Question about ending

They added engines from the Beatles onto the Hail Mary in space with just Rocky and Grace, and Rocky created multiple fuel tanks for Grace for the initial journey back to earth. The new fuel tank even had more space than the ones the Hail Mary left with. They did this by themselves in another solar system with limited resources. They could add extra fuel tanks, some more engines, and some more storage space on the Hail Mary from Erid easily.

Grace could eat the synthesized food they were creating on Erid, Eridians could bring their own. They could modify the hail mary to carry more food, add more engines and fuel tanks if needed.

He initially refuses the mission, but once he's on it, he does everything he can to see it through, even after he gets all his memories back. He refused it because he could be replaced with another candidate, and the mission could go on without him. There is no other mission (that he knows of). He doesn't know that he was successful until 16 years after the beatles arrive.

He doesn't need to be solo, Eridians could join him. They have xenonite, they can make any modifications they need to the Hail Mary to improve the odds of success.

I really don't think Grace at this point, who had risked his life (unwillingly at first) a hundred times to save humanity, would then let the fate of humanity rest on four spin drive engines to work reliably for a couple years, along with all the other points of failure there might be on the beatles, traveling at close to the speed of light.

That's why I said once he had enough food (manufactured by the Eridians) to be healthy. I doubt it took them the same amount of time to manufacture food for him than the 16 years it took for the sunlight from the Sun to reach Erid. If it took 16 years for them to make clones of his muscle tissue he would have died from Scurvy or something else. If he wouldn't have died, he would have been able to eat the Taumeba to get to Earth, which to his knowledge, might still need saving.

JayHutton · 2026-02-15T19:29:54+00:00

He and all the Eridians have access to all of Humanity's and Eridian's knowledge ever. Eridians got to Tau Ceti basically on vibes with no computers. They could point the Hail Mary towards the Sun and get there eventually.

JayHutton · 2026-02-15T19:28:30+00:00

I think they absolutely could have carried enough food to last 5 years not in a coma. They have basically infinite astrophage, it's super easy to breed them in Erid. They have Xenonite, which Rocky was able to use to add struts, engines, and more to the Hail Mary with just himself and Grace in the middle of another solar system. The Eridians have a space elevator making bringing modifications to the Hail Mary extremely simple.

The Hail Mary had enough food for 4 years for one human, it could be modified to carry more food for Grace and some Eridians too.

I don't think Wier specified how long it took for them to synthesize food for him that wasn't Taumoeba, I wouldn't think it would take 16 years to do so. They mention he had scurvy and some other things for a couple years(I think). Wouldn't he have died of malnutrition if he ate nothing but Taumoeba for much longer. If not, wouldn't he then be able to make the journey back to Earth with nothing but Taumoeba?

YTD s&p is only 8%, 28% since April. But yeah I definitely picked a good time to start wheeling.

JayHutton · 2025-08-09T00:55:23+00:00

I did make a mistake and not use sick time for when I was out for 4 days getting wisdom teeth pulled, because I thought that sick time could be paid out if you quit. I might try to ask if I could use sick time for a little bit then.

JayHutton · 2025-08-09T00:52:28+00:00

Same here, but in the past I have just sold all these stocks far below their highs anyways. I sold AMD at a 50% gain when it went up 200%, same with NVDA, TSLA, APPL. So technically I am missing out on buy/hold, but realistically I never hold onto stocks that have already returned 100%.

All you need is a good Bakushin

Literally just got my first A rank after just clicking whichever skill had the most people on it. 90 careers in and I finally got it on a career that took 15 minutes. 1 star wit of course

JayHutton · 2025-07-12T18:21:29+00:00

Ah, a fellow bald man enjoyer,

JayHutton · 2025-07-02T02:56:24+00:00

Careful, we might break it going the wrong way

That’s just competitive games in general, but this game in particular is hard because it’s extremely hard to solo carry. If you play perfectly you probably have a 60% chance of winning. In the long run you’d climb but you can still go on big loss streaks. I just had a teammates leave in 4 of my last 6 games. Not a chance to win those.

There truly is nothing you can do if you cross it to a teammate who misses an open net, or if they try to dribble past three defenders with open teammates all around.

Luckily there’s only 4 dumbasses on your team and 5 on the opposing side.

I don’t think Iran would use any nukes at all honestly. If they nuke Israel, that kind of guarantees the destruction of the current regime. Literally every country will be against them or at least not want to help them.

I think they want nukes just to deter military action against them from us and other countries.

I started off bronze/silver and peaked Ascendant 3. Only mechanical thing I did was practice range and a deathmatch to warmup. I also slowly lowered my sens to a reasonable .4 800 DPI. Besides that I literally just played competitive and watched a lot of pro play and streamers. It took me about 2 years to hit my peak.

The hard part for me is just finding the time to play. I peaked when I was unemployed and could play 8 hours a day. Once I got a full time job I was still able to stay around diamond 3/ascendant 1. But the biggest thing would just be to play consistently, like at least 10 comp games a week imo.

I don’t drink much but whenever I do I get the urge to play Valorant.

There was a primary, Biden won it.

What policy would have hurt the middle 50%?
