The data for the pages was contained in the “flyback”; each dot of each frame of your normal TV programme image started at the top left of the screen, moved to the right and then flew back to the left, one line down until you had a screen’s-worth. The flyback was fast so as to get a full screen image in whatever the frame rate was (30Hz?) Originally the flyback was just wasted bandwidth: a necessary loss whilst your TV moved it’s electron beam back to the left hand side. But because the flyback was fast, you’d never be able to get a full ‘proper’ image in there; that’s why teletext was text and primitive block graphics. And why you’d have to wait several minutes to see the page you wanted on a trend page cycle!

Are you still getting killed after the latest update? The patch notes claim to have fixed the over-exuberant (aka unprovoked, murdering) security forces attacking you on sight. I believe this has caused AFK T10 deaths previously.

If you vote with the other hand, is it like someone else is doing it?

Stoopid helium. Welp, let’s use the hydrogen then.

1722 day streak on Duolingo Welsh. Bye then Duolingo!

I read that in the voice of Hannibal Lecter.

Internet Giant: “You need to pick one:”

a) pay for the service,

b) accept we’ll sell your data,

c) accept we’ll show you ads.

Consumer: “Er, okay… I pick (a)”

Internet Giant: “So (d) then. All of the above.”

There is no better. Close contenders were: Paco Scratchins

The taste buds are for Sweet, Sour, Bitter and Salty. That’s all there is. All the flavours right there.

It’s an unspoken thing, but I always touch my dice for luck before I jump.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not the human that instigates the yawn at all, and it’s initiated by the lung microbiome to regulate its environment.

For science: anyone up for huffing some chlorine to see if their yawning goes away?

Oh no! I guess no good deed goes unpunished after all.

I’d better start by saying this is not my server and it sounds like you’ve found yourself in corners I’ve never visited or imagined there would be. I simply stumbled upon it and thought I’d share some Nice Stuff.

The concept of players taking their time to offer something genuinely useful to other players, at considerable in-game cost to themselves and irl very laborious seemed genuinely altruistic: a rarity these days.

I’m not going to go hunting until I find the Bad Stuff you refer to; it’s the Nice Stuff that needs a helping hand!

I’ll follow-up by apologising for not being specific enough and try to fix that:

Nice! Let us know how you get on. If you run into trouble, perhaps there’s a DIN connector you could try?

Look for LEGAL (orange ones; not the purple) Raid and Exterminate Scavengers missions on concourse mission boards. Happy to discuss my recipes for fewer rebuys and failed missionsb if you want!

I did a bit of everything at first. And sucked at them all. Fortunately not a very expensive rebuy. Found a G3 Maverick suit, and things started to become… possible. I heard there’s a “sharing is caring” site, where cmdrs who find a G3/engineered suit or gun that they don’t need. Now-- I’m very fond of slaughtering settlements full of pirates and looting everything. I’m Space Nice but Settlement Naughty. Took me years to find this out.

https://www.spansh.co.uk is an amazing tool. It takes a bit of effort to set up a search, but it’s very powerful. It’s not just a Neutron Plotter!

My brother is just about to rejoin the game after a year out, so I’m frantically trying to get my suits and guns upgraded and engineered enough to help him in Odyssey. I’ll also be doing a bit of Maelstrom spelunking soon to scrape at that Titan!
