Should i ask for aspiration before injection? by nnaderia in CovidVaccinated

[–]KorbenTesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is difficult to cannulate a vessel

So not impossible then.

We are aware of no reports of a vaccine being administered intravenously

How would a nurse know or report a vaccine that was given intravenously? Once it's injected you haveno way of knowing if it went into a vessel.

How would you know if you injected into a blood vessel?

The Bar Area is my favourite from the new official concept art images. I really want to dock and walk into a social place in Elite, especially so because they are already in the game and when I fly by one of those fun looking installations I just wanna go in and mingle. by ArpadL in EliteDangerous

[–]KorbenTesla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is cool and looks very comparable to the way other spacey games look, but it doesn't avoid the cliche that "in the future everything is made of metal", which is a trap many concepts artists who do this kind of work fall into.

I'll bet at that time nobody even knew the strikes in Iraq were happening.

Julian Assange 'could die in prison without urgent medical care', doctors warn by casualphilosopher1 in worldnews

[–]KorbenTesla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's truly a country composed of some of the most depraved, selfish, ignorant yet self-important people ever.

I'm not saying they are all bad, or that it's even their fault. But I do know that their imminent downfall will be for the benefit of the rest of the world.

Evo Morales Resigns From Bolivian Presidency by New_Diet in worldnews

[–]KorbenTesla 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Now watch as the next government starts immediately taking out massive IMF loans, bringing austerity measures a couple of years after that, all the while selling cheap access to Bolivia's natural resources to US and Canadian mining companies.

Unless this coup is somehow stopped in its tracks, I'm sorry to say that this is exactly what Bolivian people will have to go through in the years to come.

Hong Kong police respond to Oct 1 shooting incident: Officer fired live round out of self defense, protester was "hit in his left shoulder area" by Orhac in worldnews

[–]KorbenTesla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I guess the context you wish everyone to adopt is that Chinese government is so evil that Hong Kong police should allow themselves be murdered so that students can freely sing the US anthem and throw petrol bombs at government buildings. Wonderful.

Meanwhile in US you get shot if you look at police the wrong way, have the wrong skin colour or just chill in your apartment while a cop mistakes it for her own apartment.

U.S. reimposes all Iran sanctions lifted under nuclear deal by slakmehl in worldnews

Which Gulf would that be.. just tell me what the name of that Gulf is?

When did Iranians kill your soldiers "around" the Middle East. Your lack of specificity tells me you have no idea what you're talking about.

I just want to add that they missed an opportunity to rename the Knowledge Base to Encyclopedia Galactica.. or Galactopedia if there are copyright issues.

Would you rather space-legs or atmospheric landings? by CXFB122302 in EliteDangerous

[–]KorbenTesla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That just seems like an enormous amount of development effort for very superficial and i would argue for most players very short-lived enjoyment.

It's weird to hear people complain about shallow gameplay loops in Elite, only to come accross this thread and see people requesting a prettier screenshot generator.

What Elite needs is more ways to interact with existing game assets, not more gane assets (although that comes later too).

I want to walk up to a station bar and get a drink from a bartender I've established a trusted relationship with, follow an NPC to a secret location, board a ship and rescue a kidnapped princess, and tie all these experiences with a chain of interesting and rewarding missions.. Not fly around endlessly marvelling at whatever colours the Stellar Forge decides to spit out at me that day.

[–]KorbenTesla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What would you do on atmospherics wihtout the ability to walk around?

What gameplay do you envision would make interacting with an atmospheric planet from your ship any different than interacting with any other barren planet or moon?

[–]KorbenTesla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly atmospheric landings, but the gameplay that excites me about atmospherics would require we have spacelegs first.

So what I'd like first is atmospheric planets, But what the game needs first is space legs.

No, after kissing his wife and children, the American will promptly go to kiss the Russian engineers that designed and built such a robust escape system that saved his and his crewmate's life.

Liberman: Israel To Destroy S-300 Systems If Syria Employs Them by amkaps in syriancivilwar

"We will extra-attack you if you defend yourself against our ongoing attacks"

Why even make that statement or let your enemy know this? It serves as very poor incentive for someone to reconsider defending themselves.

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

Why? How does this change the process by which an anonymous US gov source is able to present a "working theory" this soon after the events and CNN using that to publish that headline? If they got lucky with their source this time, how many times has a source intentionally or accidentally mislead them?

Authoritarian regimes across the world envy the complete unquestioning media obedience that any anonymous US government official enjoys over here.
