That moment when you look around for the most competent person, and come the sad conclusion that it's you

Meanwhile, basically every Dutch students "dates" by bike, and most of London dates via the Underground.

What even IS that?

Correct. I guess that could be clearer, now that I reread my post. Edited.

I mean, they don't "hate your guts", but the people making the choices don't give a shit about your feelings as long as you've bought the game. The devs, who aren't making those choices, probably want to make the best game, but they likely prioritise "having food" over "Making the best game ever".

Ehhhhhh.

Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it's extremely expensive in upkeep.

The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is "working on it", but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can't possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.

Some do, but they make it their main draw. The reason Kerbal Space Program is fun, is fun because you can fuck up and die in a million different ways, and not doing so is chalenging and succes is rewarding while failure is hilarious(ly frustrating).

Not fucking up and dying in Starfield means pressing the Use Healthpack frequently enough.

You can make condensed milk at home. You absolutely shouldn't can it at home. That's a pretty big difference.

Yes you can. Take milk, simmer for an hour. Thats basically it

Edit: step 3 would be NOT canning it. Keep it in the fridge like a normal person.

All 7 of them. The other 993 will upboat it for having a meme in the comment

I always buy dehydrated/condensed milk in cans, is that not normal?

Error-correction for dropped packets is also pretty shit.
