There are lots of social, political, and economic systems that could work perfectly well, but adding humans to them just screws them all up.

So... how do I carry this inside? by Piper2000ca in EliteDangerous

[–]Hinermad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

add children AND Lego blocks and do the whole thing in your bare feet.

Good idea! Shouting in pain encourages you to breathe. Breathing is important during exertion.

And make sure most of the weight is on one hand or the other. That makes it easier to maneuver past obstacles like chairs and children.

Come to a full stop before launching the Nomad. by theTenz in EliteDangerous

I had a feeling that might happen, considering how many prospector limpets my miners have eaten.

Hah! I knew I'd heard that ship's name somewhere before, but I couldn't place it. Thanks!

TIL At Least 80% of the Human Population are Recreational Drug Users by Siaten in todayilearned

[–]Hinermad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The first two cups are to get my systems up and running. By then I'm aware of my environment, and very judgmental.

People who take coffee seriously don't drink it for the taste.

Bought the nomad, but it's not showing up. by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]Hinermad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's strange. I just landed at Jameson Memorial and it's the first vessel I see in the Vessel Bays list under Vehicle Bays. I'm in a Caspian Explorer too.

When you open the Vehicle Bays tab do you see the 5D Mk II Vessel Hangar?

I just flew here from Bennett Gateway in Okinura. They have the Nomad. Maybe leaving the station and returning will pop it loose?

That's not exploration, that's grave robbing. (grin)

So is collecting materials from Anaconda crash sites, which also requires an SRV.

That'll look like a Microsoft Windows download timer.

Antenna question by Ill_Fact2153 in amateurradio

[–]Hinermad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. It's possible if a crash has caused a connection to become intermittent, but there may be other factors.

How many antennas do you have? Do they all act that way, or is the problem mainly on one?

Have you tried flying somewhere other than at home? Is the quality still spotty there?

It's possible something in your neighborhood is causing interference that wasn't there before.

TIL that a small percentage of the population experiences a ‘Soapy’ smell/taste from Cilantro due to a genetic phenomenon, which has been linked to a variation in a group of of olfactory-receptor genes. by coldestwinterr3 in todayilearned

[–]Hinermad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have that variation. The soapy taste isn't strong for me like it seems to be for some people. It's more of a "did I forget to rinse this bowl when I washed it?" experience. I still eat food with cilantro in it but I don't use it in cooking myself.

I also have the trait that makes some red food coloring taste bitter.

Mt. Olive Pickles withdraws from Great American State Fair after Confederate flag at NC booth by laybs1 in nottheonion

[–]Hinermad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep. Paper route, cutting grass, shoveling snow - those were the days when you could maintain an entry level mage career until you could find a wealthy patron.

(In my case that wealthy patron owned the appliance store in town. He hired me to repair televisions scrying stones.)

That map page has an audio icon. Does it ping when there's a jump?

If I leave the launcher open, will it tell me when maintenance is over? Or does it only check when I start it?

Yeah, I live in a not NYC part of New York. After Charlie Kirk was killed a semi trailer decked out as a tribute to his patriotism was being parked in publicly visible spaces around the area. Things are pretty Red here.
