    Sleep well. I suspect you're going to need it when you get home.

    That's quite a vocabulary your cat has constructed, and you seem to have learned it well.

    Greetings From The Finger Lakes of New York

    Welcome to TEST. I used to live somewhat north and east of you, across the St. Lawrence, in that other place... but I worked a lot in New York, New Jersey, Michigan and of all places Des Moines Iowa. Then one day the Finger Lakes gave me the finger, and I had to move to Texas. Yeah I'm...

    Listen to @Bambooza ... He's right. Cats can be bigger assholes than kids are. Mine used to say "pet me" and then when I reached for him he'd attack me with 4 claws and teeth. Then lick the damage he caused and purr. Only to me. I was probably more entertaining than the kids. Dam cat.

    I used to refer to the kids that way. It beats trying to remember all their names, and it avoids what my father used to say... which usually included one of the pet's names instead of a kid. So from that perspective... there were a few.

    Are there any TEST Mountain Bikers out there?

    Yep, I think you got it. If you are using a monitor, you have references that tell your brain that your OK, like the side of the monitor or your desk, the wall etc. In VR the problem is all you can see is the graphic image - and there isn't really a way to turn off the sensitivity to movement...

    Eh... actually it was a Boeing 767 that ran out of fuel at around 12,000 meters (about 41,000 feet) and made an unpowered landing on a race track at Gimli Manitoba in Canada. Nobody got seriously hurt, 10 were taken to hospital with minor injuries. It scared the crap out of two kids who were...

    What were we talking about? Every time I try to remember, I get an image of the Gimli Glider.

    Are there any TEST Mountain Bikers out there?

    Those aren't necessarily must haves, at least not to the level that many games show - including SC. For example, if you sit down in a chair, then stand up. Now compare what you saw in real life with what you see in SC when you stand up in a ship. Something between 70-90% of the movement in...

    It looks to me like there are 3 units of measure involved in that fence. The only people I know of that were that confused in the area live just to the north of the US.

    Are there any TEST Mountain Bikers out there?

    I need it to run on a monitor rather than in a VR headset, though I tried a Oculus Rift and a HTC Vive. Artificially created 3d is disorienting to me. I just turn my PC monitor and watch youtube or something from my PC, it's enough and it gives me something to do rather than "a drink and a...

    That has a nice ring. Question... Does that make the leader the TSAR Tsar?

    Are there any TEST Mountain Bikers out there?

    I used to ride in summer to train for skiing in Winter. Both were a lot of fun. I'm kind of jealous, because I would love to take a ride like we used to again. It's not in the cards unless I ride an exercise bike and watch landscape videos nowadays.

    Roadmap Roundup - January 24th, 2020 - Highlights

    Here. Compass (OR some other directional indication. ) Humans have been using compasses for navigation since the 11th century. We can use other things like gyroscopes if there's no magnetic field. It's not even hard. I have more...

    3.8.1 is live! Get to discord and bask in the glory of medical beds

    You just have to wipe it with a paper towel before sticking it in your arse, just in case you had shit in your mouth.

    Hi!

    Welcome to TEST! You're going to want a smaller ship to start with for sure. The Endeavour is going to be a lofty goal, but getting there is going be fun. Good luck! In the meantime, we have "a few" that will be looking for crew and pilots once the thing gets into the game. Make friends!
