@CombatPigeon96 For $150 there's little reason not to. Might have some problem but probably perfectly fixable.

@DreamMixGames This looks so cool.

@phone3301 You know, with the advent of VR and even programs like 4D Toybox in VR, we have a chance to train a child to see in 4D...

@astrogrant I really wonder about the world where Shuttle didn't have this requirement. I bet it would have been a lot cheaper, at least.

@MattGialich Personally I just keep my xenon in jerry cans but this works too

@Michaelskywal For those uninitiated, this was basically one of the first forms of computer memory, but it used sound through mercury, a speaker and microphone on each end. Called delay-line memory:

@inherentvibes Yes, LUTs are goated

@AnalogDreamDev N64 - but! I love that there's a PICO-8 mode. A reference to a retro console that only existed "after its time"

@synblinkerfluid I mean... yeah? If you're making a small truck and everything on the lot is $45k, why expect to sell it? The so-called "base models" start much too high still.

@mightbejell0 @otherside_X42 Oh, or each Pe. IT depends on whether the resonant orbit is "above" or "below" your target. The yellow dashed line is the snyc orbit, green is where your bus should be (resontant).

[ExoticMatters @Exotic_Matters]

@mightbejell0 @otherside_X42 You set your bus to the resonant orbit, then at each Ap, you release 1 satellite and circularize to your sync orbit. The period of the sync orbit is equal to 1/3 (or 1/n) of the sync orbit, so if you release at each Ap in a row they're evenly spaced 1/3 of the way around.

[ExoticMatters @Exotic_Matters]

@mightbejell0 @otherside_X42 Yeah it's basically the first thing I pull up before visiting a new body!

@Supersonic_Mann @patricksbones @1followernodad If you hated Ender's Game, you'll really hate the real-life events it was criticizing.

@guttenbirder22 Imagine you arrive at your hostel in a foreign country. You go to the bathroom to brush your teeth, none the wiser. You feel a little funny. You check the sink, it's pooling heavily to the right. Right then you know: you're going to have a sleepless, askew night.
