    TEST Squadron will be representing in Manchester Citizencon 2019

    Heh, lots of places had pay toilets. I don't know if you could have made any money, because generally you had to pay the money to get in. It was like a vending machine. Pay your quarter (later 4 quarters, or just a loonie in Canada), do your business then leave. You couldn't even tip...

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    Yes, the Bahama's have a good relationship with the US. Visa please. US and Canadian citizens do not need a passport to go there, but you do to come back if your route goes through the US - and citizens of the Bahamas need a passport and visa to come to the US, or a passport and a visa...

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    That is true. And there's another, more human created issue. They are not part of the USA like Hawaii, so even if they had the money to come here, they would still need a visa.

    Curious response. Where could they have evacuated to?

    My laptop has cracked

    I don't know about where to get Alienware parts, but you might be able to jury-rig something to hold the power together from some slightly used kid parts. Only one question... do you look forward to grandkids? It has some bearing.

    Quick question about motion sickness

    It's called computer visual syndrome, CVS for short and it's more common than you ever knew about. You can find a good explanation of why it happens and what to do if it starts happening to you through google. People are sometimes surprised by how many people have had symptoms and for how...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    @Lorddarthvik is pretty much correct here. The 2 teams working on two different versions of SC was an example, to demonstrate the change and explain it in a simplified way. They were not saying they have split the development team in two. And for what it's worth, don't get hung up on Agile...

    What’s the BEST Multi-Role Ship?

    It also has speed, virtually nothing can catch it. But it has a very small cargo capacity so I wouldn't bank on that for in-game income. You'll be doing missions for your bread and butter, but you could do missions in the Aurora for less than half the price... if you can stand flying that slow...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    I think you misunderstood, productivity is not the same as creativity. You cannot put creativity in a formula or box. You don't get the same creativity from 5 people in 6 months that you get from 10 people in 3 months or 100 people in 1 day or 10 years. That's not how creativity works. It...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    I wasn't going to say anything in this thread, but @Shadow Reaper has hit something square on here. Creativity can't be put in a box, or a schedule. It happens because people who are creative are always thinking somewhere in the grey matter. What you want to do to leverage that is inspire...

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    All good reasons. I mean it beats a few other things you could talk about, and people might find something useful or important in it. I pay attention to the NOAA reports, but it's more passing attention these days, until it's something that can affect me or friends. It's fascinating though.

    So far, the last one is my favorite.

    Please don't like my thread-campaign

    Well it would help if I had written the whole thought. I drink coffee, and abstain from alcohol but I do not identify as a teetotaler. My reasons are medical, not philosophical. And the not writing the whole thought is part of the medical issue.

    Please don't like my thread-campaign

    I am not one of those teetotalers, I drink coffee. But some might say my taste in music is just as bad. Or even worse.

    I don't know how this happened

    Happy anniversary! You've been pretty entertaining yourself.

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    I think Dorian needs to forget about Africa, and concentrate on getting out of the US too preferably with no drama. And maybe I didn't have enough corn dogs growing up, but to me it looks like North America has had thoughts of pissin on Cuba for millions of years.

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    That's an interesting way to look at it. I always thought... well. Florida looks a lot like something human male's use to pee. And what's it peeing on? Yeah.

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    People were a bit more prepared in a way. Not reliant on the electrical grid, frozen food, microwave ovens, and air conditioning. Those things started having a real impact in the 70's. But even before radio, you would have known a hurricane or tropical storm was in the region. You know...
