The whole "four-day workweek" thing, just say "higher pay" because what you're really asking for is that people get paid more per hour worked, such that they get paid the same, and only work four days instead of five. Why do you have to make it so complicated? PAY PEOPLE THEIR FAIR SHARE.

I've been working on this solo for a solid two months now. Finally, I'm happy to announce that it's now in a minimum viable product beta condition with the v0.2.0 and Season Zero.

Experience real physics while racing. By learning to play you also learn the basics of orbital mechanics, with concepts taught in an introductory physics class. Fly a space ship around gravity bodies in a server authoritative simulation.

If signed in, you earn points (Pax) by completing daily challenges which they can use to buy visual cosmetics and create new map challenges in the MapMake system. There is the Founder's Pack which grants an exclusive time limited cosmetic pack.

In the video what you are seeing is a true slingshot being performed by a player who understands orbital mechanics to increase their relative speed and direction the most efficient (lowest time/fuel) possible. You can read more on the site if you're interested in trying it out, thanks for reading!

It's free to play in browser without an account. Feel free to ask me any questions, happy to talk about it! The next update will be the Season Zero which won't be wiped. I plan on creating many more maps through the in-game map making system once is fully live to ensure there's plenty of challenges along with weeklies.

I've noticed that there is no page that covers the idea of orbital racing. There are many names of things called "orbital racing" that doesn't actually cover the concept. The idea being that you race in a vehicle in orbits around gravity wells. How do I go about creating this without creating a conflict of interest given that I'm developing Slingshot Speeders, which may very well be the first orbital racing game using orbital mechanics to race with time being a factor and delta V usage. The page for "space race" doesn't cover this concept. Thanks for any help.

Orbital racing in browser for free without an account using real inverse square gravity. Players that have signed in with google can now create and share their custom maps once a week. If you have any questions/feedback please comment, and thanks to you for being supportive.

If I delete my post, I want it deleted, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

So why, when I delete a post, I see "undelete"? Who was the genius who thought of this idea as being a good one?

Thanks.

The new snake map is a little bit of everything, pushing, pulling, moving, static. I still haven't found the best path. Thanks to everyone who played last time, your feedback helped shape what it is today.

A plan I have in the future is to pay homage to "Spacewar! (1962)" and add a PvP 1v1 battle mode around a gravitation well.

As an experiment to see if I can just rapidly cultivate it in a tiny area. It's been growing like crazy and I haven't needed to do basically anything.

Everyone commuting at the same time is borked. Drive around a 3 AM, there's no traffic. It'd be better if we pushed for shifts that don't NEED to be 9 AM to 5 PM out towards a different time like 6 AM to 2 PM.

What's "borked" is that we all conform to a weird strict standard of all leaving/returning at the same hour.

A tip is meant to be "Here's an extra $10, I know you're already getting paid a living wage, but you went above and beyond and were the star show the show, you deserve it." That's not what we have in the USA, we have some broken tipped minimum wage that makes it feel like an obligation. It's broken.

That's this universe we live in, the powers that be actively fighting progress, yet progress still is made. I'm grateful to those who progress technology and apply it to benefit humanity. The Drump administration just keeps losing.

Here's why it doesn't matter:

"AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. It was developed as a successor to VP9 by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia),[3] a consortium founded in 2015 that includes semiconductor firms, video on demand providers, video content producers, software development companies and web browser vendors."

I'm absolutely deleting my discord account once they update it with the age verification. The matrix protocol is a reasonable alternative https://joinmatrix.org/

I hate to break it to you 4chan dwelling normie fucking stupid shit head, but that 25 hrs a week is not because of the Affordable Care Act. It's because of greedy capitalist fucks who are squeezing you for every cent they give you to maximize profit margins well beyond what they need to for a healthy business model.

I love not having kids. I'm happy I have a small dog.

If you ever needed a solid fact to prove this is a massive bubble, here it is.

I look forward to seeing more electric leaf blowers. Sure they have a bit of an annoying high pitched whine when you're close by, but you're not going to hear it more than 5 meters away. I've also been seeing more electric lawn mowers which are also much quieter.

This means we absolutely SHOULD have mail-in voting. Basically take anything putin and drump say and do the opposite and you'll be correct.

USB-C will be around for a long time, it's a strong standard. Wireless inductive charging won't take over for a long time because it's limited in speed, and WiFi/Bluetooth are much slower for data transfer.
