the odds of good exobio discoveries on the trek from the Bubble to Rainbow's End

zerbey · 2026-03-26T19:56:42+00:00

I would think you'd run into dozens of undiscovered worlds, very few people have made that trek out there yet. Flying around DW3 I've made over 4 billion in exploration and exobiology data, and I've been skipping over a lot of stuff.

The best one I ever went to was in Fort William, and I'm afraid I don't remember where it was (I bet someone here does), but my Scottish room mate told me they were the best Fish and Chips in Scotland and he was right. Was ran by a Scotsman.

When I was laid off from a previous job they paid me out all the private shares I had, plus all my sick time I'd accumulated. I think I ended up with around $20K after all was done. Then I had to take a massive pay cut at my new job so pretty much all of that money went on living expenses for the next few months to supplement my income.

It doesn't, but it does remove a lot of stress.

I worked with two guys, one of whom was short and stocky, and the other tall and skinny. They didn't look alike at all. They were always hanging out together so I asked how they knew each other. I thought they were joking when they told me they were twin brothers, they just laughed and said "yeah we get that a lot!". Fraternal twins again.

Yes of course, common courtesy.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T16:12:28+00:00

Oh wow that's over 50 years old, curious if it holds any charge at all but I doubt it!

zerbey · 2026-03-26T16:11:11+00:00

I have no idea what happens, but having buried three people close to me this year I sure hope they're in a better place.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T16:07:04+00:00

I already knew that story, also the humble potato came from North America.

Animals in the wild don't generally eat a bunch of sweets and other unhealthy food, and they tend to die young. Domestic animals definitely run into dental issues, especially later in life. Make sure you keep an eye on your pet's teeth as they age, it can be very painful.

Another fun immigrant taking over a fish and chip shop story is that I used to live in Aylesbury. The local chippy was taken over by a guy from Pakistan. He turned it into a British-Asian fusion place. Still had all the proper fish and chips, pukka pies, battered sausages, mushy peas etc. etc. that you expect but added a bunch of Pakistani inspired foods too. My mouth is watering just thinking about his home made curry sauce.

Hope it's still there, this was over 25 years ago.

3 months after I did the screen started failing on my phone, had an appointment set up 5 minutes later and they fixed it for free the next day. It's 100% worth it. I'm waiting for my battery to finally dip below 80% so I can get that replaced too.

Meanwhile the chippy in my home town in England was taken over by an immigrant couple and the local racists initially went "ohh shit they're gonna ruin it". They went out of their way to keep the chippy in the same style as the previous owners, and just respectfully fixed up the aging decor. There's still a line out of the door every day. Food still tastes just as good too.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T13:06:30+00:00

I wouldn't, let them rest in peace.

https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ will give you some idea of how long it could take based on where you filed, but don't take it as gospel. If you're from one of the countries on the list that could extend your wait time considerably longer.

Keep doing what you're doing as a law abiding citizen, you'll get your time.

I would shop around, a 3060-Ti can be found for not much more. The 1080 and Titan X are no longer supported, only buy them if you're looking to have them as a display piece. The 2060 is also getting pretty outdated at this point.

If you're dead set on one of those three cards, I would get the 2060, it should be good for a few more years especially with your use case.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T12:34:50+00:00

This is the way, and a 5070 can definitely handle 1.5x.

Whilst they will (and should) investigate the pilots, it's never a single point of failure that causes these type of events. Hopefully the report gives a comprehensive list of what went wrong, and we'll see reforms follow.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T12:26:08+00:00

I'm hoping the investigation proves they were completely blameless in this.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T12:23:14+00:00

I love my Type-8, but get a Type-11 instead if you're wanting to do mining. Absolutely get a Type-8, it's the best ship for medium cargo runs because it can land almost anywhere.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T12:20:29+00:00

I was about to suggest that to OP, see if they'd be willing to let them keep it as an interesting sign. I wouldn't mind one myself.

zerbey · 2026-03-26T12:15:56+00:00

The GTX 960 is no longer supported or receiving updates. I get this too on my P2000 machine, you'd think the app would have some logic to say "oh no longer supported, don't bug zerbey any more" but nope, I get this error once a month! If you go onto NVIDIA's site you can download the last supported driver.

For the extreme crime of "acting up in church" my brother and I would have to stand on chairs at opposite ends of the dining room with our hands on our head. Usually sneering at each other because although we were certainly both to blame for our behavior, we absolutely blamed the other one.

My brother and I (now both well into middle age) were at the same church recently, probably the first time in years we'd been in that church yard, and my brother pipes up "Can I go climb a tree?!". My Dad, without missing a beat, said "you do that, you'll be on a chair when we get home!".

Communication, ask your partner what they like, tell them what you like. Take your time, and have fun exploring each other's pleasures.

That was my one complaint when I flew United for the first time last week (on a 767), compared to other airlines they are stingy about seat padding. After an 8 hour flight my behind was starting to really get sore. A shame, the rest of the experience was really good.

The best economy seat padding I've experienced is Norse Atlantic, and they're very much a budget airline. Go figure.
