“The company is working on a small-scale prototype that they hope to get off the ground in early 2027. A key goal of that project will be field testing the module’s orbital debris protection system, ensuring that it can withstand the harsh environment of space. The defenses have held up to ground-based stress tests but have not yet been tested in space.”

Did not know gamersupps was a thing. Essentially pre-workout mix for gamers? Nice.

I don’t like that they don’t list the exact amount of caffeine on the label though. Just that it’s a proprietary blend. I think at least caffeine should be broken out into its own line item. But 154,000mcg for the blend, so not more than 150mg caffeine per scoop. On par with a normal Monster

Edit: found it on the cans, 125mg. Still not seeing it on the nutrition label for the tub of powder, probably similar. I’m laughing at it but may buy some for days I skip the gym but still want my morning caffeine, coffee fucks my stomach

It’s on sale on steam right now. I said screw it and am diving in mostly blind, only watched one video on steam after reading this post. Wish me luck

George Washington (real answer, George W Bush)

We should survey the linux_gaming community. That will give us a larger sample size that’s definitely representative of the broader trends

Yea I’m a weirdo! My dad owns pretty much every Stephen King book, so I started reading them in middle school

I recently tried audio books and they worked surprisingly well for me. I tried some of those “bedtime stories for adults” at first but they were kind of lame. Stephen King’s short story collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes did the trick. Just speaker on my phone and set to read one chapter, ~1 hour in this case.

I really liked watching B-grade 90s-00s SciFi movies with my dad when I was a kid. That was the name of one that came out around the time I made a reddit account, I don’t know if I ever even watched it, it just sounded like a good username. Reminds me, I should probably make a new lemmy account that’s not tied to the same name

The fact that Facebook is one of the largest companies still blows my mind.

Sounds like SEE (single event effect) if it’s something fixable by software.

TID (total ionizing dose) is another flavor of radiation effect on components, but that’s a total lifetime effect where it slowly degrades. Using rad hard parts or adding extra shielding is the main fix.

SEEs are transient effects from high energy charged particles that can cause bit flips and latch ups in circuitry depending on where the particle hits and deposits it’s charge in the circuitry. Extra shielding can help prevent these as well, but they can also be mitigated in software, sometimes the fix is just error detection, or power cycling a specific section of circuitry to clear a latchup

Except I get water. I just want water, with no ice

Scarification is a form of body mod

No no, it’s an in cock, not an out cock. Like the difference between innie and outie belly buttons.

Is that really a thing…? Not me. But I also only have enough plants to keep my apartment a bit greener, I wouldn’t call myself a “plant guy” by any stretch

Also makes sense that in higher stress situations like combat, they’d be fighting for control more frequently than when they’re chilling in camp.

My buddy in South Carolina just sent me a faint pic, cool that it got that far south

Bonus pic of last night’s sunset from Denver. The sun has been good to us lately!

Oh hey neighbor!

I only see pH 1 in the cupboard, guess I’ll just have to chug 14 L of it today
