When I played it it had 6 asteroids. You could go however far you wanted, but it'd never draw any new asteroids and you'd just end up lost after awhile.
It must have been patched in the last few months.

Yeah. It's been quite a while now. It doesn't add a huge amount to the game, because your chances of finding an abandoned ship are pretty low. However, they're just now finishing up work on planets, which should be nice. They added a warp drive a couple weeks back so you can get around between distant bases, which I quite like. You can also save GPS coordinates and share them with your team, which solves some of the other issues.
Still though, if you play survival, it's really just a matter of flying (shipless) and stealing a few private sails for resources. That's usually enough practice to go for the medium size ships, but the military ones will just swat you down instantly. Trying to plan assaults on them was the entertaining part for me, since each ship has different weapon ranges and ammo, and different directions they can be approached from fairly well. I think I almost caught a mining hauler once.

The crunchy bits in figs are seeds, not anatomical parts of a wasp.
Good to know.

I have so many video games that it's gonna take me decades to play through them all :-(

Do all brands of photographic film utilize gelatin in their composition? How about Polaroid?
Any vegan-friendly brands that do not use gelatin? If so, what do they use instead?
Nooo! I can't use my vintage photo equipment without eschewing my vegan ideals!

2) If you're going to do it, you should do it in Terraria which is a legit fun game.
I built a railway across hell once. Just to fight the wall from it.

I joke with a vegan guy where I work that he can't drive a petrol/diesel car, or use anything made of plastics, because they're derived from dead dinosaurs.
He said he didn't care. I told him that a real vegan wouldn't have those kind of double standards, and asked how he could look at himself in the mirror.
I also got him to stop eating cereals because they contain insect matter. Technically he shouldn't eat chocolate because of the same reason. I'm saving that one for another day though. I wonder how many foods I can ruin for him before he gives up or dies from malnutrition.

"The Wall from Hell" sounds like a good late-night B-movie.

Make up some bullshit about citrus products, laugh like an evil scientist when he develops scurvy.

Right but:
- That's not fun at all,

Figs. Definitely figs. Every ripe fig contains a dead female fig wasp. We've had that discussion before, but discosearch.

Lubricants made from animal fat are used to lubricate the rollers in the steel production industry, so you can always attempt to guilt him in to giving up steel.
Also, the lubricant used to fit underground piping is usually animal-based. So he should probably eschew modern plumbing and municipal water also.
Seriously, the list goes on and on. If you really work at it, you can have this guy back in the stone age.
-

Now that I thought about it some more...a stone age shelter would be pretty shit without some animal hide to make it from.
-
More importantly many plants that used for food now would be problematic to grow/prepare using stone age tools. Plus the foods you use to make up for nutritional problems due to lack of animal products come from varied climates, with no transit more than walking (can vegans use a horse to pull a cart?) that becomes another problem.
-

And even plant-based biofuels use animal products in their manufacture and refinement so vegans are basically screwed.
-
Are you sure you guys don't have veganism all mixed up with jainism?
-
biofuels
Pretty sure that alcohol is allowed to vegans which can be used as a fuel (though a shitty one). I've never been clear on how strictly they define animal, but with yeast and fungi allowed it seems to just be the animal kingdom.
-
People even vegans think take it too far. Their psychic powers are probably stronger, though.
-
They(Vegans, not Jains who are ridiculously strict) aren't allowed to use animals or their products (milk, honey), but they (again Vegans) aren't that strict.
EDIT: made which "they" I was referring to clear
-
but they aren't that strict.
Strict Jains, including monastics, do not eat root vegetables such as potatoes, onions and garlic because tiny organisms are injured when the plant is pulled up and because a bulb or tuber's ability to sprout is seen as characteristic of a living being.[17]
-
I just read the page on their variety of vegetarianism. They filter water to protect the microorganisms inside.
-
Apologies, the "they" was vague will edit. Vegans aren't that strict.
-
-
Release them back into the source. Yes, really.
-
What happens if they catch a cold or get infected?
-
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do much about it unless it's life threatening.

A lot of food and candy that is red:
Cochineal and its close cousin carmine (also known as carminic acid) are derived from the crushed carcasses of a particular South and Central American insect. These popular colorants, which today are used to impart a deep red shade to fruit juices, gelatins, candies, shampoos, and more
-
A lot of food and candy that is red:
Yeah, we've had the conversation about Cochineal. He avoids certain chocolate because of this, I don't remember which ones because it doesn't affect me (perhaps Smarties and M&Ms?).
He was recently disappointed to find that his Vans shoes were constructed with glue made from animal byproducts. He
lovesloved his Vans.I've also mentioned that plants happily take in nutrients from dead animals/insects in the ground. Therefore he can't ever be sure if vegetables are safe for him to eat.
My favourite argument was that it's more humane to eat animals because they're dead before you start eating them. Salad is still alive when you eat it, and is aware that it's being eaten! I've told him he should be ashamed for being so barbaric, eating plants while they're still alive.

I did not know that, awesome!

You guys are amazing!

Since when were Smarties chocolate? The ones I gave my youngest the other day were just colored sugar.

Why don't we get those? Nestlé? Instead, we're stuck with these shitty things:

Send your vegan friend this story and film his reaction:

Amazing!

Cremated. It's how they wanted to go.

Not if you watch the Doctor Who episode "Dark Water"...
[spoiler]In this episode we find that dead people continue to feel whatever their previous body feels. This was first realised when the voices of the dead were heard to be saying one thing above all else, over and over: "Don't cremate me. Don't cremate me. Don't cremate me!"[/spoiler]Apparently [url=http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-11-06/doctor-who-bbc-defends-afterlife-cremation-scene-in-series-finale-after-viewers-complain]124 people complained to the BBC about that[/url].
In the second half of the season finale we however find out that [spoiler]it was all a scam designed to drive people to the 3W corporation so Missy could incorporate them (pun intended) into her army of Cybermen.[/spoiler] So I guess that makes it all right then.

They're discarding the separations carefully extracted from the problem space and embodied in the initial interface specifications! They seem to think the abstract notion is meant to be embodied by a single concrete class!
-
Hmm, do you suppose you might edit your post to include a quotation from whichever of the 1884 previous posts you're replying to? Because I haven't the vaguest clue who "they" are, nor what the separations, problem space, specifications and abstract notion are.

Post was on topic, sorry to throw you off.

Probably, but I have no idea which of the probably hundreds of first world problems that have been discussed in the Topic is your topic.

Please pop to calling method and recheck context. Am experiencing the first world problem of, my design is being misimplemented and I have only thin channels to those doing so.
-

That's the problem; your post has no link to calling method or context.
-
I think the real problem is that @gribnit has started writing like Yoda.
-
Pop until you're at the thread. Look at the thread topic. I am responding to the thread topic because I am experiencing what I consider to be a 1st world problem. I am sorry not to be continuing a previously recognized first world problem, as it appears knock-on is occurring - now I have 2 problems and you have +1 problems.
-
You have yet to prove he can post in other ways.
-
I am responding to the thread topic because I am experiencing what I consider to be a 1st world problem.
You are failing to communicate what said problem is, hence @HardwareGeek's complaint.
In other words: Your post sucks donkey balls.
-
Now I have another first world problem - having a difficult to comprehend first world problem.

Let's start easy.
They're discarding the separations carefully extracted from the problem space and embodied in the initial interface specifications! They seem to think the abstract notion is meant to be embodied by a single concrete class!
Who are "they"?
