That makes sense.

I was thinking of the logistics of having a planet that trades organic materials with other worlds.  Seems like since you're removing things from the cycle it would be no more sustainable than say trading minerals with other planets.

[Frumple]

Eh, it would probably be more sustainable, if for no other reason than it takes more time to produce usable organics and launch them out of atmo than it does to mess with just about anything inorganic, but it's effectively the same thing. On the other hand, so far as I'm aware usable organics require much few inorganic bits than usable inorganics tend to (and what they do can be largely produced and transported fairly trivially *coughwastecough*), so it'd almost certainly take fewer imports to be able to sustain organic production and export than, say, factory production (or for some reason hauling resources back in to be mined... asteroid stuff?). So you could probably keep it up longer regardless.

[EnigmaticHat]

Oh that's strange but true.  You could import the essential matter for fertilizer, then export agricultural products.  Agriculture as a refining industry rather than a harvesting one, that's an interesting concept.

Ok I just want to be clear on this for cultural context.

did the new Ghostbusters movie, the commercials, or ANYONE working on the movie... Ever make any comment on it being a progressive movie or that it being an all women cast is somehow a good thing?

I want to know so I can gauge the exact community response to the movie.

I am pretty sure the answer is no and the feminist qualities are thrust upon the movie.

Potassium and phosphorus would probably be the things we run out of first. We're not really threatened by P and K depletion for the next centuries, but those would be an issue.

Alright, I feel like I'm going crazy trying to figure this out, is there any way to actually stay with a Discord server? Because as is, I have to dig for the invite link every single time I start my computer. That space on the left looks like there's suppose to be a list of servers there, right? So surely, SURELY there is a way to keep a list that you can just click on whenever you want to join.

Right?

RIGHT?!

I've looked into this a few times and found nobody ever talking about it, but this is not a usable piece of software without that function. Why does everybody like Discord? Is the whole world fucking deranged?

So, I've gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and I want to discuss it. There's a thread for the game in Other Games, but it's four years old. I've asked about necroing threads here before--but those were only a year or two old, tops. What do you guys think the consensus is for really old threads like these?

Seems to be just your Discord acting up. Everything's working on my PC as you think it should.

[Criptfeind]

Yeah. I actually have the opposite problem, getting annoyed when I log onto discord and realize I forgot to disconnect from a sever I only meant to go too once, so I have to like, pop into a chat with a bunch of people I don't want to talk too and then pop out mysteriously.

The consensus is the same as it ever is. If you have something at least somewhat substantiative to add, and don't feel like making/maintaining a new thread, it's fine.

Conceptually a new thread would be a better idea, most of the time, just because generally something has changed about the subject you're bumping over that much time, but often enough there hasn't or hasn't been anything big enough to warrant a new OP and a bump half-decade or not will do well enough.

Basically, don't worry about the length the thread's been dead. Stuff you want to concern yourself with is the same for a thread two months, two years, or two decades idle... though I don't think we have any that old, yet.

dude, what

That's not how Discord is supposed to work at all.

The servers you're in are stored on your account so I have no idea how your computer managed to fuck up that badly.

[hops]

To be fair what else do you expect from a box that we tricked into thinking.

[Frumple]

... anyone happen to know what's up with those car lights with the blue... dots, I guess, in them? Looks almost like there's a single insert LED or somethin' inside the headlights. Just noticed the things in the last week or two, and some quirk of rear view mirrors makes the damn things offset from the light itself and move around based on which way you're looking at it. Kinda' distracting, frankly, which is bad juju for the road.

Wondering if there's some actual reason to it besides trying to convince the other drivers on the road they're hallucinating, basically. It seems both pointless and a potential risk factor (albeit minor) for accidents, and other than some "brilliant" idiot infesting someone's design process I can't figure out why it's being done.

Besides what Cinder said, are you using the actual application, or running it through the browser? Probably doesn't matter, but since being in servers has stopped working for you, it might.

Has anybody used Code For Cash yet? I'm kind of interested, but I remember Upwork and Odesk being full of people wanting a lot of very skilled work done for not a lot of money.
