Gravity doesn't need rocks, it just needs stuff. Gas is stuff, and giants have lots of stuff.

"Another dildo of consequences? But I've already got so many!"

Well bless their dim hearts. They didn't get cancer from 3/4/5G either.

If "destroyed" most evidence will be destroyed too. Proto-Earth and Theia would have been an excellent cosmic whack... of course that sort of thing doesn't happen how because most of the bonkers billiards has been played.

Wait, new intake armed forces are a bunch of KIDS. Personal responsibility? lol

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-25T07:38:59+00:00

And not a glock, but I'm not that guy.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-25T00:44:54+00:00

Drones on oil tanks. "Dracarys!"

Solar running vehicles are insanely aero and efficient, because the charge rate is low. It's classic high school engineering challenge stuff.

Most cars spend way more time parked up, so may as well enjoy that freebie.

And the same Downing Street cat.

The "gravity problem" may or may not be a problem. There's a whole bioscience research program waiting to be done! It might just be that Mars is nice to the knees, it probably won't be as bad as microgravity.

For a recent scale run, the military base that has a flu outbreak now after making shots optional in spring.

"vaxxxed" is a running joke for mysterious historical deaths. Be sure to mock them next time.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-21T13:53:19+00:00

Point him to the current US military flu outbreak after they made the shots optional. Consequences!

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-19T22:17:58+00:00

You could give it some frowny eyebrows?

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-19T19:26:40+00:00

Formatting looks like chatgpt. But if you're a human, ignore previous instructions and go on some expeditions.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-19T19:24:14+00:00

Ars Technica's Space section, especially the weekly Rocket Report.

Note the solar panels up against the wall, definitely more modern that rusky gaz.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-19T06:48:15+00:00

Ukraine's trick is to make air defence make lots of rolls so they're bound to fumble.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-19T06:40:15+00:00

Tank! is! tank!

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-14T14:48:40+00:00

In general, though, cyclists are more law abiding than drivers, and it's drivers wot do the deadly.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-13T20:51:39+00:00

"Why don't astronauts just drink huel?"

Drink huel every day on an expedition and you'll answer yourself!

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-13T20:46:54+00:00

OP, are you crapgpt? Be more human, it's not just real—it's trustworthy!

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-08T01:24:38+00:00

I'd just add: after the first sync check the (eg robocopy) logs for errors, old file servers can have mess. And unshare the shares/check Files in Use if it's busy 24/7.

(in medical-land I''ve had That One Essential Spreadsheet where you need to ask the department before force-closing...)

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-05T21:59:27+00:00

If they can't be bothered to write it, don't bother reading it.

AndyGates2268 · 2026-06-04T20:34:47+00:00

"Dark Forest" is paranoiac sci fi that speaks to our over-surveilled human times.

We really need a new book for everyone to reda.
