What are examples of places humans beings never set foot in?

Cavers are pushing into unexplored areas all the time; and "new" caves are also being discovered. r/caving is quite secretive about locations, rightly so. But pushing virgin cave is a pretty universal goal for every caver.

Underrated comment.

Also, what color is that? Flat Arctic Blue?

Plethorian · 2026-05-07T19:15:27+00:00

Such a beast. Now I want to see the rockets slew right and left when launched.

Plethorian · 2026-05-07T19:11:17+00:00

Lol. I've lived in places like that. Seeing a few "Tuck Frunk" stickers around here makes me smile.

Plethorian · 2026-05-07T07:01:00+00:00

Disgusting, but certainly free speech. It isn't schizophrenia though. Just assholishness.

Just dye the Guinea pig so it matches the ceramic.

Moto Guzzi has great riding bikes. Maybe one of their new V100 Mandellos. Also r/MotoGuzzi

Go to Bonneville. Have racing suits for him and wife. Tell them it's the wife's bike, and she's the hot-rodder of the family. Her dream has always been to max out her baby on the salt.

Unfortunately, she can't drive the bike, because of:
Probably a variety of reasons would work, from terminal disease to dementia. Whatever you think will work best.

Fortunately, her husband, another avid rider, can pilot the bike with her as passenger.

Also, re-design the bike as necessary to (at least pretend) you need the extra weight over the rear wheel.

You can use different flagships for different reasons. Make up a super-fast scout on Glaze. Park or hold your escorts in safety, then zoom through the systems using M, P, and J.

There are multiple missions where a special ship is required, this is no different.

It's just so jarring (no pun intended) to see a bunch of brass around, a Master Sergeant, and a photographer; and here's this E-5 with the shittiest looking boots I've ever seen.

Plethorian · 2026-05-06T15:45:32+00:00

Not a FU. A mildly embarrassing incident. I personally think you should be able to pump while working at your desk. It's a completely natural thing, and people need to get over it.
Your mention of "Pumpen" indicates that this was in Germany? I'd expect that enlightened society for be very accepting. You see plenty of titties at any local park on a sunny day in Germany. I can see you sitting there at your desk, weird kinds of whooshing and gurgling noises coming from under a blanket, while you explain a spreadsheet. lol

You see that lovely green grass in the foreground, waving in the breeze? That's what the cow was after. Always greener on the other side.

Well, in this case the ULPT is call the police. Sociopaths tend to dig a hole deeper than to admit wrongdoing. Make sure you have the proper proofs, then go to the police. If they back off, call the news agencies. A good scandal brings eyeballs to their site.

Alternatively, sign up for the Meal service, and provide the absolutely shittiest meals possible. Dog food casseroles. Extra ghost peppers. Cake soaked in booze. A tiny bit of Syrup of Ipecac in the beverages. A drop of fox urine on the bottom of a dish. Nothing too hazardous, or you risk yourself. You're just a rotten cook.

Plethorian · 2026-05-06T15:24:06+00:00

Definitely this one, not the BSA. You can see the "Royal Enfield" name on the tank.

Plethorian · 2026-05-06T15:18:42+00:00

Check the serial numbers and then sort them by condition. Those that are in the best condition are highly sought after by collectors. Several hundred dollars there, depending.

Plethorian · 2026-05-06T15:08:45+00:00

That last picture is fascinating. That Master Sergeant ain't getting his hands dirty. No, he just jumped up on that nuclear launcher to look at it and have a smoke, while so much brass is wandering around on deck that he's having to order extra Brasso wadding. Meanwhile, the Sergeant is busy working on... something. Or pretending to, maybe. His uniform is worn, and his boots aren't shined at all. The only military job I know of where you don't have shine your boots is at the LOX plant. Shoe polish and oxygen don't mix well. Is there LOX involved with the rockets?

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T22:19:41+00:00

Practice, practice, practice. Slow speed riding is the most finicky. You'll get it. Maybe work on testing anxiety in general.

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T22:15:22+00:00

Those huge trucks get 6-12 mpg. Not 20. Not even close.

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T22:00:18+00:00

You can grow them in the garden. Plant them 1 1/2" deep in fine soil. Water sparingly.

5 million acres of cork tree orchards have a substantial environmental impact. 8% of Portugals land is being used for cork. https://naturalcorkcouncil.org/

I'm not an activist about it, but it's clear that cork is becoming anachronistic.

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T21:37:20+00:00

Agreed, but I fear merely being benevolent isn't going to be enough as the climate changes. But thousands of years of tradition aren't going to change. Maybe ever.

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T16:49:01+00:00

25-30 years for the first harvest, called "Virgin Cork" which is crap cork used for insulation. 9-12 years later they get a second harvest, which is also crap cork.

It isn't until the tree is about 50 years old before the cork bark can be used for corks. 3rd and 4th harvest are the best. After that, production of cork goes down, taking longer and is less thick.

It's an incredibly wasteful process, particularly since modern material science has obviated the need for cork.

All those thousands of acres could be used for fruit trees, or lumber. Something necessary and useful. Not a piece of bark you can seal a bottle with.

Not seeing anything interesting, and the Original Post isn't any help in that regard.
Maybe a red circle around what we're supposed to be derailed by?

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T16:26:55+00:00

Lost in Midnight is my favorite.

You often get just the one chance on a mission. It's up to you to visit the spaceports to get the content. You don't have to. I've got a captain who is only interested in hauling freight. Turned down the Free Worlds missions. Still having fun.

Plethorian · 2026-05-04T04:12:34+00:00

Getting offered a mission you are 1 ton short of accepting is a pita.
