I'm guessing this is some kind of climate change protest thing. It looks like your screenshot is taken from Bing Maps, but you can only see the outline of hte skull on Google Maps.

Oooh, imagine how good a bowl of next-day soup from the replicator would be the next day!

I think it was the way that exploration felt like a grind that made it so “meh”. A whole universe to explore, and you’re either going to come to a barren rock planet, or find the same enemy base/outpost 5 times in a row.

For a game where space exploration was one of the main selling points, it felt remarkably unlike exploring at times.

If you can't afford to pay for one of the raw materials required to make your product, then you don't deserve to have a business selling that product.

In any other scenario would this even be in question?

Standing in the street outside your crushes house, flag in each hand, trying desperately to remember the proper way to signal "will you go out with me" in semaphore.

The original mini had a wheelbase of just over 3m

The wheelbase was just over 2m, but the total length was just over 3m.

I'm not going to pretend I know better than the people who are buying them if they offer any real utility, but it's not like they're new. The Hilux has been around donkey's years. It's only the last couple of years they've started to catch on big-time. I don't understand what's changed that's pushed a lot of lads away from the likes of a Transit into a Ford Ranger.

Although I'm sure there were plenty of people driving Land Cruisers before who are in Rangers now, and are carrying precisely the same amount of absolutely fuck all in them.

The only people that read xkcd are those that can understand it

If that was true, there’d be no need for ExplainXKCD.com.

And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.

Surely if you’re sending someone on a 3000 year journey, you’ve prepared for the possibility of making a faster ship in the time between them leaving and arriving at their destination!?

I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.

I think they’ve over corrected on the suits thing, wearing those tuxedos all the time is probably overkill.
