Not just Mars, but yes. Biodegradability isn’t even a factor since there’s no biosphere to speak of, which also raises philosophical questions like: “what is pollution, exactly?”

What will really bake your noodle is to imagine a future where we settle the Moon and Mars. Do old space program artifacts become monuments and parks (debris and all), or are they trash to be removed from the environment?

Now that you mention it, that’s probably why.

What I’m curious about is the “engineering model.”

All NASA missions have duplicate probes, satellites, rovers, here on earth. They’re essential for testing various scenarios like training astronauts (in the case of the Hubble repair missions), or testing the limits of the systems in question. I wonder if the engineering model for Curiosity has one of its wheels cut away in the same pattern, to simulate difficulties in navigation and traction?

Yes, but also this stressed out, in October of 2024? Either my mental health is in the dumper 20 years from now, or I need to pick a different year.

Edit: this thread. Yikes. Take time to take care of yourselves - you deserve it. I wish you all a good day and a pleasant good night.

For me, it’s all the suck brought on by a pathological fear (trauma) of authority figures abusing their power. In this case: TSA, and their ability to completely screw with your travel plans. To be clear, this is not rational and 100% nothing bad happens.

As true now as ever.

Too bad.

Hello there!

For me it’s the damn scale under the bag, and how long the kiosk takes to register the weight of the last scanned item. Then the system “unlocks” and lets me scan another item. This system slows me down to the speed of the worst clerk in the store.

Maybe? I think that’s open to interpretation. IMO, only the devs at Bethesda can make that call.

Me? I’m not going to hold onto the opinion that it’s game-breaking so strongly. After all, if you’re having fun, what’s the problem?

Well, it’s a shitpost so: Hacks and exploits. But since it’s Skyrim, probably just exploits.

True, but it’s clearly no Powerthirst.

Oh, is that what this is? Here I was thinking they “shipped Amazon Prime” to people and thought “well that’s bad grammar but… what did they actually ship using Prime?”

And yeah, fuck that guy.

Username checks out.

Not just porn, but classic art by a famous artist. Check out Hokusai’s “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife.”

I recently spotted one that had this two-tone paint: copper and purple. I couldn’t decide if it was an improvement or not.

You are living up to, and by my estimation exceeding, your username. Sorry to hear you had a rough childhood. Glad to hear that things are better - you sound like an awesome host.

That’s a “lawful evil” move if I’ve ever seen one. I like it.

I think this meme template is a bit like The Aristocrats; many tellings but it’s all the same joke. In this case, I think almost any back-and-forth text would work and would have it’s own “ew” factor, some worse than others.

A: I want to grow up to topple the proletariat!

B: Bro, we’re in a coconut.

Which season is this? Winter, Still Winter, or Road Construction?

I’m more impressed that you got the batter to stay put. Or is the entire appliance at 120 degrees?
