foly huck thas a lot of bubble tea you should buy the kits from coles theyre probably cheaper

>>1173623 When playing online chess, what's to stop somebody just running a supercomputer simulation on their second monitor and just copying all the moves the machine says to do? is it just the honour system? how would you even detect that kind of cheating
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yes the anti cheat system is based on people playing moves that look suspiciously like the top engine move there is a whole vibe that good players can recognize with cheaters like always spending the same amount of time per move (even if it's like an insanely complicated position) is an obvious tell
ok what if you get a computer that's not like a super computer but a dumb AI that's only just smarter than the average human but still good at chess so it doesn't make all the BEST optimal moves but it makes decent ones that low elo scrub still wouldn't think of
in terms of actual employment, I've just been making french fries but it was super chill half an hour of work, half an hour of letting the machine do its thing (smoke break), repeat 4 times, lunchbreak, do it a few more times, go home it was basically in that sweet spot of technically inefficient usage of time, but without anything else that could reasonably be done while the machine worked cause we had to get that stuff bagged up asap when the machine was done, so we couldn't like, get started on anything else and just fucking leave that suddenly in the middle of what we were doing, you know? well, it was more like an hour of work, then the machine goes for half an hour, but still
ya I heal yah I hear ya* some jobs are chill like that so you can have good balance between rushing through a workload and just making-shft till the end of the day.
I've said it on hear before years ago I was training on a forklift. I liked it, because your always moving and safty is a main fixture. safety* and if it's hot in thw warehouse the forklift make like a air channel, when moving ya get a breaze flowin...
meanwhile at this grocery store now, we've got WAY too much to do we've got a workload for like 6 people a day this previous week, and obviously that's not done cause there's THREE of us per shift, occasionally 4, actually we're 3+2 so not even 3 per shift cause the corpos are idiots and combine the inefficiency of pallets stacked for maximum products per pallet rather than minimum time to move products from pallet to shelves on the other end, an utterly berserk auto-order system that's loaded up our shelves with enough noodles to last through the next 4 years probably in addition to a bunch of other bullshit, and a storage area that allows for many pallets stored, but only the outermost one can actually be ACCESSED so until fucking FRIDAY we were OUT OF SODAS and the boss man isn't allowed to take on more people to handle the workload because he has to keep wages below a specified percentage of the revenue we've got more products on the "you HAVE TO have this in the store" than we have SHELF SPACE FOR, **AND THE CORPORATION DESIGNED THIS STORE, BUILDING AND ALL**
we have several must-have products that literally are sitting on the top shelf or on a trolley somewhere cause we don't fucking know where to put it, there isn't space anywhere and the packages, oh my GOD the FUCKING packages bossman says it's worth having around and he has the numbers so I'm sur e he knows what he's doing, but they eat SO much fucking time there's like half an hour to an hour in the morning that goes to just putting them in their place, registering them and stuff, depending on how many there are, them being there at all obviously eats our extremely limited space in the small-soda\recycling machine room, making other stuff like replacing the big plastic sacks the recycling goes in take longer when there's packages along the wall next to it, and then it also eats a ton of time on the other end when customers who are just there to get a package and nothing else show up, you gotta stop what you're doing to go over and deal with that bullshit aaaa, I hate the packages
the self-checkout system is idiotic too every other self checkout in the country is a fucking register and barcode scanner turned toward the customer and they just do it themselves, but nooooo, of course we gotta be special and novel and you use the fucking app to scan shit as you shop, meaning basically nobody uses it, and when someone DOES use it, whoever has the workphone has to drop what they're doing to verify the mfer is 16+ because like basically everyone buys a monster or redbull and those are age restricted now, meaning it doesn't ACTUALLY save much time at all in the first place, and complicates matters a lot when there's 2 people at work, both registers are going because it's the 3pm rush, and then you gotta figure out "okay which one of us tells the massive line at our register that we gotta go deal with this bullshit, despite them being the ones in line?"
