You know the "one dimensional thinking" trope, where people run directly away from falling/rolling objects, rather than run a small distance to the side?

I just saw a letsplayer do that in a space game! With full 3D movement!

In deep space, they realize they've over-accelerated, and are heading towards a small satellite 13km away at 500m/s. They go "oh no, I'm going to crash into it again!" and slam on the retrorockets.
To slow down.

@foone What scares me is that we're pretty much blind for asteroids coming from the bright sight, i.e. bodies that are hidden by the sun's light. Our telescopes only work throughout the night, so we can't see half the solar system. And the dangerous asteroids come from far outside and have their periapsis on earth, so when they become visible they are fast as heck (= hard to extrapolate trajectory & hard to deflect)

arch linux is the best propaganda for using windows that I've ever seen

@foone Hehe, running arch on my private server with very little downtime. Nothing like a little adrenaline kick in the morning when things break :ablobfoxbongo:

But I was raised with broken Linux installs scattered through the house. Some kind of trauma is to be expected when you give a 6 yo an OpenSuse running on a Pentium III when he asks for a computer to play games
