@Kaffe@chitter.xyz A lot of rockets use RP1 (basically highly refined kerosene) and liquid oxygen, because liquid hydrogen has some big disadvantages (notably that it's big... very low density, need really big tanks, and also that it's cryogenic)

i don't know if they do anymore but red fuming nitric acid used to be used as an oxidizer instead of liquid oxygen too, for the same reason--it's liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure

needless to say RFNA is nasty stuff environmentally speaking

Hovik is another resident of the Silver Lining colony. He's a merchant by trade, spending lots of time on the road with his cargo-hauling airskiff, selling stuff that the colony produces and buying things that they need (leaving enough profit for himself, of course). Hovik has a one-sided crush on Aura and will often find excuses to accompany her on her demon-slaying journeys; she doesn't mind his company and can always find uses for his cart of supplies, but that's as far as she lets it go.

i think "if i had a nickel for every time (thing happened), i'd have ten cents, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice" is possibly one of the best quotes to come out of a kids' tv show

@Austin_Dern I really shouldn't (and won't, at least right now), but I'm tempted to buy one.

Neat little thing though! Seemed like your kind of thing.

hey @Austin_Dern, i know you're a big pinball fan, are you aware of the atari c-380 "video pinball"? not the 2600 game, this was a dedicated system that predates the 2600

we just looked it up out of curiosity and found out it's actually surprisingly affordable? there are people selling them for $50 on ebay

would have expected something like that to go for hundreds at least

spotted on a youtube video (granted, one about this specific video card--it's from 1987 so that *was* ultra high resolution at the time but it sure seems quaint now)