the really fucked up thing is the pallet thing isn't just me being fucking neurodivergent and particular about efficiency uber alles, it's an issue that the franchisers have brought up in basically every meeting with their superiors, across the country, for YEARS we're the only chain that DOES IT THIS WAY every other chain, they just bring the pallet to the place the products on that layer of the pallet go, and they go through pallets like crazy, you don't SEE pallets on the store floor after like 1pm in most stores because they're DONE meanwhile we just CAN NOT do that, because shit is not arranged in layers based on product type, everything's just a fucking mishmash with stuff that goes in opposite sides of the store being next to each other, and below is something that goes in yet another place, and then at the very bottom is the rest of the shit that goes in the place the stuff at the top goes >>1173685 we've got those manual palletjacks there's no backcrew there's, until I started, one person manning the register and doing assorted stuff you can comfortably do while keeping an eye on the register, and one person doing uuuuuh, everything else now there's 2 of that latter one, but the one manning the register can't really do much beyond the register from like 9 to 18 because traffick's picked up considerably this last half a year
we might be getting the motorized palletjacks, but the issue is, well obviously the cost is one part of it, but the bossman can tank that if it improves workflow but the big issue is, you technically need a license to operate those, legally speaking * I have that license, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one currently on payroll who does, the boss included
Anno
do you operate a palletjack or is that just the back crew?
Anno
>>1173684 so your like tense about getting more workload because of being the only with qualifaction?
S C
and getting a trucklicense (which is what this is, technically) is really, really expensive I got it through the unemployment\everythingrelatedtoemploymentreally office like, a decade ago, but they obviously have money to throw around, being government >>1173686 not really, it's more like he can't reasonably actually buy those things when everyone but one of his staff aren't legally allowed to operate them I mean, it's not difficult or anything, but it does come with him being on the hook for making sure only certified personell use them, and I think having them at all also comes with the health and safety requirement of iron-toed shoes
he could shell out for certification for everyone but that's really expensive, and takes a week or so I think and for that matter my position is currently SOMEWHAT uncertain like, I'm on payroll by the grace of him getting supplemented by the local government, they pay like half my wages, but they're only doing that out June, and if I'm not an apprentice by then, then we gotta just kinda call it off that should go well, the process is going and we've met with the guy who's gonna put it all in motion, but even after the apprenticeship is done, there's no guarantee he has the econ to take me on going forward, so if he gets a thing only I'm legally allowed to operate, and then can't afford to keep me around, he's just stuck with these machines that cost a pretty penny, and are illegal for him to utilize at all
actually I think one other person might have a truck license I'm not sure, but I get the vibe she might well, forklift we call them trucks but they're forklifts it's like, the same Type of vehicle in terms of licensing, but the automated palletjacks are T1, and I'm licensed for T1, T3, and T4. T3 and T4 being your regular type of forklift, the little cabin with the two big forks on the front, the image you get when you hear "forklift" I HAVE used a T5 as well, or maybe it's a T6. Those BIG boys with the widht between the forks to carry building materials like planks and stuff I'm not licensed for it, but the bossman went "well, you know how to right? just see if you can manage it", so I did, and it's easy enough. And really, he's the one in legal trouble if someone came sniffing around, not me, so I did it's really the same thing, they just go sideways and you gotta be a bit more aware of your surroundings cause well, they're a lot bigger and more powerful so you can REALLY destroy stuff if you make a turn wrong being so big and heavy lets them go a lot higher too, which is pretty tricky cause it goes so high you can't really see all that well what you're doing up there honestly I think we'd benefit a lot from having a separate storage building and a forklift to just grab what we actually need from there and move it to the store's back gate, but obviously that's an enormous expense and, again obviously, I'd likely be the only one allowed to operate that forklift, so I'd at minimum need to have a 100% position for the foreseeable future, likely primarily evening shifts, and that does stack costs for the guy
I don't think that'll ever happen, no other store I know of has a separate warehouse like that, but no other store I know of has a storage area made by people who've never once interacted with a palletjack in their life, either
>>1173628 I when to end you but the only "Hikaru" is a GM, so let me know went*

