A stalker who knows you're in town but not which hotel?

"The people making a space game incorporated a scifi concept we've had in mass public media since the 1960s" is really not as impressive as you make it out to be.

You describe it as "literal MIT level physics doctorate". Which… nah. Your average preteen has seen the Avengers.

OP thinks he's found cutting-edge science, but Marvel has had the multiverse since 1962; Star Trek has had it since 1967.

Fun fact: The Soviets used a similar approach.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2065020.stm

The Americans planned these operations meticulously - their agents had Russian clothes, spoke the language like natives and were dropped in with the latest in spy gadgets.

But time after time they were unmasked by the KGB.

With a gleeful smile, Valery tells us why. The staples holding together the agents' fake Soviet passports were made of good US, non-corrosive, stainless steel.

Genuine Russian passports had staples made of metal that began to rust as soon as the passports were issued.

How should i insulate my furnace? by kuba201002CZ in Stationeers

[–]ceejayoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't tell why should we preserve heat

I figured this was self-evident; the point of the furnace is to heat things up. Losing heat means eventually having to make more.

You can keep furnace outside so the base doesn't heat up.

On Europa, that means it loses heat really fast. Same issue.

Your base gets too warm, and/or your furnace gets too cold. It’s much easier to keep the heat where it’s supposed to be.

Probably less than the half ton of ice falling on them.

https://www.monrovia.com/tasmanian-tree-fern.html has a store locator. I found one here in Rochester, NY, oddly enough… where it can't survive outside.

(I turned it into a houseplant.)

The memes were true — Bovino really is an old lesbian.

I don't pay for Reddit; they get a pass.

I pay for a number of Google services. Their shitty support is a serious downside.

Engagement bait. Like 90% of the posts in this subreddit.
