Ravane posted:"Ooh, I'm Sandi, look at all the swimming I can do." What the gently caress is a Butterfly stroke? Looks like she can't do the Dolphin or the Mermaid. I'm a trained swimmer, achieving the high level of Manta-Ray. Unfortunately, I never completed my training, as they banned me from the pool for my European indiscretions.

Nomenclature posted:When people say "you don't go into science for the money," they don't mean "you will have to settle for an upper middle-class lifestyle," they mean "you will probably spend most of your life on the edge of poverty." In my high cost of living state, full-time state university instructors earn about $23,000 per year, and that's about what they could expect to get elsewhere. And in my field (which has both clinical and research jobs, better than fields like marine biology which have very few "for-profit" jobs), I see about 100 students graduate from my institution every year, but at most 1-2 getting jobs related to it. Did you forget a number there? Because I'm having a hard time believing you live in a state where a university professor makes less than a public school teacher. No, 23k a year isn't what professors expect to get elsewhere and 23k is what a grad student doing lab work is probably going to make.

But if you figure that during a tenured professor's career, about 3,000 to 5,000 undergrads will get degrees from my department, you can see that the ratio of tenured job openings to students with B.A./B.S. degrees isn't in favor of graduates looking for tenured jobs.

I would love it if this ever became an actual MMO game, and there just ends up a huge goon protected graveyard of ships somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The hunt for Goon treasure would be a thing, and if they ever found it, you'd just jack their ship while they're EVA exploring that shiny Javelin and kill them, further adding to the tears, ships and lulz.

So the Star Citizen wiki says a Javelin has a minimum crew of 23. Didn't Cig only promise a minimum of 40 people in an instance? I know the whole thing has been poorly thought out but I would think one would want to make sure that the biggest ship you are selling can get in a fight with another capital ship. Or maybe that is the idea, buy a Javelin and make sure have an advantage by virtue of taking up more than half of the instance by yourself.

When I went to college full time professors were making over 100k a year starting (supposedly) so I could see them getting up around 123k a year now, considering its been a decade or so. Considering even the food staff made at least 20k a year there's no loving way any educator made anywhere close to that small an amount. Not sure what university you're referring to but 23k a year has to have a few asterisks by it.

By piloting a Javelin and having your "friends" as crew you can insure that nobody else can join the server and thus have no griefers. Win-win.

Then inside of a javelin is a sort of an instance itself as well as maybe each deck. They call it zoning so going from one deck to another you will traverse a zone which as their plan should be seamless so going outside your ship is also going outside the inner ship zone and into the outer zone

AlmightyPants posted:Here's a question: How do the spaceships spawn in the game? Do they magically appear on the landing pads? How do the immersion lovers square this with their vision? Are they teleported in? If they're teleported why do spaceships even exist? What is the lore explanation for spaceships that weren't there suddenly being there? It seems like a small sticking point like this would drive the star citizens crazy. Especially if it's just magic and a wizard did it. Harry Potter made your spaceship appear! I watched a YouTube time lapse of the landing pads. They just appear about fifty feet above the flight deck and then drop into place. It looks really stupid.

what tier do I have to back at to get access to the space bulldozer? I wanna clean these whales off the beach. If CIG is still around next week I will be buying a basic package with which to grief, and I'll set myself a reminder to open a refund ticket within the 14 days to maybe get my money back (if possible). but I can waste cash just as well as the backers, and if I can make one grown man cry it will all have been worth it. just need to clean 54gb off my hard drive to make room for the 'game'.

All these loving people acting like video game players in this video game I can't stand it what the gently caress I remember when they say it was all JPGs and fantasies in my head about being a famous space captain. Stretch goal $200mil should be to withdraw Alpha 2.0 so all these people can go back to pretending video games aren't filled with people having fun.

Filipino is the standardized official version of Tagalog. She's double counting. I've been catching up on this thread, can someone fill me in? 1. People call Derek Smart "Dr. Smart". What is he a doctor of, if anything? 2. A year ago, posters joked that Ben was gaining weight and Sandi was losing weight. Has this trend continued? 3. Has any proof arisen for the goon theory that Sandi is Chris' mistress? William Bear fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Dec 16, 2015 |

In the only world that makes sense means that she has a larger role (and hence, more, uh, screen time? cutscene time? whatever) than Gillian Anderson does. I would bet that she doesn't play the love interest though, I can't even imagine the amount of fetishization the cultists would get into. Or I dunno, maybe she really likes that sort of attention.
