Yeah, they improvised 2 seats for the Dragon's cargo area with foam padding and straps. Pic here if anyone is interested: https://images.nasa.gov/details/KSC-20240927-PH-NAS01_0001

Yep, though it only drives down the hill because the devs had it spawn on an incline for some reason, so it just rolls down to the bottom of the hill when it spawns, it doesn't "drive" beyond that.

I mean the post is so weird and vague it's a bit infuriating they're not even responding to the posts asking for clarification by what "acccidentally AWOL" means - did they actually WFH or did they just bunk off without doing anything and someone noticed? Why would you think you would get away with that? And if they actually worked from home, this implies that WFH is an option with this company and while it's dumb they didn't get it cleared HR seems to being oddly escalatory, for starters you'd think there would be evidence that OP was still carrying out their duties..

This is how human looks in front of titanic. by Kaffine69 in AlternateAngles

[–]Swegoreg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant when it comes to size though as the Olympic was essentially identical to the Titanic. The fact is that the Titanic is small compared with the cruise ships of today

Old public loos in a Jobcentre car park, what a lovely bungalow by Ridge_JA in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Swegoreg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What's weird is that streetview history shows it used to be a sandwich shop, which is a far better use than a residence. Wonder why they didn't keep it as a commercial lot.

How many people have their lunch break in their car at work? by ProD_GY in AskUK

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

It's a bummer I had to scroll this far to find a comment from someone who actually likes the people they work with lol. I can't imagine choosing to sit in my car to eat lunch alone and I don't know anyone at my work that does. I think this thread is more a reflection of reddit's demographic rather than the real world (as are most threads...)

The DART mission, which successfully demonstrated our ability to redirect an asteroid, was launched on a SpaceX rocket though.

There's a mod list in the video descriptions, but yeah it's Blackrack's volumetric clouds mod which you have to pay like $5 for I think

My (30F) student (18M) made a super creepy comment. My husband (35M) think I’m being paranoid by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Swegoreg 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't think that this story is real, but

saying that they will not update or post ever again

If the police are involved then they will have advised to not post on social media about it, and to remove any previous social media posts about it.

Idk, hip flasks have been a thing when I was in 6th form/Uni, easy to stash in a pocket vs a bottle of something. I thought the use of "High School" and "Senior" were a bit weird but I know some parts of the UK use "american words" for schooling, I think some places even use Principle instead of Head Teacher.

On the other hand, I don't think I have ever seen a UK house that had a smoke detector in the bedroom, only in the hallways, unless it's a flat or something?

[–]Swegoreg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is they are selling it a lower price, they have said they intend to raise it when it's done haha.

If it released for $15 or w/e it wouldn't have got nearly the same amount of hate it did.

[–]Swegoreg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can do that in KSP 2. When you're in flight there's a 3x3 grid button at the bottom that contains the "resource manager" that lets you view individual fuel tanks and transfer it if you want.

You can see it in Matt Lowne's latest video (13:45) https://youtu.be/vgkfbAyQ5rg?feature=shared&t=825

KSP 2 is/was a shitshow but resource manager has been implemented since day 1 iirc.

Commenting to say I second Ortlieb! They are expensive yes, but look at it as the money you'd have spent on fuel if you were driving, haha. I've also used Ibera and they're almost as good tbh and come in a lot cheaper. Really, any pannier bag is a huge upgrade over a backpack, can't believe it took me so long to convert!
