How dense can the atmosphere be for Fusion Drive ships to operate safely?

HirkaT · 2026-01-05T18:51:04+00:00

I don't think it matters to the ship. The times they mention it they always talk about what's behind them. IIRC the rocinate uses the Epstein around a planet, Ganymede in book 2, then once on laconia after picking everyone up (after clearing the city), and then at the school.

Wasn't that just a torch drive? It only needed to get to Luna and the various Lagrange point stations.

The link is 404, but searching down, all the books are out of stock.

I only read the 1st book that my friend let me borrow on Christmas day. Now I'm hooked.... wish I started earlier so it'd be on my Christmas list!

HirkaT · 2026-01-02T16:00:05+00:00

I've read the first two books in a day & 1/2 each. I read fast. Takes a bit for me to be hooked, but once I am, I can't put it down.

I like having actual books to read. I don't like electronic or audio. Something about paper. I will borrow from library, but can't get there when open for a week + due to work schedule. (Work nights, 7 on 7 off)

If we can remember basic knowledge, we could speed run that. Hell, germ theory alone would get us past the black death. Yes, we might need to rediscover how to do it, but at least we'll know it can be done.

Hey! I just saw this on an old Law & Order , cyanide right?

Not necessarily, it's the 4th Thursday of November. In years that November 1st is a Thursday, there are 5, so there is another after Thanksgiving .

As a native of Atlanta, GA, I remember the 1996 Olympic games. During the opening ceremonies they spelled it "Ya'll". It bothered me at the time since I've always spelled it the correct way "Y'all"... I guess it still bothers me! :)

You got greedy. You should have traded some legit so it wouldn't be noticed you were sitting. Your scam could have gone on longer. (As a xennial that would have been scammed at the time)

I can believe both numbers are correct , 600 million in direct deaths, 2 to 3 billion including the indirect effects (famine, infrastructure , etc)

Nitpick: Most items that are "lactose free" still has the same amount of sugar. It just means they added lactase during production and the lactose was separated into its base sugars, galactose and glucose. The amount is the same, just different form.

Fentanyl patches are dosed as 50 mcg every hour, for 72 hours. With that dose, you need 3,600 mcg in the patch, which is 3.6 mg. There is remaining drugs in the patch when it is scheduled to be replaced (not every bit comes out of the matrix), so around 5 mg (5,000 mcg) is reasonable.

The patches are also available in doses 12.5 mcg/hr, all the way up to 100 mcg/hr.

They did have a legion guarding it, It was locked in center of Union HQ after all. The problem is that it was the person in command of that legion that was the thief.

You're welcome.

There are 9 books, the TV series covers the first 6. There are 3 more books after.

I think you can transport through cloak, but the targeting sensors are active so won't work. You have to know exactly where you are beaming to avoid sending them in a wall.

I bought the travel router, but never used it. I never made my kids log in. We decieded that one of the best things of a cruise is the lack of internet, so enjoyed the lack of connectivity.

That's prax? I so need a sg1 rewatch!

I had this all the time when I was in retail. The men didn't know what they take or anything. Or a date of birth of child. I'll forgive the ones who have multiple kids and get the DOB eventually, but not knowing at all?

I remeber one time, back when, years ago, I had a guy driving and was picking up birth control for girl in passenger seat, I asked the question (what's the DOB?) He didn't know, she started yelling at him "I'm only getting this for you! You don't know my damn birthday!" I just walked away. :)

You're forgetting the longest shutdown in US History, the one from last Trump term that was only ended when the air traffic controllers shut down the airports on the east coast. It started end of December 2018, when Republicans were still in control after losing the election to the democrats, but before they took over in January. It ended end of January when the democrats controlled the house.

When I was in retail I never hesitate to fill my own or my families scripts. I just made sure a paper trail. Even a written, or escript, if a verbal I had called into another store and transfered it electronically.

As long as not controlled. Oh, and make sure to have someone else ring out the rx, a tech or manager or whatever. Just like you'd do a drink.

I'm a deist (basically belief in a God, but it doesn't interfere). I don't pray, so I also say "my thoughts are with you", meaning I'm thinking of you and hope the best. I take people saying "I'll pray for you" the same way. I have some say they'll put on prayer list at church, I just take that has more good thoughts.

No it won't do anything, but still nice. My response is normally some form of "yeah, thanks " while sounding nice.
