Coal burns. Coal is momentary and coal is costly. There will be no more coal burned in this office today, is that quite clear, Mr. Cratchit?

Now please get back to work before I am forced to conclude that your services here are no longer required.

As a huge fan of the books, they translate very oddly to film, so keep that in mind. Low expectations is a good thing, and you'll have a good time

I honestly cannot tell if this is satire or real, my friends are weird enough to do this

the spacecraft doesn't immediately lose all the celestial relative velocity just by going into space, it's still moving extremely fast:

• with the sun and earth through the galaxy
• with the Earth around the sun
• and is still affected by Earth's gravity, just now it's able to counter Earth's pull with a faster motion pulling it outward, so it balances out to appear weightless

Just by going into orbit and counterbalancing the Earth's gravity with rotational velocity doesn't mean it's not still moving extremely fast relative to the stars

wow a Unison comment on the wild! What kind of stuff have you done with it?

Eh kind of but just don't buy anything and you'll be fine. And read the actual literature and studies out there

like a pretty hot take backed by the science, there are much better bioaccumulators than comfrey

that's like attaching buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropping it, Murphy's law means it will spin in place just above the ground, as both the cat must land on it's feet and the toast must land butter side down

I don't think society across the whole planet will collapse, short of a nuclear war in which case gold won't help one bit

Much more likely that certain areas will experience famine, war, disease, and reduced access to medicine.

Really the best bet is to be able to be mobile if an area has a significant decline you can move to where it's better

You are grieving the loss of your old life. The freedom, the lack of responsibility. This is normal and healthy. Taking time to be sad and properly mourning is important.

Maybe it helps to write about your travels, to fully remember the good and the bad of it.

Take time to process that sadness and sit in it. Recognizing this will help you grieve. This could take months, maybe longer! Maybe you are also a bit resentful that you didn't live in the moment more then, and that you tried to grow up too fast.

Then you'll be able to assess your life right now and decide if it's the life you want or if you need a change. And being honest with your wife will go a long way, so she understands that you're sad and mourning a life you used to live, even if you prefer this life.

It's normal to feel depressed while grieving.

I've lived a lot of different lives, traveled and adventured with nothing a lot of different ways. Sometimes I look back at what I had and have strong regrets. A few years ago they got so strong I decided to blow my life up and go for a big backpacking trip with just enough work to sustain it indefinitely.

It was really fun, but it was a new kind of hard. After about six months I realized I missed deep connections with friends. I missed staying in one place, in building a life with folks I cared about around me - a real community. I missed hosting backyard BBQ parties, playing games with folks, spending time with each other, supporting each other through life's challenges.

At the end of the day, the adventuring was great but it wasn't enough, it was fun, but too souless to continue. The new friends every day, the new scenery, it was a grand adventure, but adventure isn't enough. I need a deep community.

So I picked a place to settle down and started building that life. Today I've got more neighbors as friends than I can possibly spend time with. I'm building deeper connections with people I care about. This was the missing piece.

And sometimes I look out window and feel regrets. I see the moon and want to be out in the woods again. I want to be done with working so many hours to afford this life. But I remember being so lonely I could hear my heart knocking around in my chest, of meeting people every day I'd never get to see again. And I focus on being grateful for what I have. The gratitude goes a long way to making me feel better. I have possibly the best life I could, and part of that means trade-offs, of all the other lives that have to die so this one can live. I grieve those other lost lives, but then celebrate this one with things that make me happy and grateful.

I hope my rambling helps. As you reflect I hope you find out what kind of life you want, and at least get a chance to feel the sadness and regret, and know it's possible to regret and move forward. It's possible to grieve an old life and still be grateful for the one you have.

And maybe, yeah, at the end of that you need to blow it all up and go do something else. I wish you the best. Feel free to write me if you want to chat more about this

wow she does look like Linus

Finally, the last piece to stop using Google Drive

Wow excellent work on an open source game!