i guess I do occasionally run on the treadmill earlyish in the mornings. downstairs might not love that. but it's not thaaaaaaaaaaaaat loud. and its like 6am not like 4.
I'm a very considerate neighbor, i'll have you know. Don't even vaccume or use the blender after 9pm
Beta !ihDDLMqv5o
>>1173729 can you quiet down mate, can hear you from here
from the depths is... really fucking complicated I mean, it's 'simple' in the sense that things kinda make sense, but it really goes all the way with that You can make a boat entirely out of wood and it'll float regardless of shape but 'floating' isn't enough, you gotta stay fuckin' upright, too, and something that floats too well is a lot more likely to topple over and stay toppled over at anything above a snail's pace
I've managed to cobble together what I'm calling a scout ship, for like, EARLY game, like literally the very very start It has no guns or nothin', but it floats, it moves, and it stays upright due to a slab of lead bolted to the bottom of it if it topples over, which it does sometimes cause it's got more juice than it's really built for, the lead makes it so topheavy it gets itself upright again in short order... most of the time
This ship exists exclusively to be spammed out as quick as possible when the game starts, to spread around the map to capture territory even strapping a gun to it at all would be a waste of resources, cause like, it's made out of wood, it's small, it isn't gonna win a fight regardless of armaments fighting is the domain of other, more potent ships
you could, of course, simply make planes and stuff instead which is certainly an option, they're faster if nothing else but putting a servicable plane together is also a pain in the ass and typically if they hit the water, they're done
Anno
but theres that one plane thats, when build for air and water. maybe sould say it's larger then life
you absolutely can make actual all-terrain vehicles like, you can have the same vessel able to navigate land, water, underwater, air, and space but getting all of that set up properly, not to mention the sheer amount of resources it will need to carry on board for the engines that need to lift enormous weight, and then also guns and stuff, it's really time consuming to design, and also gonna cost you an absurd amount of materials It's really preferable to make specialized vehicles that have particular tasks and roles in and out of combat like, an orbital laser is a great thing to make, even if it's a bit wonky to get it working, and "space" is only 2km up in the air so it will need some defensive capabilities or a handful of missiles will put it down real quick but if you try to make a battleship that can also be an orbital laser, the cost and complexity balloons
the next thing I wanna make is a spy sattellite cause fog of war is a pain in the ass, so it'd be handy to have some relatively cheap little guys I can just shunt into space and get some vision then I'll get working on something that can actually fight, probably just a glorified container ship with a buncha missiles. They're expensive in use, but really effective and easy to set up and if you launch enough of them, point defense hardly matters if you can shoot down a missile a second, I just need to launch enough that there's more missiles than seconds until impact once they're in range Really it might be beneficial to have multiple, slightly cheaper ships with a handful of missiles each, rather than one big boy with a ton cause like, if I have one Large Lad, that's a single point of failure, it's one unit that can be targeted and if it's hit, the battle is over
Anno
I went to play but no one was online?
!ReneWy59x.
then who was phone
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1173764 dang that's pretty cool i'd like to make a sea worth vessel i think that's a cool project seems like the game has a crazy difficulty wall though just to get going
Yeah it takes some getting into I got my spy satellite working at least It's a LITTLE scuffed, but it hovers and has a surplus of power once in position, so it can be moved gradually as I expand
Turns out the little scouter ship was just a complete dud, you get WAY too many mats right off the bat if you just spam material gathering beams to justify a stupidly cheap, slow wooden boat, even for EARLY expansion I will have to rethink my strat, and instead make some actual fighting ships
It DOES start you out with some default ships you can use to just play right off the bat, turns out, though I haven't tried them out yet I'll have to come up with a good fleet composition I don't think having one ship that does everything is a good idea, though Like, you can do it, but the more stuff it can do, the more complex the build gets and the more expensive it is. You've got a lot of materials to work with, sure, but so does the enemy, and their ships are made by people who know what they're doing, and hyper-specialized You're not gonna be able to deal with an orbital strike cannon with a fleet of ships that all "also can sorta combat spaceborne threats" and one of the enemies DOES have... you know, an orbital strike cannon
Maybe I'll adopt the American (USA USA USA USA USA) strategy of "what? no, our ships aren't made to fight stuff, they carry airplanes. the airplanes fight stuff"
After all Airplanes are so fucking cracked, it redefined warfare entirely when someone strapped some guns on one Their primary weakness being that once they run out of fuel, they die outright
one big tip I do have, if you give it a try though, is uh strap lead on the bottom of your stuff ballast is crazy tech, it's what makes my spy sattelite not go utterly fucking bananas trying to stabilize itself, cause as long as it sort of handles the big stuff, the small stuff will overall work itself out due to the base of the thing being several meters of solid lead its center of mass is crazy low despite all the actual electronics and equipment being towards the top of it it does mean the engine has to work a bit harder to get lift, but once you're in space, that kinda evens itself out cause it's practically weightless
if your ship is misbehaving, bolt some slabs of lead to the bottom of it, it'll even out, and you can just beef up the engine a bit to compensate it's not elegant, but it's very effective
S C
alternatively I guess I could just make ICBMs and go fucking sicko mode You may feel safe, up in space, but oh what's that down below 1500 cheap-ass nukes going 150meters a second barreling towards you with nothing more than a shitty gopro for visual guidance

