  10. James Camerons Avatar is NOT a good movie. It is absolutely stunningly EPIC! Might explain why I own like 5 copies of it lol. I am looking forward to the sequels. I kinda understand how Dr Augustine may return, after all she did pass through the eye of Eywa but how is Quaritch supposed to return? It will be fun to see the Na’vi and the Omaticaya again as well as see the other Na’vi peoples. 082503302021

  16. i am so worn out.  3-26-21 marks 2 full weeks that my mother has been in assisted living. I am emotionally worn out. My dog is slowly adjusting to my mother not being in the house. my adjustment to it is coming slower. I have yet to come to complete terms with it. Everything they say about what a person feels when they move a loved one into assisted living is absolutely true. I cannot properly explain the amount of guilt <could I have done more? should I have done more? did putting her there mean I betrayed her?> or the grief that comes along with it. I said before and I mean it: cherish the little things you do with your loved ones. The time will come when you cannot do those things again. Go for a ride with them just because? Watch that silly movie you love to watch with them? Or just being able to hear them or hug them. Cherish it. Cherish it ALL.

      Its been rough. Its not been pleasant or easy. First my best friend died in august of 2020 then a few months later I had to deal with putting my mother into that home… the worst part was having to handle it all essentially alone. Sure my dad has done the heavy lifting in terms of the business side of my mothers stuff, but even 14 months later im still essentially alone. And still trying to wrap my head around any of it. Only 5 people (1 actual family member, my moms brother and 4 non family members) have bothered to keep tabs on me or ask how im doing.  I could go on but id rather not publicly be captain bring down lol. Appreciate the socially distant hug!

  17. -16(-1) fixed that for you lol 013203262021
  18. @FL-T400 i see your point on how you see the info but I stand firm that mechjeb should be stock. Will it be so in ksp? Doubt it. I hope they add it in ksp2. 005803242021
  19. @FL-T400 i share the same inexperience with both stock and infernal robotics as you. if this is the case, then why the popularity of Kerbal Operating System? The fact is if you have the skills with that, it can do much more than mechjeb can hope to do in terms of raw automation, yet people do not balk at it or argue against it. MechJeb is just as viable and requires far less technical knowhow to use and use effectively. Ok, as I am reading you you are against mechjeb for its informational readouts. If I am wrong please correct me and I will happily retract what I am about to say as it applies to you personally, but, I will leave the statement as it applies towards the fans of kerbal engineer redux. Ok that disclaimer out of the way, if you are against the additional information then what about KER and its informational readouts? Do you dislike them? What of those players who support it? I like Mechjeb because not only is it an autopilot but it has the informational readouts and saves me the effort of dealing with another mod. Win-Win for me lol. How can knowing your dV or TWR or any other bit of information be a bad thing? What about the stock informational readouts about your basic orbital information provided stock? Again, if I have misread your intention lemme know but, I would still like to pick your brain on these tidbits all the same 050303232021
  20. I got the chance to be an actual real hero monday evening!!! To explain I need to tell a little backstory. Most days of the week I tend to go to Chick Fil A for food, twice a day. On Sundays when they are closed and when my mother was living with me I would go get us italian, but, since I had to move her to an Assisted Living Facility over a week ago I have been going different places on Sunday for food as, I am still rather emotionally raw about it all and cannot handle going to the place I would get us our Sunday treat of italian food. SO, on Sunday I decided I wanted BBQ from a little place in the next town over, so, when i thought they still had an hour left of business <around 1911> I showed up to order some BBQ to go they were closed. I decided I would return the next day earlier in the evening, and that was yesterday. I showed up around 1830 to order food and yay they were open. I parked and noticed that the smoke house was smokier than usual, but, considering we had a bit of wind I paid no mind to it and went in to order. I place my order and went out to my car to be socially distant and after 25 minutes went back inside. I grabbed my food and went back out to my car. I should note I was parked maybe 40 feet MAX from the smokehouse. Anyway, I start walking to the car and looked into the smokehouse and saw naked flames. Seeing as during my wait for my food I saw people milling about behind me I figured someone from the store opened the pit to add more meat or wood and was ready to call it and get in the car. BUT, something just did NOT feel right, and I walked closer and looked into the smokehouse. Thats when I saw that the flames I saw was the pit and its surrounding structure actually BURNING, as in, on fire in a way other than to cook food. I ran into the store to tell them they needed to get someone outside as the smokehouse was starting to burn. One employee after about 10-15 seconds of processing what I had just said ran outside via a back door. By time I got outside he was already hosing the pit area down. After he got those flames out he opened the pit itself up and under normal circumstances seeing a few small flames as the wood burns slow is common, but, this time? The whole of the inside pit was rolling flames. It was incredible to see. Now, before I am asked let me answer some questions I am sure you want to ask: 1. I did not call 9-1-1 as the fire was still small enough that they had about 2-3 minutes before it was past the point that a garden hose could control it. This proved correct when the employee was able to douse the entire thing and bring the situation to a resolution. 2. No, I did not seek some kind of reward for my action, I just did what I did because it was the right thing to do. 3. This marks the third time they have had a fire there. First was about a decade ago or so that gutted the entire inside of the building, a few years later they lost the smokehouse to this exact sort of fire and had installed a camera to watch for this exact thing. This was the third time. The fire was still small enough that the smoke from it was hidden in the smoke coming from within the pit and on CCTV could have easily been mistaken for that. 4. I am fairly certain that had I not been there at that time and had they not been delayed by 30 minutes from being overly popular monday evening that they would have noticed the fire at a point where the towns Fire Station <oddly only like 2-3 blocks away, yup, small country town> would have been needed to stop the fire. SO, thats what happened to me that is interesting lol. 025203232021
  21. These should ABSOLUTELY be stock. Why? Mechjeb is an autopilot. Something we could all use no matter how much folks may argue against it, flying the same launch profile with the same payload multiple times can get tedious if not boring. Yeah, there are those who enjoy that, but, I have a feeling more people dislike it than not and automation would be nice. Like it or not the ages old argument of: "Well the real world space agencies use autopilot why cant we?" is still a valid argument. Also, speaking from personal experience here, if it was not for mechjeb I never would have learned how to perform a rendezvous or docking. Sure there are scads of tutorials on how to do it and I watched my fair share, but, they showed me how THEIR rockets flew and reacted. Mechjeb showed me how MINE flew. I am a kinesthetic learner and for me tutorials do not cut it. The fact we still do not have mechjeb stock is heart breaking to me. KIS/KAS is superior to the stock versions we have now. KIS provides way way more storage options than stock and takes up less in terms of parts counts to get a significant storage of parts compared to stock. KAS has more ways to build, and more parts to build WITH. OFC my own 2 cents. Mileage and results will vary, consult your manual Procedural Fairings should also be stock as they are superior in every way to stock. Why they like mechjeb were not made stock still puzzles me. I mean Proc Fairings are as far as I am concerned the gold standard of what fairings should be in this game and stock imho fall lightyears short. OFC my own 2 cents. Mileage and results will vary, consult your manual 023603232021
