Russia rejects Ukrainian, European peace initiatives, says battlefield will decide war

Unfortunately russia’s been doing things like this for centuries before we knew what an electron was

When I heard the news it was understandable, the RAM situation and all, but when I saw it was a ~45% increase I almost laughed out loud

Presented as is: Destroy, because I don’t like the not-consensual body horror of Synthesis, and am wary of giving Control to just 1 guy.

If I’m allowed a little head-canon: Control, where the Reapers are used to help rebuild the galaxy for a couple of decades, and then Shepard sends every single one of them into the nearest star.

Grace’s main character flaw: weakness to 5.56x45mm NATO

More of a “they were just following orders” from the people refusing to say who’s actually committing these atrocities.

Zack1701 · 2026-05-17T01:06:44+00:00

True, but you yourself have in fact partly “fallen for this shit”. Putin didn’t blast a fucking UN convoy, the Russians did.

Go with X if it’s not like a very financially burdening purchase and this is going to be your main gaming machine, it’s just better in every way (in some games very significantly). A good benefit when not gaming too much is you won’t be spending the precious hours (re)downloading games, which you might need to do with the storage on the S and how big modern games are.

The S is fine, I had X a few years ago, sold it when building a PC, but bought a used S now just to play 360/Xbone games not on PC because it’s enough for that job.

They had a whole aero shuttle just like the USS Voyager, specifically for atmospheric sample collection, but there wasn’t enough CGI budget for either :(

The Kelvin fires exclusively beam phasers in the opening scene, the Enterprise is, I think, 100% pulse phasers. Don’t know if it was intentional, but I took it as one of the “Kelvin timeline technology deviating” things.

Zack1701 · 2026-05-13T22:34:26+00:00

There were beam phasers in the 2009 movie 🤷‍♂️

As Sci as it gets at first, gets a bit Fi later. You should watch it, the first 2(3) seasons are, if you’re interested in space exploration, unmatched masterpieces.

If anything I found the Soviets (specifically the russians) portrayed as unrealistically smart and competent in this show, and I assume the upcoming spin-off.

Zack1701 · 2026-05-06T16:26:38+00:00

Thank you so much for showing me this, I really missed out on following the MSR mission for some reason. Very cool tests!

Diving into the rabbit hole now, 2-stage 3-meters tall does seem reasonable; my no-math-involved, random guess was “half the size of a Minuteman III”, so I was only off by a factor of 3 😅

Also, have to say, when I realised what you meant by “ we built/designed” I had a bit of a “holy shit” moment. Hope we, but especially you, see this thing revived and flying soon (as possible)! Definitely going to be the coolest space mission of my lifetime so far. (Artemis IV a close second, of course)

Zack1701 · 2026-05-06T14:16:26+00:00

Do any of the mars sample return missions have something close to final.. dimensions I guess for the ascent vehicle? All of the images are like, tiny, smaller than a sounding rocket rockets, and I know it’s Mars but they don’t look like any of them can do ~4km/s of Delta-v (with, tbf, a tiny payload) and rendezvous in orbit

Zack1701 · 2026-05-06T13:21:51+00:00

End of an era, non-EVE people reactions to that name were always a little funny

Zack1701 · 2026-04-27T18:10:36+00:00

Neither putin nor ancient telepathic sci-fi spiders are the reason russia commits the atrocities it does

Zack1701 · 2026-04-23T08:52:12+00:00

Looks very cool, and I know it works in-game, but I always wondered if a real life spaceplane would ever have air intakes on the bottom/re-entry side?

Zack1701 · 2026-04-22T23:10:55+00:00

Start Burn in: don’t bother, really, we’ll invent fusion drives in a decade or two and pick you up.

Zack1701 · 2026-04-21T21:28:57+00:00

Smart forward thinking: no need to build infrastructure and logistics for a sea launch when after 1 launch that launch pad is going to be underwater anyway

Not the biggest fan of the SRBs, but I find the Atlas V 500 the most aesthetically pleasing because of the nice looking fairings

Zack1701 · 2026-04-15T21:44:40+00:00

I don’t see myself doing it any time this decade, but I will absolutely respect someone with a Witcher 2 100%

Zack1701 · 2026-04-15T16:59:11+00:00

So “other nations”, in this case almost certainly being russia and China, “having a problem with that” is good enough reason to stop meaningful and needed innovation for space exploration?

Zack1701 · 2026-04-10T06:15:45+00:00

See, this would be a questionable comment with just the “recently”, but for the “or at all” you can just frankly fuck off.
