This article made me really happy :)

Talk about humble beginnings!

That was kinda my thought, too

If anyone needs a good fiction read, the Hyperion Cantos series by Dan Simmons was so good that I just finished my second run of the series. It involves entities that run backwards in time as a future, space-faring human society moves forwards in time, and everything snaps into place in the last book. Very satisfying, and re-readable!

One discovered planet has tombs that are moving backwards in time, and nobody has any idea what they do, except that they are beginning to open, and a death cult is involved. And all hell is about to break loose :)

It's Elite Dangerous! Play pancake mode until you get the hang of it. Once you have some experience, strap in-it's a ton of fun!

What exactly do you think the fencing/bushes/perimeter is supposed to be? Bollards?

This always bothered me as a kid.

because reasons

I think it's ungodly expensive to retrofit to planes, and crashes are rare relative to small plane hours flown. While I like the idea, this plane crash probably wouldn't have turned out differently, as it sounds like it was about ~900 feet off the ground when it stalled and crashed.

Sometimes your ticket is just punched and you are totally fucked, particularly if your engine seizes in a single engine plane.

I recently played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back. It was really fun :)

I was surprised that it wasn't the fifth circuit, then my shock faded: the sixth administers Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as Michigan.

A second vote for Black Mesa. I played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back, and BM was way more enjoyable!

If it makes you feel better, my husband and I met in an online game (while we lived across international borders,) fell in love, and began dating. The game also has VR, and we explored massive chunks of the Milky Way Galaxy over many months during the pandemic :)

We're married now!

If you have four roommates and use AC, that's really not too bad. Montana with AC (solo occupancy) was $60 for 806 sqft in summer.
