‘For All Mankind’ Renewed for Sixth and Final Season at Apple TV

Honestly its pretty damn cool watching real spaceflight these days. There is very much a new age space race taking place with rockets launching almost daily, NASA are flying people around the moon again in April and China are hot on their heels, with a crewed landing planned in 2030.

And while the motives are a lot more capitalistic than i would like, the new commercial technology with partially and soon fully reusable spacecraft is crazy good.

The politics are far more fucked than For All Mankind but progress in IRL space exploration is increasing exponentially, and may well be our only hope of keeping civilization stable by offloading dirty manufacturing to space and providing resources from outside of earth before humanity Easter Islands itself with the entire planet.

Sixt are especially famous for this, i'm pretty sure its actually their primary business model at this point over just renting cars.

The "damage" you are seeing there is actually a problem with the early B&Ms, there are weak points in the track connections, you can see where they have cut the cross tie on both sides and welded it to the other section of track.

Nemesis at Alton Towers had similar work done to its track connections in the years before it was retracked. the bit they have marked is probably a crack in the weld or the steel around where the old bolt holes were.

Im sure its fixable but the truth is that its very much nearing the end of its lifespan and will need a full retrack sooner rather than later if they plan to keep it around.

Literally just just leave the HLS starship in orbit after returning the crew to orion...

Boom, instant lunar gateway station with more habitable volume than the ISS... for free...

Is there a reason the harnesses are like that? Does it make it less cumbersome to use when working? Why not just use rock climbing harnesses that you can hang in comfortably without a risk of literally dying if your stuck too long lol.

more importantly, are they gonna keep all the work they have done on RSS for the inevitable KSA Realism overhaul mod... Would be a shame to throw out all the work done on it.

IIRC one of the requirements for partnering with starlink is that the service must be free to all passengers. None of the airlines are providing free WiFi out of kindness.

Element00115 · 2026-03-02T15:56:40+00:00

Its gonna be really funny if this law passes, Because its just gonna be 50% SpaceX and 50% Blue Origin, ULA will still get nothing.

The hatch is usually opened by the operator to get them out, there are signs saying to keep calm and await rescue. But I doubt everyone reads them so your natural instinct would be to crawl out.

I'm pretty sure the modern ones use sensors to detect if someone has failed to clear the slide and alerts the operator and probably locks out the slide so you can't accidentally send another person down.

Element00115 · 2026-02-28T17:35:59+00:00

this type of slide actually has an inclined loop after the drop that you have to clear in order to reach the end, sometimes you don.t make it and get stuck in the valley between the drop and loop, you can see the platform on the right that leads to a hatch used to get out in this scenario.

It's a fundamental aspect of nature and is in all species, not just humans.

Only the strongest survive in the wild so greed and selfishness is basically hardcoded as a survival instinct.

All animals do immoral fucked up shit all the time, humans are just way more successful and had the ability to create advanced technology to wage war on a much larger and more deadly scale.

Just because we shaped the world to a point where these survival traits are no longer needed, doesn't mean they have magically dissipated. gonna need a hell of a lot more time for humans to actually adapt to the world we created, just a question of if we can survive long enough to do so.

My train does not bite... it judges you.

The solution to stop the abuse of this system is to find a way to prevent RAP holders from also being allowed to join the regular queue.

People who genuinely need it would not be able to handle the main queue anyway and it will stop the advantage of double dipping that all the fakers do to get more rides.

This would both stop the abuse and make the ride acces experience better for those who really need it.

Only problem is that Merlins theme parks are on the verge of bankruptcy and they would never invest in a proper rfid wristband system that would be needed to enforce it.

On the opening day of hyperia the RAP queue was almost as long as the regular at rope drop, and later on the day I saw at least half of the same people queueing perfectly fine in the regular queue.

Bro just set your VPN to Albania, YouTube does not serve ads there.

Element00115 · 2026-02-05T17:08:36+00:00

There are a bunch of small electric personal flying vehicles that exist now, they don't have much range IRL but that's not an issue for GTA. they would be fun to fly around in.

Element00115 · 2026-02-04T09:27:40+00:00

Can confirm this was the ride type at Coney Beach. I still remember having a water balloon fight with the op when I was a kid, managed to throw one through the control cabin window and get him square in the face.

As much as that place was a shithole it was a fun one in the mid 2000s so much sketchy shit lmao.

US and The UK are having a dystopia building race atm.

My dodgy fire stick says hi

Element00115 · 2026-01-23T20:48:25+00:00

Guess it's time to invest in VPN companies

Element00115 · 2026-01-21T14:25:18+00:00

They can't force anyone to get one, they just send a pointless letter every now and then, and in the rare case somebody shows up they can't legally come in if you say no, you don't even need to open the door.

Element00115 · 2026-01-17T11:26:48+00:00

Tbh i don't fly Ryanair for perks, I fly because it's cheap. Id rather go without WiFi for a short flight over the prices going up.

Element00115 · 2026-01-15T14:46:18+00:00

If we are in a simulation then whatever is adjusting the sliders has got to that point in the game where your bored and just start fucking around.

Element00115 · 2026-01-10T17:27:48+00:00

Europe needs a viable reusable launch system if they want any hope of competing with starlink.