Beta !ihDDLMqv5o
>>1173783 worst part is i was gonna buy an electric car last year but ended up getting another petrol one. Regretssssss
Anno
you probally would have had more regret if you went with option a fuel shouldn't be sky rocketing though
Beta !ihDDLMqv5o
Nah, the EVs I was looking at were cheaper as well, but I didn't want a SUV which most of them were. I think fuel will go up a lot more after April 20 because that's apparently when the last shipment of fuel arrives in Australia..
Anno
oh ya, like price to buy over price after purchace, which I thought you ment. at least with petrol powered you know when your going to run out of fuel. it's hard to tell with EV if it it just broke or ran out charge.
I wonder how long until a genre of electronic music that syncs with the lasers starts getting off the ground, and then how long until a radio station that plays them in sync with the lasers
nevermind that I'm making a submarine well, I'll probably make a buncha submarines They're a bit complicated to build cause you gotta really balance them out so they don't expend a TON of resources just staying under water or, alternatively, staying above the sea floor but they're also, you know, effectively immune to ballistics
The drawback, of course, being that they have very few, if any, real options when it comes to combatting aircraft I gues it could be programmed to surface and belch out a shitload of radar-guided missiles, then go back under water, when it's up against something too high above sea level that or I could just, more sensibly, strap together a proper boat to accompany the subs, to deal with airborne targets that's more reasonable, I think
one benefit of subs though is you don't really gotta worry too much about, like, roll stability as long as it points the right direction, one orientational axis is largely irrelevant, which does reduce complexity by a good amount boats are more picky about that sort of thing, they don't like going upside down, even if they'll at least sometimes technically function, and it's not TOO difficult to just, you know... strap some lead to the bottom of it as a juryrigged fix aircraft, though, oh boy they're real picky about being oriented properly, obviously, and also because they have to stay in the air, "just strap lead to it" isn't always a great solution, especially considering the underside of the aircraft is where the brunt of incoming fire will make impact, and lead, while very heavy and very dense, is pretty fucking soft and not a great alternative to proper armor
I really do like how FtD solves my big issue with space engineers though The shape of the things I'm making is not entirely creativity. There's a reason my stuff's shaped the way it is, it's functional, and molded from what makes it effective at its task. I don't really gotta think too hard about aesthetics cause that'll sort itself out as I mold the thing for function especially because center of mass, the relative position of thrusters to said center of mass, even aero\hydrodynamics actually matter in FtD if you make the boat pointy, it goes faster than if it's blunt on the front if you make it too front heavy, the propellers on its back are gonna lift off from the water all the time as the nose is plunged into the water by the addition of newtons from the back and that makes you, predictably, slow, not to mention very difficult to maneuver You can solve a lot of it by just strapping on some propellers or thrusters here and there so the PID or AI can make adjustments, but all of that does add drag, costs resources, costs power to operate, makes it heavier. Functional, but not good practice
ya even empty space is counted for bouyancy if you don't have an airpump, the hull will fill with water, so if its building blocks add up to an average of more than the weight of water, it'll just fucking sink the game does not have a concept like "watertight", surprisingly enough. Water just goes through everything perfectly, probably saves a LOT on processing power but, the empty space made by the waterpump does count as effectively no weight, but does have volume, so it adds a lotta bouyancy by pulling the average weight of the craft down wood and light alloy are both lighter than water, so something made entirely from those will float and never sink but of course, you usually want SOME sinkage you do want the boat to be IN the water, not ON the water, after all
I also really like how the limitations of various types of craft kinda make it apparent why real life militaries don't just have like, a "best vehicle" and just make a bunch of those and use just those like, boats are pretty great over water, obviously, but they have some issues like being fairly easy to hit with dumb weapons, like outright cannons and guns, not to mention missiles. On the other hand, if they run out of power, they won't just fucking die, they can at least be resupplied or something, and also they can carry a LOTTA weight for fairly little power usage since they really just do float on the water submarines are very difficult to hit with anything other than torpedos, are great for attacking boats cause they're gonna hit the underside which is not a priority for heavy armor, and are effectively not targetable by aircraft not specifically made to hunt subs but, they have no real way to actually harm aircraft, and if they run out of juice they're gonna either surface or hit the seafloor, depending on design. Neither is good. and aircraft are the king of actually fighting, but weight is really at a premium and while they're pretty capable of avoiding most incoming fire, if they do get hit in the wrong spot, they're out of comission entirely cause "well fuck, engine's out" not to mention they need to refuel cause they have to always burn fuel to stay airborne
orbital strike cannons have few weaknesses to speak of, though, they're just fucking good shit
S C
even within each broad category there's gonna be subcategories a bit boat can pack a lotta firepower, but it's also a bigger, usually slower, target smaller boats have less firepower typically, but can be faster, more maneuverable, and thus excellent for support
wow they really put the processing all the way at the back smh

