!

  3. It looks like there are more realistic designs on the Atomic Rockets website. It used to split in 2 pages but now its split into 4. Enjoy!

  7. Makes sense. The only true way to melt iron properly is to make a blast furnace, and to use this fuel called coke right? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke_(fuel) Im going to do a bit more research. I don't think its impossible to melt iron to make parts is impossible using materials from that time period.
  8. It took 3000 years for people to figure it out by themselves, but remember, im from the future and i know how to do it because i used to watch Primitive Technology before i traveled back in time. I can easily make charcoal this way, no modern technology required. And thus, melting Iron isn't going to be that hard.
  9. You don't have to see stuff happend to make it happend. You can simply make one stirling engine and the people do the rest of the revolutionizing. You don't need to build a big highly functional one either, you can just make a prototype engine so people know it works, and can improve the design. The only problem here is creating the actual engine, wich requires metal, but i don't think it will take me and my people over 50 years to make a few metal parts. *cough* astronomical events *cough*.
  10. I don't paint landscapes like he does. I think forests and mountians are cool and beautiful but also a bit overrated. One usefull thing i learned from him that you should never fill with single solid colors only. This makes the painting ugly and childish looking. People still at my school still manage to sneak this technique into their art exams and its sort of dissapointing. Instead, you shouldn't be afraid of mixing and adding extra layers on the canvas. You should also make individual strokes when painting everything that isn't the sky or water, people usually associate it with Vincent van Gogh and pointillism and throw in the bin, to continue painting like a child who has just discovered paint. This isn't the most common problem out there, but it still exist and it doesn't require years of experience to master.
  11. I change my profile picture very often, so if you are readimg this a few days or weeks in the future, you might get confused. My current profile picture is of my fictional space nation. Not getting into detail to respect 2.2b

  13. Im pretty sure a space colony of some sort would re-cycle most of their waste materials, in space, everything is precious. Organic matter, from feces to plastics will without a doubt be re-used. Waste chemicals from chemical plants would probably be stored for later recycling. And then we have waste gas, wich is either stored for later use, or released into the open to be stripped away by the sun. Even if people litter and leave stuff behind, there are no lifeforms that would care, expect the company owners that might be using that that surface for mining and resource extraction. If we drop plastic and waste chemicals in a mine or quarry, the material and minerals being extracted might contain impurities, wich is not what anyone wants. People won't drop chemicals into places with water, we use for consumption. The water is most likely in the form of ice, so it won't flow anywere else, wich is bassicly the main reason people pour chemicals in water on Earth, so it flows away. There is no good reason to do that in space, unless you want to mess up another colony's economy. Remember, in space, people live in confined spaces instead of in one common space that is the Earth's atmosphre, wich is a good thing, because if Colony A on the North Pole accidentally releases toxic chemicals in their living space, all the other colonies are pretty safe, if this happend on Earth, then everyone is affected. Pollution is alot different in space than on Earth. I do believe we should keep our hands of places like Europa, with possible subsurface oceans. Any place with safe (not the extremely salty stuff nothing can survive in) liquid water should not be used for resources. We need to keep the microbe rights activists (aka Planetary Protection Officers) happy, and preserve the microbes.
  14. The teacher ordered me to open the window but i couldn't. How do i not know how to open a darn window?
  15. It looks like they are getting better at the game!
  16. I will stop now
  17. Im going to take the next step and do more paintings, painting is more fun than drawing to be honest. You can't really make solid colors using a drawing tools and my digitalized drawings always end up looking like a bland mess.
  18. Indeed. BFR Earth to Earth and space colonization doesn't seem plausible if it can't handle a little bit of rain.
  19. Yes, sort of. Every long-lasting trend starts some kind of subculture, and so do memes. It has become more than posting funny pictures on the internet, there is alot more to it than just that. There is an entire 'meme economy' on reddit, have a read. https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/
  20. When everone realized it was going to rain, the entire school freaked out. On this rare occasion, school ended for everyone at the same time, increasing the chaos. We were out on 1:00PM (not AM luckily) Turns out, there was no rain at all untill 2:30PM. Nobody in our school, expect for very few exceptions lives further than 10km away from school and 1+ hour cycling distance most of us only have to cycle for 10-20 minutes, so the weather does not differ that drastically from person to person. I think they only looked at the weather in Amsterdam, and assumed It was the same in our region. And even then, the 'heavy' rain lasted for no more than 5 minutes, everything after that was just droplets. I don't get why people need to freak out when its going to rain. Heck, i even open my window in my room when its raining in summer, because that my only source of cool air. OH WAIT, NO DON'T DO THAT, YOU ARE GOING TO GET SICK! MY PARENTS USED TO TELL ME THAT COLD RAIN MAKES YOU SICK, AND I HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE IT BECAUSE I HAVE DONE NO RESEARCH! This is a complaint, a weather thing, and an interesting/funny thing that happend in my life today. I have no idea were to post this.
  21. I may not have a girlfriend, but i do have a girl-friend!
