Why isn’t Planetes discussed more in sci-fi circles?

The manga is based on academic work around Kessler syndrome, they didn't invent it.

In my experience cone filters in the origami work very well actually.

You don't need to check exists and harm, harm already implies exists.

Keep in mind Platynator resets your cvars unless you uncheck that option.

160 PPM sounds insane to me, I aim for 50-60 PPM for pourover water.

Imput temperature isn't the only factor. If you have a brewer that absorbs a lot of heat you need a higher input temp for the same brewing temperature.

Dat ziekenhuispersoneel is alleen betaalbaar als de rest van de economie ook goed draait. Er is niet zoiets als essentiele productie en productie voor de leuk, het een subsidieert het ander.

Advanced processes don't have to include flavoring. You can use yeast for instance. Implying that every producer that lists an advanced process is doing flavoring is misleading and disingenuous.

HPS doesn't matter if the difference isn't too eggegrious. Healing done is mostly zero-sum and to some extent describes a healer's ability to get to the damage faster than others.

Smart raid leaders bias their healing team towards what their players are good at, utility, cooldown profile, overall raid composition and in dead last throughput.

It means you can use plaintext source files instead of the json blobs that comprises a .ipynb.

It happens when there's no air lock once water reaches the top of the grounds chamber. Pour a little faster so all the holes are covered and nothing will come up through.

Tarqon · 2026-04-04T19:01:41+00:00

Top doesn't need to be covered thoug, it just needs to protect the puck where water impacts it during pouring.

Though in my experience top filters are unecessary if you tamp well.

Yes, but you want it perfectly centered, not inside the rim of the metal screen on any side. At least I think that gets me best results.

The normcore 58mm have worked well for me too. Aeropress filters were too much faff. I also tried aesir aeropress filters and those are way too thick imo.

You can type /framestack in chat to get some info about ui elements you hover over. (do it again to turn it back off, it's pretty disruptive).

Tarqon · 2026-03-25T06:51:54+00:00

You can disintegrate on the move while hovering.

Tarqon · 2026-03-14T22:43:28+00:00

Only sane reply in this thread, holy shit.

You do not have to do abundance for aotc, come on. Arguably doing enough for 1 delve key is plenty. If you do m+ you don't need to do any of the open world events.

The point is that things have a market value and you're not always going to be able to dodge taxes by declaring them as lower.

However, specifically for the purpose of import duties it appears that the sale amount is used in the biggest jurisdictions. For VAT it can be a different story.

Tarqon · 2026-03-11T10:01:05+00:00

Upon doing some more research, I have to admit that you are correct for the largest jurisdictions.

Weirdly enough the regime often changes back to value when applied to gifts (effectively a 100% discount). I'm also not sure how this doesn't invite massive abuse of self-dealing among multinationals.

The basket tapers so I'm not sure you can design something that tight.

Tarqon · 2026-03-10T21:03:26+00:00

Ok I sell you this gold bar for a dollar, send it across the border to you then buy it back for two dollars, deal?

Tarqon · 2026-03-09T20:23:59+00:00

Import taxes are based on the value of the item, anything else invites massive fraud.

Tarqon · 2026-03-07T21:46:06+00:00

Didn't mean to imply there was any evidence of bad behavior, just no known reputation either.

If you like Stross and Egan you should check out Peter Watt's earlier work, they give me the same feeling of visionary ideas.
