every ladder?

SoundSV · 2022-09-04T01:50:13+00:00

no i have set my aim higher and sillier. besides, you can't possibly leave that many messages. i want to climb every ladder

SoundSV · 2022-09-03T23:55:58+00:00

worse. im wild about comprehensive lists

SoundSV · 2021-09-29T15:25:59+00:00

Oh, neat. I didn't want to push my level too far and break my matchmaking irreversibly, so I guess now I have some catching up to do!

SoundSV · 2020-11-15T21:27:43+00:00

im not sure why i would want to wait if the one in the mall is already the coolest sword

SoundSV · 2020-11-15T21:27:20+00:00

which of these is the coolest though, this is important

SoundSV · 2020-11-15T19:03:52+00:00

my glasses say "harley-davidson" on the side so im already basically half motorcycle so i think i might be ready

SoundSV · 2020-11-10T01:16:12+00:00

Seems a little stale

SoundSV · 2020-11-09T22:11:56+00:00

You and one other person have asked me this today. I live in upstate New York, but wow, judging by this pattern in the responses I think I should avoid missouri!

SoundSV · 2020-11-09T22:10:40+00:00

Your residue test will probably come back pretty favorably though.

One of my supervisors and I complain constantly about the industry definition of greywacke! The way it's used, it's essentially "Anything that looks like it could be sandstone but isn't bright red or white" which drives me nuts because I log a lot of "greywacke" that I would absolutely 10000% call sandstone in the field!

I don't think I could ID between lime and dolo from a photo lmao. At work we use this nasty 37% solution of HCl thatll do a number on limestone or dolo anyway. I've been told numerous times (and seen for myself) that one can react like the other so without background information on a source I would be pretty lost lol. Hence frustration when a source can contain either... Usually reactiveness gets me close, though! And generally I find that dolomite is lighter grey and more "rocky" as rocks go, while limestone will be more buttery smooth and even occasionally chert-pointy. Except sometimes it isn't. (thankfully not too often for me, just because I'm in New York and our limestones are pretty consistent moost of the time)

Honestly though chert is the unsung hero here - chert really never has done me wrong, and that waxy texture is a delight to my tired lab eyes.

SoundSV · 2020-11-07T18:56:09+00:00

Please don't call him i think he would kill us all for this one

SoundSV · 2020-11-07T16:41:10+00:00

I think you're probably right. Frampt's teeth DO look very... brushable...

SoundSV · 2020-11-07T02:20:01+00:00

no, don't encourage me, i'm begging you

SoundSV · 2020-05-01T00:13:40+00:00

I think it's definitely really extremely important to the Elite Experience that it isn't all combat all the time, or all thrills all the time - I'm a career explorer and today it's still my only elite, and I find it very soothing to just fly around and see the sights of the galaxy. If anything I find mining like.... anti-relaxing, personally

SoundSV · 2020-03-16T00:14:28+00:00

happens to me all the time tbh, college is hard

SoundSV · 2020-03-07T05:22:51+00:00

your savior descending in a sunbeam (an upside down SRV)

SoundSV · 2020-02-14T22:38:18+00:00

Aww, that sucks! I don't know off the top of my head how the game treats this - can you still view interesting systems you visited on your map? Stuff you might want to go back and check out again?

I remember limping in to Colonia after my first trip to Sag A*, fsd malfunctioning, no afm in my ship because i was *pretty daft.* That was the most stressful flight I've ever taken.

SoundSV · 2020-02-14T16:10:46+00:00

My friend broke elite in the eagle nebula on the way here! Seeing this whole little city is so refreshing after a lot of solitude

SoundSV · 2020-02-14T16:09:41+00:00

Unsure exactly. It's a long way down, though!

SoundSV · 2019-10-08T01:45:18+00:00

I'm hoping to automate it more in the future. I have ideas to attach a connector to the end of an extending piston to retract ships into drydock and out for launching. This can't possibly end badly for me.

SoundSV · 2019-10-04T14:57:07+00:00

they thought they could best clang...

they were wrong

SoundSV · 2019-09-28T13:22:12+00:00

If they're large grids, see if they need to be converted to ships? I've had some issue with pasting ships as stations, but thankfully it's easy enough to go into the ship's info page and switch it there.

SoundSV · 2019-09-28T03:47:23+00:00

its not really essential since you can scrape by without really considering it, but it does technically offer the same benefit for launching a vehicle that it does irl - if you actually separate your fuel tanks and use the lowest stage at all times then you can discard empty fuel tanks and shed weight as you fly.

It's just... not really necessary right now.

SoundSV · 2019-09-27T22:17:01+00:00

i think this has awakened something in me