Deworming wouldn't help since it's cancer. Small cell lymphoma in the lymph nodes in his abdomen causing GI inflammation. We started him on steroids last night to help with the inflammation so he can eat and drink again. He's on an antiemetic to help with vomiting. And I ordered chemotherapy drugs which should come Friday or Saturday. Later this month he'll get in with an oncologist for more specialized treatment.
We're still waiting on cytology results to see how far along the cancer is.

>>Deworming wouldn't help since it's cancer. I don't I mean to say, I don't mean deworming, I mean the drug 's that deworm have been know to cure cancer... At least when you know how far long it is you have a better scope of how to handle it goning forward.
>>1173852 Oh, the ivermectin thing isn't proven. There isn't any real clinical evidence that ivermectin is an effective treatment for cancer. There are some papers with insufficient methodology that determined it but those were produced as part of the culture war during covid psychosis. Other than that, it's just anecdotal. A bunch of high profile right wingers have attempted it and it didn't work for them so they had to beg for real treatment.
But yeah, we'll know soon. Until then, it's just steroids and chemo! I'll just try to keep him alive as long as possible.

Imma rewatch stargate atlantis SG-1 is, of course, superior, but Atlantis is also quite good
S C
I really do like stargate cause it has some of the interesting bits of star trek, but it was made recently enough it's not, you know, people in teletubby costumes also it's got writers that can write
moon
star fence
S C
the first episode is, admittedly, not the strongest but it does get a lot better over the course of the series
S C
Atlantis also DOES kinda break the rules of stargate, which I'm not a fan of It's established very early on in SG-1 that stargates operate on a "whole object in, whole object out" system. If you don't go all the way through, you don't actually exist halfway on both sides, it doesn't start the transfer until you're entirely in But in one episode of Atlantis, the whole conflict of the episode is that a ship is stuck halfway through the gate with half on each side
S C
Like, that mechanic is why gate shields are so terrifying You can't just stick your hand in and feel if you impact something and obliterate your hand
Anno
>>1173865 What if one person is holding the hand of the person in front of them going through how does that work
they count as one object I believe basically the same as being in a vehicle or wearing clothes it's mysterious ancient scifi technology, it's very smart
oh wow, I forgot how EARLY the halfway-through-the-gate episode is it's episode FOUR and 1&2 are the same episode
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
how much of the show is focused around the pecularities of the star gates
S C
Uh, not much in Atlantis mostly cause the brunt of stargate mechanics were already kinda figured out SG-1 has a decent amount of episodes that to an extent deal with How It Works
Like the shield they develop after a bit It's basically just a thin iris of titanium, positioned really close to the actual gate, doesn't leave enough space for anything to meaningfully materialize, but it still "comes out" and gets just outright fucking cru- Wait, the episode DOES respect the rules? I misremembered the episode?
S C
