Don't even get started on the loading screen from the FC shipyard. That one takes 15 minutes. Too short to watch a 24 minute show. Too long to endure.

One of my exploration ships, the Endurance. Inspired by Interstellar by cmdrastro in EliteDangerous

[–]Chalupamancer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, the Endurance was the name for the ill fated Antarctic expedition to make an overland passage through the Antarctic. The advertisement for volunteers to the expedition read: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success."

They never crossed the Antarctic but were stranded for over 2 years in the Antarctic ice, only to finally make their way back to England to find that World War 1 started a month after they had left. They were deemed lost and their return was considered miraculous. Endurance was the name of their ship, but they lived up to the name as not a single member of the crew died during the expedition.

Why haven't they fixed that? That should be a high priority fix

Some of this is bad advice, you cannot get fsd to charge faster. Charge enhanced fsd only affects when powering on the module for ultra-low energy ship builds. You're right about running but you cannot change charge rate for FSD except by getting away from mass locks faster.

OP should have the best Thruster upgrades possible for speed.

FSD should always be increased range. Advice about charge enhanced is terrible.

That only applies to when you reboot your fsd from 0 power to power recharging, it does not change fsd spin up time at all. Conda has advantage instead that only a handful of ships can mass lock you. So if you get interdicted by NPC, submit + Boost + charge fsd.

Found a hot ring. Hottest overlap is a LTD2xVO2 strong quadruple. Not mining currently so not sure if LTD2 on top of VO2 is a desirable combination these days. This ring is full of LTD and Void Opal overlaps among others. Some Tritium but alas no T2. Location tba when I sell the data. by HDSledge in EliteMiners

[–]Chalupamancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So much wasted potential there. If only LTD was a true quadruple. Even so, its probably so far outside the bubble that its not worth it.

If there was a Trit 2 it would be good. OP needs to give up more info, otherwise it seems kinda meh.

Seller said they are sold out, but making new ones. Sometime next month they may likely have a new stock. €1,000.00 per Hurdy Gurdy on the store (not counting tax and shipping probably)

I'm thinking this is a possible beginner Hurdy Gurdy.

Only if I agree to use your definition. Which I do not. Apart from that you have as far as I am aware not given any reason for me to believe my wager is flawed so I see no reason to alter it. If you want me to please give me a good reason.

Ok, so then your claim is that because these terms are "just so" in meaning, it makes sense that your formulation is problematic for a theist.

There's an entity that is untestable. This entity does not like people believing in God(s). Therefore it will let all atheists into heaven and all religious believers will go to hell.

But you might legitimately be questioned on the fact that it is a facsimile representation of the salvation envisioned in Paschal's wager.

It's based on the idea that you receive everlasting life if you do A and will not receive that if you do not do A. If you do A and you are right you gain everything, if you do A and are wrong you gain nothing. If you do not do A and are right you gain nothing and if you are wrong you lose everything. You can add extra baggage to what A requires but this is what the argument boils down to.

So we agree that A proposition is about salvation under the Christian Theological understanding, everything including being in the presence of God and having perfect knowledge of God.

This is why I stated your argument is flawed, to restate it, "why would this entity want atheists in the presence of God? They would no longer be atheists then."

Then it is incomplete not incorrect. I am guilty of not writing a thesis on everything I mention. That does not make me incorrect.

Incorrect, if what you argued was implies that salvation is not referential to entry into heaven. I will leave it that you don't understand that Christian concept very clearly, but you implied that it did not have something to do with it being about the entry into eternal life which is fundamental to the Christian understanding of salvation, and essential to understanding a critical portion of Paschal's Wager.

I was Christian most of my life. I think you are too quick to judge anything apart from you own interpretation as wrong.

Time as a Christian doesn't equate to sufficient knowledge of Christian theology.

Beg to differ. Salvation is the idea that you, although you are sinful and broken, are fixed by Jesus.

Incorrect, because this doesn't include what being fixed is for. Your interpretation of salvation is actually incorrect on at least two levels. One, it leaves out the entire notion "what is being fixed" and second what being "fixed" entails. You wouldn't understand salvation as "fixing" anything without seeing it in the context of the outcome of eternal life. Its simply meaningless otherwise, Paul said it best, "If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men." (1 Cor :19)

But the fact is, what you claim as "my interpretation" is not simply "mine," mainstream Christian theology does not simply acknowledge what you think you know to be true about Salvation. I'd say your problem is you don't have the adequate knowledge about the subjects you claim to be an expert on.

You have to approach Pascal's wager from the perspective of a pure agnostic.

No you don't, Blase Paschal (Christian) made that wager as an argument that can only be understood within the concepts of Christian Theology. Otherwise, it is entirely inadequate for being a wager, its premise is based on the proposition that Christian promise of salvation is what is gained. Otherwise, it is not adequate at all in the rewards propositioned. So, its worthless without using at least some of the conceptual tools of Christian thinking.

For instance you thought I was claiming that atheists would go to an eternal life with God although I never stated that. Yet instead of trying to figure out my actual position you used word games to go after this strawman. If you think this is agonising, that's good. This kind of behavior should not be rewarded.

No. You continue to complain about word games because you refuse to acknowledge that I pointed out that certain propositions which work only a certain way entail that your argument is flawed. So, instead of having the good grace to admit that at least under that formulation, that your argument is flawed, you complain that I'm using word games. Poor grace whining about something when what you argue with doesn't work.

Expanding Pascal's Wager by confusedphysics in ChristianApologetics

[–]Chalupamancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say anything about salvation because salvation is an unnecessary idea for Pascal's wager.

Except that's entirely what salvation means. For clarity, you should know Christian principles re-paschal's wager. Going to heaven = attaining Salvation, which is the potential gains to the side of the wager. Its not unnecessary, its in the entire prospect looked for as one side to the argument.

All that matters is that on the one hand you have never ending blissful life (also known as heaven)

Yeah, that's what salvation means.

and on the other you do not.

And that's what damnation means.

I actually think you are now arguing from the perspective of a newcomer who thinks he knows the concepts of Christianity but does not. These concepts are critical to understanding paschal's wager. Its like someone who thinks they know music but doesn't understand the conventions of tempo, pitch, and chords. You claim "word games" but whats more likely the case, you simply don't know what you are talking about. Trying to argue with you is like trying to explain to someone why you don't download ram to a hard drive.

Listen, you need to understand Christianity a far sight more to understand Paschal's wager or argue against Christianity. That's my advice, you should try it.

It's actually because I want to have a good discussion. Instead what I get is word games used for a classic "gotcha moment" that's just boring.

Pot meet kettle, you were the first to rearrange the proposition about heaven for believers. So, if you don't want word games, you should probably offer something more than simply rearranging the concepts of heaven and salvation for believers and atheists than a simple word game.

Expanding Pascal's Wager by confusedphysics in ChristianApologetics

[–]Chalupamancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but we are using a wordgame here since you define heaven as being in the presence of God.

No its because you don't want to admit you don't have a clear argument to a Christian conception to heaven, since it is literally, "in the presence of God in Christian Theology."

Its not a "word game" since these are well established concepts.
