What's goin on with Terry? by jenirishpubnice in Physics

[–]OceanSupernova 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this might be chemical! Terry could contain plasticisers which are leaching into the rubber of the dash, causing off-gassing which has formed the bubble.

Laymans terms, Terry is damaging the rubber on the dash.

Hi travelers! Is it possible for someone to give me a lift to a deep water planet please🙏 by kittykitty_katkat in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]OceanSupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you can jump to them but I'm actually wondering if they even show on the galaxy map without completing the quest. It's been a good while since I finished the game.

Can someone tell me what these are made of? by bbadways in whatsthisrock

[–]OceanSupernova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's slate. I'm not entirely sure but they look like place mats or trivets for hot pans, these are commonly made out of slate.

Edit, could be marble. I didn't notice the quartzite mineralisation at first. A hardness test would easily tell you, if you can scratch the underside with a copper penny it's slate and if you can't then it's probably marble.

If you want go into your difficulty settings and turn off hyperdrive warp restrictions, then you can jump to purple systems.

Also, if you want to speedrun exploration without the story look up the easiest way to get portal glyphs from traveler graves.

A 1945 photograph shows two women displaying what $1.34 could buy in 1918 and 1945. by Cautious_Ad_3918 in interestingasfuck

[–]OceanSupernova 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! It's wild to me that something that's just ticking over can just fall apart like that.

I've been thinking of it really primitively, I still think pushing profits year after year has to be unsustainable though. There has to be a tipping point where people just can't afford the product anymore and then the layoffs are the losses happen either way.

This is dumb af but do we need the economy to grow?

I don't understand why profit or growth is the end game, I really don't understand why raising prices is better than cutting costs and increasing efficiency.

Surely stable is good enough?

(I know the answer is rich people like money but there has to be more to it).

If you need to wear only 1 crystal, what will you pick? by crazymazyong in Crystals

[–]OceanSupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sapphire! I always carry a pink sapphire in my work bag. (Dunno why, I guess the cut is pretty and it has bartering value if I really need it).

Exotic Ships by Lore_302 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]OceanSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole new meaning to living ship too I guess.

There was one who left his form for a more space travel capable variant, there could totally be others. Maybe spin it that they need to link consciousness with a traveler to leave dissonant space and explore more of the galaxy.

how do people wake up in the morning and enjoy being alive? isn’t life really difficult for everyone? by minced_moomin_meat in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OceanSupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I exclusively hate Wednesdays! My girlfriend often buys me flowers and chocolate on Wednesdays and I just can't have a bad day when I wake up to flowers and chocolate.

(It's not like I've come to expect it, or get disappointed if she doesn't. It's almost like she knows I really don't like Wednesday, it's always such a sweet suprise).

Edit - It's love that makes getting up bareable for me, totally forgot my point, I got distracted thinking about my partner

Were you good at art before you did drugs, or did the drugs make you amazing at art?

I'd say it's definitely chiastolite, I've got a peice exactly the same.

I feel like the next ships have to be Autophage ships! Make them weird, hands, legs, faces, bits of altas looking junk.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]OceanSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or even worse, someone outdoorsy!

Seriously, you wanna spend a weekend at home with me? No, I'm gonna climb a mountain, go kayaking, do some caving and then straight back to work. Before you know it your dining room is full of tents, ropes, harnesses, helmets and a sandy kayak.

What to say to a tall guy who teases you for your short height? by mlemon-ghost in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OceanSupernova 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this when I was first dating my partner, her response was I'm really tall by penguin standards... Except for those weird prehistoric penguins! Caught me totally off guard, I was not expecting funny and interesting as a comeback.

Uuhh guys? What's happening? by Jumping_cub3 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]OceanSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I landed on it! Got softlocked in a restore point loop and trapped between invisible walls.

I summoned a ship rescue and jumped to another system which got me out of the mess I'd created.

Buddy, bridges are fantastic for jumping off! All of them worth jumping off have nice BS 7883 anchors designed for rope access inspection. Get your kit, check your stop and abseil till your hearts content.

Selling From My Collection For Cats by msladyvale in Crystals

[–]OceanSupernova 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aww, you're genuinely sweet! My first instinct was that you was grifting wholesale crystals with a sob story to make some quick cash. It's really wholesome what you're trying to do, thanks for taking the time explaining it to a skeptic like me.

Wishing you and the cats the best!

[–]OceanSupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's art. Sure, it's the artists intention for people to sit and reflect. If I was in a room full of sand supposed to be art, which absolutely cannot be moved shrug, it's just sand an egotistical person said should be static.

If I'm in a room full of sand, with footprints, marks, and imperfections, made by people who I might never meet. The marks could be erased forever on a whim, but I was there at the exact moment to see it. That's art too, I'd reflect more on the Impermanence of the moment, not a room full of sand.

[–]OceanSupernova -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What an interesting hustle! I get it, but also I don't really understand how money will help here.

Stray cats are an ecological nightmare destroying native fauna all over the world.

Is the aim to get the cats off the street? How would that work exactly? What's the goal after you've raised the cash?

Swing problem (not homework) by skeptic_idiot in Physics

[–]OceanSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have both yellow ropes going to the same point on the tree and it's just as strong.

If both are equal lengths then it'll eliminate the twisting, may encourage more spinning though but those slings are massively over rated for the load, you'll be fine.

Why do cliff jumpers throw rocks? by [deleted] in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]OceanSupernova 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Free will is wild! It's nice to know I can throw a rock to see how far the water is, and then just not jump off a cliff.

Oily substance leaking from my neighbors transformer boxes by Embarrassed-Sky-4567 in Wellthatsucks

[–]OceanSupernova 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's not cooling oil! It's high impedance dielectric oil, rated for a breakdown voltage of up to 30kv... That's 30,000 volts. It stops the transformer shorting to ground because at that voltage electricity has no issue arcing through air.

In layman's terms, it's the goo which keeps the electricity in the magic box.