Even then though, SG-1 isn't primarily focused on gate mechanics SG-1 is for the most part about basically the war in heaven The egyptian gods are evil, the norse gods are actually grays and they're good guys and with humanity's involvement, they're kinda hoodwinked into getting back in the fight (they've mostly been letting the egyptian gods go sicko mode cause they're dealing with their own issue, namely gray goo)
gray goo, or replicants, are exactly what you think
yeah that's why the norse gods have been in total crisis mode for the past, uh, 10K years, give or take I think they SORT OF solved it by the end, but not entirely like obviously with just basic bitch gray goo you can just, you know, nuke 'em the explosion is whatever, but combined with the EMP it kinda just puts the threat down the issue is the replicants are actually sentient like, above human level sentient, hivemind, they've got scifi shielding and stuff they've got what amounts to a homeworld where they legit slow down time

wonder when re:boot is being released
S C
it's kinda funny how in SG-1, they every now and then ran across people who spoke a non-english language Like in the original movie, Stargate, the people spoke, you know, ancient egyptian but in atlantis, which takes place in another galaxy, English is what everyone speaks A language that never existed in that galaxy, at all, until Earth's stargate program walked through the gate
S C
what's even funnier is, because the medical doctor in Atlantis is scottish, it's actually called out directly one time, cause while he speaks English, he speaks with a scottish accent Which means not only is English the only language spoken in the Pegasus Galaxy, it's specifically American English
S C
in a lot of scifi they kinda handwave this with universal translators or something, but in stargate it really is just the case that everyone speaks English, Earth is ironically the only place where modern English is not only recent but not the only language in use

deciphering language seems like a pretty proto-civilization problem im pretty sure the complexity there is less than interstellar flight so that should probably just come down to a time issue any adjacent language (e.g. it's in contact with the reference frame) should be figured out to functionality within a reasonable timeframe
maybe the very initial contact wouldn't go smoothly if

and of the remainder, maybe 4 are past what amount to feudalism Like we're not dealing with advanced societies or even relatively well informed ones, in stargate In Atlantis, every single human civilization is periodically culled and pounded back into the stone age by a threat powerful enough to have sent the original gatebuilders running back home to earth because they were getting their ass handed to them
and also the primary funny part is they all speak specifically American English and do remark on the scottish accent of the medical doctor of the Atlantis expedition so they do, in the story, acknowledge that the language thing is a thing
And also as mentioned, the FIRST people met through a stargate, in the original movie, spoke ancient egyptian, and they had to bring an expert egyptologist along just to establish baseline communication, which took a long-ass time >>1173922 in Stargate canon, he's basically correct I mean HE isn't in stargate canon, but he very much is correct according to stargate canon
The ancient egyptian gods did have the pyramids built as spaceship docking stations they did enslave humanity for, among other things, gold extraction they are aliens, though technically the 'gods' people saw were strictly speaking human beings. the gods themselves are the goa'uld or however that's spelled, who are parasites who control a host. Kinda like the yerks from animorphs if you're familiar

