    TEST Pizza, Best Pizza (?)

    Faster. You're going to starve if you Agile that slow. I mean cook, not Agile. Mrs BobFace should put you to work over the weekend.

    Name your favorite Dog Fighter!

    That's a fun ship to fly, you have a bit of bite and a lot of missiles to add some spice, plus it has a good size for earning some money. One of my favorites.

    TEST Pizza, Best Pizza (?)

    I think that's a work of art! I especially like the number of black olives! FWIW Americans and many Canadians are partial to pineapple, but I don't like it (or bananas for that matter. weird effect) so replace the corn with pineapple to keep them happy, and give me lots of whatever side...

    TEST Squadron will be representing in Manchester Citizencon 2019

    This is interesting to me. I spent several years with groups that were involved with the re-creation of medieval technology as a hobby. Yes, that included peeing in a bucket so that a tanner could do their magic with leather. The saltpeter I also know about, but the technological era I was...

    Montoya explains staggered development in a way we can all understand

    That sounds like waffle pizza dough! It's really easy to make and really weird!

    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.

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    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.
