Yeah, you would only need to burn a little bit more on your initial burn, that’s why I said the cost would be similar.

It’s definitely harder to decay the orbit into the sun directly than it is to get to escape velocity. But to play devil’s advocate, there is probably a way to get them into the sun while being a similar cost to escape velocity. All you need to do is burn prograde to a super high aphelion, ride all the way out there to Pluto or whatever and then do a small retrograde burn to bring your perihelion inside the sun’s photosphere. When you then get back towards the sun years later you would slam into it with a sick velocity that I think would be worth the decades-long wait.

I mean if a state removed the TSA and spent the money on something else, surely they could use the money to create as many jobs as they removed but in an actual useful field.

Foot-pound is not a unit of pressure, ignoring the fact that it’s a stupid non-metric unit.

Both of those screenshots, the input is a fraction, thereby removing the ambiguity. But when you use the division symbol, an ambiguity arises. This is why you should never, for any reason, use a division symbol.

Well, after Tetris.

Just saw this community and it looks cool even though I’m probably not capable of solving most of the puzzles. But having looked through the community, I can only really find solution threads. Where are the actual puzzles posted so I can give it a go?

It’s a very large image, so many clients load a scaled down version. On Boost at least you can press the HD icon and it loads the fullsize images where stuff is legible.

Ahhh, the steam deck experience, I relate.

There’s a great video by Tom Scott on this exact topic.
