For the love of God, tell me pausing is a mod. D:

A quick search says no. However, as long as you're not in a mission you can simply choose 'save and quit' and you'll pop back to where you were before you quit. Rather tedious, but better than nothing. You can also rest in a bed if hunger is the problem.

Not sure how well it'll work, because I haven't reinstalled starbound yet (and quite possibly probably won't for a while, since it didn't run very well on this computer), but you could try something like suspending the process. Process Explorer will do that easily, and Battle Encoder Shirase manages about the same when you set the throttle to full. Probably other stuff, too. Basically stops the program from doing anything until you resume/unthrottle. Only rub is some programs react worse to having that done to them than others, so it may cause crashing, instability, etc. Still, couldn't hurt much to try. Is my go-to for single player games that have shitty save/pause schemes or poor handling of being unfocused.

Taking advantage of old anti-russian fear, maybe. The actual concern seems to be that whole influence thing.

Though yeah, it's kinda' neat that we apparently have a face off against someone in the pocket of russian oligarchs and another substantially supported by more traditional american interests.

I suppose a cake donut is pretty close to a bagel, excepting the topping. I had in mind the other type. What type of donut are you talking about pizza wise?

Was just simple sugar glazed, no filling. Donut shop, something local-ish to the area I was in at the time.. forget what it was called, though. Do... don't use chocolate anything. Chocolate does not go well with cheese. I won't say ever, but I will say every time I've tried it has been horrifying.

And BBGTC, want to say it was normal-ish wattage (so somewhere between 900 and 1100), and probably for about 45 seconds, maybe a minute. That's usually about all it takes to warm up refrigerated pizza. Whatever's enough to warm it up and not wreck the donut consistency, basically. I'd probably say don't go over a minute, maybe a minute and a half, as most of the time past that point anything bread related is beyond salvage. For a slice or two, anyway, and with conventionally cooked pizza. If it was microwaved pizza to begin with, this is probably a bad idea.

I guess some people like them flat. That's okay. For me though. I like them big. The idea of pizza toppings on a donut does seem disgusting though.

An unglazed donut with pizza toppings would more or less be what we call bagels, and they're pretty good with pizza toppings. They sell frozen ones in a lot of the grocery stores around here, iirc.

Also donut as a pizza topping is pretty good, so I wouldn't be too surprised if doing it the other way around turned out pretty alright. Though as with pizza, there's a metric fuckton of different sorts of donuts, so I'm sure one sort or another work well as what amounts to a pizza crust regardless as to the compatibility of your average donut varieties.

Though now I kinda' want to make an oversized donut, cut it in half, and use the pieces as pizza crusts

E: Toroidal pizza, man. The pizza of the future.

E2: Or apparently the present. Not how I was thinking of it, but that'd work, too. E3: Wait, shit. That patent's older than I am. And looks like it came from from an earlier one that showed up at least by 1975. Well hell. Thing's basically a friggin' calzone donut. Now I really kinda' want to eat a calzone donut.

Eh, they've been doing fine doing double duty the last few years. Having a backup ready to migrate to doesn't hurt that much, though.

Well yeah, it's not that surprising, except in this case the products cannot be returned after voiding, since they've already been used up. What surprises me most is that it took nearly 5 years for the court to rule in the case, which was filed in 2012.

*shrugs* Refund for equivalent value, maybe less the few cents it cost the company to process the data. Want to say there's something similar for services, too, but I'm not exactly a contract law specialist

As for the time, that's... fairly normal for anything beyond the most perfunctory of business-related legal stuff. Longer happens pretty often, too... not that unusual for a major-ish case (or even just one where one of the folks involved are being particularly stubborn) to take over a decade. There's a reason legal fees like to bankrupt less well off folks.

I actually had a teacher that spent something like... ten, fifteen years trying to get money out of their spouse after a divorce. Eventually just gave up. Wasn't worth the time, effort, and legal fees. When one party wants to stall, there's a lot of room in the US legal system to stall.

E: Though, to be fair, the spouse in question spent a fair chunk of that time in prison. Still.

Fe... feline aids actually exists. That. That was a joke, reality. It was bad gutter poetry. It wasn't supposed to be real ;_;

I mean. technically it was a cat catching human aids, but. still.

goddamnit feline herpes actually exists, too _{i didn't know i didn't know i referenced actual housecat venereal diseases and it wasn't intentional ;_;}
