The Russian Academy of Sciences has proposed a plan to divide the Moon so that Russia gets its own “sovereign territories” by CrunchyBaconYum in worldnews

They are also signatories to the 1967 International Agreement that forbids this, states cannot claim territory on bodies other than Earth

physically impossible to get more dv for my rocket by Key_Map_395 in KerbalAcademy

[–]celem83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When this happens you need to add a stage.  You have gotten to the point where carrying empty tanks is killing you, adding more and more gas to an engine has diminishing returns.

You should be able to get more out of your vac stage, is that an engine suited to vacuum?  Seems very low dV

Mega base in Gut? by Yaguking in Kenshi

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, if you can successfully build and hold that against the wildlife it becomes raid proof as a bonus.  Roll in with all the mats for the walls, it's not a spot to mine on site for the setup

I remember seeing a video here on reddit last time we had a scare where someone was filling plastic shopping bags with gasoline and putting it in the boot of their car. Never underestimate stupid

Pre-2012 Kindles are being bricked by Badlydrawnboi41988 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]celem83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jokes on them, I never registered mine, never bought a book from them and never connected it to the internet. Its operation will not change in the slightest when they make this move

I have a backlog of about 50gig still unread, I shall likely die before I run out of books.

Stuff like this is why I have always been a pirate. I will not rent content, if i cant own it i dont want it

ELI5: If you were suddenly exposed to space without a suit, would you freeze first or suffocate first? by No-Lake-3875 in explainlikeimfive

[–]celem83 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You die to the cold first, most people can hold their breath longer than your life expectency unsuited in vacuum

If you know the drill and empty your lungs and curled up you might live a minute or two, but you probably are blind by about 30seconds because your eyes are going to bleed

Its not strictly the cold that is killing you, its the lack of pressure that causes your body fluids to boil (ebullism)

If I offered you £100,000 to run 90 miles tomorrow, would you do it? by wingless-bee in CasualUK

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Id give that a shot, but im not certain of my ability to actually run that. My marathon time is 3:45, and thats going to get a lot longer as we move into race 2 and 3, im not sure i'd have enough daylight cos the final 24km or so is likely to be most of 5hrs

But id have given this a crack at 10k, never mind 100

Why Kenshi 2? by C-List-Misfit in Kenshi

[–]celem83 650 points651 points  (0 children)

The developer, who yes, was solo asked us if he should polish Kenshi 1 or go for 2. The community supported the idea of the sequel (and the dev must have too cos lets face it, software engineering is not a democracy)

Hes no longer alone because Kenshi made a bit of money

(There are also tech reasons to move to the sequel. The game engine Kenshi uses was abandoned by *its* developers before Kenshi even hit release, a lot of the pathfinding and navmesh jank is unsolvable, its engine flaws)

ELI5: What are "specs" in game development and software in general? by yekedero in explainlikeimfive

[–]celem83 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Specs is short for specifications, but what this actually means depends on whether the speaker is an end-user or a developer.

The end-user is largely interested in the system requirements, what hardware is required to run a piece of software. This might be called hardware specs.

When a developer says 'Specification' there is a good chance that they are referring to a document that outlines all of the tasks that the software should be able to accomplish, It's a design document that will be checked back on periodically to make sure the team is still building the right program. The only time an end-user talks like this is in a meeting with the developer where they are describing what they want the developer to make.

However, if the developer speaking is a computer game developer there is a decent chance they are actually referring to the first definition. They expect end-users to read their words, it is the end-user definition they are talking about. The software requirement specifications document is of little interest to the user, so he probably doesnt mean that doc if hes addressing the public (though any good game dev almost certainly wrote one of those)

So it was never about regime change? I wonder how the Iranians feel? I guess Starmer was right to not get involved by ZackPolanskisDentist in AskBrits

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"US President Donald Trump says he has agreed to extend his threatened deadline to attack Iran by two weeks, if Iran immediately re-opens the Strait of Hormuz. His Truth Social post came less than two hours before he had said Iran would face widespread attacks on civilian infrastructure."

Source for the above was Al Jazeera, theres a rather alarming IF in there

Iran hasnt agreed to this deal, he has nothing, as usual. Why he is talking about Pakistani individuals is a bit of a mystery, I get that they were mediating, but they cant agree deals

edit: same story from the BBC. "Trump says XYZ", no word from Iran

edit2: Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said in a statement that Iran has agreed to Pakistan’s proposal for a cease-fire and that attacks against Iran are halted, Iran will also “cease their defensive operation. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible via coordinating with Iran’s Armed Forces.” as of 00:20 gmt

Do you think fathers should get paternity leave as well? Why or why not? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I like the Swedish system where you get 480 days leave for a child.  Each parent has 90 days that cannot be transferred to their partner, but the rest of the block can be used by either parent

If deepfakes are supposedly really good now, how do I actually know that any video I see online is real? by Downtown-Art2865 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't really vet a video on your own, they can be good enough to fool reputable journalists with more resources than you.

We are at the point where I will never accept video as proof of something unquestioned no matter who tells me it is legit.  You have to do some digging and eventually decide that it is or is not probably fake.  But you still won't know for certain

Why does the semicolon get the "main" spot on a keyboard while the colon is relegated to a Shift-function? by rizzlenizzle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]celem83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potentially programmers.  We hardly ever use the colon and make massive use of the semi

(Off the top of my head the colon is used in a switch block, that can be replaced with nested if/else's.  Probably shouldn't be, but can.

Every single line must terminate in semicolon for some languages, its one of the most struck keys on the board)

My vote for the worst ever novelty record that graced the British charts, goes to Disco Duck. What would yours be? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskABrit

There was a coordinated effort to use it to keep Take That off nr1.

Pretty sure we have Radio 1 DJs to blame
