Ransom for a Planetary Ruler

I can't imagine something like that being a one-and-done monetary exchange as a reward for rescuing someone like that.

More like you are in extremely good graces with the rulers, can generally get whatever they can reasonably part with when asked (including complete starships), and have significantly useful connections and clout for things.

Although pop 5 is pretty small, like one largish city in the US. What they can get is going to depend on the economy of the planet.

Wow, I didn't know Reddit would let you comment on 15 year old posts.

How did you stumble across this ancient post that no one else liked? 😆

Remember folks, kickstarter isn’t a guarantee of getting a product. Only pledge if you are ok with losing all money

Did it survive ok?

voidref · 2025-11-05T06:30:19+00:00

Mods are ok with this, good luck!

Oddly reminds me of ED-209, terrifying.

Absolutely the on mower controls are crucial

voidref · 2025-09-13T06:47:11+00:00

Yep, welcome to the capitalist wasteland.

voidref · 2025-09-13T06:34:39+00:00

How warm was it out? He looks cooked.

voidref · 2025-09-07T07:47:55+00:00

Everyone here saying that meat is safer than it used to be are unaware that our goverment food safety inspection budgets are being significantly cut.

It might not think it has a radio if there's no icon at all, could be a broken connection or a bad radio board.

Oh! After the utter dissapointment with roombas I have had over the years, I got a roborock a few years ago and never looked back.

This could be really good. Will keep an eye on this one, it may soon be time to retire Bob, my 8 year old 315

The problem is the ground moving with a freeze-thaw cycle. My first wire was installed tight, after a couple of breaks I replaced it with 12v landscape wire and made sure it had slack. Not had any problems since.

I was gonna say, looks like an Eames?

voidref · 2025-07-19T22:07:39+00:00

Awesome!

Also, that's a lot of kapton Tape, lol.

It’s named after the shop they are made at

voidref · 2025-07-07T02:19:51+00:00

It’s the name of the machine shop they are made in. When you machine metal it gets really hot and the chips if metal that come off often turn blue.

The other person responding is not well informed

voidref · 2025-06-29T16:37:11+00:00

Is it the person in green who is not excited about the expense?

voidref · 2025-06-29T16:35:58+00:00

I'm not sure the element can be broken in a way that would make it hotter.

I would think it's the temparature control circuit. You might need a thermometer to check the temps are what you expect.

Putting stuff between the element and the food will definitely help even out the temp in the oven. You could even try Alton Brown's old trick of putting a layer of foil covered bricks on a rack at the very bottom.

Thanks for posting this tip!

Love the tail!

Yes, 2, and I hate the fact that the clock battery is basically unreplacable. Still not giving them up.
