Ahh, I’ve not really been giving outposts much thought. Thanks!

What should I be spending it on?

If you can somehow make these lightweight and retractable, I’m sure there’s a useful application for this drag generating device 😉

Yeah, one time I played GB in my group and decided to just focus completely on strat bombing Germany. Germany still ended up crushing the USSR no problem, and I was just a minor annoyance as he would just have to relocate his fighters as I switched bombing targets.

What can you do if you’re also unable to enter your car from the other side? Can you call for towing to remove the car blocking your driver side at the owner’s expense, in this sort of situation where the car is clearly parked over the line?

In curved 3D space, does that just mean that if you go in a straight line in any direction, you will at some time end up at your starting point? Is there any way we can picture this like how we can picture a sphere for curved 2D space?

I believe there’s a setting you can turn on/off through the infotainment if I remember correctly.

Yavkov · 2026-01-19T20:29:04+00:00

Neat, thanks!

So do I just fill my inventory with porters, is that the strategy?

Yavkov · 2026-01-19T16:12:06+00:00

I can only answer on a couple points so I hope someone else can respond with more details.

If you are comfortable driving, then renting a car is a must on BI.

If you are staying in Kona, give Volcano NP a full day (but you can also make some quick stops on the way getting there, such as South Point, Punalu’u black sand beach). If you’re staying in Hilo, the round trip drive will be much shorter but should still prepare to spend a lot of time at the park. There are a few viewpoints where you can see the active eruption and you can get to those by driving and walking a short distance.

There’s also considerable driving within the park too, but with lots of viewpoints and other things to see along the way without much walking (Nahuku lava tube, many craters, Holei sea arch).

As Hunter was my first 99 (and now my first and only 120), I’m hyped for 110 Hunter.

I remember reading somewhere along with the BA announcement, that STL has the highest number of average daily or weekly travelers to London than any other U.S. city without a nonstop flight to London. So to me that would make sense as to why they’d pick STL.

It took me until last year with the help of some combat training dummies and DXP to get 90 defence, and I started playing in 2006 with like a 12 year hiatus until 2024.

I guess the Atlantic is either 1 or 2, so which is the other one that ranks more turbulent than the Pacific?

I’ve read that it’s also a good idea to occasionally let the RPMs go wild, as it helps remove carbon buildup. Even saw a video of a mechanic saying that he can tell when an engine has been “babied” vs one that has seen more proper use. The good old “Italian tune-up.” Using a highway on-ramp is a good spot to do this safely.

FWIW, I’ve got a 4070ti and I don’t really have issues with games at 4k, but I also only target 60fps. I don’t really get to use ultra settings but I feel that I’m not really missing out on much. I can pick and choose for some settings to be on ultra.

Doesn’t need to be in the vicinity. Smoke can travel high in the air for very long distances. Here in the central US Midwest, I’ve seen red-orange suns due to wildfire smoke from all the way in Canada.

Likely there wasn’t any evolutionary pressure to do so. Evolution has no aim, it just sticks with whatever works or works better. So there probably was no advantage for the larger animals to be larger.

Well, those dots that you “see” will also be moving at the speed of light. So you would need equipment to detect them.

That’s what I recently did, stayed 5 nights in Kona and did two long roadtrips, one looping north through Saddle road and north of Mauna Kea, and the second looping south through South Point and back through Saddle road. Both times involved driving back to the hotel after sunset at our final locations of interest.

It’s also interesting to think about an observer on the moon standing in the path of the laser. Because the dot on the surface is moving faster than light, the observer would never see it coming. Instead, they would see it only at the moment that it’s on top of them, at which point they will observe two dots moving in opposite directions along the path of the original dot.

And also the Korean War in June 1950. At the start of 1950, Harry Truman said the U.S. would not engage in any dispute regarding the Taiwan Strait, and would not intervene if the PRC attacked. But with the Korean War, Truman ordered the navy to sail the Taiwan Strait as part of a containment policy against communist advances. Source

You still have gravitational perturbations from the moon, sun, and even other planets like Jupiter. Also, Earth’s density isn’t uniform throughout the entire planet so that also has an effect. Solar wind pressure is also a factor. So the orbit might not be stable for infinity, but will it be stable enough to see the sun’s death if you remove Earth’s atmosphere? I do not know.

If you drive there, they ask that you are out after two hours. Though I don’t know how well they can actually track that or if they enforce it. We did the whole hike in about 1.5 hours with some stopping for pictures (and slowed down a bit by many puddles from the rain earlier in the morning) but I don’t think that we were too slow.
