A Neurotic Jew posted:I love how completely miscalculated features like the showroom and the million mile high club are. Like even as cynical ploys to make money they completely miss the mark, not even whales care about them. Nobody gave CIG money so they could they join the million mile high club. Nobody is going to buy a ship because its being featured in the showroom. They are complete resource sinks. I think you underestimate what whales will give to croberts

Because how awesome is this that you can drink space cocktails and space dance in a space space space. The best comparison I can come up is frequent flyer programs. I'm amazed the lengths people will subject themselves to feel special in regards to flying. All the while the airlines strip benefits and deliver shittier services to their best customers year after year.

Being able to breathe deeper and stretch my lungs out more helps extend my bottom time and makes recovery sessions easier. Why go through the trouble? All that poo poo's going to be in Star Citizen anyway, and water's cold

I wish to thank the goon that mentioned Subnautica last week and thousands of posts ago. To everyone else:  I would also like to inquire if there are any plans to add a space bulldozer for clearing wreckage off the launch pads in the baby PU.

fuzzknot posted:The compatible pots and pans are why I'm noping the hell away from induction. I want cookware that works everywhere. Post from the past. Do you have a lot of expensive copper pots already? Or a ton of anodized aluminum non stick stuff? Induction just means steel/iron, which works everywhere. I just had to trade out my non stick set when I got an induction range. QVC has a lot of great inexpensive stuff in their kitchen essentials line.

Matlock Birthmark posted:Have you considered a pressure cooker that does other things? I got a decent one for the holidays and it will do rice easily enough, while also being very useful for a multitude of other recipes. I am, frankly, terrified of giving him a pressure cooker. I expect the slow cooker I gave him will do rice, but I don't feel like waiting seven or eight hours.

Hi eonwife E: and fuzzknot, what would you even have bootcha do with a stand mixer??? You don't have to sell me on their virtues in general (god do i want one  ) but for a learning kitchen user i'd honestly think the foreman is a better use of counter space. Being able to do a full breakfast and only dirty one surface, for instance, is awesome

Eonwe posted:Get an electric one I was scared too but electric ones are fuckup proof Yes, this. I would absolutely agree with you if I was still thinking of the pressure cooker my parents had when growing up. But an electric one is really, really easy. And much more versatile than just an electric rice cooker. My model is an InstantPot if you'd like to see what I'm talking about, though I'm sure many models use the same design and look. ^^ See, that poo poo is why I was worried about stovetop pressure cookers for so long.

Meanwhile, I've been reading. Finished the Parasite series by Mira Grant, The Bands of Mourning and Mistborn: Secret History by Brandon Sanderson, Gyreworld by Eve Forward/someone, rereading The Expanse (that TV show is great, by the by), and currently reading City of Blades by Robert Jackson Bennett and Poseidon's Wake by Alastair Reynolds at the same time (alternating chapters between the books). Is there something you're waiting for before starting a refund request?

Wow, Spaceship sales floor  So from what I've gathered in this thread about the games industry, your bosses can be running a child prostitution ring to fund terrorists, but if you report it then your the bad guy. gently caress, Jack Thompson and Tipper Gore were right all along.

Matlock Birthmark posted:Damnit Lime Tonics, I almost had the sale. I needed that commission! Hey man, pressure cookers are no joke, used wrong, explosions happen. Theres lots of videos of them. Hey, I just found a new idea for a star citizen mini-game. Monitor the pressure cooker levels, in real time, to earn 3 cents. original idea do not steal. edit : ^^^ the post above, people are actually defending a space ship car lot. It is better to have it done now, so it won't have to be bothered with in the future, is the reasoning. Oh, and the game is totally not a cash grab because it uses the games in game currency which doesn't exist yet. But you can buy it!!!!, but no one is forcing you too.

Looks like the shitizens/RSI are trying to exert control over the SC thread at E:D's forum (I'm also pretty sure that's not a real rule). https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=203785&page=222&p=3528874&viewfull=1#post3528874 I'm disappointed TBH they are normally quite laid back.

We had something similar happen with a crock pot of all things. The glass top exploded while simmering beans for chili. Luckily we weren't in the kitchen. Evidently after reading up on it, sometimes a seal can form that turns it into basically an unlocked pressure cooker on this particular model.

I'm trying to sell him on the extra power behind the stand mixer since it can handle bread dough without burning out. Also, your wrists don't get tired from holding up the hand mixer. I did make him a full Irish breakfast with only one pan for his birthday. All the flavor AND all the fat.

USA, USA, UEE... Er stimpire. I take for granted that Sandi Monica reads it- at least to some extent- since we get passive aggressive shoutouts and whatnot... I would assume if Foundry is the Pressure Cooker now tasked with turning Chris's celebrity-packed Megaturd into next year's hottest selling diamond that places like this - where his leadership is scrutinized and his terrible decision making ridiculed - would be a source of quiet satisfaction or occasional comic relief. But is that delusory on my part? Does Foundry even care about the incredibly trivial work we're doing here? LGD posted:This is like the worst possible explanation though- it's a direct insult to your intelligence and even if you are capable of suspending disbelief enough to sort-of buy it it should be the most extreme indictment of their technical prowess possible. The worst kind of lies are patronizing ones-- because you know the person telling them thinks you're too big a fool or coward to question them. Unfortunately, this tends to be the case with Star Citizen backers. Or it has been. Seems a change really might be in the air this year, particularly given CIG's priorities, which do not seem to be aligned with the interest of Star Citizen backers. Not one bit.
