    I've seen you on Discord a bit, so I guess I should say Hi, and Welcome and stuff... so HI, and welcome and stuff.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    It does make sense. But for some people this is an affront to their world view. Like at Yellowstone National Park, people will park next to the big DO NOT FEED THE BEARS signs, feeding the bares. A park ranger once said it this way: "There is a big overlap between the smartest bears and the...

    2nm transistors

    The problem up to now has been the ability to control the transistor size. There have been successful laboratory tests of 1.2 and 1 nm, but we now think that is the basic limit of silicon. 1nm is only 20 silicon atoms wide, and it becomes difficult to create a transistor smaller than that -...

    Nyx system

    Space whale inner thought: "Hmm. If those pesky humans want my crusty barnacles, I'll just let 'em have them." Translation of that long grumble it made: "Just watch where the hell you shoot that laser you tiny little asshole, or I'll dump you off right here"

    Cool mobile medical

    The stasis pod shown close to the end of the video is in front of the beds... but I think that would make the thing a nightmare to steer without hitting the pod... or make for very wide turns. I dunno, it's just someone's idea...and I'm not sure what the advantage over flying ambulances is.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I have a question... Is it a common practice in the UK to aspirate an injection? That is stick the needle in, then before injecting they draw back just enough to see if it draws blood. Reason for asking, this kind of injection is meant to stay in muscle tissue, and not blood...where it can...

    It's based on the Ballista, which can be carried. So maybe?

    Cool mobile medical

    ALMOST makes me want something like that. But somehow medical game play doesn't sound quite as good as being a potential patient.

    Crap. I have good friends there. Fortunately for the family, the husband is an MD and frequently works in a hospital. Unfortunately for the husband, he's an MD and approaching mental and physical exhaustion.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    When I was 10, I had symptoms of hypoglycemia. It's usually a precursor to diabetes so they did a glucose stress test. They give you a drink of something that tasted like coke but was even more chock full of glucose, then half an hour later they suck out 10cc's of blood Then you sit for 30...

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I know a box it doesn't check... it's called "Amenities" like say... a toilet, or a porta potty or even a bucket. That last one also delivers a potential stealth mechanic if there's a ship following and someone aboard is a good shot with a slung bucket.

    Ship showdown predictions?

    I think the MSR is a shoe in, the C2, the Arrow, and the Prospector... just because it's the only ship currently able to earn a decent non-combat living.