bring the ancient aliens guy onto the crew he'd lose it

they didn't invent LLMs in stargate because they didn't need to google translate anything
they've already dealt with far more advanced AI on multiple occasions practically all gatebuilder tech has some sort of, by their standards, rudimentary AI system in it, a lot of it responds to thoughts directly, and funnily enough, both them and the wraith have their own actual languages that aren't English (though they speak English fluently as well, of course) For the gatebuilders, that's not particularly noteworthy, they are a species so fucking absurdly advanced they made stargates for the sake of convenience, colonized another entire galaxy, during which time just the leftovers of their milky way civilization took a parasitic species from bottomfeeding on a planet in bumfuck nowhere to galactic empire worshipped as literal gods
but the wraith, I mean, it's surprising they even speak a language at all considering they have a sort of pseudo-hivemind going on They're not one entity or anything, they're individuals, but they're telepathic across very, very long distances, we're talking tens of lightyears of range having a WRITTEN language is sensible for such a species, but a spoken language, really even having the capacity for speech, is kinda redundant. Though there is an actual, canon reason they have vocal cords what's incredible is they went from zero to galactic empire, much like the goa'uld, but not by appropriating gatebuilder tech, in fact a lot of the gatebuilder tech in the galaxy is made specifically to avoid the wraith being able to use it at all, but through their own efforts by the looks of things, and they were QUICK with it
telepathic across tens of lightyears? instant transmission?

yeah, stargate is long past relativity it's of course brought in for plot reasons sometimes like in all scifi, but the lightspeed barrier was shattered outright from the stargates alone. They DO have a delay, but it's very very short

>>1173926 it's only a long way if you try to get there from the outside look inward
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I looked Inward and All I Got was this Lousy Ruminative Death Spiral
S C
like the ship they use to go between atlantis and earth (the stargate's not operable intergalactically for power use reasons) does so in 18 days that's thousands and thousands of lightyears
actually "thousands and thousands" is an understatement of frankly cosmic proportions tens of millions? even that's likely underselling it

>>1173931 youtube crunched it bad most of the editing i do is stuff in super deep base or very high bitrates that get borked when i put it on youtube it's kinda sad https://files.catbox.moe/mo8pei.wav here's the original wav
S C
actually I guess it's like 3 million lightyears in any case, relativity doesn't apply

there are dozens and dozens of stars in the sky there are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand in the universe!

wauw

i feel like going inward to the rolled up dimensions that connect to all points in space simultaneously would probably be easier than fighting against inflation
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
is the universe inflating?
S C
yeah well, sort of >>1173941 well it's a top secret US military project, it's not for public use or nothin'
moon
the economy probably is if they can stargate goods to and fro
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i thought they use the gouald standard
moon
gold can't be inflated?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
no of course not you can't just discover a new vein of gold or bring in a million kgs from an asteroid that's nonsense

> The Goa'uld took over beings as hosts, taking complete control of their bodies. Most are known to be extremely egomaniacal due to their genetic memory, and were capable of living thousands of years.

i need food and then we're going to migrate servers expect some downtime
just type in a username and hit register then you gotta babysit it for a few seconds while it makes a passkey and passes a gatekeeping test
Beta !ihDDLMqv5o
it made me one on mobile vis samsung pass which I've never used and then i cant log in on desktop idk
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you might be able to use your phone to log in on your PC theres probably an option to scan a QR or something
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you can also use the account area to add more passkeys to your account by entering sudo mode but this assumes you were able to login in in the first place ofc
Beta !ihDDLMqv5o
Yeah I am logged in on mobile but then my Firefox on desktop tells me to touch my passkey but there nothing on the app. I'll play around with it a little
>>1174011 there is something majorly monolithic about this image
S C
I guess they retconned the distance wraith telepathy can cover only enough range for the solar system at most
S C
one thing I did realize when watching SG-1, which I watched after Atlantis the first time, is that a lot of Atlantis is actually kind of SG-1 episodes one more time
Anno
I have watched quite alot of stargate already, it's getting time to reaproach.
S C
SG-1 is really good Atlantis is also good The rest is honestly not good
